What I plan to do is run 0.5 miles to a mile with a dog(depending on how tired or disobedient the dog is), return it, then run with another one. On a 3 mile run I could run with up to 6 dogs. Maybe it will catch on and I can get a team of dedicated runners to hook up with the dogs.
Now this does have some problems. I am not sure if I can afford the gas to drive down there every day and run with them. The nearest one is about 7 miles, but 7*2*7 miles is a bit of gas. Maybe I could alternate days.
Another thing I was thinking was to turn it into a business. Would people pay $10 a mile for me to wear their dog out? I bet!

These are all just thoughts circling my brain.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a good cause and a business idea!
ReplyDeleteYour father is a genius!
ReplyDeleteWhy not charge $10 per mile for private runs from people who work and do not have time to exercise their pets (Ceasar likes this..LOL), then donate a portion to the Humane Society when you go back to do free runs for them.
ReplyDeleteExample: Perform 5 runs a week privately =$50
Put gas in your car, drive to the Humane Society, run their dogs for free and make a $1 donation for every mile their dogs runs YOU! That's only 10% of your income fees...
Its a win/win/win/win/win/win/win situation
Private (spoiled)dogs gets ran - WIN
You get exercise - WIN
You get gas in your car - WIN
Pound puppies get walked - WIN
Humane Society get $$ -WIN
More money means less Euthanasia - WIN
Karma is good - WIN
As a bonus,,,the dogs can run BF too!
If I got 10 dollars a mile I'd be doing at least 20 miles every day.
