      "title": "10 Useful Clues To Understand Your Dog Better",
      "body": "<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2647\" src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/understand-your-dogs-behavior-body-language-1-638-Copy-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"how to understand your dog\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></a>\n\nHave you ever asked yourself, \"What is my dog trying to tell me?\" Dogs do know how to communicate and they do it well. It's just that they speak differently to us, mainly using body language.\n\nUnderstanding the body language of your dog is essential to adapt to them and thus form a relationship of trust between the two of you. Plus that will help you better understand the needs of your four-legged friend. By the end of this post you will know what your pet is trying to tell you in different situations. Knowing this will help you support and guide them better. Maybe you can share this video with a dog lover you know to help them also.\n\nThe key areas to which you need to pay attention are their ears, tail, eyes, snout and how they are behaving. These areas will help you assess their mood and what they are trying to say. Here are some different moods that your dog may be in to find out how they feels look for the indicated signs\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>Number 1 - Relaxed and Approachable</h2>\n&nbsp;\n\nWhen your dog is relaxed and willing to engage with you they usually show the following signs:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Tail down and relaxed</li>\n \t<li>Ears up but not forward</li>\n \t<li>Head high</li>\n \t<li>Mouth slightly open and with the tongue pulled out</li>\n \t<li>Loose posture without tension</li>\n \t<li>They stand and walk confidently with their body flexible and upright</li>\n</ul>\nIn this state your dog is saying that they are relaxed and do not feel threatened by the environment around them. Also they have no problems. This is the best time to train and enjoy time with them as they feel confident in the environment they are in and those they are with.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><h1>Click HERE For a FREE Training Course</h1></strong></a></h1></a>\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>Number 2 - Playful</h2>\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2656\" src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/how-to-understand-your-dog-2-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"how to understand your dog\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" />\n\nI hope you have a lot of energy when you see your dog behaving this way because they are indicating that they want to play.\n<ul>\n \t<li>Tail up and wagging</li>\n \t<li>Ears up</li>\n \t<li>Dilated pupils</li>\n \t<li>Open mouth and tongue out</li>\n \t<li>Body inclined forward with folded front legs</li>\n \t<li>Jumping from side to side</li>\n \t<li>Staying still for a moment before jumping again</li>\n</ul>\nHere we have the basic invitation of a dog asking to play. This behavior can be accompanied by excited barking or running with energy. Depending on the breed, the personality of your dog and how rested they are they may or may not openly invite you to play. If you have some free time and energy to burn go looking for that toy that makes your pet jump for joy and initiate playtime.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>Number 3 - Alert</h2>\n&nbsp;\n\nObserving the following characteristics be aware as your dog is attentive to something in their environment.\n<ul>\n \t<li>Tail in horizontal position and moving from one side to another</li>\n \t<li>Ears up put forward listening for sounds</li>\n \t<li>Eyes wide open</li>\n \t<li>Snout and forehead straight</li>\n \t<li>Closed mouth with tongue inside</li>\n \t<li>One paw slightly in front of the other</li>\n \t<li>They stay still so as not to produce noises that prevent them from hearing more clearly</li>\n</ul>\nHere your dog is telling you that they have detected something of interest or something unknown. They still do not know if what they have detected represents a danger or not. But with these body signals they are informing you that there is a possible threat. And that they must be alert in case they have to act. If you know what it is that has them in this state and you know that it doesn't represent danger there is nothing left but to enjoy your pets over-dramatic response. But if you don't know what's got them in this state it's best to detect what it is in case it's something that may cause your pet any stress or harm.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><h1>Click HERE For a FREE Training Course</h1></strong></a></h1></a>\n<h2>Number 4 - Dominant and Aggressive</h2>\n&nbsp;\n\nIf you observe the following characteristics in a dog you must be careful and act with caution. That is because they are telling you that they feel threatened and may act aggressively at any time. These are the signs to look for:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Tail lifted bristling rigid and vibrating from side to side</li>\n \t<li>Bristly hair</li>\n \t<li>Ears forward slightly extended towards a v-shape</li>\n \t<li>Wrinkled forehead</li>\n \t<li>Retracted lips teeth and gums visible</li>\n \t<li>Rigid posture with the body inclined slightly forward</li>\n \t<li>They may sit still or move slowly looking to position himself better in case of confrontation.</li>\n</ul>\nYour dog is telling you that they feel distrustful. They are poised to threaten any possible danger and could act aggressively if challenged by something or someone. If the cause of this behavior is known, such as encountering another dog, it is best to remove them. This should be done preferably with a lead from the object that is disturbing them. At this time we recommend you leave your dog alone in a quiet place until it calms down.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>Number 5 - Fearful and Aggressive</h2>\n<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2657\" src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/how-to-understand-your-dog-300x272.jpg\" alt=\"understand your dog\" width=\"300\" height=\"272\" /></a>\n\nIf you observe the following characteristics in your dog...\n<ul>\n \t<li>Their tail between their legs</li>\n \t<li>Crouched body</li>\n \t<li>Bristly hair</li>\n \t<li>Ears turned backward</li>\n \t<li>Wrinkled nose</li>\n \t<li>Dilated pupils</li>\n \t<li>Curved snout and the</li>\n \t<li>Corners of the mouth stretched back</li>\n \t<li>Teeth slightly visible</li>\n \t<li>They stand still in that position ready to attack if necessary</li>\n</ul>\n....then they are telling you that they are scared but they are not submissive and may attack if they are challenged. A dog usually gives these signals when they come face-to-face with a person or animal that is making them feel threatened. They think that they may have to attack or defend themselves. That is why they take a stand that allows them to get out of the situation quickly in the form of an attack. They may also bark as a threat as if to say do not come near me.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><h1>Click HERE For a FREE Training Course</h1></strong></a></h1></a>\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>Number 6 - Stressed Out</h2>\n&nbsp;\n\nNot just people get stressed out. Our pets can also suffer from anxiety. Look for the following signs to see if your dog feels this way:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Low tail along with their body</li>\n \t<li>Ears backwards</li>\n \t<li>Dilated pupils with sad look</li>\n \t<li>Rapid breathing</li>\n \t<li>Mouth corners pulled backwards</li>\n \t<li>Moves clumsily and avoids confrontation</li>\n</ul>\nYour dog may be either stressed and embarrassed or irritated. If they are embarrassed maybe they feel ashamed of something they think they did wrong. Possibly after receiving the blame for something that they think they deserve or perhaps they feels irritated or upset. Dogs also have bad days. Maybe they were punished and they do not understand why. Or there may be something that bothers them like an irritating noise.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>Number 7 - Fearful and Worried</h2>\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2658\" src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/understand-your-dog-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"how to understand your dog\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" />\n\nTo find out if your dog is fearful see if they show these signs:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Tail between their legs</li>\n \t<li>Crouched body</li>\n \t<li>Ears back</li>\n \t<li>Scared look</li>\n \t<li>Little to no eye contact</li>\n \t<li>Raising paw and moving it to get your attention</li>\n</ul>\nYour dog is trying to get your attention with these signals because they want your help to solve a perceived problem. When you observe them in this state try to see if they are pointing something out. Like a wound or the place of something they find threatening. Follow them and observe them carefully while testing possible solutions such as hiding objects that they may find unnerving. There are insecure dogs that may show this state constantly. For them it is best to help them gain confidence little by little making them feel safe. But if you know that your dog is not usually in this state. And they have been like this without an apparent cause for a while. Take them to the vet to make sure that there isn't anything more to it.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>Number 8 - Extreme Fear and Complete Submission</h2>\n&nbsp;\n\nPay attention to these traits because they indicate your dog is having a really bad time.\n<ul>\n \t<li>Laying upside down</li>\n \t<li>Tail touching their belly</li>\n \t<li>Ears back</li>\n \t<li>Head tilted on the ground</li>\n \t<li>Eyes slightly closed</li>\n \t<li>Mouth closed expels drops or squirts of urine</li>\n</ul>\nThey are indicating their total submission here. They are trying to say that they surrender before a leader of greater rank than them. Or at the threat they feel in order to avoid a physical confrontation. When your dog shows submission they tend to sit or lie on the ground taking a quiet position near you. They may avoid looking into your eyes possibly embarrassed or avoiding any confrontation.\n\nAlso if they feel very insecure they may start to make small shrill yelps like a kind of crying. If you see them in this pitiful situation first make sure nothing in your demeanor could be seen as threatening. Drop objects that you may have in your hands and kneel calmly beside them. Speak to them softly and with a reassuring tone until they shows signs of calming down. If they stay in this state of terror for an extended period of time seek professional help.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><h1>Click HERE For a FREE Training Course</h1></strong></a></h1></a>\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>Number 9 - Sick</h2>\n&nbsp;\n\nThe first step to know if your dog is sick is to observe if they show any of these signs:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Tail down and hidden</li>\n \t<li>Look lost and eyes without shine</li>\n \t<li>Dull and rough hair</li>\n \t<li>Laying down most of the day</li>\n \t<li>Apathetic</li>\n \t<li>Dry nose and clogged eye corners</li>\n \t<li>Lack of appetite</li>\n</ul>\nA dog that trembles could be scared or shy but it can also indicate some kind of illness. If you know the character of your dog and you see that there is no reason for them to be scared it is likely that they feels sick. Find out what they have eaten in the last few hours as they may have an upset stomach. Ask other people in your family if they have seen them do anything strange.\n\nTry to collect as much information as possible as it will be very useful to the veterinarian if you need to visit one. Look for any wounds and with great delicacy touch different parts of their body to see if they show any pain in a particular area. If there is no explanation for their condition and there is no sign of recovery take them urgently to the vet. Come prepared with a list of things your dog has been doing and eating in the lead up to their symptoms presenting themselves.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2>Number 10 - Feels Lonely</h2>\n&nbsp;\n\nIf you see that your dog:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Puts their head between your knees or under your hand</li>\n \t<li>Touches you with their nose</li>\n \t<li>Lets out little whimpers looking for you to hear them</li>\n \t<li>Looks at you trying to maintain eye contact</li>\n</ul>\nThey are looking for attention, informing you that they need you. If they touch your hands with their nose they want you to pet them and spend more time with them because they feel a little lonely and require your company. A curious situation can arise when your dog brings you a toy of theirs, you throw it for them to play with but they ignore it and stay with you. In this case what your dog is trying to tell you it's not that they want to play but they want you to give them the same attention you do when you play together. Bringing you a toy is their way of telling you \"hey I feel lonely and bored treat me like when we play with this\".\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><h1>Click HERE For a FREE Training Course</h1></strong></a></h1></a>\n\n&nbsp;\n\nThese have been some of the most common behaviors of our dogs and as you can see that to understand your dog is very helpful as it allows us to know how to make them feel better.

      "body": "<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\"><img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Easy-Homemade-Dog-Treats-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"easy homemade dog treats\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2625\" /></a>\n\n\n<h1><center><strong>Simple Homemade Pumpkin Dog Treats</h1></strong></center>\n\n\n\nToday we are doing a two ingredient pumpkin Dog treat. We're going to show you guys how to make healthy dog treats and dog food. If you've been following us you know that this is something that we are completely dedicated to. We are so excited to share everything with you.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h3><strong>Ingredients</strong></h3>\n\n<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\"><img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Homemade-Dog-Treats-300x285.jpg\" alt=\"homemade dog treats\" width=\"300\" height=\"285\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2627\" /></a>The ingredients that you're going to need for these treats are 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 3/4 cup of pumpkin puree. Also optionally you can add some cinnamon and some flax/chia seeds. Both the cinnamon and the flax seed are optional but they're super healthy for dogs. That's why we like to put them in our recipes. Maybe you could alternate between adding them and not adding them to change up the treats.\n\n\nWe use a bone shaped cookie cutter to make our dog treats but you can use any shape that you want. Also if you add the cinnamon and the flax seed you might need to add a little water just to make it more of a dough consistency. If you do we use bottled water. Remember the cinnamon and the flax/chia are optional although they are perfect with any type of dog recipe. The reason why is flax seeds and chia seeds are filled with omega-3s. Omega-3s help with dog's joints and it helps with their coat and is so healthy for them. Ground cinnamon is also optional although we think that it's a great thing to use. It is completely safe and non-toxic to dogs. The pumpkin puree is good for their digestive tract. We always use whole wheat flour over white flour when we're cooking for our dogs.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h3><strong>Tools</strong></h3>\n\nThe tools you're going to need to make this recipe are a big mixing bowl, a cutting board so you can roll out your dough and a rolling pin. Also a fork so when you cut them out with your cookie cutter you can put little indents on the tops. Just to make them look more \"authentic\".\n\n<center><h2><strong><a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here For A FREE Online Seminar Plus <br>A FREE Dog Diet and Nutrition Mini Course!</a></strong></h2></center>\n\n&nbsp;\n<h3><strong>Getting Started</strong></h3>\n\nFirst you start with the flour. Once you've added your two cups of flour to your mixing bowl then you can add your 3/4 cup of pumpkin. Next you can add the flax/chia packet and you are going to just sprinkle it in. Then you can add some ground cinnamon and just eyeball the amount. (probably about a 1/8 teaspoon) You can now mix your dough by hand or you can use a spatula whichever you prefer.\n\nSo after you mix all the ingredients just dig in to the bowl with your hands and just form the dough into a nice ball. If your dough is not forming into a dough consistency then that's where you can add your water. You would add a little bit at a time so that you do not add too much.  Once again we use spring bottled water since that's what we drink. And we know that it's safe for dogs also there's no chemicals in it so that's why we prefer to use bottled water.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\"><img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/DIY-Dog-Treat-300x133.jpg\" alt=\"homemade dog treats\" width=\"300\" height=\"133\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2629\" /></a>When you know your dough is the perfect consistency you just want to lay down some of your flour on a cutting board and then you're ready to roll out your dough with a rolling pin. When ruling out your dough you just want to leave it a little bit thick because it will not rise when it gets in the oven. It's going to pretty much stay as thick as you make it when rolling it out. Once your dough is rolled out and at the perfect thickness the fun part starts. Now you can start cutting out your cookies. The last step is to just poke the indents in the tops.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h3><strong>Time To Bake</strong></h3>\n\nPreheat your oven to 350 degrees and you're going to leave these on an non greased cookie sheet. Once the oven is at 350 degrees you are ready to put them in the oven. You are going to put them in for 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until you notice that they're getting hard. You should make sure that you keep a check on the treats while they are cooking to make sure that they do not burn. Since every oven cooks a little differently they may need less or more time to be cooked properly.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h3><strong>Cool Down</strong></h3>\n\nFinally our treats can come out of the oven and we let them cool down. When they are nice and hard and cooled down they are ready to serve to your little (or maybe not so little) friend. The most important thing is to make sure that our best friends actually like them.\n\n&nbsp;\n<center><h2><strong><a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here For A FREE Online Seminar Plus <br>A FREE Dog Diet and Nutrition Mini Course!</a></strong></h2></center>\n&nbsp;\n<h3><strong>Also Great For Gifts</strong></h3>\n\nAlso here are three simple ways that you can package up the dog treats so you can give them as presents for dog lovers. You should be able to get the supplies for gift-giving in a dollar store. Also try the bargain section of a retail store like Walmart or Kmart etc. So it's very inexpensive. So the first thing are cute little bags. They have all different designs and they have a pull string on them. You can just open them up and fill them with your treats close them up. Then you can even add a little tag on the string to make it even more cute.\n\nThe second way that you can package up these dog treats is putting them into mason jars. That is still trendy on tumbler and they look so cute going into the little mason jars.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nAnd one last way to package them as gifts is with baker's string. You can take a stack of cookies and tie the string around them and give them as a present that way. This gives it a rustic and more homemade feel I think it is so cute. I've also seen people doing this on Pinterest.\n\n<h3><strong>Thank You!</strong></h3>\n\n\nIf you liked this post please give me thumbs up, leave me a comment or a vote. Thanks a million for reading my post and I'll catch you wonderful people later!!\n\nPost By <a href=\"http://puppyblog.org/simple-homemade-pumpkin-dog-treats/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PuppyBlog.org</a>\n\n<center><h2><strong><a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here For A FREE Online Seminar Plus <br>A FREE Dog Diet and Nutrition Mini Course!</a></strong></h2></center>",

      "body": "<center><a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\"><img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Dog-Eats-Grass-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Why Dogs Eat Grass\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2598\" /></a></center>\n\n\n<strong><h1>Why Dogs Eat Grass And Is It Harmful?</strong></h1></center>\n</center>\n</br>\n<center> </center>\nWhy do dogs eat grass? Your beloved canine companion clearly isn’t a cow, so you might be confused when you see him eating grass. You might even be worried. Are they hungry? Bored? Sick? Will eating grass hurt them? First, rest assured that you’re not alone in your concern, especially if your dog is eating grass and vomiting. Statistical findings support the perspective that plant eating is normal behavior among domestic dogs. Pica is the technical term for the disorder characterized by eating things that aren’t food. Though it's important to understand why your dog may be displaying this behavior so that you can address it if needed. Sometimes pica indicates that your dog has some type of nutritional deficiency, though it is often simply a sign of boredom, especially when practiced by puppies and younger dogs. \n\nDogs eating grass is actually quite common (it has been observed in wild dogs, too, and may be completely natural) and this form of pica does not usually cause too many problems. In fact, most veterinarians consider it a normal dog behavior. Here are a few reasons why your dog may be eating grass. \n\n\n<center><h2><strong><a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here For A FREE Online Seminar Plus <br>A FREE Dog Diet and Nutrition Mini Course!</a></strong></h2></center></a>\n\n<h3><strong>Reason Number 1 </strong></h3>\n\nYour dog needs to clear his throat by vomiting. In many cases the dog isn't actually throwing up. Evidence suggests that most dogs that eat grass aren’t unwell beforehand, or at least they don’t seem so. In fact, fewer than 10% of dogs seem to be sick before eating grass, according to their owners. Canines cannot clear their throats so they often swallow grass because it helps the frothy stuff that collects in their throat to come up. When ingested, the grass blade tickles the throat and stomach lining; this sensation, in turn, may cause the dog to vomit, especially if the grass is gulped down rather than chewed.\n</center>\n<h3><strong>Reason Number Two </strong></h3>\n\n<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\"><img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Dog-Plays-Video-Game-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"Why Do dogs eat grass\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2600\" /></a>Your dog is bored. \nEating grass as a form of entertainment. If this is the case your dog needs to exercise more. Often perhaps a walk or provide them with toys to pass the time. In other words give your dog something to do or play with. If you suspect your dog is eating grass because they are bored, it might be beneficial to be sure they're getting enough exercise. Engage them in some fun activities. Try tossing a Frisbee or playing another interactive game with them.\n\n<h3><strong>Reason Number Three </strong></h3>\n\nYour dog likes the texture or taste of grass. They may just like the way it tastes. It is as delicious to them as the salad is to you. Remember, dogs enjoy all sorts of things that disgust the human palate—dirty socks and gristle from the trash can, anyone?\n\n<center><h2><strong><a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here For A FREE Online Seminar Plus <br>A FREE Dog Diet and Nutrition Mini Course!</a></strong></h2></center>\n\n<h3><strong>Reason Number Four</strong></h3>\n\nYour dog may be self-medicating by seeking a remedy for a gassy or upset stomach. Your dog may have a feeling of nausea and eats grass as a solution for his stomach irritation. It does seem like dogs will seek out a natural remedy for a gassy or upset stomach, and grass may do the trick. There is little nutritional value in grass for them because dogs cannot digest it. It's worth calling your vet if your dog doesn't normally display this behavior and just suddenly started eating grass to rule out any intestinal issues that can potentially be serious. Your veterinarian can determine whether your dog has an underlying gastrointestinal disease with a physical exam, fecal exam, and blood tests including a blood count and chemistry panel.\n\n<strong><h1>Top 3 Tips to Prevent Your Dog From Eating Grass</strong></h1></center>\n \n</center>\n<h3><strong>Tip Number One</strong></h3> \n\n<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\"><img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Dog-Bored-Eats-Grass-300x173.jpg\" alt=\"why do dogs eat grass\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2603\" /></a>Ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Dogs chew things frequently when they’re bored and need “something to do.” Be sure to provide plenty of enrichment and activity and even appropriate chewing options, like chew toys.\n</br></br></br></br>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Tip Number Two </strong></h3>\n\nEnsure your dog has a balanced nutritional diet and that he gets enough to eat and drink. On the chance that your dog’s pica behavior is caused by a nutritional deficiency, switching to a better dog food, especially a high-fiber variety, could help alleviate the problem. \n\n<center><h2><strong><a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_6\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here For A FREE Online Seminar Plus <br>A FREE Dog Diet and Nutrition Mini Course!</a></strong></h2></center>\n\n<h3><strong>Tip Number Three</strong></h3> \n\nIf the eating of grass is not sudden or excessive then don't fret it's normal dog behavior and not necessarily a bad thing. Remember that grass-eating is a common dog behavior that usually occurs in normal dogs and is generally not associated with illness or dietary needs. Signs of illness are infrequent and vomiting afterward is also not common.\n\nMost experts say that letting your dog eat grass poses no real risk. But do keep an eye on it, especially if there is a sudden increase in grass eating; it could be a sign of an underlying illness. And always monitor a teething puppy, because ingesting a lot leaves, grass, and sticks can lead to a blockage. So when should you call your veterinarian? If your pet experiences lethargy, diarrhea, weight loss concurrent with grass-induced vomiting, they should see the vet. If not, you can probably rest easy knowing that your dog is just doing what dogs do.\n\nIf you liked this post please give me thumbs up, leave me a comment or a vote.

      "body": "<center></br><img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Lightning-dog-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"dog afraid of thunder\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2563\" /></center>\n\n\n\n</br><h1><strong>11 Great Tips If Your Dog Is Afraid Of Thunderstorms! And Other Loud Noises</strong></h1></br>\n\nSo the topic here is thunderstorms, loud noises, fireworks and other things that can distress a dog. When you think about dogs think about the fact that their hearing is different than ours. Noise phobia, particularly from thunderstorms and fireworks, is extremely common in dogs. Trembling, pacing, salivating, hiding, and even destructive behavior are all too familiar for some pet parents during the fireworks and storm season. Why are they getting distressed?\n\nLet's think about for a second. What happens when you have a thunderstorm coming? I noticed that the birds tend to die down they're their noises and the squirrels and the rabbits go and hide. You don't hear anything. They're all kind of going to a safe spot to get away from the weather. Now a dog does the same thing. They just want to go to a \"den\" or \"cave\" or small spot where they can feel safe and protected. But they also want to have a little bit of a view out to see as well to make sure that they're safe.\n\n<center><img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/A-scared-dog-hiding-under-the-bed-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dog afraid of thunder\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2578\" /></br></center>\nSo our question today what to do if your dog or puppy is very afraid of thunderstorms? If your dog is panting or starts to develop a look like it's a little bit uncomfortable when a thunderstorm approaches then that's where these tips will help. You need to put these tips to work right away because if you wait too long the anxiety is going to build up. There's not going to be as much of an effect if you wait.\n\n</br><h2><a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_1_3_17\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Click HERE For a FREE Training Course</strong></a></h2>\n\nNow puppies are a little bit easier because you can do exposure therapy while training them. What you do if you have a puppy is, during your training sessions with them, play an audio track of a thunderstorm during the sessions. Then gradually you can build up the volume and they're going to get used to the sound. Now with the positive reinforcement they're getting, like treats, as they are learning and playing they will be more relaxed. Also you are there so it's comfortable for them and eventually they are just going to get use to the sound and they will see it as a positive thing.\n\nGrown dogs are a little bit different. To a dog thunderstorms are going be similar to fireworks and other loud noises.\n\nSo what can you do to help?\n\nFirst, a couple of things we don't want to do. These are things that might be instinctual for us.\n\n1.) We might want to call the dog and hold it and make it feel better. What we want to do ultimately is help it feel better of course. But what that's going to do is actually validate the dog's fear and can cause more anxiety.\n\n2.) The other thing that we don't want to do is to transfer any anxiety that we may have onto the dog. So we want to maintain calmness ourselves and just be aware of how you're feeling. Dogs are very intuitive and they definitely pick up on your energy.\n\n3.) Monitor weather broadcasts and websites during the storm season to make sure that you know what's coming. Also know when fireworks will be scheduled in your area.\n\n4.) If possible, stay at home with your pet so you can supervise them.\n\n5.)Ensure all their microchip details are up to date too, just in case they manage to escape.\n\n<center><img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Peaceful-Dog-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"dog afraid of thunder\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2570\" /></center></br></br></br><br>6.) Your pet may have a particular area that they choose to go to where they feel safe. If not, choose a quiet part of the house where you can close the blinds or curtains, and where your pet can't injure themselves.\n</br></br>\n7.) Similar to swaddling a baby in a blanket, the <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2YnFuLV\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Thundershirt (Click HERE)</strong></a> and anxiety wraps work by applying gentle pressure to the sides of the torso, helping to reduce stress and fear. These are safe, and very easy to use.\n\n8.) Did you know, that after giving birth, female dogs release a pheromone from their mammary glands to help calm her puppies? Clever, huh? Lucky for us, there's a synthetic version of this pheromone that can be used for a variety of anxiety conditions in dogs. <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2ygmS67\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Adaptil (Click HERE)</strong></a> is safe, odorless to humans, and it comes in a <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2ygmS67\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>spray (Click HERE)</strong></a>, <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2ygmS67\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">diffuser</a>, or <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2JZKBxX\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Collar (Click HERE)</strong></a>. You can use these in that safe haven we were talking about earlier.\n\n<img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Tea-drinking-crumpet-2-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"dog afraid of thunder\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2566\" /><br>9.) Ever made a chamomile tea for yourself to help unwind after a stressful day? <a href=\"http://B000FOV1OA\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Natural Animal Solutions Calm (Click HERE)</strong></a> contains chamomile, among other beneficial ingredients, in an easy-to-administer liquid.\n</br></br></br>\n10.) Another daily supplement that you can try is <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2Ylw5o5\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Complete Calm Chews (Click HERE)</strong></a>, which contain tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin, which contributes to a sense of well being in dogs.\n\n11.) Finally, have a chat to your vet about behavior modification techniques that you can try. These might involve relaxation training, the use of a thunder <a href=\"https://amzn.to/32XHPRm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CD for Desensitization</a>, as well as <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2SImvKV\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Counter-Conditioning</strong></a>, which trains your dog to associate a scary sound with something positive like treats or playtime. Your vet can also discuss medication with you, if appropriate.\n\nAll in all, it's important to never punish your pet if they display fearful behavior, as this will ultimately only exacerbate the problem. \n\n<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_1_3_17\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><h2>Click HERE For a FREE Training Course</h2></strong></a>\n\nThat's all for now, I hope that's been helpful.

Make sure that you let us know in the comments down below which tip your dog enjoys the most. Make sure you read right to the end as we run through the eleven tips to keep your dog cool in summer. Plus we'll let you know an essential summer dog care tip you might never have thought of.\n\n<strong> </strong><center>\n<h3>TIP NUMBER ONE TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3></center>\n<center><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2520\" src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/how-to-keep-a-dog-cool-in-summer-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"how to keep a dog cool in summer\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" /></center>\n\nThe first tip is to make sure that your dog has access to plenty of water. So at home and in the garden this can just mean that you've got plenty of water bowls dotted around the place making sure that they're regularly refreshed. Sometimes even adding ice to them can help keep that water cool and that can encourage your dog to to drink more water. Now if you're outside, if you're on a walk somewhere then actually make sure that you carry a water bottle not just for yourself but for your dog. This is very important and we can help our dog drink this water in a couple of different ways. The first is that you can carry a <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2SpOAq1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Folding Bowl</strong></a> that you can just then pop out and pour the water into to allow your dog to have a drink. You can also get <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2K2RzRN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Water Bottles</strong></a> specifically for your dogs that have got a fold-out drinking bowl attached to it. So that you'll never forget that and leave that behind I'll put some links below for those products.\n\n<strong> </strong><center>\n<h3>TIP NUMBER TWO TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3></center>\nTip number two is to use a fan. Now obviously when it's hot we have a fan it helps blow the air over us it helps us lose heat better. Your dog is exactly the same. This can just be, if you're at home, a normal household fan directed over your dog's bed or the area that they like to sit. You can also get <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2Susdju\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Crate Fans</strong></a> that attach onto the side of the crate, onto the bars, and that will blow the air through the crate and over your dog. That really can be useful actually if you are at home and if that's the place that they like to sit. If you're traveling in the car you can use a <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2JJjmWU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Summer and Winter Vehicle Traveling System to Keep Dogs and Cats Comfortable in the Car</strong></a>. So using a fan to help keep your dog cool can really help.\n\n<strong> </strong><center>\n<h3>TIP NUMBER THREE TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3></center>\n<center><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2524\" src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Tips-To-Keep-A-Dog-Cool-In-Summer-cooling-vest-300x257.jpg\" alt=\"HOW TO KEEP A dog cool in summer\" width=\"300\" height=\"257\" /></center>\n\nTip number three to keep your dog cool in hot weather is actually use cooling ice packs, <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2SrPcf5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Cooling Towels</strong></a> or <strong><a href=\"https://amzn.to/2Y3oV7U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cooling Mats</a></strong>. You can do this in a number of different ways. Get cooling towels and mats that you just add a little bit of water to kind of shake them out. These are a great thing. The water starts evaporating and it cools the dog down and there can actually be quite a big difference between the temperature of the towel and their outside temperature. You can also get other cooling aids and one of these is an ice pack or a cool pack that goes around their neck so you pop that in the fridge and then when you need to cool your dog down you just take it out and put it around their neck and it provides some nice cooling. And yet another option is <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2Y1XHi7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Cooling Vests or Harnesses</strong></a> that you put on very much like any harness and they won't slip off. If your dog's out and about then you just soak the vest in water, wring it out and place it on your dog. The light-colored fabric reflects solar radiation, while evaporative cooling pulls heat from the dog's back, chest and belly. The integrated leash portal allows leash attachment when the vest is worn and can make a really big difference.\n\n<strong> </strong><center>\n<h3>TIP NUMBER FOUR TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3></center>\nTip number four to keep your dog cool is to use cooling treats. We like ice cream or ice blocks and our dogs\nare no different. What you can do is actually make up treats, pop them in the freezer in advance and then when it's hot you can take those out and give them to your dogs to help them stay cool.\n\n<strong> </strong><center>\n<h3>TIP NUMBER FIVE TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3></center>\n<center><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2526\" src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/How-To-keep-a-dog-cool-in-summer-booties-236x300.jpg\" alt=\"how to keep a dog cool in summer\" width=\"236\" height=\"300\" /></center>\n\nTip number five to keep your dog cool and prevent injury is to actually use <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2Yf2Lnd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Booties for their feet</strong></a>. This is especially important if you live in the town or in the city and you're walking on concrete or pavement. It's amazing how quickly they can heat up. Using booties on their feet will make a really big difference. It provides a layer of insulation so it will stop them conducting heat from the ground into their body. And it will also stop their paws from getting burnt. This can really help to certainly not only keep your dog cool but prevent them from getting some quite serious injuries.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \n\n<center> <h3>TIP NUMBER SIX TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3></center>\nNumber six is to use a sprinkler or a <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2Y1uXG7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Wading Pool</strong></a> of some sort in the yard. This will allow your dog to get wet which will help cool them off. We can think of this almost like sweating for dogs. Dogs can't sweat but they lose heat in the same way that we do. If they can get wet then that water then evaporates and actually takes a lot of heat with it. This will keep your dog cool! Be sure that there's no water restrictions in your are for having the sprinkler running on low. Having a <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2Y1uXG7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Wading Pool</strong></a> that you allow and encourage your dog to use might be the best option and can make a really big difference in keeping them cool and help prevent heatstroke.\n\n<strong> </strong><center>\n<h3>TIP NUMBER SEVEN TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3></center>\nTip number seven is to have shaded areas. If your dog is outside then just make sure that they've got somewhere shady and cooler for them to retreat to. There's nothing worse than seeing dogs in yards where there's absolutely no shade. Or you see them really tucked up against this thin slither of shade on the side of the fence and that's really the only place they can get out of the beating sun. If you don't have any tress or other shade in your yard you can get a <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2Ly5fHx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Dog Cot with Canopy</strong></a>. Just providing a nice shady spot can help keep your dog cool and safe.\n\n<strong> </strong><center>\n<h3>TIP NUMBER EIGHT TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3></center>\nTip number eight might not be quite so obvious and that's <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2XTZL04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Weight Loss</strong></a>. Losing weight can make a huge difference. Just like humans when a dog has a lot of extra weight it will not only make them hotter but it will also make it harder to breath. The extra weight will also make it harder to move and the extra struggle will make them hotter. Help your dog <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2XTZL04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Lose Weight</strong></a> and you will help them in a lot of ways!\n\n<strong> </strong><center>\n<h3>TIP NUMBER NINE TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3></center>\nTip number nine is to groom your dog. This is important especially if they have a long coat. If they have a thick coat then actually clipping them out in the summer can make a big difference in their temperature. Just imagine a big heavy thick long coat is a bit like wearing a big insulated jacket. You need to remove that jacket in order to get cool. Getting your dog regularly groomed or <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2LtpJ45\"><strong>Grooming Them Yourself</strong></a> will make a big difference in keeping them cool in the summer.\n\n* Get a FREE Dog Grooming Course - <a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_4_3_13\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Just Click HERE</strong></a>\n\n<strong> </strong><center>\n<h3>TIP NUMBER TEN TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3></center>\nNumber ten is to only exercise or walk them in the cool of the day. The best time is generally first thing in the morning before the sun is at it's full strength and before the temperatures star to really warm up. Targeting the Morning is best but late evening is another option. Limiting their exercise actually in the middle of the day is very important. So even if you think that your dog wants to run, if they want to chase a ball or any other exercise just don't do that for them. Not taking them out and not playing with them too exuberantly will help to prevent heatstroke because overexertion actually is a really big cause of heat stroke.\n\n<strong> </strong><center>\n<h3>TIP NUMBER ELEVEN TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3>\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2522\" src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/keep-a-dog-cool-in-summer-parked-car-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"how to keep a dog cool in summer\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" /></center>\n\nFinal tip tip number 11 is quite simple - never leave your dog in a parked car! There's very little that's better at killing a dog through heatstroke than leaving them in a parked car in warm weather. It doesn't even really need to be that hot outside and it doesn't take that long. If you've got any doubts about that and you're not sure about how quickly a car can get warm then here is a video about that - <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwEg1RoULBw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CLICK HERE</strong></a> to watch it. I'd really encourage you to watch the video and share it with your friends and family, it's very important. Every year dogs die in hot cars and it's so avoidable and completely unnecessary!\n\n<strong> </strong><center>\n<h3>BONUS TIP TO KEEP YOUR DOG COOL</h3></center>\nAs promised here is a bonus heat care tip for you and that is to actually consider using sunscreen for your dog It's something that we often don't think about but our dogs noses, especially the tips, are really susceptible to sunburn and sun damage. That definitely can lead to some cancers which can be very aggressive and very difficult to treat especially if they're not addressed straight away. I would recommend a specific pet sun cream because other sun creams can have harmful or irritating ingredients. Using a pet specific sun cream can just help prevent skin irritation while at the same time preventing burns.

      "body": "<a  href=\"http://bit.do/MakeYourOwnDogFood\" target=\"_blank\" > <img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Dog-Treats-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade dog treats\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2492\" /></a> \n\n\n<h2>&#x1f436; 2 INGREDIENT DIY DOG TREATS &#x1f436;</h2></center>\n</center>\n</center></h2>What you need:\n\n<b>\n<li>Parchment Paper\n<li>Rolling Pin</li>\n<li>2 Cups of 100% Organic Whole Wheat Flower</li>\n<li>2 - 4 Ounce Jars of Baby Food </li>\n<li>Cookie Cutter</li>\n<li>Bowl</li>\n<li>1 Cup Measuring Cup</li></b>\n</b>\n<br>\n\n\n</b>Let's get started on these dog treats. Pour two cups of 100% Organic Whole Wheat Flower into a bowl. Next add the 2 jars of baby food. I use the green beans or the carrots but you can use whatever ones you want. Make sure that what you use is safe for your dog. You want to do your research before you choose a certain baby food because you don't know what is safe for them or not. I do know these ones, the carrots and the green beans, are good for dogs.\n\n<h3>Mix It Up</h3>\n\nNow you stir your mixture to get a good consistency. Knead it almost like you're making dough for sugar cookies. That's the consistency you're trying to get so you can roll it out, knead it and roll it out. You can use your hands or a spatula to get it ready to take it out of the bowl. \n\n<h3>Create Your Treats</h3>\n\nNext just kind of squeeze it and work it into a little ball. Now take some flour and put it on the counter top or table just so it doesn't stick when you cut them out. So now take little pieces off of the ball and use the rolling pin to flatten them. Then just use a cookie cutter to cut out your treats. I like a small size because they're perfect dog treat size. You can use any kind of cookie cutter that you want for your treats and do anything pretty much. So whatever your heart desires. \n\n<h3>Time To Bake</h3>\n\nNow put them all on a cookie sheet lined with the parchment paper. Put them in the oven on 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them so you can make sure that they don't burn. Sometimes I don't even go up to the 20 minutes. I'll have about a minute left and they are done. It really depends on their size and how your oven cooks. So just keep an eye on them. \n\n<h3>Cool and Serve</h3>\n\nOnce they are all done you will just have to wait for them to cool. You don't want them to be too hot for the dogs. My dogs dance around waiting for them to come out of the oven but I want to make sure they're nice and cool for them. Once they cool down they should have a nice soft consistency to them. \n\nThese treats are only good for about two weeks because there is baby food in them. I usually keep them in a cookie jar (treat jar) and they are good for about two weeks and then you have to throw them out. But they're so easy to make you can make another batch. \n\nSo definitely try this recipe out and thank you so much for reading my post. If you liked this post please give me thumbs up, leave me a comment or a vote.

      "body": "<a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_1_3_17&quot; \" target=\"blank&quot;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2480\" src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Dog-consantly-running-away.jpg\" alt=\"Dog-consantly-running-away\" width=\"810\" height=\"608\" /></a>\n<h3><center>What TO Do And NOT To Do If Your Dog \nRuns Away And Doesn't Listen</h3></center></h3>\nToday I'm going to talk to you about what to do and what not to do if your dog were to suddenly run away from you and not listen when out and about. Here's a story about what happened yesterday at the park showing what not to do.\n\nI was walking my dogs and this loose dog ran over. As the owner approached her dog acted fearful of her and then ran away. Luckily a stranger was able to capture her dog for her. As she approached her dogs she obviously was feeling emotional. She probably felt embarrassed and angry. So what happened was as she took her dog she took out her emotions on her dog. She most likely was thinking that by acting angry and aggressive towards her dog it would teach the dog to listen to her. Also to not run away from her.\n\nBut what she actually was teaching her dog is that if her dog is loose and she approaches her dog something terrible will happen when she actually catches her dog. She literally was teaching her dog to avoid her if the dog were to run away from her in the future. That is probably the same reason why, when her dog was sniffing my dog's, that as she approached her dog acted fearful and then ran from her.\n<h3>Keep Your Emotions In Check</h3>\nIt's very hard for us as humans to not act emotionally. But in order to train our dogs we have to put our emotions on the side. We Must think about what will affect their behavior in the future. So I'm going to tell you what you should do if your dog were to suddenly run away and not listen to you.\n\nIf your dog were to run away from you it's important to quickly assess how dangerous the situation is and act accordingly. For example, if your dog is running towards a busy road and you know that yelling at your dog is going to get your dog to stop in his tracks then do it. Worry about your dog's safety first and what will keep your dog safe. And then you can think about training later. But in the next example I'm going to talk about what to do is if there isn't a dangerous situation happening.\n<h3>If There Isn't a Dangerous Situation</h3>\nSay your dogs run away from you at the park and they're safe. What you can do to get your dog to want to come back to you is to act happy and excited. Instead of acting angry and annoyed which usually makes dogs want to stay away from you. So you can use a high-pitched voice calling them and pat your legs. I wouldn't suggest approaching your dog but you can go to the side. If your dog is out in front of you, you can run sideways back and forth. Running away from your dog can help but obviously you're creating more and more distance from your dog. So I suggest zigzagging to the left and the right. And you can actually even approach your dog without them knowing it by slowly zigzagging towards them.\n\nAnother idea is dropping treats and running. Still another idea is laying down on the ground and making high-pitched noises. Most dogs find that it's not a threat if you were suddenly to lay down on the ground. Now if none of that works I suggest going over to your dog in an arc. Especially if they're distracted by something. Instead of a direct approach you're going to arc around and try not to look at your dog as you go to approach them.\n<h3>The Final Step</h3>\nAnd the final step is when you do get to your dog. When they're distracted by something, like a stranger or another dog, you're going to get your dog in a neutral manner. Because this is going to train them in the future that nothing bad happens when you actually do get them. So say they're sniffing on the ground you go over and you grab their collar in a neutral manner. Or maybe pick up your little dog in a neutral manner. You must try your hardest not to take out your emotions on your dog. It is going to be a little bit embarrassing if you're out in public and your dog's not listening to you.\n\nThere are a couple of things you can train now to set yourself up for success if this situation were to happen to you. One is proofing a recall with distractions. Another is teaching tricks that will, as a result, get your dog to come to you because they want to do that specific trick.\n<h3>Tricks You Can Use</h3>\nHere are some tricks that you can use. One of them is asking your dog to touch your fingers. Basically you say touch and your dog comes and touches your fingers and then you have a dog that is with you. Or maybe a little dog learns a trick where they jump into your arms. If you have a little dog you can say jump up and then you've got your dog. That's my favorite one for little dogs! Maybe they like weaving through your legs or going between your legs. You can give them that cue and if they love it they'll come running to do that behavior.\n\nThe other thing that you can do is teach your dog what to do if they are ignoring you. Say they've run over and they're smelling another dog and you want to now collect them in a neutral manner. Without training some dogs can find it extremely punishing to be picked up. Also having their collar grabbed and pulled away from something that they like. So in training sessions you can teach your dog to find these behaviors neutral or even pleasant. That way if you do need to go and get your dog they are not seeing you as this really horrible thing that's coming and spoiling their fun.\n<h3>For Little Dogs</h3>\nOne thing to do with little dogs is first handling and then work on picking them up. So you're just going to touch them on their sides and use a marker word. Gradually work on picking them up until they feel comfortable with it. If you have a dog that's very uncomfortable with being picked up you can teach them to jump on your lap. You bend down and then they jump into your arms rather than them being picked up.\n\nIf you have a larger dog you're obviously not going to have them jump in your arms or carry them. But you can teach them the collar grab. Basically teaching your dog that when you take their collar and lead them it's simply a cue train with positive reinforcement. It just means move with me in the same way you would train a recall. This way your dog enjoys coming to you and your dog is enjoying being led by you.\n\nWithout prior training a lot of dogs find this extremely punishing and intimidating. So when they're loose and you have to grab their collar and you haven't trained it you're basically training your dog not to be caught by you. Then they're going to start avoiding it if they find it to be a punishing experience.\n\nIf you liked this post please give me thumbs up, leave me a comment or a vote.

A lot of people have the misconception that if you're using positive reinforcement to train your dog that you're supposed to ignore unwanted behavior. This is simply not true. And also a really bad idea because most of the behaviors that we find undesirable in dogs are usually self reinforcing. In other words the dogs enjoy doing them. For example chewing on your furniture or barking when they see a dog passing in the street. If you just ignore these behaviors they're going to gather a reinforcement history. And they're gonna be really hard to get rid of in the future because your dog has been rehearsing them for for a long period of time.\n\nSo I suggest in your training, it's really important if you see a behavior that you don't like you have two options. Number one, figure out a way to prevent that behavior by managing the environment as you train your dog appropriate behaviors. Or number two, you need to interrupt that behavior as soon as you see it.\n\nSo if you see your puppy going to chew on your furniture you need to interrupt your puppy immediately. A lot of people believe that you have to use punishment to interrupt undesirable behavior. But this is really not true. I've been training dogs with this method for over 15 years and I've never seen any issues arise from this method. And I actually believe it's a better way of training. The reason I use it because you don't get any of the side effects that are associated with punishment.\n\nI don't believe that it's cruel or inhumane to tell your puppy or your adult dog no when they do certain behaviors you dislike. But I really believe that by using an interrupter that you've trained with, like a cue, that tells your dog what to do is a much better way of training because you don't get the baggage of punishment.\n\nHere's a list of the different ways that you can interrupt your dog without using physical or psychological intimidation:\n\n<b>1.) Attention noise\n2.) Recall\n3.) Leave it\n4.) Stationing behavior\n5.) Drop it\n6.) Let's go\n7.) Alternate behavior\n8.) Treat lure\n9.) Release cue\n10.) Move the dog</b>\n\nFirst you need to set up training sessions to train your dog these behaviors. You might only need one or two depending on your situation. But once you've trained your dog the behavior you then need to prove the behavior in proofing sessions. This simply means asking for the behavior in different scenarios and different environments to make sure the dog understands that no matter what situation the same behavior is required.\n<h3>1.) Attention Noise</h3>\nNow I'm going to discuss all those different behaviors on the list starting with the attention noise. I think this is the easiest and the quickest interrupter to train. I use it with new rescue dogs and puppies who haven't had any prior training because it's quick and easy. Now all you have to do is make a kissy noise and when your dog looks up at you you mark and reinforce your dog for looking at you. Once you've trained and proofed that behavior then if your dog is doing something that you don't really like you can make the kissy noise your dog looks at you to say what?\n\nThen you tell your dog what you do want them to do.And if they don't know any cues yet you can show your dog. So say if your puppy is chewing on a chair you can make the kissy noise and then show them their ball. Now it's really important when you're interrupting behavior that you understand that it's not the interrupting of the behavior that is important in creating a well-mannered dog. The really important thing is training your dog what you do want them to do. Puppies chew. So if you are simply just trying to punish them for chewing your furniture they're going to keep wanting to chew. The best solution is training them what to chew on which is their dog toys, their bones, etc.\n\nIn this post I'm talking about interrupting behavior. But if the only training that you do with your dog is interrupting them then that's the only time that you're giving them attention. So if you were to use punishment and you were telling your dog no every time they touch things, and ignore your dog all the other times, your dog is going to start to want to do undesirable behavior to get your attention. Therefore with this training it's extremely important to reinforce the behaviors you do want your dog to do like relaxing calmly when you're ignoring your dog.\n\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_1\"><img src=\"http://bestorganicfoodnearme.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Dog-Obedience-Training-300x103.jpg\" alt=\"puppy obedience training\" width=\"300\" height=\"103\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-421\" /></a></center>\n<h3>2.) Recall</h3>\nThe second interrupter is a recall. Say your dog is at a distance and you need your dog to move away from something. You can teach them to come to you when you call them. When they come to you they are moving away from the thing you wanted them to get away from. The recall response seems to come naturally to some dogs. For others, it’s a hard-won behavior. The good news is it’s not as hard as you might think. It just takes a commitment to regular practice, keeping it fun and happy.\n\nStart by “charging” your “Come” cue. This will be a word that will always mean to your dog: “Absolutely wonderful stuff is about to happen and you better get over here fast or you’re going to miss out!” Say “Come!” in a loud, cheerful voice and feed your dog a very high-value treat - chicken, steak, whatever they think is totally wonderful. Repeat many times, until your dog’s eyes light up when they hear the cue. Always treat your dog or puppy nicely every time they come to you -- kind words or a pat on the head are a must because little treats reinforce the good feelings.\n\n<strong>Note:</strong> If you’ve already taught your dog that “Come!” sometimes means “bad stuff” then you’ve “poisoned” your cue, and you need to pick a different word.\n<h3>3.) Leave It</h3>\nThe third interrupter that I like to use is the leave it cue. A lot of people ask me what's the difference between a \"kissy\" attention noise, a recall and the leave it cue. For me I like to train the dog that leave it means don't bother that specific thing but you can do anything you want. Leave it is one of the most valuable cues to teach a dog, and one of my favorites to train. Teaching a leave-it command is a practical and potentially lifesaving command that every dog should learn.\n\nIt works best to spend about 15 minutes per day in 5 minute sessions working on training your dog \"Leave it\". Using small, pea-sized, treats to reward good behavior makes learning happen quickly and without overfeeding. If your dog is not interested in treats, you can substitute playing with him or scratching him where he really enjoys it for a few seconds. Try to tailor your training sessions so that they are easy enough for your dog to earn a reward most of the time. Setting him up for success will avoid frustration for the learner as well as the trainer.\n<h3>4.) Stationing Behavior</h3>\nNumber four is a stationing behavior. Pick an area, or station, for your dog in each room, preferably a spot that is to the side or in a quiet corner. You can teach your dog to go to his bed or go to a crate or some other location. Then you can use that to interrupt behavior you don't like for example if your dog is starting to play rough or get too excited. You could say go to their bed and then they could take a break. Then you could release them to play again. Or perhaps you have a guest come over and your dog gets a little bit excited. You can tell your dog to go to their bed and then they can relax. And when they feel more calm then they can interact with the guest again.\n<h3>5.) Drop It</h3>\nThe drop it cue can come in handy if you have a puppy or a new dog that likes to tug on your clothes or pull on the leash. Or perhaps picks things up like your underwear or things on a walk. It’s easiest to start teaching a puppy “Drop It”. But most every dog can learn this cue if you are patient and consistent. You’ll want to keep your training sessions short and sweet. Practice each day for about five minutes at a time starting with low value items. You’ll need lots of yummy Dog Treats, and of course a dependable dog collar and leash for your dog. With your dog on a leash, give them an item to investigate. Make sure you begin with a low value item to start. If your dog loves socks, start with something a little less exciting like a T-shirt.\n\nPlace the object on the floor in front of your dog and allow them to check it out. While they are engaged with the object say your dog’s name and then “Drop It” (or whatever your relinquish cue will be). As soon as your dog looks at you say “Yes!” or indicate with your clicker and give them lots of treats. If your dog has a hard time relinquishing the object, use your leash to gently move them away from the object and then reinforce them. Repeat this exercise several times each day.\n\nWhen your dog is responding consistently to the “Drop It” cue with low value items, begin challenging them with different objects. You’ll find that your dog will have a harder time with some objects than others. When you identify what objects are of high value to your dog spend lots of time working the relinquish cue. Don’t be afraid to use your leash to move your dog away from the object. But be sure your movements are smooth and gentle and ALWAYS reinforce your dog when they respond correctly.\n\nAs your “Drop It” training progresses, practice in different locations. Ideally, you want your dog to be able to drop a chicken bone they find in the alley without hesitation. But remember, this takes lots of practice, so always be patient with your precious pet. With plenty of positive reinforcement, patience and love, your pet will master the \"Drop It\" cue like a pro. You can tell your dog to drop it and then tell them what you do want them to do.\n<h3>6.) Let's Go</h3>\nLet's go! This is a cue that means I am moving, move with me. You can use it when your your dog is on a leash. It's great if you have a reactive dog and you notice that they are getting a little bit worried about something in the environment. You can say let's go and then move in the opposite direction. It gives your dog the opportunity to know that you're going to be moving. That's better than just startling them by pulling on their leash to go in the other direction. Another great use for let's go is if dogs are meeting on a leash and then you see your dog's getting a little bit too excited. Or perhaps the other dog is getting too excited. You can say let's go to teach your dog to move away from that other dog.\n<h3>7.) Alternate Behavior</h3>\nNumber seven is alternate behavior. If you have a dog that is doing a behavior that you don't like you can cue them to do a behavior that is incompatible with the one that they're doing. Behaviors that aren’t rewarded in some way eventually extinguish. Especially if you make it a point to reinforce an alternative and preferably incompatible behavior.\n<h3>8.) Treat Lure</h3>\nNumber 8 - Using a treat lure to interrupt behavior. I like to use a treat as a lure to interrupt behavior. Especially in training sessions when I'm training behaviors. For example a down stay. Lets say that the dog was in a down stay and I raised criteria too quickly (walked too far away) and the dog doesn't understand that to get the treat they need to stay. If the dog was to get up and follow me I could quickly get a treat and lure the dog back into the position (lure them into the down stay) with the treat.\n\nI would not give them the treat because I don't want them to learn that getting up immediately gets them the treat. Then I make the criteria a little bit easier than the last trial. Meaning maybe I went 30 feet away before and now I'm just going to go 5 feet away. And then I reinforce the dog for staying in the down position with a treat. From that point I would increase the criteria little by little.\n\nThe reason that I like to use this way of interrupting behavior is because if I set the training up to be too hard for the dog why should the dog be the one who gets punished for my crappy training plan. So I say to myself oops I messed up I'm going to reinforce this dog for an easier behavior. And then figure out a way to raise criteria where the dog is understanding what I want every step of the way.\n<h3>9.) Release Cue</h3>\nThe 9th interrupt is using a release cue to interrupt behavior. I like to use the release cue for a sit stay or down stay for my dogs. I like to use this for dogs who guard space. So for example if a dog guards the couch and the dog has a sit-stay where the owner says sit and then they say <em>release</em> and the dog runs to them happily.\n\nYou can use that cue, which has a conditioned emotional response of \"yay I love getting up\", for the resource guarder. Say your the dog's laying on the couch and another dog comes over. Then you see your dog about to guard the couch you can release your dog off the couch by saying \"free\". Then when your dog comes to you, if they haven't guarded yet, you can reinforce them with a treat.\n\nBut if they have guarded you could then wait a little bit and use a different behavior that you like. Use something that in the future they're going to do to reinforce that new behavior instead. You don't want to always reinforce your dog quickly after you've interrupted them from doing a behavior you dislike. The important thing is doing training sessions where you build these cues to be reinforcing for your dog. Then they want to listen to you and they want to be doing these alternate behaviors. Use the cue to interrupt behaviors but don't give them a treat. Instead give them a treat for an old alternate behavior, that you like, throughout the day.\n<h3>10.) Move the dog</h3>\nThe final behavior that I'm going to be talking about involves moving your dog when your dog can't listen to you. Either they've not had enough training or they're too excited or fearful or scared. In that circumstance you need to move them. For example you have a puppy and they're chewing on a power cord. You make your kissy noise, you try to encourage them to get away from the cord and your dog is not listening to you. Then need to move your dog. You also maybe don't want them chewing on your really expensive furniture and your puppy's not listening to you when you tell them to stop. Pick the puppy up and move them away.\n\nNow you don't need to do this in an intimidating way. The idea is that you don't want to use intentional physical or psychological intimidation. Now it could be true that you pick your puppy up and they're like whoa I don't really like that. Then you say to yourself, \"oh no my puppy doesn't like being picked up\". So instead of just always picking your puppy up and turning being picked up into a punishment you want to spend many sessions training your puppy to like being picked up. Especially if you have little dogs. It's so convenient to be able to pick up your little dog without them feeling like it's some type of intimidation game.\n\nNow for bigger dogs. If you have a very large dog and you can't pick them up you're going to need to take their collar and move them away from whatever dangerous situation they're in. Or some behavior that you really don't want them to learn. For example, putting their paws up on the stove. You want to get them away from that stove as quickly as possible before they get hurt. If they're not listening to you you are going to take their collar and you're going to move them off the stove or move them with your hands.\n\nNow the idea is that if you don't do any training most dogs find physical movement, pushing, shoving, moving them by the collar, really not fun and very punishing. So you have to set up training sessions where your dog understands that these behaviors are cues to mean move with me.\n\nSay you're walking down the street and you see a bicycle coming and they're not gonna stop for your dog. You need to move your dog if they're not listening to you and you. You say \"let's go\" you stay calm and your dog doesn't move you have to move them. So when you pull them on the leash most dogs don't like it very much. They find it punishing. So what you need to do is set up training sessions where you teach your dog that when they feel pressure on their leash it simply means to turn and come with you. That way when you need to use leash pressure in emergencies the dog understands what you want them to do. And it's been a reinforced behavior so they don't find it so averse.\n\nIt's great to use leash pressure with dogs who are fearful or reactive with other dogs. Because sometimes when they alert on the thing that they're scared of you can prevent them from reacting by saying let's go and if they're not listening moving them further away on leash to an area where they can relax.\n\n<strong>I hope you guys found this post helpful and it didn't put you to sleep like it did my dogs!</strong>\n\n<strong>If you liked this post please give me thumbs up, leave me a comment or a vote.

I hear what people are focusing on and I see what people really want to go through and accomplish with their businesses. And so I went through and made a list of five different things that people kind of get a little bit backwards when it comes to <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a>. So in order to help you with your business in 2019 and moving forward I want to share these five big mistake with you. This way you can hopefully avoid them and get on the right track with your paid advertising. Because let's face it when you're putting money into your business and investing money into ads and marketing those are very valuable dollars.\r\n\r\nYou can't waste this money! So if we have the wrong of wrong objective, then you're just you're gonna fail from the start. Stephen R. Covey (<a href=\"https://amzn.to/2TKUOor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People</a>) says begin with the end in mind and that is what is needed here. You can have all of the best intentions but if you are making these small mistakes, then you're really not ever going to get to your goal. So let's dive in and go over the five biggest mistakes I see people make when it comes to <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a>.\r\n<h3>Mistake Number 1</h3>\r\nThe first big mistake is concentrating on how many followers you have. People think that the best marketing objective when setting up a Facebook ad campaign is to get more likes and followers. Honestly it really applies to any social media network. Even if you're trying to get more YouTube subscribers or more Instagram followers or any social media. The truth is the money is not in the number of followers that you have. I know several people who have well over a hundred thousand and well over 500 thousand subscribers that make pennies the dollar compared to some people with much smaller channels. And the same thing goes for Instagram,YouTube etc. If you just have a lot of followers but you don't have the business sense, the business savvy on the back-end and know how to actually turn those followers into money then it really doesn't matter.\r\n\r\nIf you have five hundred thousand followers or a million followers on Facebook and don't know how to sell to them then you still have no business. So the key is to really understand how to go through and start generating sales from a small following. That would be much better than first focusing on getting this massive following and then deciding that you are going to make money later. There's not a quicker way that you're going to go broke than focusing on just likes or followers on whatever social network you're trying to build, believe me.\r\n\r\nI talk to a lot of Facebook influencers and it's crazy how they have grown these big followings, but they're still broke because they don't know how to monetize it. They don't know how to sell anything to those people. And so this big old following just really doesn't benefit them whatsoever. So the first biggest mistake is going for likes or followers and having that be your sole focus.\r\n\r\nWhat I would go for instead is building an email list. Because if you're building an email list then you're able to have a way of communicating with them. You will be able to sell things to them much easier. You can even leverage that email list to build your following on Facebook or even YouTube or Instagram. Whatever platform you want to grow.\r\n\r\nThat's exactly what I did. I was only focused on building my email list and then on the back end, after somebody already opted into my email list, I would recommend join, my Facebook group, which I was able to grow to over 7,000 real estate agents in just a few months And then now more recently I've been focused on hey, go subscribe to my youtube channel We've got tons of free content over there and I've been able to grow that to over 20,000 subscribers in the last 12 months Which obviously I get it.\r\n\r\nThere's a lot of chance to grew a whole lot faster than I did. But you know It's a good start and honestly if you look at it I'm able to go through and Using the strategy make a lot more money than some of the channels that might be ten times the size of my channel!\r\n\r\n<div class=\"pull-left\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-595\" src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/facebook-ads-300x143.png\" alt=\"Facebook advertising\" width=\"300\" height=\"143\" /></div><br/>\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n<h3>Mistake Number 2</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe second biggest mistake I see people make with <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a> is not focusing on the right audiences. Now Facebook wants to help you out. They want to give you all of this material to go through to be successful. But by giving you all of this information, all of these different audiences you can target, a lot of times that's what keeps you from actually being successful. Now about a year ago Facebook took away the demographic targeting and everyone freaked out. Everyone was thinking Facebook ads were done, they're dead. Honestly for me and a lot of my friends that spend a lot of money on advertising it really did not faze us at all. The reason is that we are not going through and targeting any of those demographics.\r\n\r\nSo if you were, then you know that it was not a good strategy for your business because now you can't do that targeting. And it is the same with the interests targeting of people, like people interested in basketball or people interested in football or whatever the topic might be. Everyone else is going through and clicking those same things.\r\n\r\nThings like targeting people that are interested in real estate or people interested in making money online or whatever it is. You're fighting with so many other Facebook Advertisers and it's this massive red ocean where you want to create your own blue ocean. So what do you want to do when it comes to targeting specific audiences with your <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a>? You want to focus on building your own custom audiences. Now what is a custom audience? That is anyone that has been a previous client. Maybe they bought some product from you or they have used your service or whatever.\r\n\r\nIt might be anyone that has been a lead. So you have their their phone or email address and you're able to go and give that to Facebook and say here's a list of people that are my potential clients. People that I want to go through and market to. It could be anyone that visits your website, anybody that has interacted with your Facebook page. These are all custom audiences because they've already had interaction with your business. So it's kind of like more of that re-targeting play which is basically advertising like Amazon where you go and check out a product now all of a sudden you're seeing this product all over the place, right?\r\n\r\nSo you're able to do that with your marketing. You're using these custom audiences that you're showing your offers to. This very targeted group as opposed to hey, I want to just target everyone that is real estate agent. That's just too broad of an audience and you're really not going to see that great of results. So what you do is you take this custom audience and then you start to focus on a 1% targeted audience.\r\n\r\nSo the way that works is you go to Facebook and say hey here is my custom audience. Here's all of my leads and I want you to find other people that look just like these leads. So they have the same interests and maybe the same demographics. Even though you can't target by things like financials or if they're a homeowner or anything like that Facebook still knows that data.\r\n\r\nThey still have all this data on everyone so they use this data to go help you create these look alike audiences. So this is the big key when it comes to targeting. Focusing on your custom audiences and then when it comes time to scale you focus on those look-alike audiences. Because in that 1% look-alike audience there are 2 million people inside that audience which is were most business owners advertise. And you really don't need a scale beyond the 1% look-alike audience until you're spending more than $2,000 per day on your advertising. A lot of people don't really ever get to $2,000 per day on your advertisement.

I would say this is not just for newbies. This mistake is made by intermediate and even some advanced people. And this is something that I struggled with for a long time. Having tracking set up. This is about not knowing your numbers. My whole strategy for the last two or three years was saying, I'm going to put X amount into Facebook ads and as long as I'm making money back out, then I'm good, right? So let's say I put a thousand bucks into <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a> for the week or whatever and then if I made two thousand or three thousand dollars back out then that is perfect.\r\n\r\nSo I made money, I'm good and I'm just going to pocket it. But I wasn't really keeping track of anything. The bad thing about this is it adds a lot of stress. Unneeded stress to your life. Because you just have no idea where you are with your business. The same thing goes if you're trying to lose weight, for example, but you never weigh yourself. You wouldn't know if you are actually losing weight or not. If you're not tracking your calories or you are not actually taking measurements you could go three months and not know if you lost weight. You could've lost ten pounds. But by just looking at yourself in the mirror, you can't really tell that you lost weight or how many pounds.\r\n\r\nSo you have got to measure. You have to track you have to go through on a daily basis and track. How much money did you spend? And how much money did you make? How many leads did you generate? What's the lifetime value of those leads? You have got to have all of this tracking in place! And do it on a day to day basis.\r\n\r\nTracking has been like the biggest revelation to me. It's been so much easier on my mental state and I've been able to be a lot more confident in scaling my ad buys. Scaling my business has been a lot better and it's just brought me a lot more peace of mind.\r\n\r\nHey, don't worry. It's all fine. Just look at the numbers. You still made money, right? So that's the big thing for number three is tracking. Make sure you're tracking and don't just rely on the numbers inside the Facebook ad manager.  Actually make sure that you're tracking.\r\n<h3>Mistake Number 4</h3>\r\nThe number four biggest mistake most people make when it comes to Facebook advertising is once again I'm going to quote <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2TKUOor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stephen R.Covey</a> - they don't begin with the end in mind. They go after likes or leads or whatever it might be. But after they generate the lead they have no idea what they're gonna do with it. This is something that I messed up with about three years ago. When I was kind of really diving into all this stuff is I would go through and I'd run ads. Then I had some low ticket offer of like fifty bucks and I didn't have that full funnel concept set up. Honestly if you're selling just a fifty dollar item with no funnel to follow up you're going to lose money every single time. So you need to have the whole funnel laid out.\r\n\r\nWhat does that look like? Are you gonna be selling them a high ticket item? Are you gonna be taking them through a lot of lower ticket items? If you are a real estate agent are you going and try to book appointments from those leads? And then sell them a home which is gonna be somewhat of a high ticket item? And then make all of that money back. So think about where you are headed with your ads and where you want to take the customer.\r\n\r\nSo that is another big mistake that I see a lot of Facebook advertisers make. They just throw money at Facebook ads thinking that they're gonna magically make money. Because all these guys on YouTube are making money with Facebook Ads. But if you don't begin with the end in mind. And you don't understand the funnel. If you don't understand where you're taking these people. And you don't have that all mapped out. You are once again going to lose money every single time. If you really want to ramp up your advertising results check out this program -&gt;&gt;&gt; \"<a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sense Drill\" by clicking HERE now</a>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"pull-left\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-597\" src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Facebook-Advertising-Costs-300x177.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" /></div><br/>\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n<h3>Mistake Number 5</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSo the fifth and final mistake in <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a> is you don't have a Facebook advertising budget and/or your budget is not targeted.\r\n\r\nSo you have a book funnel. You've got a challenge funnel. And you've got all these different funnels but as you're starting out you don't have this massive advertising budget. You need to focus ninety to ninety five percent of your marketing budget on one single funnel nothing else!\r\n\r\nYou cannot try and follow the \"Big Guns\". They have this massive budget and they have this whole team that can go through and create all of these different funnels. They can test out different offers and it's just way more than you or me could probably go through. So if you only have let's say a hundred dollars a day or a thousand dollars a day or even five thousand dollars a day - focus on one funnel. And and most of that money can go through cold audiences. And then have a little bit of that that budget going towards re-targeting the people that you've already interacted with.\r\n\r\nIf you take a look at guys like <a href=\"https://www.samovens.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sam Ovens</a>, for example. Sam Ovens has been able to grow extremely fast and he has one funnel, just one funnel. All of his ads go into this one webinar funnel and he has nothing else. He has one webinar funnel that sells a two thousand dollar ticket item. Then he has an upsell to a six thousand dollar ticket item. And then he's got an upsell to his mastermind program.\r\n\r\nThat's it! That's as simple as his business is. He doesn't have a book funnel. He's doesn't have a challenge funnel. He doesn't have any of these other funnels. It's literally the one webinar funnel. And then once people get through there he has the upsell to the six thousand dollars. Then they go to his $25,000 mastermind or whatever it is. That's it. And he spends a lot of money every single day. He is spending almost a hundred thousand dollars per day on advertising now. That is Facebook, Instagram and Google. All of that money on just one funnel.\r\n\r\nSo when you are trying to start all of these different funnels and scattering your focus you're going to just fail so quickly. Focus on one funnel and don't scatter your advertising budget. Because if you've got $20 going here and $20 going there you're not gonna get enough information and enough data to know which funnel is actually working. Or why it's working or why it's not working. So pick one funnel and then go and put a majority of your advertising budget behind that one funnel.\r\n<h3>Conclusion</h3>\r\nSo those are the five key principles of what to avoid when you're getting start with Facebook Ads.

I would say this is not just for newbies. This mistake is made by intermediate and even some advanced people. And this is something that I struggled with for a long time. Having tracking set up.

Make sure you're tracking and don't just rely on the numbers inside the Facebook ad manager.  Actually make sure that you're tracking.\r\n<h3>Mistake Number 4</h3>\r\nThe number four biggest mistake most people make when it comes to Facebook advertising is once again I'm going to quote <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2TKUOor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stephen R.Covey</a> - they don't begin with the end in mind. They go after likes or leads or whatever it might be. But after they generate the lead they have no idea what they're gonna do with it. This is something that I messed up with about three years ago. When I was kind of really diving into all this stuff is I would go through and I'd run ads. Then I had some low ticket offer of like fifty bucks and I didn't have that full funnel concept set up. Honestly if you're selling just a fifty dollar item with no funnel to follow up you're going to lose money every single time. So you need to have the whole funnel laid out.\r\n\r\nWhat does that look like? Are you gonna be selling them a high ticket item? Are you gonna be taking them through a lot of lower ticket items? If you are a real estate agent are you going and try to book appointments from those leads? And then sell them a home which is gonna be somewhat of a high ticket item? And then make all of that money back. So think about where you are headed with your ads and where you want to take the customer.\r\n\r\nSo that is another big mistake that I see a lot of Facebook advertisers make. They just throw money at Facebook ads thinking that they're gonna magically make money. Because all these guys on YouTube are making money with Facebook Ads. But if you don't begin with the end in mind. And you don't understand the funnel. If you don't understand where you're taking these people. And you don't have that all mapped out. You are once again going to lose money every single time. If you really want to ramp up your advertising results check out this program -&gt;&gt;&gt; \"<a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sense Drill\" by clicking HERE now</a>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"pull-left\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-597\" src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Facebook-Advertising-Costs-300x177.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" /></div><br/>\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n<h3>Mistake Number 5</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSo the fifth and final mistake in <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a> is you don't have a Facebook advertising budget and/or your budget is not targeted.\r\n\r\nSo you have a book funnel. You've got a challenge funnel. And you've got all these different funnels but as you're starting out you don't have this massive advertising budget. You need to focus ninety to ninety five percent of your marketing budget on one single funnel nothing else!\r\n\r\nYou cannot try and follow the \"Big Guns\". They have this massive budget and they have this whole team that can go through and create all of these different funnels. They can test out different offers and it's just way more than you or me could probably go through. So if you only have let's say a hundred dollars a day or a thousand dollars a day or even five thousand dollars a day - focus on one funnel. And and most of that money can go through cold audiences. And then have a little bit of that that budget going towards re-targeting the people that you've already interacted with.\r\n\r\nIf you take a look at guys like <a href=\"https://www.samovens.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sam Ovens</a>, for example. Sam Ovens has been able to grow extremely fast and he has one funnel, just one funnel. All of his ads go into this one webinar funnel and he has nothing else. He has one webinar funnel that sells a two thousand dollar ticket item. Then he has an upsell to a six thousand dollar ticket item. And then he's got an upsell to his mastermind program.\r\n\r\nThat's it! That's as simple as his business is. He doesn't have a book funnel. He's doesn't have a challenge funnel. He doesn't have any of these other funnels. It's literally the one webinar funnel. And then once people get through there he has the upsell to the six thousand dollars. Then they go to his $25,000 mastermind or whatever it is. That's it. And he spends a lot of money every single day. He is spending almost a hundred thousand dollars per day on advertising now. That is Facebook, Instagram and Google. All of that money on just one funnel.\r\n\r\nSo when you are trying to start all of these different funnels and scattering your focus you're going to just fail so quickly. Focus on one funnel and don't scatter your advertising budget. Because if you've got $20 going here and $20 going there you're not gonna get enough information and enough data to know which funnel is actually working. Or why it's working or why it's not working. So pick one funnel and then go and put a majority of your advertising budget behind that one funnel.\r\n<h3>Conclusion</h3>\r\nSo those are the five key principles of what to avoid when you're getting start with Facebook Ads.

I hear what people are focusing on and I see what people really want to go through and accomplish with their businesses. And so I went through and made a list of five different things that people kind of get a little bit backwards when it comes to <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a>. So in order to help you with your business in 2019 and moving forward I want to share these five big mistake with you. This way you can hopefully avoid them and get on the right track with your paid advertising. Because let's face it when you're putting money into your business and investing money into ads and marketing those are very valuable dollars.\r\n\r\nYou can't waste this money! So if we have the wrong of wrong objective, then you're just you're gonna fail from the start. Stephen R. Covey (<a href=\"https://amzn.to/2TKUOor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People</a>) says begin with the end in mind and that is what is needed here. You can have all of the best intentions but if you are making these small mistakes, then you're really not ever going to get to your goal. So let's dive in and go over the five biggest mistakes I see people make when it comes to <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a>.\r\n<h3>Mistake Number 1</h3>\r\nThe first big mistake is concentrating on how many followers you have. People think that the best marketing objective when setting up a Facebook ad campaign is to get more likes and followers. Honestly it really applies to any social media network. Even if you're trying to get more YouTube subscribers or more Instagram followers or any social media. The truth is the money is not in the number of followers that you have. I know several people who have well over a hundred thousand and well over 500 thousand subscribers that make pennies the dollar compared to some people with much smaller channels. And the same thing goes for Instagram,YouTube etc. If you just have a lot of followers but you don't have the business sense, the business savvy on the back-end and know how to actually turn those followers into money then it really doesn't matter.\r\n\r\nIf you have five hundred thousand followers or a million followers on Facebook and don't know how to sell to them then you still have no business. So the key is to really understand how to go through and start generating sales from a small following. That would be much better than first focusing on getting this massive following and then deciding that you are going to make money later. There's not a quicker way that you're going to go broke than focusing on just likes or followers on whatever social network you're trying to build, believe me.\r\n\r\nI talk to a lot of Facebook influencers and it's crazy how they have grown these big followings, but they're still broke because they don't know how to monetize it. They don't know how to sell anything to those people. And so this big old following just really doesn't benefit them whatsoever. So the first biggest mistake is going for likes or followers and having that be your sole focus.\r\n\r\nWhat I would go for instead is building an email list. Because if you're building an email list then you're able to have a way of communicating with them. You will be able to sell things to them much easier. You can even leverage that email list to build your following on Facebook or even YouTube or Instagram. Whatever platform you want to grow.\r\n\r\nThat's exactly what I did. I was only focused on building my email list and then on the back end, after somebody already opted into my email list, I would recommend join, my Facebook group, which I was able to grow to over 7,000 real estate agents in just a few months And then now more recently I've been focused on hey, go subscribe to my youtube channel We've got tons of free content over there and I've been able to grow that to over 20,000 subscribers in the last 12 months Which obviously I get it.\r\n\r\nThere's a lot of chance to grew a whole lot faster than I did. But you know It's a good start and honestly if you look at it I'm able to go through and Using the strategy make a lot more money than some of the channels that might be ten times the size of my channel!\r\n\r\n<div class=\"pull-left\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-595\" src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/facebook-ads-300x143.png\" alt=\"Facebook advertising\" width=\"300\" height=\"143\" /></div><br/>\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n<h3>Mistake Number 2</h3>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe second biggest mistake I see people make with <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a> is not focusing on the right audiences. Now Facebook wants to help you out. They want to give you all of this material to go through to be successful. But by giving you all of this information, all of these different audiences you can target, a lot of times that's what keeps you from actually being successful. Now about a year ago Facebook took away the demographic targeting and everyone freaked out. Everyone was thinking Facebook ads were done, they're dead. Honestly for me and a lot of my friends that spend a lot of money on advertising it really did not faze us at all. The reason is that we are not going through and targeting any of those demographics.\r\n\r\nSo if you were, then you know that it was not a good strategy for your business because now you can't do that targeting. And it is the same with the interests targeting of people, like people interested in basketball or people interested in football or whatever the topic might be. Everyone else is going through and clicking those same things.\r\n\r\nThings like targeting people that are interested in real estate or people interested in making money online or whatever it is. You're fighting with so many other Facebook Advertisers and it's this massive red ocean where you want to create your own blue ocean. So what do you want to do when it comes to targeting specific audiences with your <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a>? You want to focus on building your own custom audiences. Now what is a custom audience? That is anyone that has been a previous client. Maybe they bought some product from you or they have used your service or whatever.\r\n\r\nIt might be anyone that has been a lead. So you have their their phone or email address and you're able to go and give that to Facebook and say here's a list of people that are my potential clients. People that I want to go through and market to. It could be anyone that visits your website, anybody that has interacted with your Facebook page. These are all custom audiences because they've already had interaction with your business. So it's kind of like more of that re-targeting play which is basically advertising like Amazon where you go and check out a product now all of a sudden you're seeing this product all over the place, right?\r\n\r\nSo you're able to do that with your marketing. You're using these custom audiences that you're showing your offers to. This very targeted group as opposed to hey, I want to just target everyone that is real estate agent. That's just too broad of an audience and you're really not going to see that great of results. So what you do is you take this custom audience and then you start to focus on a 1% targeted audience.\r\n\r\nSo the way that works is you go to Facebook and say hey here is my custom audience. Here's all of my leads and I want you to find other people that look just like these leads. So they have the same interests and maybe the same demographics. Even though you can't target by things like financials or if they're a homeowner or anything like that Facebook still knows that data.\r\n\r\nThey still have all this data on everyone so they use this data to go help you create these look alike audiences. So this is the big key when it comes to targeting. Focusing on your custom audiences and then when it comes time to scale you focus on those look-alike audiences. Because in that 1% look-alike audience there are 2 million people inside that audience which is were most business owners advertise. And you really don't need a scale beyond the 1% look-alike audience until you're spending more than $2,000 per day on your advertising. A lot of people don't really ever get to $2,000 per day on your advertisement.

I would say this is not just for newbies. This mistake is made by intermediate and even some advanced people. And this is something that I struggled with for a long time. Having tracking set up. This is about not knowing your numbers. My whole strategy for the last two or three years was saying, I'm going to put X amount into Facebook ads and as long as I'm making money back out, then I'm good, right? So let's say I put a thousand bucks into <a href=\"http://look5.info/sense-drill-review/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook advertising</a> for the week or whatever and then if I made two thousand or three thousand dollars back out then that is perfect.\r\n\r\nSo I made money, I'm good and I'm just going to pocket it. But I wasn't really keeping track of anything. The bad thing about this is it adds a lot of stress. Unneeded stress to your life. Because you just have no idea where you are with your business. The same thing goes if you're trying to lose weight, for example, but you never weigh yourself. You wouldn't know if you are actually losing weight or not. If you're not tracking your calories or you are not actually taking measurements you could go three months and not know if you lost weight. You could've lost ten pounds. But by just looking at yourself in the mirror, you can't really tell that you lost weight or how many pounds.\r\n\r\nSo you have got to measure. You have to track you have to go through on a daily basis and track. How much money did you spend? And how much money did you make? How many leads did you generate? What's the lifetime value of those leads? You have got to have all of this tracking in place! And do it on a day to day basis.\r\n\r\nTracking has been like the biggest revelation to me. It's been so much easier on my mental state and I've been able to be a lot more confident in scaling my ad buys. Scaling my business has been a lot better and it's just brought me a lot more peace of mind.\r\n\r\nHey, don't worry. It's all fine. Just look at the numbers. You still made money, right? So that's the big thing for number three is tracking. Make sure you're tracking and don't just rely on the numbers inside the Facebook ad manager.  Actually make sure that you're tracking.\r\n<h3>Mistake Number 4</h3>\r\nThe number four biggest mistake most people make when it comes to Facebook advertising is once again I'm going to quote <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2TKUOor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stephen R.Covey</a> - they don't begin with the end in mind.

I think when it comes to making money online, most people make it so complicated, right? They make it so many steps, and so many business models, and so many different strategies, and different tactics. Today I'm going to give you some clarity. So seven legit ways to make money online.\r\n\r\n<h3>#1 E-Commerce</h3>\r\n<img src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Ecommerce-300x150.jpeg\" alt=\"make money online\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-535\" /><br/>\r\nWay number one is Ecommerce. I'm referring to selling, let's say on Amazon, Shopify, right? You're selling a a physical product. Maybe you get it from China, you get it from Alibaba, even when you're selling products on eBay. That's the ecommerce business model. It's one of the most profitable business models online. However, it also is the one that requires you the most amount of capital and experience. Now you're dealing with customer service, right? You're building a team, you're fulfilling the product. You are dealing with the image, the photos. You're driving traffic, maybe through search engines. You're doing paid traffic. You are trying to tweak your Ecommerce site so that you get more sales, right? And then maybe you do some affiliate deal.<br><br>But your margins are usually not very very high because you're selling a physical product. A B2C model, business to consumer. So what it means that you need to sell a lot of volume in order to make any significant amount of money, right? \r\n\r\n<h3>#2 Dropshipping</h3>\r\nThe second legit way to make money online is drop shipping. Now what if you don't have a product to sell? What if you don't have a lot of money, a lot of capital to get started, then what do you do? Well drop shipping is another model. There are a lot of people making a decent amount of money with this model. Now with this model, you're basically working with a wholesaler or a distributor. This is where they have all the products and they would do the fulfillment. What you do you, you're actually acting as a marketer, right? You're driving the traffic through social media, email, marketing, your website.<br><br>\r\n\r\nYou can set up like a virtual storefront where you take the order and then you send the order to a wholesaler or a distributor. They then would ship it for you. Typically they would charge you money, and sometimes they charge you kind of a handling fee. It could be $2, $3 or $5. And that's how you make money. Now, your margin is very thin, because you're selling one item at a time. You have to be very careful knowing how much you can spend to acquire each customer and to drive traffic. How much you can spend to acquire each visitor to your website. So your metrics, you have to know very very well. Because you could spend a whole bunch of money, and if you don't make those sales, you're the one that's taking the risk, right? The wholesaler, the distributor, there's no risk for them. They only fulfill a product when you make a sale. So as a marketer with a drop shipping business model, you're the one that's doing all the marketing. You have to front end a lot of marketing costs, and you only get paid after you make a sale.<br><br>\r\n\r\n<h3>#3 Affiliate Marketing</h3>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"pull-right\"><img src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/affiliate-marketing-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Affiliate marketing\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-408\" /></div><br/>The third legit way to make money online is affiliate marketing. I love the affiliate marketing model! That's actually how I made my first fortune on the internet, my first bucket of gold. Now, what's beautiful about the affiliate marketing model is you're acting as a middle person. It doesn't require you to have your own product. You can choose a handful of good products that you believe in, and you don't have to deal with the inventory. You don't have to deal with the fulfillment.<br><br>All you need to focus on is being a good middle person to sell these products online. And you can test different traffic sources. You can do paid traffic or free traffic to drive them to the affiliate offer. And you measure and track the performance and then you'll be able to get a commission check every single month. Even after all these years, until this day, for the work that I did two, three, five, eight years ago as an affiliate marketer, I'm still getting paid. It still provides a nice stream of income for the work that I did so many years ago. So I love the affiliate marketing model, but there's one catch. In order to be a good affiliate marketer, guess what? You have to be a good marketer. You have to know what you're doing in terms of doing online type marketing. You have to know what it is that you are working on.<br><br>It is not an easy thing, but it is easier than other types of ways to make money online. \r\n\r\n<h3>#4 Software as a Service (SaaS)</h3>\r\n\r\nLegit way to make money number four. That is, SAS, or software business. Now, the software business is a huge business online. It is a model that is absolutely scalable if you know what you're doing. You can see companies making millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm talking about like Infusionsoft, it could be ActiveCampaign, it could be GoToMeeting, right? It could be even hosting, tracking software, a software that solves a problem in the marketplace. Now why this is so powerful is because it doesn't matter if you sell that piece of software to one customer or 10,000 customers. It is the same product that gets replicated that many, many, many users can use at the same time. And that's why it's such a powerful business model.<br><br>And when it comes to technology now, you can hire developers. You can hire programmers to develop software for you. The problem is, a software not done right could burn hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even millions of dollars before getting a return. But if you know what you're doing software on the internet absolutely is one of the most powerful ways to make millions of dollars online. \r\n\r\n<h3>#5 Google AdSense</h3> \r\n<div class=\"pull-left\"><img src=\"https://udemy-images.udemy.com/course/750x422/2033566_a743.jpg\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" alt=\"make money online\" class=\"alignleft size-medium\" /></div><br/>Number five is Google AdSense. Now Google AdSense is an advertising program that allows you to run ads on your website or blog or YouTube videos.<br><br>And you get paid when visitors click on them. The ads are generated from businesses that use Google AdWords accounts. Now with Google, you need to have a lot traffic. Maybe you can create some kind of blog, maybe it's a YouTube channel. But you need a lot of visitors to make any significant amount of money. Now the good thing is, it's free to join, right? It doesn't cost you anything to join. But the downside is that you need to create a lot of content in order to create a decent amount of income or to maintain a good income. I have a friend of mine who used to make a ton of money with Google AdSense.<br><br>At his heyday, he was making over a million dollars a year with just AdSense. Now guess how much his blog's making him? Less than $30,000 a year. So, it's one way to make money, but it's not as good as it used to be. \r\n\r\n<h3>#6 Expert Service (e.g. Courses)</h3>\r\n\r\nLegit way to make money online number six is what I call the expert business. Now we're talking about packaging your expertise, your skills, your knowledge, your passion into some kind of a product. I'm talking about online courses, I'm talking about training programs. I'm also talking about services that you could provide. Maybe you are a digital marketer. Or maybe you are running a social media agency.<br><br>If you are doing any type of programs that enhance people's business, enhance people's lives. That's what I call the expert business. \r\n\r\n<h3>#7 YouTube</h3>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"pull-right\"><img src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/youtube-640x360-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"make money online\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-550\" /></div><br/>Number seven, the last legit way to make money online, and that is through YouTube. Now with YouTube, you think about YouTube could put everything together for you. Let's say you have an Ecommerce business. You could create demonstration videos and upload them to YouTube. Then in the description you can drive all the traffic back to your Ecommerce site. You can also do tutorials teaching people how to use your products on YouTube as well. Or if you're in the drop shipping business it is the same thing. You can have various keywords, different types of videos on YouTube that people are searching for right now.<br><br>And they watch the video, they like the product and then click the link. Then the link could go to your website, your virtual storefront and they buy from you. And then when you get an order, you can send that to your wholesaler and they can fulfill the order for you as well. And remember, we also talked about the affiliate marketing business. Now the affiliate marketing business is so competitive, it's not just you as an affiliate promoting that particular offer, that particular product. Here is one of the ways you can make yourself stand out. Instead of just driving traffic to the offer directly  you can drive them to your email list, right? Where you are educating informing your potential buyers, through YouTube, through videos, through content, building that trust. And then once they want to learn more about it, they click on a link, and then they could buy your affiliate offer as well.<br><br>AdSense, you can combine that, obviously, with YouTube because Google owns YouTube. YouTube is using the Google AdSense platform. The expert business, software, if you want to reach a mass market very very quickly, you can easily run ads on YouTube. And giving away maybe a free trial, the \"freemium\" model for your software. From YouTube they can see it. You can reach millions and millions of people just like that. And from there, you can get a lot of users. Even if you want to test out the product. You want to see how they like your software, that's one way to do that. And that's why I think YouTube, if you have a strong YouTube channel, you can combine all these ways of making money into this one thing. If you have a strong YouTube channel you will enhance any of these revenue streams that you have right now. <br><br>\r\n\r\n<strong>I hope you enjoyed this 7 Legit Ways To Make Money Online post.

You have to front end a lot of marketing costs, and you only get paid after you make a sale.<br><br>\r\n\r\n<h3>#3 Affiliate Marketing</h3>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"pull-right\"><img src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/affiliate-marketing-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Affiliate marketing\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-408\" /></div><br/>The third legit way to make money online is affiliate marketing. I love the affiliate marketing model! That's actually how I made my first fortune on the internet, my first bucket of gold. Now, what's beautiful about the affiliate marketing model is you're acting as a middle person. It doesn't require you to have your own product. You can choose a handful of good products that you believe in, and you don't have to deal with the inventory. You don't have to deal with the fulfillment.<br><br>All you need to focus on is being a good middle person to sell these products online. And you can test different traffic sources. You can do paid traffic or free traffic to drive them to the affiliate offer. And you measure and track the performance and then you'll be able to get a commission check every single month. Even after all these years, until this day, for the work that I did two, three, five, eight years ago as an affiliate marketer, I'm still getting paid. It still provides a nice stream of income for the work that I did so many years ago. So I love the affiliate marketing model, but there's one catch. In order to be a good affiliate marketer, guess what? You have to be a good marketer. You have to know what you're doing in terms of doing online type marketing. You have to know what it is that you are working on.<br><br>It is not an easy thing, but it is easier than other types of ways to make money online. \r\n\r\n<h3>#4 Software as a Service (SaaS)</h3>\r\n\r\nLegit way to make money number four. That is, SAS, or software business. Now, the software business is a huge business online. It is a model that is absolutely scalable if you know what you're doing. You can see companies making millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm talking about like Infusionsoft, it could be ActiveCampaign, it could be GoToMeeting, right? It could be even hosting, tracking software, a software that solves a problem in the marketplace. Now why this is so powerful is because it doesn't matter if you sell that piece of software to one customer or 10,000 customers. It is the same product that gets replicated that many, many, many users can use at the same time. And that's why it's such a powerful business model.<br><br>And when it comes to technology now, you can hire developers. You can hire programmers to develop software for you. The problem is, a software not done right could burn hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even millions of dollars before getting a return. But if you know what you're doing software on the internet absolutely is one of the most powerful ways to make millions of dollars online. \r\n\r\n<h3>#5 Google AdSense</h3> \r\n<div class=\"pull-left\"><img src=\"https://udemy-images.udemy.com/course/750x422/2033566_a743.jpg\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" alt=\"make money online\" class=\"alignleft size-medium\" /></div><br/>Number five is Google AdSense. Now Google AdSense is an advertising program that allows you to run ads on your website or blog or YouTube videos.<br><br>And you get paid when visitors click on them. The ads are generated from businesses that use Google AdWords accounts. Now with Google, you need to have a lot traffic. Maybe you can create some kind of blog, maybe it's a YouTube channel. But you need a lot of visitors to make any significant amount of money. Now the good thing is, it's free to join, right? It doesn't cost you anything to join. But the downside is that you need to create a lot of content in order to create a decent amount of income or to maintain a good income. I have a friend of mine who used to make a ton of money with Google AdSense.<br><br>At his heyday, he was making over a million dollars a year with just AdSense. Now guess how much his blog's making him? Less than $30,000 a year. So, it's one way to make money, but it's not as good as it used to be. \r\n\r\n<h3>#6 Expert Service (e.g. Courses)</h3>\r\n\r\nLegit way to make money online number six is what I call the expert business. Now we're talking about packaging your expertise, your skills, your knowledge, your passion into some kind of a product. I'm talking about online courses, I'm talking about training programs. I'm also talking about services that you could provide. Maybe you are a digital marketer. Or maybe you are running a social media agency.<br><br>If you are doing any type of programs that enhance people's business, enhance people's lives. That's what I call the expert business. \r\n\r\n<h3>#7 YouTube</h3>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"pull-right\"><img src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/youtube-640x360-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"make money online\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-550\" /></div><br/>Number seven, the last legit way to make money online, and that is through YouTube. Now with YouTube, you think about YouTube could put everything together for you. Let's say you have an Ecommerce business. You could create demonstration videos and upload them to YouTube. Then in the description you can drive all the traffic back to your Ecommerce site. You can also do tutorials teaching people how to use your products on YouTube as well. Or if you're in the drop shipping business it is the same thing. You can have various keywords, different types of videos on YouTube that people are searching for right now.<br><br>And they watch the video, they like the product and then click the link. Then the link could go to your website, your virtual storefront and they buy from you. And then when you get an order, you can send that to your wholesaler and they can fulfill the order for you as well. And remember, we also talked about the affiliate marketing business. Now the affiliate marketing business is so competitive, it's not just you as an affiliate promoting that particular offer, that particular product. Here is one of the ways you can make yourself stand out. Instead of just driving traffic to the offer directly  you can drive them to your email list, right? Where you are educating informing your potential buyers, through YouTube, through videos, through content, building that trust. And then once they want to learn more about it, they click on a link, and then they could buy your affiliate offer as well.<br><br>AdSense, you can combine that, obviously, with YouTube because Google owns YouTube. YouTube is using the Google AdSense platform. The expert business, software, if you want to reach a mass market very very quickly, you can easily run ads on YouTube. And giving away maybe a free trial, the \"freemium\" model for your software. From YouTube they can see it. You can reach millions and millions of people just like that. And from there, you can get a lot of users. Even if you want to test out the product. You want to see how they like your software, that's one way to do that. And that's why I think YouTube, if you have a strong YouTube channel, you can combine all these ways of making money into this one thing. If you have a strong YouTube channel you will enhance any of these revenue streams that you have right now. <br><br>\r\n\r\n<strong>I hope you enjoyed this 7 Legit Ways To Make Money Online post.

I think when it comes to making money online, most people make it so complicated, right? They make it so many steps, and so many business models, and so many different strategies, and different tactics. Today I'm going to give you some clarity. So seven legit ways to make money online.\r\n\r\n<h3>#1 E-Commerce</h3>\r\n<img src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Ecommerce-300x150.jpeg\" alt=\"make money online\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-535\" /><br/>\r\nWay number one is Ecommerce. I'm referring to selling, let's say on Amazon, Shopify, right? You're selling a a physical product. Maybe you get it from China, you get it from Alibaba, even when you're selling products on eBay. That's the ecommerce business model. It's one of the most profitable business models online. However, it also is the one that requires you the most amount of capital and experience. Now you're dealing with customer service, right? You're building a team, you're fulfilling the product. You are dealing with the image, the photos. You're driving traffic, maybe through search engines. You're doing paid traffic. You are trying to tweak your Ecommerce site so that you get more sales, right? And then maybe you do some affiliate deal.<br><br>But your margins are usually not very very high because you're selling a physical product. A B2C model, business to consumer. So what it means that you need to sell a lot of volume in order to make any significant amount of money, right? \r\n\r\n<h3>#2 Dropshipping</h3>\r\nThe second legit way to make money online is drop shipping. Now what if you don't have a product to sell? What if you don't have a lot of money, a lot of capital to get started, then what do you do? Well drop shipping is another model. There are a lot of people making a decent amount of money with this model. Now with this model, you're basically working with a wholesaler or a distributor. This is where they have all the products and they would do the fulfillment. What you do you, you're actually acting as a marketer, right? You're driving the traffic through social media, email, marketing, your website.<br><br>\r\n\r\nYou can set up like a virtual storefront where you take the order and then you send the order to a wholesaler or a distributor. They then would ship it for you. Typically they would charge you money, and sometimes they charge you kind of a handling fee. It could be $2, $3 or $5. And that's how you make money. Now, your margin is very thin, because you're selling one item at a time. You have to be very careful knowing how much you can spend to acquire each customer and to drive traffic. How much you can spend to acquire each visitor to your website. So your metrics, you have to know very very well. Because you could spend a whole bunch of money, and if you don't make those sales, you're the one that's taking the risk, right? The wholesaler, the distributor, there's no risk for them. They only fulfill a product when you make a sale. So as a marketer with a drop shipping business model, you're the one that's doing all the marketing. You have to front end a lot of marketing costs, and you only get paid after you make a sale.<br><br>\r\n\r\n<h3>#3 Affiliate Marketing</h3>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"pull-right\"><img src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/affiliate-marketing-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Affiliate marketing\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-408\" /></div><br/>The third legit way to make money online is affiliate marketing.

You can do paid traffic or free traffic to drive them to the affiliate offer. And you measure and track the performance and then you'll be able to get a commission check every single month. Even after all these years, until this day, for the work that I did two, three, five, eight years ago as an affiliate marketer, I'm still getting paid. It still provides a nice stream of income for the work that I did so many years ago. So I love the affiliate marketing model, but there's one catch.

So, it's one way to make money, but it's not as good as it used to be. \r\n\r\n<h3>#6 Expert Service (e.g. Courses)</h3>\r\n\r\nLegit way to make money online number six is what I call the expert business.

      "body": "<center><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-387\" src=\"http://bestorganicfoodnearme.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/benefits-of-organic-food-300x136.jpg\" alt=\"best organic food near me\" width=\"300\" height=\"136\" /></center>\n<h3>Why Eat Organic Food? - Benefits Of Organic Food</h3>\n&nbsp;\n\nHello everyone we're going to talk about organic and <a href=\"http://bestorganicfoodnearme.com\">organic foods</a>. Should you be eating them? What's the effect of GMO and the different types of farming practices? I think organic is a really healthy way to live. Coming at you with why you should be eating organic foods, check it out. Alright so what this post is about is, should I be eating organic? What is organic food? What is real food? Should you be eating organic? What does organic mean?\n\nSimply stated, organic produce and other foods are grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizer, sewage sludge, or genetically modified organisms. Plus no ionizing radiation. Animals that produce meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products do not take antibiotics or growth hormones are considered organic. Now the USDA has defined organic as the following: organic food that is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations.\n\nOrganic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides, fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge. Before a product can be labeled organic, a government approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown. They make sure that the farmer is following all of the rules necessary to meet the USDA Organic Standards. Companies that handle or process organic foods before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurants must be certified too.\n\n<h3>What About The Cost</h3>\n\nSo do organic foods cost more? The truth of the matter is that organic food doesn't always cost more. Some items such as coffee, cereal, bread and even hamburger may cost the same or even a little bit less than their conventional counterparts. And as demand for organic continues to grow, the costs will continue to come down. When the cost is higher, consider these facts: organic farmers don't receive federal subsidies like conventional farmers do, therefore, the price of organic food reflects the true cost of growing.\n\nThe price of conventional food does not reflect the cost of environment clean ups that we pay through our tax dollars. Plus organic farming is more labor in management intensive. Organic farms are usually smaller than conventional farms. So they do not benefit from the economies of scale that larger growers get. So organic foods, they may be more nutritional and my favorite way to describe organic foods is it's intuitive, that the least amount of chemicals and synthetics that you can have on your food, the healthier that your foods are.\n<h3>Benefits of Eating Organic</h3>\n<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-98\" src=\"http://bestorganicfoodnearme.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Organic-Food-Near-Me.jpe\" alt=\"Best organic food near me\" width=\"260\" height=\"194\" />\nNow one of the benefits of eating organic is that it helps you to avoid chemicals. Eating organically grown foods is the only way to avoid the cocktail of chemical poisons present in the commercially grown foods. More than 600 active chemicals are registered for agriculture in America. That takes us to the tune of billions of pounds annually. And the average application equates to about 16 pounds of chemical pesticides per person per year. Now a pesticide is a poison, it's designed to kill bugs, we're just bigger bugs. So intuitively, I feel that eating healthy and organic is going to help you. Some of the studies suggest that there's benefit for organic foods, some of the studies suggest there's no benefit but I believe it's a healthier lifestyle.\n\nNow the National Academy of Sciences reports that 90% of many of the chemicals that were approved by the EPA before extensive dietary testing have not been tested for long-term health benefits before they were deemed safe. Further the FDA tests only about 1% of the foods for pesticide residues. And the most dangerous and toxic pesticides require special testing methods which are rarely if ever employed by the FDA.\n\nSo another of the benefits of eating organic is that there are more nutrients. Organically grown foods have more nutrients, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and the micro-nutrients. And it's interesting if you'll take organic food versus non-organic food, and perhaps it's in my mind, but it really seems like it tastes better. That is because it's grown in soil that is managed and nourished with sustainable practices by people with responsible standards.\n\n<img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-390\" src=\"http://bestorganicfoodnearme.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Organic-VS-Non-organic-245x300.jpg\" alt=\"best organic food near me\" width=\"245\" height=\"300\" />\n<h3>Organic VS Non Organic</h3>\nThe Journal of Alternative Accomplished Medicine conducted a review of 41 published studies and compared the nutritional value of organically grown and conventionally grown fruits and vegetables. They concluded there are significantly more of several nutrients in organic foods and crops. Furthermore, the study verifies that five servings of organically grown vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, carrots, potatoes, and cabbage provide an adequate allowance of vitamin C. But, the same number of servings of conventionally grown vegetables do not.\n\nOn average, organically grown foods provide 21% more iron, 27% more vitamin C, 29.3% more magnesium, 13% more phosphorus and they seem to taste better. Now they don't always look as big. And they don't look as beautiful but the organic foods generally taste better. Because they are nourished, well-balanced, the soil products are healthy and they are strong plants. This is especially true with heirloom varieties which are cultivated for taste over appearance.\n<h3>GMO - Genetically Modified Organisms</h3>\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-385\" src=\"http://bestorganicfoodnearme.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gmo-foods-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"best organic food near me\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" />\nNow eating organic helps us to avoid GMO foods or genetically engineered and genetically modified organisms are contaminating our food supply at an alarming rate. Now this is my personal opinion. I've had some very educated people say GMO foods are not nearly the culprit that everybody says they are. But it would be better to eat organically because organically grown food cannot be genetically modified in any way. Choosing organic foods is the only way to be sure that the foods that have been genetically engineered stay out of your diet.\n\nSo here's what you need to know about GMO foods. One, avoid hormones, antibiotics and drugs and animal products because those antibiotics and drugs go through the food supply and they can get into you. This will throw you into hormone imbalance and make you more susceptible for chronic infection. Conventional meat and dairy are highest risk foods for contamination by these harmful substances! More than 90% of the pesticides that Americans consume are found in the fat and tissues of meat and dairy products.\n<h3>Pesticide Intake</h3>\n<img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-389\" src=\"http://bestorganicfoodnearme.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/organic-and-pesticide-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"best organic food near me\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\nNow the EPA reports that the majority of pesticide intake comes from meat and dairy products because all of these are high up in the food chain. For instance, a large fish that eats a smaller fish that eats even a smaller fish accumulates all of the toxins in that chain especially in the fatty tissues. Cows, chickens, and pigs are fed animal parts and byproducts, fish meal and grains that are heavily and collectively laden with toxins and chemicals. Now lower fat animal products are less dangerous as the toxic chemicals are accumulated and concentrated in fatty tissues, so lean meats are healthier.\n<h3>Antibiotics, Drugs and Growth Hormones</h3>\nAntibiotics, drugs and growth hormones are directly passed into the meat and dairy products. And tens of millions of pounds of antibiotics are used in animal feed every year. The Union of Concerned Scientists estimates roughly 70% of antibiotics produced in the United States are fed to animals for non therapeutic purposes. Farmers have been giving sex hormones and growth hormones to cattle to artificially increase the amount of meat and milk the cattle produce without requiring extra feed.\n\nThe hormones fed to the cows cannot be broken down even at higher temperatures. Therefore, they remain in complete form and pass directly to us, the consumer, in the diet when the meat is eaten. So hormone supplementation is a big concern with beef and dairy products and farmed fish. In the United States the jury's still out. But in Europe the scientific community agrees that there's no acceptable safe level for the daily intake. And many of the hormones currently used in the United States and subsequently banned in all growth hormones.\n<h3>Major Concerns</h3>\nThe majority concerns for US consumers include the early onset of puberty, growth of tumors, heightened cancer risks, and genetic problems. And growth hormones are genetically modified and had been directly linked to cancer especially in women. So many scientists and experts warn that the rampant use of antibiotics and growth hormones in animal feed plus things like penicillin and tetracycline are going to breed an epidemic of medicine that there's really no defense against in the conventional medical world.\n\nNow Dr. Almond, a senior scientist at the National Defense Resources states that perhaps one of the most serious public health problems the country faces is the over-utilization of antibiotics, growth hormone, and animal parts in our food supply. We're talking about rendering many of the most important antibiotics against disease ineffective. We need to be choosing organic animal products especially for children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers. We need to limit that as best as possible.\n\n<h3>Ecosystems</h3>\n\nChoosing organic helps preserve our ecosystems because organic farming supports the ecosystems in a farming harmony with nature. The preservation of soil crops and rotations is extremely important and the chemical abstinence preserves the ecosystem. It helps with wildlife, insects, birds, and soil organisms that normally can't function with conventional farming practices. Now eating organic helps to reduce pollution and protects water contaminating our environment. And poisoning our precious water supplies and destroying the value of the fertile farmland. Certified organic standards do not permit the use of toxic chemicals in farming. And the require responsibility for management of healthy soil and biodiversity.\n\nAccording to Cornell entomologist, David Peniel, it is estimated that 0.1% of the applied pesticides reached the target pass. The bulk of them were left to impact the environment. And if we preserve the agricultural diversity, the rampant loss of species occurring is a huge environmental concern. It is estimated that 75% of the genetic diversity of agricultural crops have been lost in the last century. Leaning heavily on one of the varieties of a given food is a formulation for devastation. Every year, American tax dollars subsidize billions of dollars for a farm bill that heavily favors commercial agribusiness. And peeling back another layer of the modern farming union reveals that the price tag cannot be accurately measured. Plus it certainly includes other detrimental associated costs as health problems. Also environmental damage and the loss and extinction of wildlife in ecology.\n\n<h3>Conclusion</h3>\n\nYou can keep your children's and your future health by putting money into organic. Our mouths are in a more powerful position to take back the one trillion dollar food industry market in America. Spending dollars in the organic sector is a direct vote for the sustainable future for many generations to come. Now I think eating organic is healthy, is sustainable and it's good for the ecology. It really helps to prevent autoimmune and chronic diseases. The healthier and alive your food is, the more natural your food is, the healthier your life and the more natural you'll be.\n\nI hope you enjoyed this benefits of organic foods post.

      "title": "How To Leash Train Your Puppy Or Dog",
      "body": "<center><img class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Leash-Train-Your-Puppy.jpg\" alt=\"How To Leash Train Your Puppy\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" /></center>\n<h3><strong>Leash Training Your Puppy or Dog</strong></h3>\nHow to get your dog to stop pulling on a leash. So many people struggle with walking their dog, right? I'm going to give you 6 things, 6 very basic small things, that will help any owner and any dog master this very easily. We're not going to use any tools no prong collars, no e-collars. This is so very simple that anyone can conquer this very important task.\n<h3><strong>Getting Out The Door</strong></h3>\n<strong>1.)</strong> The first thing you have to conquer is going out the door. Give your puppy plenty of space and don't ask for anything. All that you need is for them to respect that space. So that means when the door opens they are not to blow through it. They should respect your space and relax and then you can move forward. That is number one! If you come blowing through the door with your dog you fail right there. You're not ready to move ahead to walking, you have to conquer that first.\n<h3><strong>Verbal Markers and Release Commands</strong></h3>\n<strong>2.)</strong> Now the second thing that you need is a release word or marker. Some people use clickers but I use verbal markers like a lot of people do. So for the people that know nothing about dog training what that means is you either use a clicker or a verbal marker. Some examples of verbal markers are sit, stay, heal, stop. no, etc. You ask your puppy to do something using your verbal marker, they do it and then you follow with the reward.\n\n<center><img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Dog-consantly-running-away.jpg\" alt=\"leash train your puppy or dog\" width=\"509\" height=\"236\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2236\" /></center><br>\nThe release marker is also very important. You won't believe how many people I work with that don't have a release command for their dog. It's very important that your dog knows when they are to be in command. But it's also important that they know when they don't have to be in command. Commonly used release words are “okay,” “break,” and “free.”. It makes things very confusing when you don't have that release command. Use a reward marker and a release command.\n<h3><strong>Leash Pressure</strong></h3>\n<strong>3.)</strong> The next thing we have to talk about is the dog has to understand leash pressure. What I mean by leash pressure is straight line please pressure. Your puppy has to learn how to yield to leash pressure. When I say straight line I mean you put it flat, parallel to the ground,and you apply a little pressure pulling toward you and they move toward you with the pressure. That's very light pressure moving them. I know that's very basic and very simple but you'd be amazed on how many people don't teach leash pressure and the dog has to understand it.\n<h3><strong>Turnabouts</strong></h3>\n<strong>4.)</strong> Number four is turnabouts or 180's. What that means is if your dog is on your left, which they're going to be, you are going to turn 180 degrees away from the dog. So you are going turn to the right and go the other way. One of two things are going to happen. Either your dog is going keep going and when they get to the end of the leash they will feel the tension and turn and catch up to you. That's a good thing, that's what we want.\n\nThe other thing that may happen is the social pressure of staying with you will cause them to turn around. Just practice turning walking up and down the street. Turn in a 180 degrees away from the dog get them to follow you whether it's the leash helping or them seeing your body going the other way and they just follow. Both are very beneficial!\n<h3><strong>Follow The Left Leg</strong></h3>\n<strong>5.)</strong> Next we have to teach the dog to follow the left leg. We want them along the left leg and only moving when the left leg moves. The easiest way to do that is to break it down into little baby steps. In order to show them what we mean by sticking by the left leg you move your right leg and you don't want them moving. You want them moving with your left foot. Step slowly moving your right leg and make sure that your puppy doesn't move. Now step with your left and have them move with you. Just repeat these slow steps and have your puppy move only when you move your left leg. Continue until they only move with your left leg.\n<h3><strong>Taking Left Turns</strong></h3>\n<strong>6.)</strong> The last thing is very, very effective and I never see anyone do this. It creates incredible results very fast. So a lot of people know that when they practice taking left turns they turn into the dog. The dog is at your left and you make a left turn into them and what happens is you wind up bumping the dog. So this method is a lot better than just making a left turn into them. What you're going do now is as you are walking turn 180 degrees all the way around like earlier.\n\nBut this time not away from the dog but make a left 180 degrees into the dog. But most importantly is you take your right leg and swing it all the way around emphatically. What happens is the dog follows and is gonna stick to the left leg and it starts working on that rear end awareness where they start turning into it. So you are going swing the right leg and have the dog follow the left leg. Practice this over and over and it won't be long before your dog is turning with with ease.\n\n<center><img src=\"http://puppyblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/puppy.jpg\" alt=\"leash train a puppy or dog\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2413\" /></center>\n<h3><strong>A Couple Of Tools</strong></h3>\nThe e collar and prong collar. The prong collar works on the concept that evenly applied pressure is gentler and more effective on a dog's neck than the quick jerk and impact of a choke chain. Also the steady, relentless pressure of a flat collar or muzzling and constant pull of a gentle-leader. The <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2C1noqF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">E Collar</a> is a remote dog training system that usually consists of a wireless remote and a wireless receiver. <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2C1noqF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">E Collars</a> allow you to remotely send signals to your dog to help them understand \"good behavior\" and \"bad behavior.\" If you start yanking the wrong way on a prong collar or you start hitting wrong buttons on the e-collar what you are doing right from the start is creating conflict.\n<h5><strong><a href=\"https://amzn.to/2INsdtE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Prong Collar</a></strong></h5>\nConflict is the biggest enemy in dog training. What a lot of people do is they put the <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2INsdtE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prong collar</a> on the dog the dog falls and they start yanking. That's not how the <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2INsdtE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prong collar</a> is supposed to be used. And that's why they're always in the spotlight as a negative tool. But if you go through these 6 things and the dog understands leash pressure then the <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2INsdtE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prong collar</a> works wonderfully. With that I mean just fantastic it makes it very easy and effortless.\n<h5><strong><a href=\"https://amzn.to/2C1noqF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The E Collar</a></strong></h5>\nThe same thing with the <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2C1noqF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">e collar</a>. Don't put an <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2C1noqF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">e collar</a> on a dog if he has to be trained properly with it. How I do it is you go for a walk the dog starts forging and they're pulling out. By using very little leash pressure just a tap tap on the <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2C1noqF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">e collar</a> and the dog will fix themselves. The dog won't even need leash pressure. If they start pulling ahead of you and they have their <a href=\"https://amzn.to/2C1noqF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">e collar</a> on you just tap, tap they are going to fix themselves. It makes it effortless and the structured walk is the most important train training tool we have in dog training. It's so beneficial and so effective and can create so many well-behaved dogs in the household for anybody. Every person and every dog on the planet should be capable of the most simplest form of dog training and what comes natural to a dog.\n<h3><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3>\nSo what it does all of this mean? If you can master these things it creates happy owners and happy dogs.\n\nYou have to master the structured walk. The structured walk again is walking at your side, you're relaxed and there's no tension. The dog is relaxed and their one job is to follow you. There's no sniffing, there's no pain, there's no stopping, there's no fixating on anything. It's just a very natural beautiful walk, very therapeutic for both you and your dog.\n\nThe release command is so important. Find a spot where you want your dog to be a free dog and let them be. You release your dog and now they know they no longer have to be in command. They can go do all their doggy things like pee on things for example. They can be a dog and that's very, very important. This kind of simple stuff keeps dogs in the home and out of the shelters because everyone is happy. It keeps dogs and owners happy. It is the most effective training tool we have and it's not being utilized. You have got to utilize this piece of advice.\n\n<b><h5>If you've got a new puppy, and you want to continue to see great dog training content, <a href=\"https://affiliates.trainpetdog.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=bumpersdad_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here</a> to get access to FREE online seminars and a FREE Puppy Training Course.</b></h5><br>\n\nI hope you enjoyed this puppy leash training post.

      "body": "<center><img src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/4-ways-make-money-on-amazon-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"make money with amazon\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-518\" />\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>4 Ways to Make Money With Amazon</strong></h3></center>\n\nDid you know that there are actually four ways to make money with Amazon? Most of you are probably familiar with their affiliate program. But there are three other ways that involve eCommerce, website advertising (or ads) video and, believe it or not, t-shirts. What I'm going to do in this post is go over all of the options. So let's get started!\n<h3><b>1.) FBA or Fulfillment by Amazon</b></h3>\n<img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-496\" src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Make-Money-With-Amazon-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"make money with amazon\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" /> The first option is one that's been picking up a lot of steam lately and it's called Amazon FBA or Fulfillment by Amazon. How FBA works is that you decide what you want to sell and then Amazon packages and ships it to your customers. They ship the products to your customers and I've created a simple graphic here that better explains how it works.\n\n\n\nYou store products in Amazon's fulfillment centers. These centers are popping up everywhere! There's one literally five minutes from my house. When a customer makes an order Amazon packages and delivers the product from the fulfillment center. And products that are eligible for Amazon Prime will be shipped in two days with free shipping! So when you see that Amazon Prime or when you're ordering something with your Prime membership that's what is happening.\n<h4><strong>The Key To FBA</strong></h4>\nNow the key to making this work is number one figuring out what to sell. There are even tools out there that will help you do the research and discover what people search for on Amazon.com. You also have to decide how much storage space you need. You do have to pay for that space so there's definitely a learning curve to making this work. And while there are people making five figures per month with Amazon FBA there's still a lot of trial and error. Plus it takes money to make money especially with Amazon FBA. Rob Cubbon has a very good article that documents his experience with Amazon FBA. So check it out <a href=\"https://robcubbon.com/amazon-fba-business-profit/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE</a>.\n\nI mention Rob's article because I love it when internet marketers keep it real about what it takes to be successful. A lot of people act like making money online is all about unicorns, rainbows and bubblegum and it's not. It's work and don't let anyone tell you differently. If it were that easy everyone in your family and all of your friends would be full or part-time entrepreneurs. I mean who doesn't want to work in their PJs right? So even if that money is just investing in your website you still have to be prepared to invest time and money.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h3><b>2.) Amazon Associate or Affiliate Program</b></h3>\n<img src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/make-money-with-amazonmake-money-with-ith-amazon-linksmake-money-with-amazon-from-homemake-money-with-amazon-253x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-516\" />The second option to make money with Amazon is what most of you are probably familiar with and that's the Amazon associate or affiliate program. So how this program works. You link to Amazon products in your blog posts or your web pages and when somebody buys you get a commission. How does Amazon know somebody bought through you? Your links have tracking IDs in them. All of this is automated. It's not like it's someone sitting in a basement tracking the sales with a button or anything like that. All of this is automated and this is called affiliate marketing and it's my favorite way to earn online.\n\nNow Amazon's commissions are pretty low and they start around 3% but Amazon is very very trustworthy. It's just a brand that people trust and they tend to buy way more than you recommend so that will help with your sales totals. About 70% of my earnings come from random products that I didn't promote. Just to give you a point of reference to make $522 I had to generate over 10,000 clicks and 380 orders. But I use Amazon because there aren't affiliate programs anywhere else for these products so it's better than earning nothing.\n\nAmazon also pays you when people sign up for their free services like Amazon Prime trials and that's where $33 of my $522 came from last month. Bounty's means those are Amazon's free trial services generally they also reward you for the volume of sales. The more you sell the higher your affiliate Commission goes and the higher your affiliate percentage goes. So making money with Amazon is all about volume. If you want to join go to <a href=\"https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affiliate-program.amazon.com</a> and you must have a website also.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h3><b>3.) Amazon Video Direct</b></h3>\n<img src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Amazon-Video-Direct-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"make money with amazon\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-521\" />The third way that you can make money with Amazon is Amazon Video Direct. This was created to rival the YouTube Partner Program. But I've honestly not heard many success stories coming from this method. The way that it works is you upload videos, movie shorts and or courses and you earn royalties based on how many times your videos are streamed and how your video is accessed. For example you can make your videos available for free to people who are Amazon Prime members and make royalties on the views.\n\nNow unlike YouTube they have very specific quality guidelines for uploads and your videos must have a closed caption script. And if you don't know how to create a closed caption script for video there are services out there like <a href=\"https://www.rev.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rev.com</a> that charge one dollar for every minute of the video. They have a very very quick turnaround. I did use them once and it worked out very, very well. Just to test it out I uploaded one video a few months ago and so far this week, get ready, I earned a whopping 12 cents!\n\n&nbsp;\n\nLook out y'all if I upload just four thousand videos or so I'll be set. But honestly I think it's about figuring out what types of videos work best and being in the right niche. You have to remember people browse Amazon much differently than they browse YouTube so certain topics may perform better than others. You just have to test go to <a href=\"https://videodirect.amazon.com/home/landing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VideoDirect.Amazon.com</a> to learn more about it.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h3><b>4.) Merch by Amazon</b></h3>\n<img src=\"http://look5.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/merchlogo_large-1-300x146.png\" alt=\"how to make money with amazon\" width=\"300\" height=\"146\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-525\" />The last way you can earn with Amazon is through a program called Merch by Amazon. Merch is short for merchandise and it is very very similar to <a href=\"https://www.spreadshirt.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SpreadShirt</a>. You upload a design that you create in Photoshop or whatever, add it to a shirt and when it's sold you get a royalty. Amazon handles all the printing and the shipping you just focus on the designs. The biggest difference from all the other print-on-demand sites is you have to get approved for the program and it could take up to 12 months or more.\n\nI submitted an application about two months ago and I haven't heard anything yet. But one of my friends just told me that she was accepted after four and a half months. So it definitely varies. She also mentioned that they were backlogged with all of their submissions so hopefully they're going to get a little bit more speedy with that. If you're an aspiring graphic designer and want to make some passive income then apply to Merch by Amazon by clicking here &gt; <a href=\"https://merch.amazon.com/landing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Merch by Amazon</a>. Also check out Spreadshirt if you are into designing your own T-shirts.\n\nThat's it ladies and gents!
