Dennis Jones Webboard User Reg: 06-13-2004 Posts: 3389 Loc: Richmond Va Offline	Last Sunday at the park I took the kids and the two SchutzHunden to do some training and get the kids some much needed excercise. I got started with the basic and advance obedience, some cute tricks, agility and article searches, the kids were helping me and before I realized it I had a crowd of people standing around me watching and some were asking questions about my dogs/kids and training questions. One person offered to buy my dog on the spot. I'm thinking of passing my hat around much like I seen street entertainers in San Fran and New Orleans do after a performance. I found myself answering questions that I spent money and time to learn myself. I figure I'll put the kids in raggedy clothes, get a boom box playing "Mr Bojangles" and "Who Let the Dogs Out" and have a more polished act. What say you guys? Too trashy? or a good way to pay for the dogfood?

I could not help you if you had a lazy or dull hound or a dog with serious behavioural problems. But your right about starting a business, I'm going to talk to a K9 trainer tuesday and see if he can use my help or at least learn a bit more

Angela Burrell Webboard User Reg: 05-10-2006 Posts: 2273 Loc: Ontario, Canada Offline	Not to mention your dogs are eye-catching lookers to begin with! 90% of the people out there do not have well trained dogs. I have just started working with one of mine and I was actually surprised how much time and effort goes into a well trained dog, and my work is simple obedience!!! People are amazed when they see a well-trained dog because it is such a rarity. People are amazed when they see anything that is the product of hard work, patience, and perseverence (think of the carefully restored classic car, cruising down the strip.) You should be proud of your hard work.
