Why a Crucible?
A crucible is a small vessel used in chemistry to combine simple substances over high heat so that a more complex substance can be formed.
In The Dog Trainer's Crucible, you can combine all you know about dogs, training, and behavior in order to build a professional business that you can be proud of!After just one session, you’ll feel more in control of your business, your goals and your life. We will help you to combine your ideas with the opportunities that come your way.
