#16 Embrace The Hate w. David McKelson

The need for a social media presence is part of the new reality for any person looking to operate as a professional dog trainer. For individuals posting footage of your dog training journey is a powerful way to showcase your continuing progress, remain accountable, build a community of supportive individuals, and attracting potential mentors. For business owners in the dog training space there is also a clear benefit to sharing your message, adding value to those that invest in following your page, and potentially even gain new clients. Despite the tremendous good that can be gained from sharing content on these platforms, the reality is that it’s almost inevitable one will encounter critics and detractors along the way. In this episode Brad and Dave discuss the good, the bad and the ugly about maintaining a social media presence. The lads also outline some key strategies that can be employed to help you navigating the idea of posting content on social media, and allow you to get the most benefit with the least amount of drama. ----- David McKelson is the owner and operator of Pro Dog Training, based in Melbourne, Australia.
