When Is It Time to Leave A Toxic Job As a Dog Trainer & Start Your Own Biz?

Don't postpone your peace because chaos is familiar. 

In this episode of the Mind Your Own Dog Business Podcast, Kristen Lee talks to the dog trainers of the industry who find themselves employed by toxic AF employers, whether that is employees of training facilities that do group classes, board and trains, day trains, or even dog training businesses without a facility. 

Kristen explains the toxic dynamics that send truly great, experienced dog trainers out of employee roles into business ownership roles. This trend is attributed to various factors, including a focus on profit over quality, micromanagement, trauma bonding among staff, and unhealthy dynamics between leadership and staff. 

Kristen Lee also outlines red flags signaling a toxic work environment. She encourages dog trainers to recognize these signs and consider leaving toxic environments an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
