• Episode 423: The Pawpal Story, The All-in-One Pet Care Booking App that Solves your Business Scheduling Woes
    Oct 24 2025

    Still running your business with sticky notes, spreadsheets, and late-night messages?

    What if you could turn that chaos into a seamless system that saves you hours, grows your profits, and upsells clients automatically?

    And what happens when a dog daycare grows 200x in size—and creates the tech to make it all work?

    In this week's episode, I sit down with long-time Elite members Sarah and Pete Stevens of K9 Adventures and Pawpal UK to reveal how they went from a disorganised dog van full of cash and confusion… to running one of the UK's most advanced, organised, and profitable pet care facilities. They tell the story of how what started for them as a simple dog walking business evolved into a full-service daycare, boarding, grooming, and enrichment centre—powered by their own custom-built app.

    Sarah and Pete share how Pawpal, the all-in-one pet business platform, was born out of necessity, tested in their own facility, and is now helping daycares across the UK save time, automate admin, and unlock hidden profit through smart upsells. You'll hear the real story behind its creation, the systems that took them from stressed to scalable, and how automation can finally free you up to focus on what you actually enjoy—working with dogs.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • From Van Chaos to A Clear Vision – How a single "cash in the sun visor" moment sparked a complete business transformation.
    • Growth Without Overload – The systems and pricing mindset that helped K9 Adventures scale 200x without losing control.
    • Upsells That Sell Themselves – How their "McDonald's-style" add-ons generate 13.8% of revenue on autopilot.
    • Automation That Pays – Why the right app can save 40+ hours a month and make your admin team obsolete.
    • Tech Meets Trust – How branded apps build client confidence, streamline staff communication, and keep everything running smoothly.

    If your facility's growth feels like it's outpacing your systems, this is the episode you've been waiting for. The secret isn't more hustle—it's smarter structure.

  • Episode 422: Stop Going It Alone: Why Smart Dog Daycare Owners Get Help (and Stubborn Ones Stay Stuck)
    Oct 17 2025

    Are you still trying to fix your business problems alone because you're afraid of outside influence?

    What could change if you let a fresh pair of eyes look under the hood and point out what you're missing?

    And how much faster would you grow if you stopped winging it and started working with people who've already been where you want to go?

    In this week's episode, I share a field report from Elite member and Enrich U co-founder Tim Jackson, who spent 24 hours on site with fellow Elite members, and Enrich U scholars Sarah and Pete Stevens at K9 Adventures London. Tim reveals how their team is levelling up their daycare with new facilities, a killer scent space, and staff-led enrichment—but also what most daycares get wrong about enrichment (and how to fix it).

    Then I dive deeper into one of the most important business lessons I've learned—why getting outside help isn't a weakness, it's the ultimate growth shortcut. From my early days as a dog walker learning from mentors like Dave Davies, to my recent investment in a new high-level coaching programmes, I explain why every big leap in my career started the same way: by asking for help… and why YOURS should too.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    What Fresh Eyes Reveal – Why an outsider can spot opportunities and blind spots you'll never see alone.
    The Power of Enrichment in Action – How Pete and Sarah turned Enrich U ideas into real-world results (and calmer dogs).
    Staff Buy-In That Sticks – What Tim learned about training teams who want to do enrichment, not just tick boxes.
    Coaching Over Guessing – How paying for expert help saves years of trial and error.
    Growth Mindset vs. Ego – The simple shift that separates those who scale from those who stall.

    If you've been thinking, "I can figure this out on my own," this episode should your wake-up call...

  • Episode 421: Enrichment In Pet Care Isn't the Future… It's the Now: Big Takeaways from the 2025 Pet Care Enrichment Summit
    Oct 10 2025

    Are you still treating enrichment like an optional extra instead of the core of your daycare experience?

    What would change in your business if you stopped cramming more dogs into the yard — and started charging more for a deeper, more meaningful day?

    And how much easier would life be if your staff, clients, and dogs were all on board with the same enrichment-first philosophy?

    In this episode, I sit down with enrichment expert and long-time collaborator Tim Jackson to recap the biggest breakthroughs from the 2025 Pet Care Enrichment Summit.

    Together we share how the industry is shifting away from chaos and crowd control — and towards personalised canine curriculums that boost behaviour, profitability, and client loyalty.

    You'll hear how facilities across the globe are rethinking enrichment from the ground up, why staff engagement is the missing ingredient in most programmes, and how ideas like "scent spaces" and comfort-based enrichment are creating calmer, happier dogs (and much happier teams, not to mention the owners).

    Me and Tim also tackle the biggest objections — from staff resistance to space constraints — and explain why enrichment is the lever that makes every other part of your business easier to run.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • Beyond Snuffle Mats – Why most daycares are barely scratching the surface of what enrichment can be.
    • Lessons from the Zoos – How top facilities design activities with purpose, calmness, and natural behaviours in mind.
    • Staff Buy-In Made Simple – How the Employee Accelerator model turns enrichment sceptics into champions.
    • Innovation in Action – Real-world examples of scent walls, comfort zones, and sensory spaces transforming small facilities.
    • The Missing Link – Why you're not "just" providing exercise — you're offering fulfilment, structure, and behavioural balance.

    If enrichment still feels like "something extra," this episode will flip that script. It's not the future — it's the standard your clients and dogs already expect. And the sooner you embrace it, the sooner your daycare becomes the one dogs thrive in, not just survive.

  • Episode 420: Why Enrichment is the Golden Key: How Smart Daycares Are Charging More and Delivering Better
    Oct 3 2025

    Are you still treating enrichment like an optional extra instead of the foundation of your service?

    Do your clients really understand the experience you're selling—or are you still stuck flogging time blocks?

    And if enrichment is mandatory in zoos, why are so many daycares still offering the bare minimum?

    Great questions, which all get answered on this weeks show, where I also share a behind-the-scenes update from my busy final quarter of the year—planning events, wrapping up the final touches on my new book, and preparing for the 2025 Pet Care Enrichment Summit.

    You'll hear why enrichment is the golden key to happier dogs, more engaged staff, and premium-paying clients—and why the smartest operators are doubling down on it right now.

    I also bring in snippets from Adam Delderfield and zookeeper Callan Edwards, who reveal how behaviour-focused enrichment and fresh zoo-inspired ideas are transforming the way daycares think about play, training, and client education (all of which you'll hear more about at the Summit). Plus,

    I preview my brand-new presentation—Selling the Invisible—showing you how to communicate the transformation enrichment provides so clients line up to pay for it.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • Why Enrichment is the Future of Pet Care – And why owners are demanding more than a "tired dog at pickup."
    • The Behaviour-First Model – How zoo-based methods are raising the bar for enrichment worldwide.
    • Selling the Invisible – My new framework for packaging and pricing enrichment as an experience.
    • The Power of Personalisation – Why no two dogs should get the same enrichment plan.
    • The Golden Key – How enrichment unlocks profit, staff engagement, and client loyalty.

This summit will show you exactly how to add fresh ideas, raise your standards, and sell enrichment in a way that clients love and staff can deliver with confidence.

  • 418: Lessons Learned at the Dog Handler Academy Leadership Summit (Plus, 2025 Pet Care Enrichment Summit Sneak Peak…)
    Sep 19 2025

    What do experienced pet business owners actually talk about behind closed doors at leadership events?

    Is it worth travelling across the Atlantic just to sit in a conference room with people you could speak to on Zoom?

    And do you ever feel like you know what you need to do, but can never work out how to take action?

    In this episode, I give you an exclusive peek behind the scenes of the Dog Handler Academy Leadership Summit in Chicago—hosted by Eve Molzhon and attended by some of the most ambitious pet business owners in the country. I talk about the true value of being in the same room as industry-leaders, and why high-level face-to-face conversations beat exchanging messages in a Facebook group.

    You'll hear from Eve what seasoned business owners are still hungry to learn, how the event created space for deep connection (and serious sales breakthroughs), and why I think this style of focused, strategic gathering is the future of pet industry education. Plus, if you weren't in the room on this occasion you'll still get to hear about my talk 'The Magic Touch' which covered how you can engineer better customer experiences that set you apart from the competition without breaking the bank.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • Why Being in the Room Still Matters – Why real growth doesn't happen in Facebook groups or Zooms.

    • What Top Owners Are Really Thinking About – Spoiler: it's not Instagram or the latest dog chew fads.

    • Conferences That Don't Suck – How this summit created a genuine buzz and excitement while keeping things real.

    • The Power of 'The Magic Touch' – Why experience-first service is still the biggest lever in your biz, and how to pull it.

    • What's Coming at the 2025 Enrichment Summit – And why it'll be the most actionable event we've ever run.
