Nervous for my first multiple dog training session. Advice needed please?

dog training advice
Kay08 asked:

This is my first time training multiple dogs. I have usually trained just one dog. There are 3 pit bulls. One of which is the afraid timid one who is afraid of people and takes a long time to warm up to other people.
I used to own pit bulls in my younger years and work with them from other pet jobs. The client/owner is experiencing they have learned the I’m listening, but I’m ignoring you behavior that she wants me to help correct.

I have 2 others of the pack who are the outgoing friendly ones.
I have lots of experience with training dogs. This is my first multiple dog training experience. Any advice on how to go about this? I have been studying up on different ways to train these situations and have a pretty good method to solve this. I just don’t want to be nervous!

How much does it cost?

free dog training lessons
Kip’s Mom *** *** asked:

to keep your dog for one year? Not including the purchase/adoption price. How much for the first year? How much after the first year? How much do you have set aside for, or are willing to spend on, emergencies? Just asking, since some people think dogs are “free”.

For me – the first year ~ $800 vet (including UTD shots and neuter), ~$500 (and probably more) on supplies like kennels, leashes, toys, etc., ~$250 on food and treats, ~$300 training (puppy class, obedience and beginner agility) = ~$2000 for the first year
So far this year, $200 vet (UTD shots, including kennel cough – it was going around), $140 on agility lessons ($10/week – they are cheap here!), and ~$150 on food and treats = ~$500
For emergencies, I have a budget of $5000, and I could afford more than that.
Add: why so much in vet bills? Because that’s how much the vet charges. I’m in Canada, I *will not* give shots to my dog, and prices tend to be a bit higher here.
Oh, and I totally forgot about grooming. I groom Kip myself, but if i took him to the groomers, add another $50 every two months. Since I groom him myself, add the cost of clippers to the first year total!

Should I take a job as a dog trainer at Petco? Or keep my Union job?

free dog training lessons
MyDogRules asked:

I was bored one day and filled out the online application, after one of the stores trainers recommended I do while I was toy shopping one day. Two days later I’ve got an interview. I have a good job now, some would say really good, I know I was lucky to get it. Railroad job..its union w/ full benefits & a pension & I make about 25$/hr with lots over over & even double time. But I HATE…HHHAAATTTEE my job. The only thing that gets me through the days is I look forward to coming home and playing w/ my pup & I’ve become the local ‘dog’ guy. Every weekend I help 1-2 people with training their dogs & I have a backyard agility course me and a few people (I’ve trained) run our dogs through…and it seems like working with dogs for a living would be the best thing ever. Heck, I do it for fun & free on my weekends.

Now I realize Petco isn’t the gold standard of dog training, but I figured its a good place to get my feet wet and get some experience on a professional level. I’d taken my pup there for puppy classes because it was cheap and I just wanted to practice w/ distractions … I’ve taught dogs agility and dealt with behavioral problems…I didn’t need someone to show me ’sit’, but it was good socialization in a learning setting I thought. Anywho, I befriended the girl teaching & am all but guaranteed the job if I want it.

Does anyone know what they make? Is it based on commission in anyway for selling training lessons? Someone said you might have to work on the floor or register too, is that true? The girl I know also works in the grooming department washing dogs (she’s not trained to cut dogs hair), & that seems the ultimate to me, but is that normal? Does anyone know a better way to break into the dog training world? People who I’ve helped for free tell me I should have charged (…though they weren’t offering $$) & some have suggested I just make a web page or hang fliers…but I don’t know if I’d feel right acting like I knew it all…I figured a year or two at Petco and at least I’d have someone to fall back on (the other trainers there) for the beginning of this…its easy to tell someone you can’t help when they aren’t paying you anyways.

Anyone worked there….taken classes there from a new trainer…quit a good job because you thought you’d be happier at another one??
