Interview with Andre Yeu-Growth in the Industry

The Business Side of Dog Training

In this engaging episode, host Andre interviews a distinguished figure in the dog training industry. The guest shares his remarkable journey, beginning as a first-time dog owner at the age of 27, who transitioned into a pioneering dog trainer and entrepreneur. Raised in an immigrant family that discouraged pet ownership, his interest in dog training was ignited when he and his partner adopted a challenging ex-hunting beagle. This experience led him to explore various training methodologies, finding success with positive reinforcement techniques.

The conversation explores the guest's shift from the tech industry to dog training during the 2008-2009 economic downturn, driven by his passion for addressing behavioral issues in dogs. He emphasizes the importance of proper training and early intervention in managing aggressive behaviors.

The guest also discusses his educational journey through programs like the Karen Pryor Academy and his approach to building a successful dog training business. He stresses the significance of taking small, calculated steps in business growth, rather than making risky leaps. By 2021, his business expanded to multiple locations in Toronto, offering services from puppy classes to advanced agility training. The guest attributes his success to an analytical approach, continuous learning, and the willingness to adapt and grow from failures.

This episode is a valuable resource for both aspiring and experienced dog trainers, showcasing the transformative power of passion, perseverance, and strategic thinking in turning a love for dogs into a thriving business.
