NEWS: The Dog Training Business Worldwide Is Taking A Hit From Sagging Economy

Dec. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- Trainers were busy, and people were shuttling their pooches to and from doggie groomers, doggie daycare and having paid dog trainers visiting clients home was a good deal for families with misbehaving dogs as well as trainers.

As the economy worsens, money is tighter than ever. Dog trainers have found themselves in a pinch and have been left scrambling trying to find more and more clients. "It's a never ending process the search for clients and it is always on my mind." Said Joe Swenson. "I started my training business because I love helping families and dogs. Now it seems like all I do is pound the pavement for leads and they are getting harder and harder to find."

Joe is not alone. The Dog training industry has seen sharp declines in new franchise start ups. Many current franchise owners are either leaving the field or cutting back to part time while looking for more work in related fields.

About 45.4 Billion dollars is spent annualy on our pets with about half going to our dogs. This includes food, vet visits, pet grooming, vitamins and support services like dog training.

"With the focus moving away from dog training as a primary expense it is critical to create a marketing strategy that includes this shift in the industry" Said Naomi Hunter of Naomi Hunter Consulting. http://naomihuntertrainsdogtrainers.blogspot.com
