“So You Think You Want To Be A Dog Trainer”

by Wayne Booth

I get several calls daily from people who want to get in to the dog training business.

Can you blame them? It’s a GREAT way to make a living. I also get calls from dog trainers who want to add to their existing streams of income by adding another training area like drug dogs or arson dogs.

At K9-University we offer a FREE monthly webinar titled “So You Think You Want To Be A Dog Trainer” where we discuss the dog training business and the different areas of training that you can do to make a living.

Feel free to join us at the next webinar. Take a look here and signup today because space is limited.

Until next time…….

Are you currently in the dog business?  It doesn’t matter if you train, walk, board or dog sit; if you have a website or a blog you need good meaningful content.

DogPLR.com does just that. It’s NOT a membership site but it does offer great articles when you need them. These are articles that you can use as your own. You can actually claim that you wrote them, because you have “Private Label Rights”. Use these articles on your site and watch the search engines start indexing your site more often.

You can also give them as a bonus to your clients or put several together and create a doggie ebook that you can give away or sell. Take a look today.

Let me know what you think……….

Make Dog Training Fun!

by Wayne Booth

So many people have great intentions when it comes to training their dog. After all, training a dog is not that hard. You are simply communicating to your best friend that you want him to sit, to stay, to come. Your dog even knows some words of English already. (Try saying “cheese” to a dog!) He’s smart. You’re smart. But then you start off trying to train your dog and by the middle of the second lesson your dog is bored and you’re frustrated. You give up. Why does this have to happen?

As a professional dog trainer I believe the single biggest reason people give up training their dog is because dog training isn’t fun for them. But it can be fun! You can make training the dog fun for both your client and their dog. If training is fun then they will stick with it and the dog will enjoy learning. That’s what it’s really all about. Your client and their dog will be having a good time together.

So, how can you make training fun?

Keep in mind that dogs learn everything from their trainer. That means that he picks up on the owners attitude about training. If the owner thinks it’s boring then he will, too. If the dog owner approaches training with a positive attitude and is cheerful about it, then your dog will be a lot happier about his lessons.

There’s an old saying that what you’re feeling goes right down the lead to your dog and that’s completely true. Your dog can pick up on everything you’re thinking and feeling. Dogs are extremely perceptive. So, if you want your dog to have fun with dog training, the change in attitude has to begin with you!

Keep training fun…………….
