Rocking Your Online Reviews
|
|
Checking online reviews has become a regular part of most shoppers’ decision-making process. That includes dog lovers, whether searching for the right dog treats or choosing the best dog trainer, walker, pet sitter, or other dog pro for their best friend. Good online reviews can boost new client inquiries significantly—enough so that it’s worth taking an active approach to collecting them.

“I love the week-by-week format, sound teaching principles, and countless nuggets... I strongly endorse this product. It’s a glorious contribution.”
–Jean Donaldson, The Academy for Dog Trainers |
“The B-Mod Toolkit is super handy for organizing our approach to behavior problems. [I]t’s great to have standardized training plans to refer to rather than having to ‘reinvent the wheel’ every time. We consider this one of the smartest investments we’ve made!”
–Ursa Acree, Canis Major Dog Training |

 Happy Tails Canine Adventure Tours
Only like to vacation if you can bring your dogs? Check out the world’s first tour company for dogs and their humans. Happy Tails Canine Adventure Tours was founded in 2018 by veteran tour operators who totally get not wanting to leave our best friends behind. We met co-founder David Blank at a recent conference and are super impressed by what he and partner Claudia Fabrega are up to. They make all the arrangements for a wide variety of stress-and-hassle-free trips you and your dog can enjoy together.
Here are some trips they have coming up.
Happy Tails offers a generous affiliate program, too. As a dog pro, you can share information about their adventures and get paid for any clients who decide to take advantage. And if you want to take things a little further, you can even partner with Happy Tails to create custom package training tours for your clients—you provide the training and they’ll build a trip itinerary around your goals!
