We have 2 new training programs that are now available.  Arson Dog Coach and Bed Bug Dog Coach are being offered by Canine Behavior Specialists Network. These on-line programs are designed to teach you how to train and use Arson Dogs or Bed Bug Dogs.  These programs offer a monthly payment plan.

Both programs offer a Certificate of Competition for those students who successfully complete the programs. The programs will teach you to select, train and handle an arson or bed bug detection dog. Class size is limited to offer plenty of time with your instructor.

One of the things that many dog trainers don’t understand is that in order to get more clients you need to give them some good reasons to do business with you.  In other words why should the customer choose you?

So you are probably thinking “I’ll just tell them how great I am at training dogs”.  That really isn’t the answer that they want.  What your client wants to know is what you can do for them and their dog.

So Ms. Jones just told you that her little Yorkie is a year old and still is not house trained.  You need to tell her that after house training 100’s of dogs you are positive that your proven methods will be easy for her to understand and follow with success.

How about the dog that pulls the owner down the street and has actually damaged her shoulder?  I tell this lady that she will have her dog walking on a loose leash in just minutes.  That is what she wants to hear !  Of course I have the proven techniques to make it happen

So again what is in it for the dog owner?  I offer FREE one hour monthly group training in the park for my clients.  That is like getting 12 extra lessons a year for free.  They love it.

Try some of these techniques and tell me what you think in the COMMENTS section below.

Until next time …..

1. Think of ways to get your site or business on the
the news. You could sponsor a fundraiser, offer an
A.K.C. CGC event, hold a dog walk event, etc.

2. Hold a contest on your web site. It could be ugliest
dog, prettiest dog biggest dog, etc. This will
multiply your visitors to your website.

3. Create a blog and write an article regularly.  This
can put you at the top of the search engines.  Not a writer?
Check out www.DogPLR.com for some great articles
that you can use as your own.

4. Carry business cards with you wherever you go.
Have your web address printed on them. You can
hand them out to anyone you meet.

5. Contact national radio stations to ask them if they
are looking for guest speakers. Tell them your area
of expertise; maybe they’ll book you for a show.

6. Join clubs related to business. You could trade
leads with other businesses. Learn new ways to run
your business and sell your products.

7. Think of a domain name for your web site that’s
easy to remember. If you can’t find a good one left,
use your actual birth name. Use this name when
you need an easy name that people can remember
easily.

8. Position your web site at the top of pay-per-click
search engines. You will only pay your set amount
for each clickthrough you get to your web site.

9. Allow your visitors or customers to increase your
traffic or sales. Ask them how you can improve your
business or website.

10. Team-up with other e-zines or blogs that have
the same target audience. Combine subscriber bases
and then publish one e-zine together.

If you’ve noticed the news lately then you probably know that bed bugs are everywhere.  There are stories about bed bugs in hotels, in hospitals, and in people’s homes, and that’s just for a start.  The problem is literally spreading.  Bed bugs can live anywhere there is a warm host and places for them to hide.  What’s more, it’s hard to find them and hard to get rid of them.  That means one thing:  bed bug dogs are big business.

Right now bed bug dogs are big in the United States.  That’s where www.BedBugDogs.com can help you.  If you are interested in buying a trained bed bug detection dog and becoming a bed bug dog handler yourself, BedBugDogs.com has the dogs you need and provides the training so you can go to work with your new canine partner.

The dogs at BedBugDogs.com and Southern Star Ranch K9 Training Center are already trained before you arrive.  They are carefully chosen for their temperament and drive.  These dogs love to work for long periods and can find bed bugs wherever they may be hiding.  The dogs used most often for bed bug detection include:  Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Border Collies, and Jack Russell Terriers.  According to BedBugDogs.com, they look at 100-125 dogs to find just one dog that has what it takes to be a bed bug dog.

The cost of a bed bug dog includes a week of training to become the dog’s handler.  During the week of training you will also be bonding with your new canine partner.  Following the course the handler must also pass a written exam and earn their certification before going to work with their dog.

Every company that buys a bed bug dog from Southern Star Ranch K9 Training Center is required to attend the bed bug dog handler class.  The course teaches the handler the temperament requirements of a dog; the basic principles of dog training; scent and the effects of temperature, humidity, and air currents; training drills; building searches; and how to provide proper health care for the dog. The course is a one week program.

A class for people interested in becoming a bed bug dog trainer is also available at www.BedBugDogs.com or you can also find an online training program at K9-University.com.  You will learn how to take a dog that is untrained and teach it everything it needs to know to become a bed bug detection dog.  Each course is a six week program and it can be tailored to meet each person’s individual needs.
