Dogs Training Blog

Also, how do I get bonded? I have 2 Shetland Sheepdogs. I have a very large, clean home with a big fenced in yard. I also live on Lake Michigan. I don’t have kids so I’d be able to give constant attention to the dogs. I would prefer to limit it too small or medium sized dogs that are well behaved but that just get lonely home alone all day. I was thinking $12 per day plus $8 for each additional dog. If it was overnight, it’d be $25 for the day and night. Is that reasonable? I’d walk the dogs at least 3 times a day for 10-15 minutes and on decent days, they could romp at the beach or go for trail walks as well as visit local dog parks. I have also done tons of dog training mainly for competitive obedience so I figured for an additional $5 a day, I could teach them valuable basic obedience with results guaranteed. The dogs would either be in my semi-finished basement with lots of bedding, toys, and some agility obstacles (tunnels and stuff) or in the family room (provided they are very housebroken). I also have tons of recommendations! I was going to make flyers. What would be catching? And newspaper ads! What could they read? Oh, I’m 35. I do competitive dog agility right now. THANKS FOR SUGGESTIONS!
