Using her Masters Thesis research and current data on female pet-related consumers, Sarah Wilson provides you with a unique window into what motivates your female customer base. Find out which approaches resonate and which fall flat. Women are the primary pet caretakers and consumers; everyone in the dog care/product business needs this practical information.

• How men and women differ in their attachment to their pets
• A woman's definition of "social support" and "friendship"
• How those definitions impact the pet owning experience
• Why talking about alpha and dominance can be barking up the wrong tree
• The art of reframing information
• How to reach women - regardless of what pet-related service/product you are selling.

All dog professionals need strong client communication skills. We tend to study canine behavior in great depth, while spending little or no time learning the many effective methods to communicate with the human end of the lead. Sarah Wilson's Masters work with Lesley University focuses on understanding the human/animal bond and how to facilitate behavior change...in the people.

This session focuses on:

• Separation between personal and professional persona
• Becoming "solution-focused" rather than "problem-focused"
• How to reframe, redirect and resolve
• Questioning for sensory-based rather than subjective, information
• What makes some clients "easy" or "difficult"
• Making client resistance work for you
• Understanding your magic bullet: A.C.E. (acknowledge, compliment, educate)
