Doggie Heart

This is an exercise that supplements the techniques that I have presented on this topic already. It is not by any means a conclusive, end-all solution to stop leash-pulling. However, after having worked through everything else mentioned in my other videos on teaching loose leash walking, I find that a lot of dogs learn very quickly with this approach that they must not pull if they want to continue the walk. It is important to note however, that using food as a reward after every ’roundabout’ may cause some dogs to pull just so they can come around for a reward. Using food rewards occasionally should eliminate this problem.

This lays the foundation for a lot of different things in Dog Training. You can use this when guests come over and you need the dog to wait politely before they are greeted, or to provide the comfort of something familiar in a new environment. Once a dog understands the mat to be a positive place, they can experience physiological relaxation in places that may have otherwise been ‘scary’ or ‘over-arousing’.

I use this very frequently on a daily basis with Solea. She waits on her bed everyday as I prepare and serve her meal. In fact, often times she will go to it by herself as a way of telling me that it’s getting close to dinner time!

I also send her to her mat while I gather the things before we go out for practice, work or walks. This assures her that if she remains calm, good things will happen!

When it comes search engines, google is still the king, and they are doing everything they can to maintain their lead,   the reason cited is that google wanted to provide more relevant results, google engineers published blog post which indicated there were 11.8% organic search results will be affected, put it this way, almost 12% of google search results are useless or of low quality. The update was initiated more than a year ago, maybe that’s why some of my ranks dropped out of first 10 pages, but almost all the ranks promoted by articles and blog posts were not affected, and a few of them even gained a few positions, it’s obvious that linking campaign the old way is the thing of past, probably due to links crammed sites being downgraded by google.

What is old way of link building any way? a large percentage of SEO firms will do this,  they put your links on websites which only exist for holding links, these websites will only be updated when new links are being added, it’s safe to assume all of them are trash, the name link spamming are just for these sites. New google algorithm most likely will punish these link spammers,  any links on them will be affected too. 

Examples will be great for explanation. In the very beginning, I didn’t know better, I started with this keyword, Towing Chain, of course with old way of link building, lately I figured that every site in the campaign had way too many links, and those sites had only links, no real content at all. This strategy worked in the beginning, finally the rank improved a lot, the party was over when google updated it’s algorithm. Here is another keyword, chain puller , we promoted this keyword with articles and blog posts, almost no plain links, now we have really good ranking for this keyword. So contextual link wins this time, what about future? In fact the only thing matters here is content, as long as you dole out high quality content, not only people will love to read your stuff, so do the search engines. It’s never too late to build good blogs for business purpose, for instance let’s examine this one, top smartphone , in the beginning I just post to it casually, lately I added nice stuff left and right, the result? I got nice ranking for a few realy nice keywords now. As far as SEO concerned, quality article marketing is much better than plain link building. Say you’re building your own bogging network, such as Chain Hoists, then it will be easier to do article marketing.

Remember content is king, you just need to create content, share the content with people, in the mean time advertise your business with your content, as long as you don’t stop doing this, you will win over customers and search engines. The virtues, persistence and patience, are essential for your success, nothing will automatically improve overnight, it doesn’t matter you’re doing SEO or advertising your business, now all we need to do is to give our love for creating and sharing nice content and not to worry about the ranking every day. Ezine is one of the best article directories out there, new article will be indexed within an hour if not minutes, and some popular blogs will get your post indexed in minutes, there venues are ideal for promoting your site, I believe you should see for yourself, for instance, Car Mover , good writing, interesting content, indexed and cached, all these points make it perfect for SEO.

By the way, we have hot social media now, no one can afford to not using them. One thing you can do for your blogs is to install twitter tools, sign up for a twitter account and create a new application, link your blog to twitter, then every new post on your blog will show up in your twitter page, it’s easy and really useful, it’s a big loss if you don’t use this tool.

You know a person is bored when you see this come up. I have some Chihuahuas but as any dog/cat owner knows, they can cost a lot, what with the food and vet bills. I used to have my vet do the usual teeth cleaning every year or two but the cost to have it done was more then I wanted to pay. I started this as an experiment to see if brushing would work and save my some dollars and also help with the dogs teeth, and overall health, it does. I have my dogs checked several times a year and like always they check the teeth too but, I’ve been doing this for about 3 or 4 years now and my vet is tickled pink at how nice their teeth are just by me taking a few minutes every other day to brush their teeth. I mentioned that she don’t get the money for it but she (my vet) said the trade off is well worth it. They will have to get their teeth cleaned by the vet eventually (maybe this year yet) but it’s been 3 (or so) years now and their teeth are still looking good and best of all, I’ve saved hundreds by doing this. I use an electric toothbrush mainly but I have one (adopted, came from a bad home) that does not like it, so, for her I use the standard/manual toothbrush and she lets me brush just fine then licks me a thank you afterwards. It’s not hard, it takes little time, the main thing is to just get started. The dog (cat) may fight it at first but when they know what’s going on they will become less afraid and let you take more time. This brushing was shortened as I was doing this video so other can see, normally I spend more time brushing and get a little deeper. Take care of your pet and save lots of money. I do use regular dog toothpaste from Petco. Human toothpaste is different and NOT SAFE for dogs.

Google made big changes to the ways their search results rank,   in the name of providing more relevant search results for it’s users, google engineers published blog post which indicated there were 11.8% organic search results will be affected, in another word, there are about 12% of google search results are considered low quality by google itself. The update was initiated more than a year ago, and recently I see some of my ranks were lowered considerably, but almost all the ranks promoted by articles and blog posts were not affected, and a few of them even gained a few positions, it’s obvious that linking campaign the old way is the thing of past, probably due to links crammed sites being de-indexed by google.

So what exactly is linking campaign the old way? a lot of marketing companies did and are doing the plain link building, they put your links on websites which only exist for holding links, the only updates on those websites are the new links, it’s safe to assume all of them are trash, the name of link spamming sites is justified. Now google algorithm probably will weed out these sites, all the links on those websites will have the same fate.  

Maybe a few examples will make it clear. When I got into online marketing long time ago, I started promote the keyword, Dog Tie Out, of course with old way of link building, almost all the sites I got link from had too many links, and the worst thing is that those sites are linking sites only and had no content, not even crap content. I would give credit where credit is due, this linking strategy worked, lately the keyword link stayed on the first page for a while,   the honeymoon lasted until google changed it’s mind. Now let’s look at another keyword, chain pullers, we promoted this keyword with articles and blog posts, with very few plain links, the rank for this keyword is making me real happy. Now contextual links win the battle, then what? In fact the only thing matters here is content, when you create unique and quality content, not only people will love to read your stuff, so do the search engines. It’s never too late to build good blogs for business purpose, take a look at this blog, baby strollers , in the beginning I just post to it casually, lately I added nice stuff left and right, now it can even rank the highly competitive keywords. As far as SEO concerned, blog marketing with great content is the way to go. Say you’re building your own bogging network, something like Lift Sling, then it will be easier to do article marketing.

At the end of day all you have to do is to create attractive content, publish and share with people, promote your business with the content, your effort will reward you handsomely in the end. Persistence and patience are the keys to success, you shouldn’t expect things to improve overnight, it doesn’t matter you’re doing SEO or advertising your business, keep writing, publishing, sharing and creating, you will see the day of success. Ezine is one of the best article directories out there, new article will be indexed within an hour if not minutes, and some popular blogs will get your post indexed in minutes, there venues are ideal for promoting your site, here I am going to show you an article in article directory or on a blog, say this Vehicle First Aid Kit, good writing, interesting content, indexed and cached, this article is a good example of article marketing. 

By the way, the social media is the must have channel for your marketing effort. For wordpress blogs, I recommend twitter tools, sign up for a twitter account and create a new application, set up API credentials in your twitter tools option, you should choose to post a tweet for every new post, it’s real easy and useful, if you don’t use this tool it’s just too bad.
