Are You A Pet Professional Looking To Share Your Knowledge With The Industry You Love?

I know you’re asking yourself the same questions I started with.

  • Who would want to listen to me?

    I was told over and over again that I could not make a living in the professional pet industry as just an educator even if I was an open level competitor groomer. Which I was not. I had to get past myself and believe my experience was valuable and I had much to offer.

  • Where do I start?

    How do I even create a program? How do I organize it and create powerpoints and handouts?

Now, what if you could start your career teaching in the industry you love, while leaving the industry better than when you first started by creating programs for the next generation of groomers.

You have all this knowledge floating around in your brain you’d like to share, let me help you make your dream a reality by giving you the skills and guidance you need to succeed.

With One Program That Covers:

  • Mindset And Organization

    Learn how to instill confidence in yourself.  I will teach you how to organize and accomplish your tasks with templates and checklists.

    Materials that take into consideration all learning styles while enhancing your programs.

  • Professionalism

    Be prepared to teach at educational conferences as well as in your local area.

  • Approachability And Responsiveness When You Get Stuck

    You have me. I’m successful when you’re successful. I am here to help you move through the program, so that you can achieve success.

  • Networking With Students Navigating The Same Waters As You

    Join like-minded professionals in a private Facebook group who are on the same path as you.

Workshop Workshop contains four training modules, 1 one-on-one calls, workbooks to organize your journey, loads of checklists, and ME.

Who Am I?

I’m Mary Oquendo and I’ve been in the pet industry for over 20 years. I started out as bather, then started my own mobile grooming business. My foray into teaching began when Binngo, a 9 year old maltese with a known heart condition had a heart attack on my table and died. It was the most helpless I’ve felt in my life. But it prompted me to begin training on how to teach pet first aid to my fellow pet professionals.

a

From there it just snowballed. I started teaching everywhere. From professional pet educational conferences to local pet grooming shops. Next thing you knew, I was writing for Groomer To Groomer magazine, four  books, 2 podcasts, and coaching.

But then, I wanted more. I wanted to retire from the physical aspect of the pet industry. You know from the exhaustion and pain. I wanted to teach full time. So, I  launched Pawsitive Educational Training back in 2011, I was hell bent on succeeding. I mean how could I not. I was offering a service that was needed.

a

But I was told over and over again that I could not make a living teaching in the pet industry. And you know what, they were correct. That is, they were correct 12 years ago when I lacked most of the skills I needed to be successful. At one point I was beginning to believe they were right. And believe me I tried everything including zooming in Facebook groups, websites with private pages, cheap prices, the list goes on. Or so I thought tried everything.

a

Then, I started to drop money, lot’s of it, on  programs that were supposed to help me achieve my goals, that always seemed to fall short, but were always willing to add some additional coaching at a premium price to “help me understand” what was in their program. Then it was the tech programs $$, the copy programs $$, the branding programs $$. Need I go on.

a

I was beginning to believe what everyone was telling me that I couldn’t earn a living in the pet industry just teaching. I was wasting money and time on programs that were not helping me. But I plugged at it and even though it took me years, here I am ready to shortcut your path to making a living teaching.

Live workshops will be on Wednesdays at 3 PM Pacific Time:

a

January 4th

January 11th

a

January 18th

January 25th

Class size is small and filled with those who are ready to invest in themselves and plan their future. This is a Beta program meaning, it is a first run. The benefits are that the next time it’s offered, the price will increase from $997 to $1497 (recording only plus 1 one on one call) and then live at $1997. And you will have access to the next live offering at no charge. The cons is that there will probably be changes made to the program based on your experience.
