Pet sitting. It's fun, and it's pays great! Plus starting up your own business for it is pretty simple. Read Pet Sitting for Profit by Patti J. Moran. She is the founder of P.S.I. There are other books she's written, but this one is really great on explaining the business and how you can make money, and what you need to get started. It's really helpful. Good luck hun!

Dog Training Techniques - The Fundamentals

• Groomer, dog walker, daycare attendant or owner, trainer.


• law enforcment ,vet,animal shelter rescue person


• Working at a doggy daycare could be a nice idea. It seems like you like animals and from what I've observed most of these dog care facilities are fun places to work. Not sure how good the pay will be though.


• Vets make the most money and since you are planning college, that is the best choice in my opinion. In the meantime you can volunteer at an animal shelter or work at a vet's boarding facility.
  
  A trainer is iffy since you have to find the customers and small business like that have a very high failure rate. There is a great deal of liability, too. Besides people can say anything on internet so don't believe them.
  
  The one job you DONT want is working in a pet store. Puppy mills are terrible!


• She's right! Check into working as a Pet Trainer at Petsmart. You get an hourly wage plus commission off of every dog that you train. PetSmart is a great company to work for, excellent benefits, great employee discount and working with dogs is a BONUS!
  
  Its fun to watch some of the "less obediant" dogs start class. When they graduate, they are like a totally different dog. I would definately recommend becoming a dog trainer. Maybe after teaching basic class, you could move on and teach agility or train dogs to assist the handicap/eldery. You really can do alot with this profession if you have the dedication which sounds like you already have.
  
  GOOD LUCK!!! :)


• there are so many great jobs out there for dog care. if you have never worked with them before, you may want to atrt off at a place like your local pound to get a feel for it, and after that if you still feel you want to do more, there is always grooming, walking, training, or one of my personal vfavorites... being a doggie foster home. :) all have their rewards. good luck!
