Support Sasha’s Journey to Becoming a Certified Dog Trainer
Donation protected
Hi, I’m Sasha, and I’m the founder of a small dog training business dedicated to helping fearful and aggressive dogs build trust, confidence, and loving relationships with their families. My journey has been one fueled by passion, dedication, and a deep love for animals. Since starting my business, I’ve poured everything I have into it, striving to make a real difference in the lives of dogs and their owners. However, as a small business owner, I’ve faced constant struggles - unpredictable income, balancing personal and business expenses, and finding the time and resources to continue growing professionally.
But, I've been given a chance that could change everything. I’ve been accepted into the Karen Pryor Academy Dog Trainer Professional Program, one of the most prestigious and respected dog training programs in the world. I’m beyond excited for this incredible opportunity to gain advanced skills, knowledge, and the certification needed to elevate my business. However, there's one major hurdle standing in my way: the tuition. The cost is simply beyond my reach right now.
I've always been someone who takes care of myself and handles my responsibilities on my own. However, although it’s hard for me to admit, I'm humbly asking for your support because this time I can’t do this alone! This is a pivotal moment in my career, and with your support, I can take this next step toward becoming a certified, highly skilled trainer.
Here’s how your support can help me:
- Gain Credibility: With the Karen Pryor Academy certification, I will be recognized as a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA-CTP), which is one of the most respected credentials in the dog training industry. This certification will not only enhance my reputation but also demonstrate to potential clients that I am highly trained and dedicated to providing the best care for their dogs.
- Expand My Impact: As a certified trainer, I'll be able to teach more advanced techniques that will benefit dogs who need specialized training, and I'll be equipped with the most current, science-based methods to achieve long-term success.
- Grow My Business: This course will provide me with the tools I need to expand my services and reach more clients. With increased credibility and knowledge, I’ll be able to attract a wider audience!
- Elevate My Skills: This isn't just about the certificate - it's about becoming the best trainer I can be. The program will deepen my understanding of animal behavior and positive reinforcement, helping me to be a more effective trainer and advocate for the dogs I work with. I believe that the more I learn, the better I can serve my clients and their pets.
Why I Need Your Help:
Running a small business is tough, and sometimes, the road to growth feels impossible. The tuition for the Karen Pryor Academy program is a financial barrier I can’t overcome without help. Thankfully I have been offered a scholarship that covers a portion of the tuition, but I still needs help raising funds to cover the remaining balance. This is why I need your help! Every bit of contribution counts and will bring me closer to achieving my dream of becoming a certified dog trainer. Also sharing this with others who might be able to help would mean the world to me❤️! Your support will directly impact my ability to grow as a trainer, help more dogs, and continue to build a business based on love, trust, and positive change. Thank you for reading!
With heartfelt gratitude,
