About Us

Meet Lianne & Bret

Our team has over 56 years of experience at all levels of the pet industry. We have business experience in franchising, dog training, grooming, day-care, boarding retail pet food and supplies. Pet Biz Experts is built and managed BY pet professionals FOR Dog Trainers. With Pet Biz Experts, we want to help pet professionals achieve their business goals by providing them with the tools they need to succeed.

We ran a survey focusing on new dog owners searching for dog training services. We found most all of them had one thing in common…. These potential customers did not hear back from the dog training companies they’d reached out to.

We decided it’s time for that to change!

BRET GELLER

I’m Bret Geller, co-owner of Pet Biz Experts. I am a California native and have spent my life following my passion for dogs.  I started working with dogs when I got my first dog ‘Spiral’….who needed a job.  ‘Spiral’ was a Border Collie that had a lot of energy and that is how I found the sport of Flyball.    I played Flyball for eight years on Touch N Go and was a part of two National Championships and several world record breaking times.

In December of 2013, Lianne and I opened a dog training business in San Diego. Working with pet dogs and their owners came quickly to me and sales became one of my favorite aspects of our business.  In ten years of dog training sales consultations, I have sold over 3.5 million in dog training sales. I have trained dogs for NFL players, MLB players, US Team Olympic Athletes as well as TV/Movie Writers and Producers.  

Through the pandemic, I’ve learned that the dog training business is fairly recession proof.  I wish I had started training dogs professionally a lot sooner in my life as I have learned this business can be very rewarding and profitable. 

One of the reasons Lianne and I started Pet Biz Experts was because of all the time intensive labor we were exhausting, chasing down new customers, following up with existing customers keeping everything organized.  

Since implementing Pet Biz Experts software within our business, we had a 20% sales increase in our first year and we have much more free time for ourselves. 

With Pet Biz Experts, I want to help dog trainers achieve their business goals by providing them with the tools they need to succeed.

LIANNE SHINTON

My name is Lianne Shinton and together with my amazing partner, Bret Geller, we founded Pet Biz Experts. My goal is to help pet focused entrepreneurs become more visible to your potential customers, increase conversion, drive your businesses growth, and help find you more leisure time.

With over 28 years of experience at all levels of the pet industry, I have done it all. I have been obsessed with learning about canine behavior since I was a kid. By 19 years of age, I became a Certified Dog Trainer and opened my own Toronto based dog training business. My business quickly evolved into a one-stop-shop, encompassing dog training, grooming, retail (pet food and supplies) and boarding. By age 31, I’d sold this company and moved from Toronto to Las Vegas where I co-owned and assisted in taking a single location dog training company to a 75-plus location pet franchise. This is how I mastered the art of franchising.

In 2013, I transitioned from corporate back to coaching. Together, we opened a dog training business in San Diego and purchased our beautiful home and dog training facility in Fallbrook, California. These days, I put my hard-won skills into Pet Biz Experts to help and serve other pet related businesses. I am passionate about entrepreneurship and strive to help pet professionals with their business for growth and success.
