Online cat behaviour coach

Cat owners who live too far from a trainer, prefer a lower-cost option, or want quick advice without a home visit.

Paid video consultations, multi-week coaching packages, and possibly low-cost guides or short group classes once you know what clients ask most.

• Understanding cat behaviour
• Clear explaining over video and in writing
• Comfort with online booking and payment tools
• Patience and empathy with worried owners

• You cannot diagnose illness, so tell owners to see a vet when a problem might be medical
• Without seeing the cat in person, set clear limits on what you can help with, such as aggression that may need an in-person expert
• Check with your provincial authority on how you describe your qualifications and whether any rules apply
• Consider professional liability insurance for advice-based work, and confirm what your insurer covers
• Collect GST/HST once your revenue passes the small supplier threshold, and check how it applies to online sales
• Keep client videos and notes private and ask permission before sharing them
