Two Smartphone apps appear helpful for Athletic Trainers!

Many thanks to PATS Monroe County Delegate Matt Shelton of Stroudsburg HS!!

He recently shared some smartphone apps that could make an Athletic Trainer's life a little easier!Check em out, and tell me what you think! Coachsmart has some great tools for preventing heat illness, and the SCAT2 can be helpful as well. Wait on purchasing the app titled "Athletic Trainer".

NOT READY YET -- There is a PAID app called "Athletic Trainer" that's not quite there yet. It allows for easy SOAP notes, however it requires internet access, not a luxury on many practice fields, a way to enter offline and sync back at the office might make this a no brainer.  The current version does not rotate in landscape mode making it harder to read and difficulty to enter info.  It is free for upto five patients if you want to give it a try! 

I wouldn't be surprised if many of our recognized injury tracking distributors, like ATS have apps currently in development too, so keep looking

Do you use other smartphone apps for work?
Email me your review and I'll post them!! 

Thanks,

Work From Home by Starting Your Own Dog Training Business

If you enjoy dogs and would like to have your very own small business, what about considering starting up a dog training business?

You will be spending your time handling wonderful animals instead of being chained to a desk. If you are seeking flexibility to follow your passion and you also enjoy working with animals, this could be an ideal business plan for you.

There are no 9- 5 days for a dog training businessperson simply because you're able to decide when to work. Furthermore, you are able to choose if you wish to do group dog training, one-on-one classes, or both. You also can decide if you would like the dogs to come to your property for training or maybe you would prefer to go to the dog's home location.

One of the most attractive parts of being a dog trainer is that you can go anywhere in the world and your services will be needed. There's no need to be tied down to one location if you like to be on the move.

A lot of people are seeking dog training work, and your small business could possibly be the ideal place for their expertise. Your staff may also provide further services like dog walking to help the dogs in between sessions and improve your profits.

Dog training can be a very rewarding career and while the lure of working with animals is an appealing factor, the truth is you will more than likely be working more closely with people.

Dog Trainers are in high demand! If you think you have the skills to train a dog, this may be the business for you!

Look at dog training as a service industry within any area. Becoming a certified dog trainer will certainly give you some standing within any community and someone who possesses the skills to help people meet a growing need for teaching dogs the skills to fit into society.

Finding a good training program however, may be a little difficult for some. Here are at least five requirements any dog certificate training course should have:

#1 Any course should look at a history of dog training. Going back as far as the 1900's is preferred and this section will also compare different training methods not just in the canine world but within the animal world in general.

#2 There should be a module looking at the difference between training canines and human learning. This is a very crucial aspect and leads into such areas as negative and positive re-enforcement of the animal, punishment strategies and conditioned animal responses.

#3 A look at dog behaviour is required. You may think you understand your dog but a training course will teach you a whole lot more. This includes such topics as developmental behaviour, behavioural genetics, body language, social development and the characteristics of different breeds.

#4 You will need to learn how to design a class. In other words, how to structure it, what to include in the course and what materials will be required, counselling owners, knowing how to speak with and motivate dog handlers and how to select your clientele.

#5 There will definitely need to be a business module within the certification dog training course. Knowing how to start a business is important and knowing how to maintain it is equally as important.

Before registering for a dog training school, do your research. Ask a variety of questions about methods which are taught and what's contained in the curriculum.

A very good dog training school ought to include business managing education in establishing a dog training business. Also, look for schools that contain an array of canine psychology and behaviour, along with teach how to create dog training courses for customers.

Once you have acquired your certificate in dog training you can start to set up your own business.

Firstly; decide what you would like your business name to be. Be certain to put what you're providing within the title, for example Joe's Dog Training Service. This way your prospects are certain they are calling for what they're looking for.

Secondly; legalize your business. Go to your state's business website and register your business. To find your local government office does a search for "running a business in [your state]

Thirdly; is to get insurance. This is very important. You can never predict if you may be bit or maybe if the dog will bite another person or any other dog. You can invest in insurance protection via ADPT which is a connection for dog trainers. This organization provides extensive valuable benefits to its membership.

Fourthly; get your paperwork in order. You need to be sure you have got a signed training application to understand the dog's history. To purchase professional paperwork, you can visit the Business Forms Store.

Last but not least; is to work on getting clients. This will probably be the toughest and most time-consuming part of starting off your dog training business. Websites are most often the simplest way to draw in clients because most people search for what they need on the internet.

You may also get testimonials and referrals from local veterinarians and dog breeders as well a pet supply store.

Those two are the best techniques for finding clients. When you happen to be in business for some time, you will begin to get customers by word of mouth marketing.

Are Human Foods Safe for Your Dog?

It can be very difficult to ignore your dog as he lovingly and longingly looks up at you begging you to share your mouth-watering food with him. Many of us can't resist giving our dog human food now and then, but what foods are actually safe to share with your dog? Of course, you should always check with your veterinarian and be aware of any food allergies your dog has, but there are several foods that are okay to give your dog.

Popcorn: When you and your pooch are cuddled up on the couch watching a movie together it is all right to share some of your popcorn with your dog. Ideally it should have no butter or salt, which is a great low calorie snack for your dog (and for you!)

Squash: Squash is a good treat cooked or raw. It helps in preventing constipation in your dog and is also beneficial for eyesight.

Green Beans: They can be given to your dog thawed or frozen.

Pasta: Cooked pasta is a great treat for your dog. You can also freeze it and give it to your dog frozen.

Apples: An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Apples are a good source of fiber and vitamins for both you and your dog. Obviously, don't feed your dog the seeds or the apple core J

Rice: Rice can be a nice treat if your dog has a tummy ache. White rice is easier to digest while brown rice contains more protein and less starch.

Lean meat: Chicken, beef, and pork all provide a good source of protein.

Salmon: Salmon can help your dog's immune system and can help keep their fur and skin healthy.

Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes are a good source of vitamins for your pet and are tasty too!

Cottage Cheese: Cottage cheese is high in protein and calcium. Since cottage cheese is a dairy product, and some dogs don't do very well with dairy, make sure to only give a small amount.

Peanut Butter: Peanut butter is a healthy high-protein treat. You can put some inside of a toy or a bone and let your dog lick it out.

Eggs: Eggs are a good source of protein for your dog.

Melons: Watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew are all healthy melons you can share with your pet. Stay away from the more exotic melons.

Many dog treat manufacturers are now incorporating the above foods in to their treats. Of course, they are probably not as good as the real thing but are also good options for a healthy treat. Many local pet stores in Arlington, such as Dogma, offer natural treats with some of the above ingredients, such as peanut butter. If you have a dog walker, you can ask him or her to give your dog one of the above treats when they come by for their daily visits.
