FAQ

The questions people ask before they buy.

Answered honestly, including the ones that aren't flattering. If yours isn't here, message us and ask.


The objections

What if I don't have enough time?

You don't have time because of the way the business is built, not in spite of it. Every hour of revenue is an hour of your time, so of course there's nothing left for marketing and sales.

The first things we fix are the ones that give you time back: the delivery model (one-to-few instead of one-to-one where it makes sense), the pre-call system that stops you doing five sales calls to close one, and the AI tools that do the admin you're currently doing at 9pm. Members typically find the time inside the first month, because that's what the first month is for.

What we can't help with is someone who won't make two hours a week for the calls and the work. If that's genuinely you right now, wait. We'll still be here.

What if I don't care about making more money? I just want to help dogs.

We hear this on most calls, and we used to say it ourselves. Then a mentor asked Jacob a question: "If Ranger needed a £10,000 operation tomorrow to save his life, does he live or does he die?"

Money is oxygen. Not the mission, the oxygen the mission breathes. With revenue you make easier decisions and less constrained ones. You can turn down the client who isn't a fit. You can take on the rescue for free. You can fulfil each client better, because you're not serving forty of them a week on pennies. You get more results, more testimonials, more proof, which brings you more of the dogs you actually want to help. We give all our YouTube revenue to charity and our bootcamp helps over 500 dogs a year. Neither happens in a business that's broke.

Trying to make more money isn't the devil. Turning yourself into a charity by trying to help everyone for nothing is how good trainers burn out and quit.

How much does it cost?

It's a 12-month mentorship and the investment is set out on the application call, once we've established what your business is doing and what goal we'd be guaranteeing. Payment plans are available, including financing for members in the US. We don't hide the number; we just don't quote it before we know whether it's the right move for you.

What we can say: most members see the mentorship pay for itself in the first stage, because the first stage is pricing and positioning, and most trainers are undercharging.

How long does it take to see results?

Pricing and positioning changes land inside weeks, because they're decisions, not projects. Several of the results on the results page happened in three months. Others took longer, particularly members who came in sceptical after a bad experience elsewhere. The mentorship is 12 months because building a business that runs without you is a 12-month job, not a 30-day challenge.

What if it doesn't work?

If we don't hit the revenue goals we set with you, we keep working with you for free until we do. Every penny stays where it is. We take the risk, not you, the same way you promise your dog owners an outcome.

The goals are agreed in writing at the start so there's no ambiguity about what "working" means.

Why not just hire a marketing agency?

Because an agency gets paid whether you grow or not. A retainer leaves your account on the 1st regardless of what came in, and they own the know-how, so the day you cancel you're back to zero. In the age of AI tools there's also no reason a landing page or an email sequence takes an agency three weeks. You can do it yourself, quicker, cheaper and often with less effort. We teach you how, and you keep everything. More on that here.

I've been burned by a course or mentorship before. Why is this different?

So has Jacob, to the tune of about $12,000 on a programme with a guarantee nobody could qualify for. That's why Vantage has no 3,000-hour curriculum and no guarantee with a trapdoor. It's one-to-one consulting on your actual business, plus the systems, run by a full team. Darren on the results page came to us after a previous mentorship returned him almost nothing; his record month is on that page.

Who it's for

Who is this for?

Established dog trainers doing £3k or more a month who can already get results with dogs and want the business to catch up. Sole operators and small teams. UK, US, Australia, Europe; the systems travel.

Who is this not for?

Trainers who aren't yet good at the craft. Learn to deliver results first; until then, money shouldn't be the priority. It's also not for people who don't want to create a bigger impact, who hold on to how they've always done things out of sentiment, or who believe word of mouth will take them the whole way. If that's you, we'll say so on the call and save us both a year.

I'm under £3k a month. Can I still apply?

You can apply and we'll be honest with you. Under £3k the bottleneck is usually the craft or the offer rather than the systems, and the mentorship isn't the best use of your money yet. Watch the free training, read the blog, and come back when you're there. Plenty of members did exactly that.

Do I have to be on camera or post every day?

No. There's no content calendar to fill, no daily posting, and nothing that depends on you becoming a different person online. Long-form content can be a lever if you want it to be; it isn't a requirement.

The practical stuff

What does the application involve?

Eight questions on a short form, about three minutes, and you pick your call slot at the end. The call is 45 minutes, no pitch deck. We look at where the business is, where you want it to be, and whether Vantage is the route. If it isn't, we tell you.

What happens on the calls?

Your numbers, your offer, your calendar, your sales calls. Real decisions about the next turn to take, then you go and execute. Plus expert clinics with the specialists on the team: creative, paid ads, email, operations.

Where are you based?

Yorkshire Canine Academy's home is a purpose-built training centre in Leeds, with sites in East Sussex, Perth and California. The mentorship runs online, with in-person weekends for members who want them.

Can I just message someone?

Yes. WhatsApp the team and a human will reply.
