Pet tricks are like Sudoku for dogs
By Bill Peña on 02/27/2006This article makes a great point that I don't see enough in the press — teaching your pet some tricks is a form of enrichment! It keeps their brains active, reduces behavior problems, and strengthens the relationships between pets and their owners. So play with your pet and teach them something, not just for your benefit, but for theirs.
How a clicker training business gets in the news
By Bill Peña on 02/23/2006This is a great example of how to get your training business in the news and spread the word on clicker training. Pet Emporium in Arkansas has a writeup in their local paper which introduces their training business by giving an introduction to clicker training for dogs (and later in the article, T-Touch). This generates interest in the training methods and in the business, as well as setting up the trainers there as cutting-edge experts in their area. So go to your local paper, your newsweeklies, whatever small outlets are in your area and let them know what makes your training business unique!
