Capacity-First Business Mentoring for Reward-Based Dog Trainers & Pet Professionals

For dog trainers who are good at what they do… but struggling to hold everything together behind the scenes and want a more sustainable way to grow.

It’s never been more important

For ethical, client centered Dog Trainers to take ownership of their businesses and to stand up for what they believe in.

I also know having worked with R+ Dog Trainers since 2020, that the weight of that responsibility sits heavily on your shoulders. 

 

Because running (and growing) a business right now feels more challenging than ever before. 

 

Balancing your needs, your clients needs with the Business bank balance. 

 

Combined with the increasing demand on your time, energy and capacity as the world continues to stretch us in every way possible. 

 

While trying to stay up to date with the latest research and education, and begin to grasp all of the business jargon and “trends”

 

Which leaves you feeling more and more scattered, overwhelmed, stretched for time and further away from the business you want to create, and the people and dogs you want to help most. 

- This is where I come in, to ground you back into your purpose -

 

To help you to tune out the noise, and dial into the things that will make the biggest difference to you, as well as your clients. 

 

To fill in the gaps, speed up your decision making and to support you to take action, teasing out those quiet whispering of idea’s and partnering with you to bring them to reality.  

 

By blending together Coaching, and 5 years of industry specific Business Mentoring to help you to get back on track, regain your focus and develop new thinking that allows you to make meaningful progress and take tangible steps forward. 

 I’m ready when you are!

     How I work

No matter what stage your Dog Training business is at, my approach stays the same.
 

Grounded. Client-centered. Built around you.
 

Because there isn’t one “right” way to run a Dog Training business - only what works for you, your clients, and the life you want to build.

My work blends coaching, business mentoring, and an understanding of how people learn, think, and take action.

So you’re not left on your own with a list of things to do…

You leave with a clearer way forward — and the support to put it into action, one step at a time. 

I work with a small number of clients at a time, allowing for a more focused, personalised approach and long-term support where needed.
 

Sessions are delivered virtually, so you can access support wherever you’re based in the UK.

Meet Sasha

Life Coach & Business Mentor

I work with dog trainers and pet professionals who are good at what they do…


but are tired of holding everything together behind the scenes.

The ones who care deeply about their clients and their work but are feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or heading towards burning out.
 

My work brings together the practical side of running a business…with the human side that often gets overlooked.

So you can build something that not only works
but actually feels sustainable to hold.

"Your current capacity does not equal                         your future capability"

Coaching by Sasha is an invaluable part of my business that I wouldn't be without. Her ability to form a space of trust, openness and support is something I value highly and get so much benefit from.

Sasha is such an amazing, compassionate, professional and coach free of any judgement!

I've worked with her for a good 3ish years now and I could never be without having her to help and guide me through my business ups and downs! 

- Sarah 

Dog Trainer

Being accountable to someone as non judgemental, skilful and lovely as Sasha means I am even beginning to enjoy some of the tasks that I had previously dreaded. 
I would have no hesitation recommending her services to anyone in a similar position.
