About our guest:

Ali Smith is the founder of Rebarkable, she's recently moved from just outside of London, UK to Maryland, US and champions force free training methods. Ali, 32, is passionate about helping her clients get the best from their puppies and helping them avoid future issues by not just training them, but also helping puppy parents understand their dog so they're more capable of being a confident and adaptable family member. That thing for my business was blogging. I found that blogging turned my business from being low value (both to me and my clients) to being much higher value. The clients were better quality, the knowledge they had was better, and they were much more reliable clients in term of payment and had easier dogs. And that was down to the fact that they knew how I worked, they found me easily on google, and they knew who I was before I knew them. It was also really a good thing for my mental health and work life balance because my clients knew I was investing in my business and in them!
