Running a Dog Breeding Business is Complicated
Not only is running a dog breeding business dynamic with lots of different hats to wear and things to manage, but it’s hard to talk about with people, it’s so unique it’s hard to find someone who gets it and can help you sort things out. It’s hard to toss around priorities, how to implement new systems, and to diagnose what’s not working.
Let me help you!
As a dog breeder and business strategist, I’m perfectly positioned to help you sort through your dog breeding business. My goal with my clients is to help them figure out where what priorities are, so you know where to put your focus and energy, but I can also help you trim the fat in your program and save you time and energy on unnecessary tasks, helping you replace them with cheaper, faster, and easier methods, without compromising the integrity of your program.
Whether you just have a few questions or if you want to work with me one-on-one for coaching for an extended period of time, it all starts with a free 30 minute call with me, please fill out the application below and we’ll get started!
Why Hire Me?
I’ve been running a profitable dog breeding business for the last decade, but it wasn’t always that easy. I’ve been through the ringer: I have dealt with marketing struggles, website rebuilds and redesigns, giardia and parvo, facility builds, and even a few less-than-desireable buyers.
I’ve tried a lof things, failed at a lot of things, then learned the ways to be successful, all while maintaining my integrity with my dogs, puppies, and buyers.
Beyond my personal experience, I’ve helped hundreds of breeders in various breeds grow their breeding programs into businesses that they love, profitable businesses.
I believe a dog breeder must make a profit in order to do right by their dogs, puppies, buyers, and their own family. I will share my knowledge from my own experience and the industry to help you find the perfect solution for you.
do i have to do it your way?
Absolutely not!! In all my experience, I’ve yet to meet two breeding programs that were the same and needed the same things. In fact, somethings that worked for me when my kids were younger don’t work for me anymore and I’ve made adjustments.
All breeding programs are different.
My goal is to help you sort out the solutions to find the one that makes the most sense for you. I also consider your life and your priorities when advising. This means that I will work to help you figure out a solution that fits into your life, even if that means you need to spend less time on the dogs. Most breeders are breeding because of the lifestyle in addition to the love of the dogs, therefore we need to consider your life and lifestyle when making adjustments in your program.
I have a wide variety of solutions to all problems, and I will share the options, along with the pros and cons of those options to give you solutions in a sort of platter style, where you can sample the solutions and ultimately decide what you want to do based on what’s best for you.
How Does It Work?
All coaching calls are 90 minutes long. I’ve tried a variety of different lengths, but 90 minutes allows us plenty of time to dicsuss a topic in depth or to go over a larger plan with multiple parts. If we do longer, it starts to be too much and it can feel a little overwhelming. That’s why I stick to the 90-min calls which are the sweet spot.
Sessions are done over Zoom call and we’ll generally share a coaching document on Google, where I’ll make notes and you can reference them later.
Inside our confidential sessions I’ll pull my experience and knowledge of the industry and business, to help you pinpoint where your program needs help and how you can make the necessary pivots.
“I’ve gotten more out of this 90 minute call with you than I have from any other business coach I’ve worked with in the last 20 years.” – Tim Daniels, Labrador Breeder
If you book a session or package of sessions, you’ll be given a link to my calendar to select your coaching time. The calls don’t expire, so if you purchase a package of four sessions, you can use them later on.
Most people find they can get incredible use out of one session, but most who do a single session go on to book a package because of the value they’re seeing with the coaching session. Some people like to schedule their calls weekly, others as needed, but the most common is using call biweekly (every other week).
What Does It Cost?
Coaching calls are available for $300/Session or $1,000 for a 4-Session Package. Payment can be made with credit card, Venmo, or Zelle.
How Soon Can We Book Our Session?
Julie can usually get you on the schedule within a week.
How Can I Use My Sessions?
Sessions can be used for anything you’d like to discuss, whether they are business decisions, breeding decisions, marketing problems, or, even facility design.
Here are somethings Julie helps with in coaching sessions:
- I’m not sure what to do next/first, I’m overwhelmed and it’s not working.
I’ll help you put together a plan based on what will give you the most return for your investment. I can help you figure out what will be the best use of your resources, including your time.
- I’m struggling to sell puppies, they’re getting older and they’re still here.
I’ll help you figure out if you have a copy problem, a marketing problem, a website problem, or an awareness problem. From there I can help you write the copy or make the necessary pivots. The average breeder I help with writing puppy advertisements sells 3-4 puppies in the following weeks, at their standard price.
- I’m not making money and I don’t know what to fix.
This is a fairly common problem, but the cause of why a dog breeding business isn’t profitable. Sometimes it’s overhead, sometimes it’s inefficiencies in planning, sometimes it’s the prioritieis, sometimes it’s a system failure, sometimes it’s a marketing program (and within marketing there are a slew of different things that can be the cause). My experience will help you figure out the cause, or causes, of your financical picture and the options to fix it. We’ll discuss those options, pick the best, and you’ll have a plan going forward.
