You do this for the dogs.
I get it. Me too.
​
But, as you're probably finding out, it's not enough to have a heart for the dogs 😩
​You also need a head for business.
_edited_edited.jpg)
But you didn't choose this career to become a marketing guru. You didn't expect to become bogged down by things like hashtags, ad budgets, and algorithms.
Yet here you are, feeling more like a novice marketer than the professional dog expert you truly are.
Is this you?
Your days are full of scrolling on social media for inspiration (when really there's more enjoyable ways to spend your free time). You're overwhelmed by the complexities of social media strategy and feel like you aren't reaching the right people (or any people).
You don't understand why some months you have plenty of client leads, and other months you have none, and the feast-or-famine business model just isn't for you. You want a sustainable source of leads so you don't have to feel slimy in your sales tactics.
You love nothing more than delivering an incredible service to your clients, but you don't seem to be attracting the right clients. You aren't interested in offering only high ticket programs (like board & trains) and want more work-life balance than that offers.
You do this for the dogs.
But you also need to do this for you.
Your business should support your life, not consume it. You are allowed to want out of the daily social media mayhem. And you know that a strategy is the way to do that.
Let me guess...
You've got questions about the reality of implementing an organic marketing strategy:
What can I do to attract the right clients?
Is it possible to grow without paid aids?
How can I stand out in a saturated market?
How can I create more consistency in my client leads?
What if I tried and nothing is working?
Maybe you've given this "organic marketing thing" a try. Dipped your toe (or dove head in) to the world of content creation. But without a strategy or a plan, content creation feels a lot like throwing spaghetti at the wall, and none of it sticking. And every day you wake up right where you were the day before, with a floor covered in noodles and no closer to actually making pasta.
Maybe, just maybe,
you even thought about throwing in the towel on your dream dog biz.
(Been there...)
But if you are delivering a transformative and valuable service to dogs and the people who love them, then visibility is the only thing standing between you and your business goals.
dogs out there need you.
But if you want to help them, you need to reach their people.
What it would do for your business and your life if you had consistent high quality client leads? What would it be like to know you were reaching your target audience through a simple organic marketing strategy? How would you feel about social media if you had a plan and could show up in a fraction of the time and actually see the results in your business?
It's a lot simpler than you think.
In just six weeks, you can completely transform your business. And it's not going to cost your work-life balance. It's not going to compromise your values.
​
I won't tell you to raise prices as high as you can and target the wealthy neighborhoods. I heard that pitch. Literally. And I wanted no parts of it.
​
You don't have to choose between being profitable and value-driven. You can care about your income and your impact.

Hey, I'm Mattison
A certified dog trainer and behavior consultant (CPDT-KA, CDBC) with a degree in advertising and a background in corporate system solutions (which just means I’m very good at creating efficiencies!)
My business, Freed by Training, is built on second chances, and in just 3 years I've worked with over 400 dogs. Last year I grew my Instagram following by over 10K through an organic social media strategy (while training dogs full time).
I stumbled along in the early stages of my business, and I'm here to streamline your growth by giving you my exact playbook of what worked (and what didn't).
When I decided to “go solo” as a professional dog trainer, it was almost exactly two years after being released from prison.
The most important thing I knew I had to get locked in was solid lead channels. I needed clients, consistently.
I needed a way to increase my business visibility without relying on paid ads, and organic content marketing was the solution. It required just one thing: time investment. And I had that!
are you ready to be an amateur expert?
You don't need a marketing degree. You don't need to become an SEO expert. What you need is to become an "amateur expert" in a few important marketing concepts that will have a big impact on your business. You don't need to go deeper than you need to go.
​
That's what I'm here to bring you. Not just learn-from-my-mistakes proven strategies and systems, but also a no-fluff streamlined blueprint to become exactly who you need to be to reach your goals.

When does the program begin? You will get access to the full curriculum as soon as you enroll! You will get a welcome email with your username and password to access your Dashboard, and you can get started right away! Included in that email will be your instructions to join The Dog Nerd Network to access your weekly office hours and live coaching calls (you can also find this information in the Welcome module in your dashboard).
How long does it take to implement these strategies? I know your time is a valuable and limited resource. That's why my program is designed for busy dog professionals and focused on efficiency and effectiveness. Expect to carve out at least 2-3 hours each week going through the material and attending (or watching) the live events. As long as your business foundation is strong, my strategies can be integrated into your current framework (I'm talking minimal time investment for maximum return!)
Is the GROWTH Blueprint program live or recorded? It's important to me that I accommodate different learning styles and schedules. You'll have access to pre-recorded lessons that you can go through at your own pace, ensuring you never miss a beat and can revisit the material as needed. I'm also hosting live training sessions and coaching calls to provide real-time support, personalized advice, and the opportunity to engage directly with me (and each other!)Â All live training and coaching call replays will be provided.
What if I struggle with content creation? No problem! The GROWTH Blueprint includes resources like the Canva template library and content creation guides, making it easy for anyone to produce engaging content, even if you're not a natural writer or designer.

On the other hand, if you are just toying around with the idea of starting your business, you may have some important homework to do before the GROWTH Blueprint is right for you. If you're unsure, you can reach out using the chat box on the bottom of this page or by sending me a DM on Instagram @FreedbyTraining.
How will I know if these strategies are working? This program includes lessons on tracking and measuring success, ensuring you understand exactly how and why your efforts are paying off. I know you want tangible outcomes, so I'm providing the tools you need to see your return on investment clearly.

Is there a refund policy? Yes, I stand behind the transformative potential of the GROWTH Blueprint. I want you to feel confident and secure in your decision to join me. If within the first 7 days after purchase you decide the program isn’t the right fit for you, just reach out, and I'll ensure a hassle-free refund process.
Can we get real for a second?
I know where you are. Because I've been there.
You've poured your heart into your dog business, facing the rollercoaster of getting (and not getting) clients and the maze of social media with a brave face.
I wondered if my dream of a successful and balanced business was just that—a dream.
But here's the thing: it doesn't have to be. I discovered a path that’s not just about throwing money at ads or chasing the latest digital craze. It’s about strategic, no-fluff marketing that speaks directly to those who need us most. Imagine a world where your skill and passion attracts the right clients—effortlessly.
Because if you were really honest with yourself, this isn't about
growing a business.
It's about building the life you want with a business that supports it.
Where your work fuels your life, not the other way around.
I want to share with you the strategies that turned my business around. It's about making real connections, cutting through the noise, and standing out in the dog-eat-dog world of social media (pun totally intended!). Your thriving business and dream life are just on the other side of action.
Let’s do this, not just for the life you've always wanted, but also for the dogs out there whose lives will change because of you.
