90-day online marketing plan
Good Sit Dog Training
Good Sit Dog Training will turn worried owners searching in the evening into morning phone calls by answering their exact problems online and by being the name that vets and groomers already pass on.
More calls and enquiries · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Give every common problem its own page, such as puppy biting, pulling on the lead and recall, each ending with your phone number, so a frustrated owner finds help and a way to reach you on the same screen.
Complete your Google Business Profile with where you teach, your class dates and photos of real sessions taken with owners' permission, because people searching for puppy classes near me call from the map.
Make vets, groomers, breeders and rescues part of your marketing with a short card that says which dogs you help, which you refer on and how to reach you.

Your channels, in order
Website and Google search Medium effort · Low cost
Owners search for the problem they have, so a page for each problem and each class lets you appear when they do.
- Give puppy classes, obedience classes, dog training at home and behaviour help a page each, and use the phrase owners type as the heading of every one.
- Add short pages on stopping puppy biting, pulling on the lead and recall, each with what causes the habit and what you would teach instead.
- Show your phone number, a short enquiry form and the next class dates on every page, so a worried owner never has to hunt for them.
Google Business Profile Low effort · Free
People searching for a trainer nearby see the map before any website, so a complete listing with a call button can win the call first.
- Pick the dog trainer category, name the venues and areas where you teach and add each class as a service.
- Add photos of your venue, your treat bag and sessions in progress, taken with owners' permission and without children's faces.
- Post each new course date, and answer reviews promptly.
Vets, groomers, breeders and rescues Medium effort · Low cost
They meet new owners before you do and pass on the trainers they trust.
- Take a short card to each local vet reception, groomer and breeder, saying which dogs you help and when you refer on.
- Offer to explain your methods in person and leave a few class leaflets.
- Send a thank-you message whenever someone sends you a client.
Facebook Medium effort · Low cost
Local family and dog owner groups are where people ask who to trust with a new puppy.
- Open a page that says where you teach and has the message button switched on.
- Post a short clip of a class skill each week, with the dates of the next course.
- When someone in a local group asks who to call about a puppy, reply helpfully and point to your page, if the group's rules allow it.
WhatsApp and text follow-up Low effort · Free
Owners in the middle of a problem want a quick human reply, and a waiting list kept by message fills the next course.
- Use a business number for enquiries and set a greeting that asks the dog's age, the habit and the owner's area.
- Keep a waiting list for each course and message it first when dates are set.
What your website needs
- A home page that opens with dog trainer near me, names the area you teach in and puts the next class dates beside a call button.
- A puppy classes page with what the class covers, who it suits, the venue and a way to book a place.
- A dog obedience classes page for older puppies and adult dogs, with the skills covered week by week.
- A dog training at home page explaining a one-to-one session, from the opening conversation to the weekly practice.
- A dog behaviour help page that says what you help with and when you ask owners to see a vet first.
- Problem pages for stop puppy biting, stop dog pulling on lead and dog recall training, each ending with an enquiry form.
- An about page with your methods, your qualifications and memberships and the cover you hold, saying only what is true.
