We have ONE mission – to help you grow a thriving dog training business without the overwhelm!
We help positive dog trainers to cut through the overwhelm and create actionable goals while providing the support and accountability to make sure you meet your goals and grow your business – and your impact!
transform your business from stressful and unorganized to purposeful and growing
I know you have a vision you want to bring to life for your dog training business but you can’t see the steps to achieving it.
not having clear a clear action plan is costing you your dreams
Maybe you’ve done every free training you’ve come across, downloaded those resources and religiously follow threads in business Facebook groups but you’re no closer to having the business you dream of… yet!
There’s so much advice out there that you aren’t even sure what to work on first. Or even who to trust?
Taking advice from free groups can be risky – it’s impossible to know who is actually successful and following the crowd might actually be harming your business long term. After all, just like each dog that we work with, each business is unique.
generic business advice is for generic businesses – and you’re anything but!
Are you ready to cut through the noise and get expert advise tailored to your situation?
Would you like to have a close knit group of like-minded peers to bounce ideas off or guide you along the path to success?
Join Trainers Growth Group today and get it (and so much more)!
you can make a good living training dogs... you just need a little help!
Trainers’ Growth Group is made up of real, practical business advice from successful dog trainers & business owners who have tried it all, failed and learned how to make it work.
Formed by a group of skilled dog trainers and savvy small business owners, Trainers Growth Group is about mentorship, motivation, support and accountability because working for yourself doesn’t have to be hard and lonely!
Joining our community pushes you beyond your comfort zone to accomplish more faster in a safe, gentle way.
Imagine…
Imagine having a support system that encourages you to grow with care and compassion.
Imagine your business growing in a way that is intentional and purposeful – creating meaningful impact on the world and serving the people who really need you.
Imagine waking up every day knowing your “to-do” list is full of tasks that are actually growing your business and not just tasks that keep you busy.
Imagine feeling confident enough to go LIVE on social media, create a successful ad, launch a new program or dream a big dream.
Imagine being able to take time off for a trial – or even a vacation – without stressing about marketing, clients or money.
Imagine the possibilities.
YOU CAN HAVE THE BUSINESS OF YOUR DREAMS
Trainers’ Growth Group is the industry’s firstmembership program that includes mentorship from industry experts.
We’ve designed the group to empower positive dog trainers to grow their business – and their impact. We want to help you bring kind and effective dog training to as many clients as you can.
The group is great for brand new dog trainers who want to start their business with a clear plan and expert advice to avoid struggling.
BUT, it is also a wonderful addition to any business.
We are prepared to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.
This isn’t a course. We don’t give you a lot of content or theory to consume. The group is there when you need it but isn’t another thing to add to your growing to do list.
In fact, the whole point is to prioritize and shrink your to-do list by replacing busy items with real projects that move your business forward. Or to have a sounding board for new offerings, projects or problems.
Having a go-to group of trusted professionals who genuinely care about you and your business is priceless.
Stop just getting by and start buidling a business that supports you and your dreams.
“You are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.” – Jim Rhon

Meet the Founders
We’re so exited that you are considering joining us in Trainers’ Growth Group.
We know that this community is going to impact your business and your life!
We’re Jamie and Michael Badial and we help positive dog trainers learn how to run their businesses effectively by consistently marketing, improving their processes and taking a closer look at their financial planning.
We own Best Paw Forward based in Perkasie, Pa, a successful dog training business in a saturated, highly competitive market in the Philadelphia suburbs. We took our business from the ground up and with just the two of us went from grossing $12k in 2012 (our first year in business) to over six figures in 2016 and even doubled our revenue in 2020 during a global pandemic. In 2021, we now have 5 full time trainers, are building a facility and are growing by over 100k per year.
Since 2017, we’ve been the admins of the DTU: Marketing and Running an R+ Dog Biz group on Facebook where we’ve made it our mission to help other positive dog trainers to grow their business – and their income.
Along with our admin team, we’ve been hosting Trainers Growth Group since July 2019 and successfully helped dog trainers to gain clarity in their business, be more productive, increase efficiency and make more money.
