The Talking Dog Case Study
The Talking Dog is an online course that teaches dog owners how to train their dogs to communicate using talking buttons. It's led by Kiran, co-founder of Talking Dog Training Limited, alongside Kenny the Bichon Frisé. The course has been featured on BBC, Channel 4, Yahoo!, and the American Kennel Club, and it offers an 8-week, video-based curriculum with printable guides and lifetime access.
But that recognition did not translate into sales. The founders had a strong product and real media coverage, yet their course store was not converting visitors into paying students. They needed more than a nice-looking page. They needed real ecommerce consulting, a team that could turn attention into revenue. That is when they came to E-Com Snaps.
The Talking Dog course was not generating any real revenue. The founders had a proven method, national media coverage, and happy students, but none of it was turning into paying customers. They came to E-Com Snaps with one simple goal: get the course actually selling. The course was a strong product with almost no sales system behind it.
We started with full ecommerce consulting to understand exactly where visitors were dropping off. Next came a done-for-you store setup and refresh, sharpening the offer and simplifying the path to enrollment.

Once our team looked under the hood of the store, the picture became clear. The course was a strong product with almost no sales system behind it.
The course page wasn't optimized for search, so people looking for dog training courses rarely found it. Listing copy didn't reflect what buyers were actually searching for, so it undersold the course.
There was no ecommerce growth strategy behind the media features, so the BBC and Channel 4 spotlight never turned into steady sales. Reviews and testimonials from real students weren't being used anywhere to build trust with new visitors. The founders were focused on filming lessons and training dogs, leaving no time for marketing or store optimization.

Ecommerce Consulting
We started with full ecommerce consulting to understand exactly where visitors were dropping off and why traffic wasn't converting. We mapped out the exact bottlenecks preventing the course from generating real revenue.
Done-For-You Store Setup
We executed a done-for-you store setup and refresh, cleaning up the course page, sharpening the offer, and simplifying the path to enrollment so visitors could easily become paying students.
SEO & Listing Optimization
We optimized the listing copy and page SEO around the exact terms dog owners were already searching for, so the course could actually be found organically on Google.
Ongoing Growth Strategy
We built out an ongoing growth strategy, so traffic kept growing month over month instead of depending only on media spikes. Revenue became steady and predictable.
Brand Protection & Trust
Finally, we put brand protection to work, bringing the strong testimonials from real students front and center to build instant trust with new visitors and actively drive enrollments.
