 Exceptionally well written and superbly organizedFeb 07, 2008
By Midwest Book Review
A professional dog-trainer, Veronica Boutelle is also the former Director of Behavior and Training at the San Francisco SPCA. In "How To Run A Dog Business: Putting Your Career Where Your Heart Is", she draws upon her many years of experience and expertise to show aspiring dog trainers wanting to start their own business how to analyze their market, set prices, and advertise their services; determine what licenses, insurance, and professional affiliations are needed; create systems that profitably streamline the business; and how to balance work demands with having a personal life. Exceptionally well written and superbly organized, "How To Run A Dog Business" is very highly recommended for aspiring professionals, as well as non-specialized general readers who enjoy the company and training of their canine companions.

A must have for dog professionals.Apr 07, 2008
By Cindy
I've been running a small dog training business for around 8 years now and after reading this book, have realized how many things I could be doing better. Her ideas are simple yet effective. This is a definite MUST READ if you're thinking of going into a dog related business or even if you're already in one!

 Good starter bookFeb 06, 2009

"lablady"
I'm currently reading the book titled How to Run a Dog Business, etc. As an aspiring dog trainer, I thought it would give me a bit more detail, but so far it is helpful, but not as extensive or comprehesive as I hoped.
The compass for my new dog business!Feb 06, 2012
By Leap
I got this book on a recommendation for starting my new dog training business. It has been immensely helpful! I even thought I was doing all the right things with starting up, but it showed me a few I had overlooked in all the chaos. I'm so glad to have the guidance of this wonderful book!
