This Dog Deserves an Oscar for Best Director
This video features a dog's point of view while playing in the backyard. The owner gave the dog a camera to hold in his mouth, pointing towards his face on a stick. You get to watch the pup run, play chase with the man in the yard, and see things from a new angle. You can also see the sheer determination on the dog's face while trying to stay one step ahead of his owner!

Do(g)-It-Yourself 'My Dog is Home Alone' Card for Emergencies
Dogs are part of the family, and it is important to ensure they are cared for in an emergency. One very simple way to do that is to print out a card to keep in your wallet near your ID, telling emergency workers that you have a dog at home alone. If there's an accident, this will provide people with the information necessary to ensure your dog is cared for. Be sure to fill out the back of the card with the contact information of the person you trust to care for your dog in an emergency.

Become a Professional Dog Trainer
If you've dreamed of a job where you get to hang out with dogs all the time and assist owners in a helpful way, becoming a professional dog trainer may be perfect for you! Even though the industry is unregulated, you can stand out by earning a certification to put you head and shoulders ahead of the competition and ensure you're providing great service.

Here are some suggested steps to start the process:
  1. Learn canine body language and emotions.
  2. Ask to job shadow other dog trainers.
  3. Find a qualified mentor who can show you the ropes in person. 
  4. Volunteer time at a local rescue shelter to interact with dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities.
  5. Stock up on training supplies and treats. 
  6. Practice techniques on your own dog and offer to work with friends' and family members' dogs.
  7. Read as much relevant material as you can about training.
  8. Sign up for online and in-person courses to continue educating yourself as much as possible.
  9. Learn about the different niches of dog training. 
  10. Work on setting up your business and getting the word out about your company.
