“I’m afraid to try something new!”
They say they want something to happen. They’re passionate about what they want to do. They tell me they have the qualifications, maybe the experience as well - and they certainly have the desire.
Do you have a mentor or are you re-inventing the wheel?
Now I don’t know if you’re like me, but when I started out on this path, I thought I could do it alone.
I’d got the qualifications - I worked really hard! - to get high grades so I could feel confident that I knew what I was talking about and like with so many dog training programs, I learnt loads about how to train a dog.
Doing what you love all day long!
Isn’t that what we all yearn for? To be able to do what we love, all day long?
I guess it’s the reason so many people look forward to retirement - so they can leave the hateful or boring day job and enjoy endless gardening, or travelling, or reading, or whatever floats your boat!
What’s stopping you opening your Dog School?
I have a confession to make.
I was interested in training dogs for years.
I competed at a high level with my dogs for years.
I even made up a couple of Champions.
Just how flexible are you?
There was a time - another life, it seems! - when I was in a job I hated. It was demeaning the people I had to rub shoulders with daily were not the sort of people I wanted to spend my time with.
