Dog Trainer Burnout is a Money Problem: Fixing Your Business Finances with Bobbie Logan

Many dog trainers burn out  because they work long hours for very little money – It doesn´t have to be like that.  Fixing your business finances automatically solves that problem.   Today, we sit down with Bobbie Logan a financial empowerment coach and multi‑award‑winning bookkeeper to discuss why burnout is so strongly related to how you hand your business finances. We bust the money-related myths that are holding you back - “I can’t charge that,” “accountants are a luxury,” and “I’m running this for the dogs, not for profit.” We also unpack how to develop the practical money habits you need to break this negative cycle. Including, monthly money dates, simple bank account setups, and tax pots, and asking better questions of your accountant. We've got a brand-new business health check for you - it´ll show you exactly where your business is working really fucking well, and where you are haemorrhaging time, money, and energy - all in the time it takes to make a cuppa.

Early, ongoing bookkeeping and strategic input will reduce tax, smooth cash flow, and support better decisions.  Hiring a decent bookkeeper from the start pays for itself many times over. Choose a bookkeeper that uses language you understand and is happy to answer all of your questions. Why pay for someone who only handles your tax return when you can have an expert there to help you build your business. Most of us have a negative mindset around money e.g. the belief that “money doesn´t grow on trees.” That holds us back. Bobbie explains how to address that issue. When you don´t charge what you are worth, you are holding your customers back as well as yourself. BEST MOMENTS “Burnout is actually a state of you're not earning enough - It's not that you're doing too much.” “Knowing your numbers is the one thing that will drive your business and really drive you to make more money.” “If you are not charging your worth, you already feel worthless.” “As a business owner, you don't do it for free. You're not a charity. You are there to share your knowledge.” If this episode has hit a nerve around money, you need to be at CBA Live on the 9th and 10th of July. Bobby will be there in person, going deeper into money mindset and sharing simple, no‑jargon tips to improve your dog business´ bottom line.   👉 Grab your ticket now at https://www.caninebusinessacademy.com/cba-live-2026 GUEST RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/thewanderfulbookkeeper SOCIALS AND IMPORTANT LINKS https://www.tiktok.com/@letstalkdogbusiness https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkDogBusiness www.caninebusinessacademy.com Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caninebusinessacademycommunity Let´s Talk Dog Business Strategy Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lets-Talk-Dog-Business-Strategy/dp/1068791705 Email: hello@caninebusinessacademy.com ABOUT THE HOSTS Jo Moorcroft and Vicky Davies are dog behaviourists, business strategists, and co-founders of Canine Business Academy—the UK’s go-to hub for dog professionals who want more than just a logo and a dream.With a combined passion for dogs and business done properly, Jo and Vicky have helped hundreds of canine professionals build sustainable, profitable businesses rooted in real impact.🏆 Their award-winning work has earned recognition including:– UK StartUp Awards: Business to Business (Midlands)– Small Business Awards UK: Most Innovative Small Business 2025– Business Awards UK: Most Innovative Pet Product 2024– Plus shortlists at the Women in Business and Great British Businesswoman Awards.
