Canine Careers

Dogs with jobs.

I bet you are thinking of police dogs, maybe having a knife wielding handbag robber for breakfast. Or maybe an assistance dog, calmly helping its owner remain independent.

One of the things I decided Betsy needed was a job! Otherwise, doggy self employment looms…

Potential career paths for dogs considering self employment include:

  • Demolition Expert (destructiveness)
  • Shepherd (biting ankles)
  • Rockstar (barking)

Personally, no offence to any of the above, but…

I wanted my dog to do a job I want her to do.

Whilst respectable career options do include the initial ones I mentioned, Betsy has many jobs!

We work together at agility shows, disc (frisbee) routines in the park, practising obedience exercises on a walk, and when we aren’t doing any of those we get out the clicker and learn something new!
