What it is

Video consultations where you watch the cat in its home, build a training plan and coach the owner through it. You can add short guides, video demos and follow-up messages between sessions.

Your first three steps

  1. Complete a cat behaviour or training course and practise by coaching a few friends or family for free
  2. Set up a booking page, a video call tool and a simple training plan template
  3. Share short training tips on social media and with local cat groups to attract your first clients
Who pays

Cat owners who live outside your area, are short on time, or prefer to learn at home with their cat.

How it makes money

Charge per video session, sell coaching packages with message support, or offer simple training guides as an add-on.
