All right, Tulsa dog lovers, welcome back to the Make Your Dog Epic Tulsa Dog Training Podcast. And on today’s show, we’re talking about the ultimate, the ultimate, the ultimate, best, it’s the best ever. It’s the best Tulsa dog training deal ever. The best, the best dog training deal you’re ever going to find in Tulsa or maybe in the surrounding cities, surrounding states. James, we have no proof that other planets can even compete with this deal. Right!
I mean, think about that for a real quick question for you, and then we’ll move on to this. James, do you believe in extraterrestrial beings? I do not.
You don’t?
I don’t.
Okay, so that’s sort of a flat debate there. So you’re not the kind of guy who’s going, yeah, but are there better deals on other planets? I mean, that’s, so you’re not really, that’s not something you think about.
I’m not a Mars guy.
Oh, there’s somebody out there. We checked that box because they’re going, yeah, it’s a great deal on this planet, but
what about other planets?
Okay. There’s someone listening right now who’s like, the only way to save our species is to go to Mars. And we get to Mars, it’ll be better deals. That’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about real people on the planet that have real dogs. And JT, tell us about the hot, the unbelievable, the best Tulsa dog training deal ever. What do you offer here at MakeYourDogEpic.com. Oh yeah, so we’re offering that first lesson for 50
cents. Whoo! 50 cents, which is less than a dollar. If you think about it. I mean it’s less than two dollars, less than a dollar. But that’s what we’re doing is that first lesson is 50 cents and that way we can come out, we can meet your dog, we can tell you what it’ll take to get your dog to your goals because every dog’s different and everyone’s goals are different. After that we’re going to tell you more about us. That way you know more than just three random guys on a podcast talking about dogs. Then we’re going to talk to you about either private lessons, which is one-on-one training. It’s half dog training, half human training.
Or we’ve got boarding school, where you send a dog with us. No matter what, we’re going to give you a money-back guarantee. Let me make sure I understand the offer here. The first deal, you said the first lesson is 50 cents.
Yes, 50 cents.
Does that check out with you, James? Are you getting the deal?
Dude, I have two quarters in my truck.
Sick! Now, the second deal, the second benefit, is that you will beat any competitor’s price. Is that accurate?
Anyone’s.
Yep, absolutely. And if somebody books their dog training service with you, they’re entered in for a chance to win a trip to Hawaii.
Oh yeah.
Hawaii. And then you got the best price, you got the no-brainer offer to begin with. This is where I would get hung up on though. James, this is where I’m going to get hung up on. James, have you ever taken your computer to a computer repair store? Actually I have. You have. Well, the issue that I have is I feel like the relationship you could have with a dog
trainer could be a lot like that relationship. Or the relationship you have with a mechanic who’s nefarious. Let me give you an example. When I was in college, the guy that I took my car to, he discovered that my DJ business was doing well, although my car was not. I would drop off my car for basic maintenance. I’d drop it off. And he would charge you extra. And he would say, Clay, I’ve looked at it, I’ve analyzed it, I hate it. He’d call me, I’d hate to do it, but you’re gonna need to replace the and it’s basically like he would It was about he’s basically you need to replace the entire vehicle, but you get to see I have the same car
I mean it was always like yeah, you know your your shocks your their shot your brakes or shot Your shit the gears the transmission. It’s shot shots not safe shot belts not safe No, the you know and I’m good and he’d use words. I don’t even know what they were really. It’s like the engine converter, the catalytic converter, the spark plug. And I’m going, I don’t even know what this is a real part of my car, but okay. And he kept doing it. And the relationship would extend for like a week. And I just wanted to get my car back that day or the next day, but it would take a week.
Have you ever seen this kind of relationship, James?
I have. And you know what? Those are people that are nefarious. They’re just trying to just clean out your wallet. You’ve seen this with computer repair to people call and go clay
Is this computer used for work? Yeah, is it an important infrastructure? Oh, yeah, it’s important Okay, then when I ran the company DJ connection calm I would drop off my computer to repair place and the guy would say is this is this computer essential? But before I knew what he was doing I said, yeah, it’s essential. Is it very important? Oh, it’s very important How important is it that we retrieve the data? Oh, it’s very important and And then he hits you, you need a new mother board, you need a new father board. He would kind of go, he would do the whole, like he would look back, because he’s an actor.
He’s like, well, I’ll see what I can do. I’ll try to get in there and try to – now I happened to meet a guy who I met who was an employee who worked there, who I later ended up hiring. to the employee, that’s how he found out the game, because the employee of his applied to come work at djconnection.com. So the employee tells me, dude, you drop your computer off all the time, here’s the deal.
He’s telling you it’s taking like all day to repair, it’s gonna take two days, and you know what he does? Nothing. And then after he does nothing, he puts a thumb drive in there, it runs an antivirus, it cleans up whatever, and he gets it ready about an hour before you show up. And you know who does it? I do.
And you know what I get paid? Like 12 bucks an hour. You know what he’s charging you? 500 bucks. You know how much profit he’s making? All of it. You know where he got that software? Norton Antivirus.
You know what he’s doing? He’s charging you 500 bucks to retrieve the core data and to run a cleanup and to restore the hard drive. You know what he’s doing? He’s telling me, put the thumb drive in. You know how much I’m gonna pay you? 12 bucks an hour. You know how much I’m charging that guy?
$500. And he’s like, my job is to not call you and tell you that it’s updated. My job is to call you and to say, is this Mr. Clark? Yeah, we’re working on it. We’re really encountering a lot of difficulty right now. We’ll try to have it done by tomorrow. And he’s like, if I can get you two days, we could get you for another $500. He’s like, we usually get a guy to pay $700, $500.
And this is our game. I’m going no way. He’s like I’m telling you This guy’s making a killing off of you. I’m going no way you we’ve all seen this in some way Shaper for have we not we’ve seen this jackassery we have yeah order order call car salesman They’re not talk to the manager and the managers in their managers watching. You know Maury Povich reruns on a TV screen He’s watching ESPN on his phone And the managers like what do you need Carl and Carl’s like I got a sucker out there, and I’m trying to sell him a Tahoe. I told him it was $22,000.
It’s the lowest I can go. Can you go out there and do a thing? So the manager comes out there looking like he’s been beat up. You know, like he’s just got into a big argument. And he’s like, what’s going on, guys? He always comes out of the break. He comes out right away, though, looking like he’s excited.
What’s going on, guys? Like, he cares about you. What’s going on? Guys, how are you? Did you guys get a coffee? Did you guys get the vending machine?
I’ve got some cash on me.
Did you get the popcorn out there? Yeah, because you don’t have access to the vending machine without putting money in.
But he’s like, hey, you guys want a couple of items?
I’ll get that for you. And you’re like, oh, man, he’s investing $2 in my relationship. And then he’s like, well, guys, I don’t have the authority. I just wanted to know, what are you looking at? Are you looking to get the car tonight? Yeah, I’m kind of thinking about it. Well, if we can get the deal done tonight, I mean, I can try to call up to our regional
manager.
I mean, but guys, I can’t. I mean, we’re already at the bottom of the list. I mean, we’re already at the bottom of the list. I mean, we’re already at the bottom of the list. I mean, we’re already at the bottom price. Are you committed to this car? You’re telling the sales guy, you’re telling your sales guy’s boss.
He’s like, well, why don’t you guys have a coffee? Here’s five more dollars. He’s such a generous guy. Here’s five more dollars. He’s going to make a $2,000 commission on you in just a second. So here’s five more dollars. Let me go upstairs because he has to go upstairs because he can’t be in visual sight line of view.
So he goes upstairs. His boss is up there chain smoking, playing billiards. You know.
Yeah, it has the indoor putt-putt.
He’s got an indoor putt-putt. He goes, hey, here’s the deal. Boss, can we come down on that? Because the boss is, like I told you, I don’t care, just whatever. Mark it up to mark it down. Throw in the DVD player. Tell them, so the guy comes downstairs. Guys, I don’t know if your sales guy told you this, but on the invoice, the quote he
gave you, he did not include the upcharge for the DVD player, the console, so the kids can watch in the back. So we were actually going to have to pull that out. Were you wanting that? And I know this strategy because it happened to my wife. My wife’s like, yeah, I do want the TV screens. I hate to have to take them out. I mean, because then you wouldn’t have an audio player at all.
Because this isn’t factory. This is added after the factory. They don’t come from the factory like this. So do you want me to pull that out? And you’re like, no, I don’t want it to pull out. My wife calls me, honey, this guy, he says, do you want us to pull out the DVD player and the screens? And I’m like, we didn’t even want those.
And the guy says, well, unless you want me to pull it out, it’s going to cost another thousand. But I’ll throw it in for free if you go tonight.
And you’re like, oh, come on. Come on. It’s happened.
It’s happened. These are the things that happen. And so you get stuck in a relationship that’s impossible. It takes forever, and I just want to get my dog trained. I don’t want to get to know you. I don’t want to spend the weekend with you. I don’t want to be with you for two and a half months. I just want to pay you to teach White Fang, to teach Cujo, to teach Benji, to stop snacking on my couch, right?
Stop jumping on my kids, to stop barking at my neighbor, to stop defecating in my home, to stop running away.
To stop fertilizing the carpet indoors.
Right. So let me play the audio of what I don’t want the relationship to be like. I think this is the right clip. It could be a clip from the movie The Jerk, or it could be a relationship with a dog trainer gone awry. James, have you seen the movie The Jerk?
I have not.
Okay, so you might not know whether this is the right clip. This could be a nefarious dog trainer making a relationship awkward with a client, or this could be a scene from The Jerk. Let me hit play and we’ll see what we have here.
I know we’ve only known each other for four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. First day seemed like a week, and the second day seemed like five days, and the third day seemed like a week again, and the fourth day seemed like eight days, but the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day, but then you came back and later on the sixth day in the evening when we saw each other that started seeming like two days. So in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day, and that started seeming like four days.
So at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half.
I think that’s what a lot of dog relationships feel like. And you’re like, brother, just get my dog back to me. So let’s talk about the speed, because I equate speed with quality. How long does it take for you to fully train the dog, get it back to me? Yeah, so we fix 99% issues in one to three weeks, no matter if you’re doing one-on-one
lessons or doggy boarding school.
Emphasis on the one week thing. I was a dog trainer, and I don’t want to throw shade at dog trainers. I’m just going to speak vague here. We don’t know what state this dog trainer was in, but you get the idea. And this dog trainer was always about, it would take four weeks. And he’s texting me updates about my dog.
You know what I’m saying? Like, oh, it’s day two with your dog. Here’s a photo with your dog. Oh, it’s day three. Here’s your dog with me. Oh, James, how would you respond to that? Oh, it’s day five. Here’s you and the dog.
Here’s me and the dog. Day seven, and you’re getting like a daily text reminder that the dog’s with, I mean, a certain, how would you respond to that?
I just want to know, is the dog done being trained and can you drop it off at my house when it’s done?
And that’s the kind of feedback I would hear from friends and family too. They would say, this dog guy, this dog wizard, he’s obsessed with texting me updates and I don’t want the updates. I just want to know, can you, the time you’re spending texting me a photo of Cujo and White Fang, you know, dressed up in whatever your theme is. Could you take that time and train the dog? Can we get the dog back in a week?”
Right.
JT, I don’t know if you agree with that, but I think people just want to get the dog back. Yeah, so there’s always a couple that they want to hear from you every day, but most
people just want to get their dog back.
What percentage of people want to know every day, like a daily update, what percentage want to get the dog back?
Every day maybe 2% of people.
So 2% want to know a daily update and we can do that if you want that. No disrespect to you. If that’s what you want to do, if your dog is your best friend, I understand.
So you know I go to ongoing training all the time. All the time. So I learn from a lot of different trainers.
A lot of different trainers. I’ve seen some trainers who do that, who they’re taking updates all the time. They have multiple dogs at boot camps, so say they have 10 dogs, they’re literally spending more than half the day putting a vest on the dog, putting bandanas on the dog. Accoutrements on the dog.
Yes, getting the perfect picture. They’re sitting there with toys, getting the dog to look perfect, squeaking it to get the dog’s ears up.
And I’ve heard that some of these places might go a day or two without even training the dog. Yeah. Like the dog’s just hanging out in a kennel because they’re so busy taking photos and social media marketing the dog that they’re not actually training dogs. Yeah, well and that’s a lot but of the people who are those 2% that they want the updates they also want their dog back fast. Fast. Because they don’t want the dog to be away from their friends. So I know boarding schools that they take months
or four weeks or five weeks or whatever. With us, we fix 99% of issues in one to three weeks. Let me ask you this, how long does a typical dog live? Typical dog lives, I would say, anywhere between 12 and 15 years. Now, I’m not a dog training expert like you, but if you’re talking to a trainer and they say it’s going to take me a solid decade to train your dog, that’s probably true. That’s probably where you draw the line. Probably too long, yeah.
But also, in my mind, four weeks I’ll draw the line. I would say three weeks, that’s a line I just don’t want to… I don’t want my dog to be away. I don’t want to have a relationship that’s weird. I just want to get my dog back.
