<span class="Article"><div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">Some people believe that they should wait until the pet is several months old before starting training. While every pet is different, it is never too early to teach an animal a few basic rules and continue to build its training as it gets older. There are some dog training, grooming, and boarding centers which can help new owners develop positive relationships with their dogs. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">In these classes the dog learns a variety of commands, and also benefits from socialization opportunities as he will interact with other dogs. Usually when a dog is about 10-15 weeks old the owner can sign it up for classes, as by that time the dog has received all of its preliminary vaccinations.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">Usually puppy classes are made up of about 5 - 10 dogs, so each dog and its owner will get sufficient attention from the trainer. Simpler commands will be taught first; such as sit and down. After the owners and dogs master these commands, additional skills will be introduced, such as asking the dog to stay in a sitting or down position for increasing periods of time. While the classes are the place where owners learn new skills along with their puppies, reinforcement at home and on daily walks can help both pet owner and dog retain the new information.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">The process of setting the dog up for success and developing a solid bond with the pet owner as leader, allows the dog to assume its preferred role of follower. Most dogs, even those who act out, want to please their owners. Rules and commands need to be reinforced in the same way every time, so the animal is able to learn to provide the proper response. They can be taught to do so by the trainer and can continue to learn with patience, repetition, and consistency from the owner.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">The owners not only have to train the dog to behave properly at home, but they need to teach it to behave correctly in public. A good dog trainer offers puppy classes and also private lessons to help owners build a solid training foundation. They also may provide dog grooming and boarding services at their training centers. While there are many dog trainers listed on the Internet and in the phone book, there are other good places to look for recommendations. Some of these are one's veterinarian, and also breed organizations that may be able to point people to trainers who understand characteristics of particular breeds.</span></div>

<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #000054; line-height: 14px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.4;">Having a pet can be very great but stressful sometimes. Pets like humans face some downsides like falling sick and being affected by illnesses and diseases. Research has proven that maintaining the <a href="http://saagii.com/" target="_new" title="Health Insurance">health</a> of a pet can be very cost effective sometimes even more than what you spend on medical bills yourself due to frequent visits that are needed to be made to the veterinary.<br /><br />Pet insurance is therefore important for every pet owner in order to take of the stress of paying high veterinary bills whenever there is an accident. Pet insurance can be compared to any other type of insurance because they mostly have the same concepts the only difference is about this type of insurance covering your pet. When you insure your pet, there is always a sense of comfort and re- assurance that you have because you know your pet is safe even if an unexpected accident happens. Preparing yourself ahead for any accidents that might arise in the future is important because you might have enough money today not to bother yourself about pet insurance but you might not have it tomorrow.<br /><br />Secondly you need to decide upon a policy carefully so that you get maximum coverage. Avoid purchasing an insurance policy that is more complex than required, as doing so will likely be a waste of your resources. For instance, if you carry your pet to the doctor only once in a year, opt for a suitable policy that serves your purpose in the best probable way.</span></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #000054; line-height: 14px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.4;"> </span></div>
<div align="justify" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #000054; line-height: 14px; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.4;">For most people insurance is a fairly uninteresting topic and not something that we want to put our mind to when we are experiencing the excitement of owning a new pet. Rather than make a big deal of it, just do a bit of research or consult from an insurance company or your professional insurance agent/broker. Better to do it now than suffer the consequences later.</span></span></div>

One thing I offered in my business was a coming home service. I would charge a small fee to run to the grocery store and pick up some milk, bread and any other fresh item for my client so they do not need to bother with that. I did that because I know how much I hate coming home and having to stop at the supermarket.</div> </li></ul><p style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> </p><ul style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> <li style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">Once you know what you want to offer, it is time to set up the business.</li></ul><p style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> </p><ul style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><li style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> First, you need to set up a business name before you can get a license or go any further. Your name should be catchy. You want your potential clients to look over all the other "common" and "cutesy" names and go straight to yours. The trick to being at the top of the list is to start your name with the letter "A". Having a name that ties you to the community works best, in my opinion. For example, if you live in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Westtown</span>, you can call your business, "A+ <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Westtown</span> Pet Care". Just make sure no one else took that name first. Try to get creative as well. There are tons of Pampered Pets and such. They have been played out enough. Move on to something else.</li> </ul><p style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> </p><ul style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> <li style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">Now that you have a name, you can get licensed. Here is a link to the SBA, to see if you need a business license in your state. Just find your state and click on it. Many will just need to register with the state and will not need a license, but it varies....<a href="http://www.sba.gov/hotlist/license.html"><font color="#473624" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">http://www.sba.gov/hotlist/license.html</font></a> . After you check with your state, try your local, township office. Sometimes, they want to know about your business as well and you may need approval. Just make sure all ground is covered so you don't run into any surprises. I actually went to a township meeting this month and they discussed another individual wanting to start a business selling cars on EBay. He said the cars would be in a garage and never seen by neighbors, but he still needed to get approval. This surprised me. I never thought about township approval.</li> </ul><p style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> </p><ul style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> <li style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">Once you are licensed, it is time to set up the paperwork part of your business. You will need a service contract for your clients to sign. You will need a report card to record what you did during visits. You will need a way to track medications you may need to administer, you will need instruction sheets on how to take care of the pets and the home. Those are the most important and "necessary" forms you will need. Sound overwhelming? Do you have the time and skill to develop these forms? Don't fret. Go to <a href="http://www.businessformsstore.com/"><font color="#716e6c" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">http://www.businessformsstore.com/</font></a> . All these forms are there for you as well as more you may need. The kick with these forms is that they come personalized. They will come with your business name and logo if you have one. They also have many <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">flyers</span> to choose from which will also have your business name and phone number on it. When you are ready to hire employees or independent contractors, you can get those forms there as well. When I developed my forms, it took me, literally, months of research and design and I am pretty creative. It was tough. That is why they are now offered to you all!</li> </ul><p style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0); ">Alright, now you have a business name, license and the paperwork. You are getting closer...</span></p> <ul style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><li style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">Next you need insurance. Insurance is a MUST. There are so many things you can run into and you should be protected. You may think you can get away with it, but, Murphy's Law, something will happen when you are not prepared. Insurance is pretty cheap, running less than $200/year. You can get insurance from your local carrier if offered or you can get from a specialist. Most pet sitters will go through organizations to get their insurance, like PSI or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">NAPPS</span>. I used Pet Sitters Associates, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">LLC</span>. It skipped over all the bureaucratic nonsense I didn't want. It is strictly insurance. They say it is a membership, but I never got hassled with anything, so I liked it. PSI and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">NAPPS</span> require you to be a member of their organization, which runs around $200/year. Then you have to pay for the insurance policy which runs around $200. Pet Sitters Associates, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">LLC</span> is just a flat rate of $164 which includes membership and insurance. PSI and others have an accreditation test to take and more. I never signed up for any of those, so can't really tell you much. You should definitely check it out ALL insurance carriers to see the benefits of each and decide on your own.</li> </ul><p style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">Here are the websites:</p><p style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> Pet Sitters Associates, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">LLC</span>: <a href="http://www.petsitllc.com/"><font color="#473624" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">http://www.petsitllc.com/</font></a></p> <p style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">PSI: <a href="http://www.petsit.com/"><font color="#473624" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">http://www.petsit.com/</font></a></p> <p style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">NAPPS</span>: <a href="http://www.petsitters.org/Insurance/insurance_index.htm"><font color="#473624" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">http://www.petsitters.org/Insurance/insurance_index.htm</font></a></p> <p style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Napps</span> and PSI use Insurers of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Carolinas</span>.

Now, bonding is not necessary if you are working alone. If you have employees, you would want it. Bonding is there to protect your company against employee theft. Some bonding companies, however, will include the owner as an employee and, therefore, you will be covered. Make sure you check on this. The way bonding works is if your client accuses you or an employee of theft, the police are involved. If you or an employee are convicted of the crime, the bond pays out and you then repay the bond. Some clients want you to be covered and people will get it as a marketing tool. It is up to you if you want to purchase it. Pet Sitters Associates, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">LLC</span> offers a special additional coverage which will cover theft and accidents. It is around $95/year. The special part of that is it is like bonding, only you don't have to pay it back and don't have to get convicted.

You can't put them in people's mailboxes without going through the post office...it is illegal. But, you can put them on people's doors and cars. The best places I have found are the pet food stores...not only <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">PetSmart</span> or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Petco</span> but local smaller stores. Pet Stores also work good. Post office bulletin boards are great and so are supermarkets. Basically, anywhere you go which has a bulletin board, put your <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">flyer</span> there. The best would be a Vet offices. If they offer boarding, you may want to get on their good side so they will refer their clients to you especially when they are booked.</li> <li style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">Another good advertising technique is the community newspaper.

Do you know what you want to charge? Keep it simple. I see people charging flat rates to all these extras. Don't confuse your potential clients and don't make it seem more difficult. This will turn them away. Be straight to the point. This is what I did... I charged $1o for a 15 minute visit, $15 for a 30 minute visit and $20 for an hour. Now, keep in mind this was 5 years ago and gas certainly wasn't even close to this expensive. I did this to make things easy. If a client just has a cat, you want a simple, cheap alternative for them. If they have 5 cats, 4 dogs and 2 rabbits, you know it will take some time for you to clean litter, cages, feed, water and then give them attention, so you know the $10 and even $15 rate doesn't apply. If you are going to service a larger area, you may want to do a mileage surcharge, but that is up to you. Even though gas prices are up, your really are not spending too much more per day. Maybe a dollar or too. Work it out. You will see. If you want to offer extra services as optional to try to make more money, that would work just fine. For example, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">pooper</span> scooper. You may want to charge $5 per day or per trip, it depends on how many and how big the dogs are. If you want to charge extra for watering their garden for them, you can do that. Have all you want to offer and rates written out and ready for their call.</li> </ul><p style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> </p><ul style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> <li style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">They will ask you what is included in the pet sit. Make sure you have a list of that also. For example, you may offer free mail and newspaper pick up, free light alteration, free trash to curb, etc. Be prepared to talk about your services. You should also tell them what you will be doing with the pet, which is what they do everyday to keep the pet in it's same routine.

Not all dog training is created equal, and is more than just telling your dog to stop behaving the way he is right now; it's one of the most important fundamentals of owning a pet. The important thing about dog training is to get started today because tomorrow the naughty behaviour will just continue.<br> <br>Do you know that the key to successful dog training is getting your new pet to understand you? Dog training is for every dog or puppy and is not breed specific, it's more a temperament and drive specific thing. It's the process of training your dog to display certain specific acceptable dog behavior in various circumstances.<br> <br>Basic dog training is available for most all breeds. Performing the correct dog training is something that will better your relationship with your dog. Dog training is definitely not rocket science and is easier than you would expect particularly if you can get help from a good dog training book or guide. Dog training is a must for ALL dogs large or small.<br> <br>The final major mistake we all make is thinking that the dog training is over. The main advantage of traditional dog training is the high reliability of the trained behaviors. Other advantages are that positive dog training is easy to understand and fun to carry out. The thing needed in training your dog is what most experts define as "positive reinforcement". This is a method of rewarding the dog or puppy when they do something "right" and leads to them wanting to do the right thing all the time.<br> <br>Dog and Puppy House Training Stops Them Piddling And Pooping in the Wrong Places.<br><br>Raising a Puppy and Basic Dog Training is best started with a puppy. House breaking a puppy is an integral part of dog training and will control this behaviour for their lifetime. Did you recently acquire a puppy that you want to train?

This stress could come out in chewing everything in sight.<br> <br>Fourth, is your dog bored? Does he get enough attention? Dogs like being around people so spend time with him. Be sure he gets plenty of time outside and exercise.<br><br>However, if he is just following his natural instincts and a part of a puppy's development to chew like puppies do there are things you can do.<br> <br>Puppy proof his environment as much as you can to prevent this behavior. Put leather items and shoes away. Also put dangerous items away like poisonous houseplants, household chemicals, electrical cords, etc that could cause harm to your puppy.<br> <br>It is important you give your puppy a toy specifically for chewing. Of course, give your puppy the right size of toy for his size, a variety of chewing toys and rotate them. Do not give him a chew toy that is similar to a household item.<br> <br>You can try commercial anti-chew sprays, a small amount of cayenne pepper mixed with water or a mixture of one part vinegar and six parts of water to items to shop chewing. (Test first for discoloration)<br><br>When he does chew on his toys be sure to reward him. Train your puppy early by saying "no" when you find him chewing on something he should not be and take the item away from him. Try saying "no' and spray him with a water bottle or a light tap on his nose.<br> <br>Another way that seems effective is crate training.<br><br>One final note.

Roll over! Jump! Teaching your dog tricks might not be the easiest thing in the world, but it's highly beneficial to you and your dog. Teaching your dog tricks can help strengthen your relationship with your beloved pet in many ways. Below are some great reasons why you should start teaching your dog tricks.<br> <br>1. Make everyone safe- While learning to teach your dog tricks, you learn many training techniques which can also be used to gain control over your dog. Teaching him basic tricks like sit and stay can also be used in life situations like crossing the street or entering a store.<br> <br>2. Give Your Dog Something to Do- It doesn't take long before your dog gets bored and decides to take on a new hobby of chewing anything in sight, including your brand new sofa. Teaching your dog tricks will keep him focused on the task at hand, and will entertain him for hours!<br> <br>3. Help Keep Your Dog's Mind Sharp- Training your dog will keep his mind active and responsive. As dogs get older they become less physically active, but learning tricks will keep his mind active and alert. <br><br>4. Help Create a Better Bond between You and Your Dog- Your dog will look up to you as being the pack leader, and will listen to you instead of trying to get your attention in destructive ways. Best of all, once your dog learns tricks you two become a team when training or performing.<br> <br>5. Show Off- You can show off your dog if you teach it some cool tricks, and your dog will get people's attention. Dogs love attention and they love being in the spotlight so they will like performing in front of your friends and family. Of course, you will also get the recognition of being a star trainer.<br> <br>6. Make Vet Check Ups Easier- Both the veterinarian and you hate it when your dog can't control itself during a check up. If you teach it to be calm during the check up, it will make both of your lives easier, and you won't be embarrassed that your dog is acting up.<br> <br>7. Gives Your Dog a Hobby- We all have hobbies we like to do such as watching TV or playing games, but dogs also need things to do. Training dog tricks is great to do on rainy days when you can't take him for a walk.<br> <br>If these reasons have inspired you to teach your dog tricks, then you've come to the right place. Dog Trick Academy and our community is devoted to help teach your dog tricks, we keep it fun and entertaining!</font></p> <p align="justify" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><font face="Verdana" size="3" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">Here are more link about training dogs.</font></p> <p align="justify" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><font face="Verdana" size="3" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 84); "><table class="sidelinks" cellspacing="0" align="Center" rules="all" border="0" style="line-height: 20px; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 868px; border-collapse: collapse; "> <tbody><tr style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><td style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "> <a id="RssFeed1_RssFeed1_ctl01_Hyperlink1" class="BannerTable" href="http://prairiedogdaycare.wordpress.com/2011/01/07/top-ten-reasons-to-train-your-dog/" target="_new" style="font-weight: bold; background-color: rgb(245, 245, 220); ">Top Ten Reasons to Train Your Dog « Prairie Dog Blog</a> <i></i><br> by Guest Blogger Renee Will.

It is necessary to understand this <br> fact before deciding what you need to do with your dog. Given below are some distinctions:<br><br>First of all, there is the "Behavior training - Dog behavior training involves teaching life skills, such as preventing aggression problems, and how to properly interact with others and the environment without undue stress.." This is a training in which a dog is taught to be a "good citizen." This includes house training, good behavior around people and other dogs, leash manners and other things that make your dog a much more pleasant companion to be with.<br> <br>Next is "Obedience training - Obedience training is one of the best things you can do for your dog or puppy and yourself. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem.," which is teaching your dog how to do be obedient. This can include traditional exercises such as heeling. The emphasis here is on prompt and accurate performance. While there can be many benefits to this training, this training is usually for the training's sake and not to improve the dog's behavior.<br> <br>Finally, there is the "Activity training - People who play with their dog, stay with their dog." which refers to training for specific activities like Herding, Hunting, Search and Rescue, Lure Coursing and a number of activities designed to showcase your dog's abilities, particularly in activities for which the dog has been bred to do. These days, such activities also include "sports" such as Frisbee, Flyball, Agility and so on.<br> <br>Of course there is a thin line between all of these distinctions. A certain amount of obedience training will help with behaviors. For example a dog that is heeling will not pull on the leash. Still you want to keep this in mind when selecting a training class so that it best matches your needs.<br> <br>For many dog owners, the behavior-oriented classes are the best way to learn how to understand your dog. For those of you who want to enjoy a sport or compete in an activity with your dog will need to move along to more complex training.<br> <br>You need to be aware of whether you need to correct your dog's behavior (where you will have to find out the underlying reason why your dog digs and not just put chicken wire over everything) or obedience training (to understand specific commands). <br> <br>Certainly, the two may be related: a dog that digs because it is bored may become less bored with obedience training and stop digging. It is important, however, to understand that the dog stopped digging because it was no longer bored than because it now knows how to heel. You will need to modify your approach, or select a trainer to help you, with behavior vs. training in mind.<br> <br>Another factor to consider is that there are many methods for teaching all of these!

The one thing that stops most folks from acheiving this goal, is money. They just don't have the financial stability to either borrow the money needed or are not sure they can pay it back. There is one business that anyone can start with no upfront money needed, all that is required is patience and kindness, this is the business of Pet Sitting.</font></p> <p align="justify" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><font face="Verdana" size="3" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">In the U.S. over 70% of all homes contain at least one pet, there are over 65 million dogs and 77 million cats, and in 2005 American's spent over $14 billion on their pets. All of these pets need care and treatment, and at many times throughout the year each pet has to be left unattended a large amount of the time. During these times, a pet's owner often needs the services of a 'Pet Sitter'.</font></p> <p align="justify" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><font face="Verdana" size="3" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">There are two ways you can operate your own pet sitting business, if you own your own residence, you can watch pets inside your home, having the pet owners drop off their pets at your residence. This puts you more at ease, and you have more time to devote directly to your home duties as well as the pet sitting business, since you don't have to spend time traveling to the pet owners residence. Just make sure you have proper areas sit up for the pets that will be arriving, they must not interact with your own pets, as this can cause fights, unwanted breeding and the spreading of fleas and diseases. Plus pets dropped off at your residence will be scared because they will be in unfamiliar surroundings.</font></p> <p align="justify" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><font face="Verdana" size="3" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">You may wish to stay at the owners residence and watch the pets while they are not home, like a babysitter. This has benefits and disadvantages as well. For one thing you will be traveling and will have to spend a great deal of time away from your own residence and money on gasoline. You may also break or damage something in the pet owners home, causing trouble for you. Or you may find yourself in a hostile environment, due to fighting between the pet's owners, or other household members. Staying in someone elses residence could also get you accused of stealing something, even though you didn't, but a babysitter faces these same obsticles also. The benefits of watching the pets in the owners home is you will have a lot less chance of exposing your own pets to diseases and unwanted breeding and fights, and the pets you are sitting will be calm and relaxed since they are being left in their familiar environment.</font></p> <p align="justify" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><font face="Verdana" size="3" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">Either method of pet sitting you choose has its advantages and disadvantage, so you must carefully choose which is better for you. Just make sure that whatever type of service you choose, that you think of the job as carefuly as a babysitter would. Think of the pet as a small child, because a lot of pet owners love their pets as if they are children.</font></p> <p align="justify" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><font face="Verdana" size="3" style="line-height: 1.4; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">Make sure you have some knowledge of the pets you will be sitting, for instance read and learn about them all you can, dogs and cats are pretty easy, birds are harder, but snakes and lizards or turtles may be totaly unique and could even pose a danger to you, if your not familiar with them.

A cat that is not properly trained will not understand what is acceptable and what is not, which is why cat training is so important to both the cat and his/her owner.<br /><br />It is much easier to instill good habits on a kitten as opposed to an older cat, which is something that every cat owner should take into consideration prior to selecting a new addition to their family. It is thus best to begin your cat training as early as possible.<br /><br />Well first, let us at some basic fundamentals when training your cat: <br /><br />1) The bonding process is especially important while you attempt cat training.<br /><br />2) It is important to remember that reprimands don't work well in cat training. This is a totally unacceptable method and instead of having a positive impact will have a negative impact.<br /><br />3) Cat training tries to encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior.<br /><br />Now, let's look at some of the problems you may face as a cat owner and how to resolve them.<br /><br />So is there any method to prevent or reduce scratching?<br /><br />One method would be to spray some lemon juice on certain targeted areas where your cat is about to scratch. Another method is to use repellants instead. However, using repellants may not be a good way as your cat may be sensitive to them. Of course the cat will never stop scratching but using caps is also a good method to prevent damage when your cat scratches something. Cat training for indoor cats may also involve the implementation of a scratching post, which will prevent them from ruining furniture or carpet with their nails. <br /><br />These are some of the house cat training methods to prevent your cat from scratching your favorite furniture or objects. <br /><br />Another typical problem that many cat owners face is training them how to use the litterbox. <br /><br />One method to train your cat will cover a period of several weeks during which the litterbox is elevated and moved until it is near the toilet. During this period, the litter can be suspended above the toilet using either a small bowl or box. At the end of this training period involving the toilet, the cat will be able to use the toilet by perching over the bowl.<br /><br />Being a cat owner is not a one day process, it takes time and patience to train your cat to your ideal expectations but remember not to rush things as it will have a detrimental effect instead.</span> <div><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2pxfont-family:Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2pxfont-family:Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="Apple-style-span" >Here are some more sites that tell you how to train your cat.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px" class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2pxfont-family:Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif;" class="Apple-style-span" ><span style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px" class="Apple-style-span"><table style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif" id="MainTable" class="MainFormTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"><tbody><tr style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif" valign="top"><td style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(0,0,84)" class="ContentFormTable" width="100%"><center><table style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(0,0,84)" id="SearchResultTable" class="ContentFormTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center"><tbody><tr style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif"><td style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif"><table style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; LINE-HEIGHT: 20px; WIDTH: 868px; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top; FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="sidelinks" border="0" rules="all" cellspacing="0" align="center"><tbody><tr style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif"><td style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(245,245,220); FONT-WEIGHT: bold" id="RssFeed1_RssFeed1_ctl01_Hyperlink1" class="BannerTable" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Train-a-Cat-to-Stop-Doing-Almost-Anything" target="_new"><span style="font-size:78%;">How to Train a Cat to Stop Doing Almost Anything - wikiHow</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> <i></i><br />wikiHow article about How to Train a Cat to Stop Doing Almost Anything. </span><p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif"></p></td></tr><tr style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif"><td style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif"><a style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(245,245,220); FONT-WEIGHT: bold" id="RssFeed1_RssFeed1_ctl02_Hyperlink1" class="BannerTable" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Train-a-Cat" target="_new"><span style="font-size:78%;">How to Train a Cat - wikiHow</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> <i></i><br />wikiHow article about How to Train a Cat. ...

It is necessary to understand this <br>fact before deciding what you need to do with your dog. Given below are some distinctions:<br> <br>First of all, there is the "Behavior training - Dog behavior training involves teaching life skills, such as preventing aggression problems, and how to properly interact with others and the environment without undue stress.." This is a training in which a dog is taught to be a "good citizen." This includes house training, good behavior around people and other dogs, leash manners and other things that make your dog a much more pleasant companion to be with.<br> <br>Next is "Obedience training - Obedience training is one of the best things you can do for your dog or puppy and yourself. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem.," which is teaching your dog how to do be obedient. This can include traditional exercises such as heeling. The emphasis here is on prompt and accurate performance. While there can be many benefits to this training, this training is usually for the training's sake and not to improve the dog's behavior.<br> <br>Finally, there is the "Activity training - People who play with their dog, stay with their dog." which refers to training for specific activities like Herding, Hunting, Search and Rescue, Lure Coursing and a number of activities designed to showcase your dog's abilities, particularly in activities for which the dog has been bred to do. These days, such activities also include "sports" such as Frisbee, Flyball, Agility and so on.<br> <br>Of course there is a thin line between all of these distinctions. A certain amount of obedience training will help with behaviors. For example a dog that is heeling will not pull on the leash. Still you want to keep this in mind when selecting a training class so that it best matches your needs.<br> <br>For many dog owners, the behavior-oriented classes are the best way to learn how to understand your dog. For those of you who want to enjoy a sport or compete in an activity with your dog will need to move along to more complex training.<br> <br>You need to be aware of whether you need to correct your dog's behavior (where you will have to find out the underlying reason why your dog digs and not just put chicken wire over everything) or obedience training (to understand specific commands). <br> <br>Certainly, the two may be related: a dog that digs because it is bored may become less bored with obedience training and stop digging. It is important, however, to understand that the dog stopped digging because it was no longer bored than because it now knows how to heel. You will need to modify your approach, or select a trainer to help you, with behavior vs. training in mind.<br> <br>Another factor to consider is that there are many methods for teaching all of these! The different guides available on our website will help you in your endeavor to train your best friend into a Super Dog!</font></div> <div align="justify"><font face="Verdana"></font> </div> <div align="justify"><font face="Verdana">Here are some more links about this topic</font> </div> <div align="justify"><br> <table style="WIDTH: 100%; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" class="sidelinks" border="0" rules="all" cellspacing="0" align="center"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a id="RssFeed1_RssFeed1_ctl01_Hyperlink1" class="BannerTable" href="http://www.ehow.com/how_64_train-dog.html" target="_new"><font size="2">How to Train a Dog | eHow.com</font></a><font size="2"> <i></i><br>How to Train a Dog.

Promoting a business can be very hard work, especially if you are new to the industry. Putting in the extra time and work however, can prove to be not only profitable but also help provide better care of the animals.<br /><br />The common places to post fliers or business cards are at local pet stores, grooming salons, and veterinary offices. The majority of these businesses will allow you to do this with little to no hassle as it has no impact on their business. <br /><br />Once you have hit the physical places of advertisement it is then on to the world of technology. It is quick and cheap to have a suitable website designed for your business, or you can take the free marketing route through social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and many others. These take little to no time to set up and can be profitable and easy to promote.<br /><br />You can pay kids or teenagers to hand out fliers on street corners, and word of mouth is always a great way to go starting with friends and family members. Once you have covered the primary pet owner visited locations, tackled the internet world, it never hurts to throw an advertisement in the local newspaper or once again the free option, Craigslist.<br /><br />As you can see this can be done on any level of budget. For the new pet sitting services there are a lot of cheaper options, and for the well established businesses it never hurts to go back to old tactics or invest money to revamp the old advertisement process.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576355039095462426.post-30923979272059130152009-10-10T17:25:00.000-07:002009-10-10T17:25:00.619-07:00How to Choose the Right Pet SitterWhen it comes to finding the right pet sitter for your pet there are a lot of things to take into account. You are trusting someone to treat your best friend and family member like they were the sitters own while you are away. You should take great care in selecting a sitter considering most of us pet owners consider our pets to be our children.<br /><br />You always want to ask for a pet sitters references, preferably previous clients or veterinary offices, to show that the have successfully cared for pets like yours and will speak for their qualifications. Every pet is different and has different needs. While someone may have done a great job with taking care of someone's boa constrictor or dachshund, can they handle the demands of your Great Dane? <br /><br />Another item you want to research is the pet sitters facilities. A visit to where your pet will be kept, if not an in home sitting, is almost always essential. Any pet sitting service can sound great on paper but be lacking in the reality of the quality of atmosphere in which your pet is being cared for. <br /><br />Finally, you want to make sure that you feel comfortable with the person that you are leaving your pet with. Once you feel comfortable with the person, it is highly recommended that you bring your pet along to make sure that your pet agrees with the individual as well. Just like we sometimes do not get along with people, our pets have the same nature to like or dislike other people. <br /><br />Once you have found a place that is qualified, has the proper facilities for your pet, and both you and your pet agree that the sitter is acceptable, then you have found the right person.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576355039095462426.post-1682148732633198792009-10-09T17:18:00.000-07:002009-10-09T17:18:00.843-07:00Additional Pet Sitting Services To ConsiderWhile pet sitting itself can prove to be a lucrative business, it never hurts to make your total package a little more appealing to pet owners. There are a lot of simple services that you can add to your offerings that only take a little extra time, little investment, and require no specialized equipment or a lot of extra space.<br /><br />Some for the common "extras" that many pet sitting services offer are:<br />1. Nail trimming<br />2. Baths<br />3. Dog Park Time ( primarily for in home pet sitting)<br />4. Training<br />5. Grooming<br /><br />These are just a few of many options that are easily added into the basic care of an animal while they are in your care. To lower the cost of baths, you can provide a medium grade shampoo and conditioner option to your clients, and give them the option to provide their own special shampoos.<br /><br />Most pet sitters are pet owners themselves and will have the essential supplies needed to nail trimming, grooming, and have experience in training.

A full service business is almost always more appealing than the ones that only offer the bare basics.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576355039095462426.post-37274963166680193782009-10-08T16:42:00.000-07:002009-10-08T16:42:00.532-07:00Why Choose Pet Sitting Over Boarding?There are many situations that arise in a persons life to where we are placed in positions to temporarily be unable to care for our pets. This can be due to businesses trips, vacations, demanding schedules, or other circumstances. When this happens, we must find another option for someone to care for our four-legged, scaled, or feathers family members.<br /><br />There are two primary options that pet owners have which is boarding a pet, or using pet sitting services. Both provide food, walks, and shelter to the animals. So why choose pet sitting?<br />Pet sitting allows the pet to not be contained withing a kennel and have more interaction with both other animals and people. It is one thing to be stuck in a kennel all day and only shown attention at dinner time and scheduled walks, and another to be receiving special attention and allowed a little freedom. It is bad enough that you are already gone, so why make the experience even more traumatic?<br /><br />An added bonus to a pet sitter is the overall cost is typically cheaper. Think about the original boarding price, add in the extra walks and maybe some interaction time, then do not even think about adding a bath, and you will see it is not only healthier and more beneficial to your pet but also your pocket book.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576355039095462426.post-75568988223376932982009-10-07T16:33:00.000-07:002009-10-07T16:33:00.831-07:00What is Pet Sitter International?Pet Sitters International is a a group in which has set standards, training, and affiliates that provides a type of credential for pet sitting services.
