It's very simple and she just used things we have here at home; but she's doing well with it. So is Buddy-- He really enjoys it; he gets pooped too early though for my daughter. LOL
Now she says- this is fun. What do i have to do to be a trainer? I said well 1st you have to figure out what kind of training, and go from there. I said to her.. soon as you are old enough (16) do some volenteer work at the local aspca that will help you to get some good experience. Everyone is telling her that she is too young to volenteer. 
She had said too that being an animal cop would be good for her. I told her she was mean eoungh for it. LOL I guess we need to try and get some research done for her to find out where she needs to go and how to start with it. She loves animals of any kind-- and wants to work with them in some way. |
Wow! This sounds alot like me! I am only 13 too, but my sister just went off to college a few weeks ago, and my dad said I should start thinking about what I want to do when I grow up....And I have been taking my puppy, Wesley to training classes and I love every minute of it.... Buddy_DaMutt, what does your daughter use for the course...I have been trying to make one myself but just can't....
And also, Buddy_DaMutt, I definately HAVE to work with dogs in some way when I grow up!!!!
