Unlimited Income in
a Career you Enjoy
Professional dog trainers have the opportunity to earn a significant
amount of money while working with animals and helping people. For
many, this represents the best of all possible worlds. Imagine being
able to make a great living while doing something you love. What’s
more, there is tremendous opportunity. Consider the fact the 1999-2000
National Pet Owners Survey by the American Pet Products Manufacturing
Association (APPMA), estimates there are approximately 62,400,000
owned dogs in the United States and the pet business is a multi-billion
dollar industry.
Professional dog trainers
are in a unique position since nearly no overhead cost is needed
to start a dog training business. Aside from schooling, what determines
success is your knowledge and skill. It is for this reason that
the ABC program is so valuable, especially when professional dog
trainers can earn up to $150 per hour, depending on experience and
location.
Own your own business
Steven Appelbaum started his own company in 1980 by hanging home
made flyers on supermarket bulletin boards. Fourteen years later
he owned the largest training company in North America. Part of
what makes the ABC program unique are Steve’s proven business
building methods. With ABC learn to be a great dog trainer and a
savvy business owner. Steve will share his secrets with you, to
help insure your business' success!
Most people dream of
being their own boss and owning their own business. Unfortunately,
this dream is beyond the reach of many because of the cost involved
in purchasing or building a business. While this is true in most
professions, it is not true for professional dog trainers. For dog
trainers, there is little start up cost to create a business. ABC
will teach you how to start your business for a few hundred dollars,
instead of the thousands it takes to start a business in other industries.
Enjoy the freedom of making your own hours and being in control
of your own destiny. Why be at the mercy of an employer, when you
can make your own business decisions? The ABC program gives trainers
both the dog training knowledge and the business knowledge they
will need should they elect to start their own companies.
Great Part-Time Income
Professional Dog Trainers can use their knowledge and skill as a
way of helping people and their pets while earning significantly
more than the average part time job. This makes the ABC program
especially valuable for college students or anyone in need of additional
income without having to work long hours on top of your already
existing responsibilities. Nationally, most part time jobs pay between
$8.50 and $12.00 per hour. Compare this to trainers earning an average
of $20 per hour. What’s more, you can do something you love.
