Now let’s move onto dog trainer insurance and tell you how beneficial it can be.
Dog Trainer Insurance From PCI
Most dogs don’t like going to the vet’s office. Whether it’s shots or a physical examination, pups would rather be playing with their owners. Imagine the stress and worry if something ruff happened to one of your furry clients during a training class. Depending on the severity of the injury, you could be rushing your student to the vet’s office (a.k.a, their least favorite place).
While you may think that nothing like that would ever happen, don’t bet on it. During our time in the business, we have helped out plenty of insureds who have dealt with dog injuries. One client was running a training class and two doggos got in a fight. Personalities sometimes don’t mix. Feelings are hurt. It can be a bit of a mess.
That’s where coverage from us can help. Our policy includes vet bill reimbursement and is designed to respond to similar incidents mentioned above. With coverage, you don’t need to handle the financial hiccup on your own.
It’s can be seen as a professional gesture to offer to pay for the vet bill. In turn, this can help keep your client happy. You may even retain that client for future appointments. It’s a win-win scenario.
How APDT and Dog Trainer Insurance Can Benefit Your Business
APDT and dog trainer insurance can elevate your business in many ways.
One of the great things about joining an association, such as the APDT is that they provide members with continuing education. Customers may look at your association connection as a huge bonus for them. Many are looking to work with someone who is knowledgeable and can get results.
With insurance, your business stands out from competitors who run without coverage. Making it a positive for you! However, your area could have several dog trainers who are looking to gain more business. PCI understands that running a business against other competitors can be ruff. That’s why we offer an insurance badge. It can be used in your marketing efforts via social and your website.
By implementing APDT and dog trainer insurance to your business, it shows customers that you’ve taken the extra effort. When they are comparing your business to a competitor, your business boasts extra qualifications and could win them over.
