We have launched the online dog training courses on our 101-dog-training-tips.com website. If you lean towards positive reinforcement but also use a training leash and slip collar the online course may appeal to you and your clients. For those who refer members to the online dog training course I will give a free link and listing on the 101-dog-training-tips.com website or if you have a business that would benefit more from a listing on one of our other sites I will give you a listing on the most appropriate site.

Soon I may be ending the one page dog food website experiment. It has proven interesting and I have increases traffic to the site but not substantially. The most interesting finding is that after the online promotion was done I now get traffic on obscure search phases. I do not think I will try to harness this long tail effect, but it dose show that obscure sites can generate some traffic through unusual phrases.

I will continue to play with rethinkdogfood.com and I have a new experiment I want to run on this site.

This last week I have been helping a dog shampoo company distribute samples to groomers. Two weeks ago I had some great all natural organic dog treat samples I distributing to dog owners I came across in my travels. If you have a dog business where sample distribution in the Orange County California, Long Beach, South Bay, Los Angeles area would be beneficial contact me and I may be able to help.

Careers in animal welfare
“An exciting option for those who want to work with animals is to seek employment with a charity that trains assistance dogs.” many dog jobs for charities start in kennel work. As one gains in experience they can advance into dog training jobs.

Free sample listing for dog boarding kennels.

http://ocdogboarding.com/

I am changing the free listing for the Phoenix Arizona dog boarding kennel. If you have a dog boarding kennel in the phoenix area let me know. I will also consider offering listings to kennels in other major markets. While I will give temporary listing for no charge the surest way to get on the website is to give us your financial support. The quality of the website offered will be in proportion to the financial support a patron imparts on this humble web word crafter.

I also list dog boarding kennels for sale. I am happy to report that inquiries into buying boarding kennels have risen recently. Let us hope the economy continues to improve and that the very bad times are now in the past.

I have started a one page website experiment. I bought the website name rethinkdogfood.com when I was going to sell dog food with a multi level marketing program. Needless to say after I found out how the program worked I did not get involved with a business structured in such a questionable fashion.

I have had the site mildly active for several months. There was a little copy on the site announcing it was awaiting future development. The first step was to add some relevant copy to the site and wait for Google to reindex the page. While I am waiting for Google I am also announcing the page to my online social network. I thought this might speed up the indexing process. So far I have not noticed any difference from websites that are not promoted through my social network. However Google did visit my site three days after I started promoting it across my social network but Microsoft’s bing did not.
