The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapists
Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! Last fall we had a training inside our K9Rehabpreneur Community discussing the 5 pillars of a successful and sustainable canine rehab business, and given some of the economic and political landscape I thought it would be helpful to share that with all of our listeners. Listen to the full episode as we discuss: The tide has changed in the economy, and businesses that thrived in 2021–2022 without solid foundations are now being exposed. Sustainable growth depends on how we operate during hard times. Build relationships through marketing and nurture – Pet owners are still spending money, but only with businesses they trust. Relationship-based marketing that makes people feel heard is key to standing out and justifying your rates. Don't rely solely on word-of-mouth or vet referrals – They're great but unpredictable. Create a predictable lead generation system (e.g., Google ads, SEO) to maintain steady growth. Educate and nurture your leads – Offer helpful, free content (emails, blogs, workshops). Guide them with consistent follow-up after inquiry calls or form submissions, because people need time and reminders to make decisions. Keep investing in marketing, even during slow times – Marketing is the lifeblood of your business. Budget 5% of your desired revenue and treat it as an investment, not an expense. You're selling confidence and clarity – Especially now, clients need to feel confident in you and understand exactly how you'll help their pet. Use simple language and a clear framework to communicate your value. Are you interested in learning more about our K9Rehab Marketing platform? That is the only CRM and marketing software available in the market for canine rehab therapists, and it has been an integral component for our business and for dozens of our clients!

The pathway we were on was only short, no more than 100m and it led out into the open onto football pitches and playing fields. As we were coming down the path towards the open grassland and rounded the slight bend we saw there was a large dark creature which was standing facing us, with its back to the football pitches. It was standing up on two legs and I can't honestly remember many of its features, but I remember thinking it looked like it was a dog that was standing up on its hind legs. I'd guess it was about 6-7ft tall.BBR Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/britishbigfootresearch/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/deborah-hatswell-bbr-investigations-cryptids-paranormal-unexplained-events--2840337/support.

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapists
Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! We talk a lot about marketing and everything the comes with it because marketing is always going to be the driving force of any business, regardless if it is a canine rehab clinic or not. Without marketing there are no leads, without leads there aren't new customers, and without new customers there isn't revenue coming into the business. But, one thing I don't believe I have emphasized enough is how important it is for us to automate, and at times depending on where you are at with your business, delegate some of that marketing to someone else. Listen to the full episode as we discuss: Marketing is the Driving Force: Without marketing, there are no leads, no new customers, and no revenue. Marketing is essential for sustainable business growth. Automate and Delegate Your Marketing: Automating marketing tasks and delegating them to skilled individuals can help you stay consistent without sacrificing patient care. Hiring Help Can Boost Marketing Efforts: Hiring people to manage tasks like blog writing, social media, and Google Ads can free up your time and improve your marketing impact. The Power of a Comprehensive CRM: Implementing a CRM system can streamline client management, automate follow-ups, and enhance client satisfaction. Integrated Marketing Platforms Save Time: Tools like the K9Rehab Marketing Platform offer social media management, email automation, and reputation management in one place, making marketing more efficient and effective. Building an Automated Marketing System is Key: By investing in a platform that automates and centralizes marketing efforts, you can focus more on patient care while still generating leads and growing your business.

Canine Health Foundation Celebrates 30 years Stephanie Montgomery, CEO of the AKC Canine Health Foundation, joins host Laura Reeves to catch up on what the powerful non-profit has done and continues to do for all dogs. Montgomery, an Airedale fancier, joined CHF as the CEO in 2023, but “I was able to kind of blend my passion for science and dogs and started volunteering for the Canine Health Foundation as a scientific reviewer. And then I always say I'm a failed volunteer because now I'm working here. “We are celebrating our 30th year anniversary this year, founded in 1995. And what I was so impressed by was that folks had this vision. So what we do is we fundraise, right? And we distribute that money. To fund the best research that will advance the health of all dogs. So we do that through awarding grants to researchers that tend to be at veterinary schools. And when we evaluate those grants, we wanna find the most cutting-edge research that's going to have the biggest impact on dogs, and that's what we've done for 30 years. Canine Health Foundation helped fund the work conducted at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center that identified the canine genome. This is the basis for all ensuing DNA testing since 2004. “Prior to 1995 when CHF started, there was no dog genome,” Montgomery said. “The human genome had only been completed two years prior and it was pivotal. It changed the way that we could look at genetic testing and evolution of dogs and develop tools in veterinary medicine. CHF's contribution to ground breaking science continues to this day with research at hundreds of Universities, including studies into mitral valve disease that impacts millions of dogs. “I'm so happy to see the work being done because mitral valve disease is so common in all of the dogs,” Montgomery noted. “I'm a pathologist and the number of older dogs that don't have some mitral valve disease is really next to none. They all have it and we understand so little about it, even though it's so common. And so I'm so excited that we have new studies going that help us understand the physiology of how this disease develops. It will help us identify targets for future therapies. We also have studies on how to best diagnose and monitor progression so maybe we can make a difference and impact all these dogs that have mitral valve disease.”

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapists
Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! Through the years we have mentored and helped many different canine rehabpreneurs in a variety of different business models. Some of them were just getting started, others were growing and working through going solo to having a team, and others already had a facility with multiple staff members and were trying to figure out how to make their business more efficient and profitable. The thing to keep in mind is that regardless of the circumstances we need to develop a business model that works for us, keeping in mind our personal goals and how the business aligns with that. Because of that, some of us may want to stay small, either as mobile therapists or with a small space, while others may want to grow a larger space with many staff members. However, no matter if you are big or small, at one point you will encounter a challenge with business growth and sustainability so the business doesn't necessarily revolve 100% around you, and usually speaking those challenges with be related to finances or staff. Listen to the full episode as we discuss: Business Growth Comes with Challenges – Whether you're just starting, hiring your first team member, or scaling an established practice, business growth requires financial and strategic planning. Hiring Should Solve a Problem, Not Just Add a Role – Instead of asking "How much should I pay?", focus on what hiring someone will allow you to do and what problems they will solve for your business. Your Time is Your Most Valuable Asset – Hiring should eventually free up your time, but it won't happen instantly. You need to invest in onboarding and training before you can truly reap the benefits. You Can Only Optimize for One Business Phase at a Time – Choose between revenue/survival, profit, growth, or stability. Trying to grow while maintaining the same level of profit is a common mistake. Growth Requires Investment – Expanding your business often means spending money before making more money. You may need to reinvest profits, secure a loan, or bring in an investor, each with its own trade-offs. Avoid Funding Growth from Your Operations Account – If you deplete your financial cushion without a solid plan, it leads to stress and instability. Be strategic with financial decisions. Success Comes from Having a Clear Plan – Hoping things will change by taking things day by day creates unnecessary stress. A clear growth strategy will help you stay focused and reduce financial anxiety. The Key to Long-Term Business Success is Planning – Whether it's hiring, expansion, or financial investments, success comes from making informed decisions that align with your long-term goals.

In part two of our engaging conversation with Sarah Fisher, renowned canine and equine behavior advisor and co-founder of Animal Centred Education (ACE), we dive even deeper into the transformative power of ACE Free Work. Sarah shares extraordinary insights from her decades of experience, explaining how detailed observations, movement analysis, and sensory experiences can add immense value to the way we understand and support our dogs. Sarah recounts pivotal moments that shaped the evolution of Free Work, including how dogs like Oscar, Cookie Dough, and Henry played a crucial role in its development. We explore how subtle body cues, posture shifts, and movement patterns reveal hidden discomfort and help us predict the emotional states of our dogs - insights that can be life-changing for trainers, caregivers, and behavior professionals alike. Sarah also shares compelling real-world case studies, demonstrating how Free Work has helped dogs navigate stress, build confidence, and reshape heavily reinforced behaviors. From its impact on pain assessment to its role in helping dogs self-regulate, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge that will challenge the way you perceive canine learning and communication.

The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapists
Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! Recently we had an Incubator Mastermind call where we focused on Money Mindset Shifts for Canine Rehabpreneurs. I have mentioned this before, but shifting my money mindset was something I really struggled with during my 1st or so year in business, and personally I really enjoy talking about that topic with clients, mentees, or during any training session or lecture because it is a topic so many canine rehabpreneurs really struggle with regardless of how long they have been in business. During that call we covered many different topics related to money mindset, and I wanted to discuss a few of those things with you all today. Listen to the full episode as we discuss: Charge Based on Value, Not Time: Stop selling minutes and start selling transformation and outcomes for your clients and their pets. Reframe Selling as Helping: Selling isn't about convincing; it's about offering a solution to someone who genuinely needs your expertise. Understand Why Potential Clients Say No: The main reasons are often a lack of trust and, surprisingly, prices that are too low. Selling is a Transfer of Trust: Focus on building trust, clarity, confidence, and positive energy during every interaction. Nurture Relationships Over Time: Not every lead is ready to buy immediately. Build a follow-up and nurturing system to convert hesitant leads over time. The Danger of Being ‘Too Cheap': Low prices can lead to distrust and undervaluing your services. Pricing higher can actually attract the right clients. You Are the Specialist: Stand out by positioning yourself as a rehab specialist, not just another option among general practices. Charge What You Need to Charge: Set prices that allow you to build a sustainable business, hire staff, and create a work-life balance that prevents burnout. Mindset is Everything: Overcome the fear of rejection and the false beliefs that may hold you back from charging what you're worth. Embrace a Real Marketing Strategy: Focus on educating potential clients about your unique value and nurturing trust, rather than just advertising services.

What to listen for:Our hosts Robin, Stacy, and Crystal tackle not just the technical, but also the legal considerations of cross-training your dogs. After all, when a dog is run through both narcotics and explosives detection work and engaged in a high-stakes operation, the consequences can be disastrous if they are unable to respond to the right odors on time–simply because their training emphasizes diversity over specialization.At the same time, if done strategically, it is possible to cross-train in order to supplement detection ability, rather than cause frustration as odors compete in the field.But it's not just your dog's interests and strengths that you have to consider, but your own as a handler as well. The Dames of Detection invite us to find our “why” when thinking about cross-training our canine. We need to consider our particular skill set and career goals before adding more training to our plate.Are you more interested in athletics and competition, or are you dedicated exclusively to search-and-rescue? Are you focused on live or cadaver search? These elements all play a role in the decision to cross-train a dog!Key Topics:Can a Dog Do All The Things? (00:00)Cross-Training in a Way That Avoids Putting Odors in Competition (12:39)Knowing Your Why (21:55)Cross-Training Your Dog for Live and Cadaver Search (37:17)How to Use Cross-Training to Complement Your Interests and Abilities as a Handler (47:29)Resources:K9 Detection Collaborative Episode 54: Canine Handler Fitness with Liz JoyceK9 Detection Collaborative Episode 56: Talking K9 Fitness with Bobbie LyonsK9 Detection Collaborative Episode 81: Talking Nutrition, Fitness, and Training with Ronny LeJeuneK9 Detection Collaborative Episode 40: K9 Cross Training: What Else We Do with Our DogsWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.
