From the back cover:

“Have you always wanted to do one-on-one, private training but didn’t know how to go about it? This guide is like having a friend explain it all! You’ll start with exercises to assess your current skills, learn about sales and scheduling, and view sample phone scripts. Then it’s on to the ins and outs of taking a history. You’ll get questionnaires on various topics, and explanations of what your clients’ answers might mean. You’ll also get pointers on designing lesson plans and protocols, tips on promoting client follow-through, and an entire chapter devoted to commonly asked questions. There’s even a bonus section with ready-to-use forms, contracts, and handouts!

• Pros and cons of selling single sessions vs. packages
• What to do if an owner cannot perform an exercise correctly
• Which exercises should never be done back to back
• Which questions are crucial to ask in aggression cases
• How to work with two dogs in a home
• Special considerations for working with elderly clients
