If you love being around dogs and would like to make money from it-there are various dog-related businesses with low startup costs and certain dog-related jobs that require little formal training. With a little imagination and some work you could easily apply yourself to some of the suggestions offered in this article. In a short time you could be working with dogs and developing an income stream that puts money in your pocket and bank account.
Instructions
1. One of the easiest, low-cost ways to make money with dogs is to offer a dog walking service. This type pf business is especially popular in urban areas. You can offer this in suburban areas, but it will require more travel time. A dog walking service will require insurance and bonding. Check with your local agent for rates.
2. Starting a pet sitting service is another opportunity for you to explore. A pet sitting service does not require the overhead that a business with a physical location does. You take care of the pets in their own homes. This service has become very popular, as many dog owners do not like leaving their dogs in kennels.
3. Dog training is a very popular business that also has low startup costs. This will require some training on your part. You'll have to learn train dogs before you can start a business. There are many schools in the United States that offer this. There are also online courses and organizations. An excellent organization for anyone wanting to learn about becoming a dog trainer is the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (see link in Resources below).
4. If you have photography skills, there are a lot of pet owners that will pay to have professionally-done pictures. Why not approach shelters, dog trainers, dog groomers, kennel owners, pet stores and so on, and ask to have a pet photography day in their place of business? It helps promote their business and it's an easy way for you to get started. Pet photos with Santa is a very popular event around Christmas time.
5. Dog daycare has become hugely popular. I opened my first dog daycare with less than a $1,000. I found a good location with low rent and started. Once I had the business running successfully I included dog training and grooming. It is a little more labor intensive than some of the other suggestions, but it can be a very profitable business.
6. Making homemade dog cookies has become a big business. There are now dog bakeries that offer a huge selection of baked goods including gourmet dog cookies, cakes and pastries. You could supply the bakeries or package your own.
