Something new to learn :-)

Most dogs don’t like to be pet on their head by strangers. Instead, if you want to say hello and you’ve asked their guardian, say hello verbally and allow the dog to choose if they want to be pet. If they come closer for a sniff, leave your hand at your side. Allow them to sniff and initiate a pet, then pet their side behind their shoulders and stop. If they want more, they’ll let you know. Consent is important for dogs, too.

Perfect 'hobby 2 income' sideline for people who love dogs but can't handle the full-time commitment of their own dog!

CASE STUDY SUCCESS - HOUSE SIT/DOG SIT
from your mentor hobby2income

Brad Samuels (Denver, Colorado) posted this profitable hobby in the group Side Hustles and Small Business Ideas.

He writes "Easy money this holiday season- dog sitting.

"Every year I dog sit using a few services, wait until the last minute to accept anything and charge $85/night/dog.

"My girlfriend and I can easily handle 8 dogs a night.

"If you want a head start this holiday season let me know and I can help get you set up.

"If you don't have a house you can still do this! House sit & Dog sit!

"Easy money-especially when you work from home"
