The Cosmo Kramer Guide To Running A Dog Training Business
I watch about an hour of Seinfeld every day.
Running a business can be stressful. It can get overwhelming, demanding, and sometimes downright scary. After decades in the dog training trenches, I’ve learned that a solid laugh at the end of the day is necessary therapy.
And nothing makes me laugh quite like Kramer—Jerry’s eccentric neighbor from across the hall.
Remember when Kramer launched his own corporation, Kramerica Industries, and landed an intern from NYU? When the dean questioned what the intern was actually doing, Kramer admitted to tasks like “mending chicken wire,” having “high tea with a Mr. Newman,” and booking lunch appointments at Monk’s diner.
The internship was immediately revoked.
Every time I see that episode, I think of so many dog trainers trying to start or grow a business.
They stay exhausted and "busy" all day long—designing business cards, fiddling with logos, tweaking website colors, sweeping the floors twice, or organizing equipment racks. In other words: mending chicken wire and having high tea.
When you start out, you do wear every hat. But let’s be crystal clear about reality:
The single most important activity in your business is getting and keeping paying clients.
If you aren't generating qualified leads, converting them into high-ticket clients, and delivering results that turn owners into raving fans, you don't have a business—you have an expensive hobby.
If you don't master client acquisition and proven operational systems, you’ll end up with plenty of free time to sit around and mend chicken wire.
That’s exactly why we built The Invisible Leash Franchise.
