The Canine Paradigm


Episode 194: Hobby, jobby, job

September 27, 2021

Hobby, Jobby, job is an expression that came from the wise oracle Bart Bellon. It's his way of describing the transition between a hobby and a job, obviously with the jobby in-between.

Much like the phases of training that we some time refer to, this is a natural progression of many dog trainers.

They start off with the hobby and they find its been calling to them like the song of a siren. they get more involved, now it's taking the shape of a jobby.

For many who are asking how to get into the industry, this is a good flight plan. it allows you to develop the skills you need and gives you perspective of what you're enrolling in.

Good luck out there all the newer people coming into this wonderful industry.
