Being competitive

 I have always wanted to upgrade my grooming skill like attend courses oversea. Recently I have gone to the dog show and there were grooming, dog obedient, agility competition and etc.

I was there grooming for Elmo many years back when I was still a dog grooming student.

Being competitive is good as it bring you to the next level. We should not be staying in our comfort zone for too long.

I have been freelancing dog grooming during weekend to keep my skill active so that I don’t loose it. Many friends ask why I chose to go into this career. I wanted to learn an surviving skill and I have chosen dog grooming to human Mani Pedicure. 7 years back it was a niche market. In case I loose my full time job, I can still have a skill to work as a dog groomer.

Now its getting popular for dog Mani Pedi; maybe I can explore into this trend getting it as one of the service for my customers

Working full time and free lancing is quite tiring as weekends will be burnt. Seriously, I have been wandering if I could chose one career that I enjoy .

In life there are always  many options. Every decision will lead you to difference direction.

If my business bloom, I might go into full time. I got all support from my hubby and he wanted to be my assistant.

” Opportunity comes with responsibility and reliability!”

When an opportunity comes just grab it then adjust yourself to suit the situation as not everyone is lucky to have that opportunity.

Who's responsibility?

I always believe how the kids behave depends on how they are being brought up.

Recently there are a lot of unhappy disagreement from the dog lovers on the notice that HDB put up on the dog

barking nuisance in the middle of the night at Ang Mo Kio.

It mention: If you are unable to control your dog barking, you can

1)Take your dog for obedience training

2)Use training collars to control your dog and modify its behavior

3)Debarking your dog through surgery.

I believe people are unhappy with the third suggestion that HDB throws in.

Being an responsible owner. I will be curious why is my dog barking in the middle of the night.

Why are they giving you such attention? Are we giving them enough space to sleep, Is your neighbor making noise that alert them? Are they starving?

Miko is quite an alert fur kid. When she heard some noise outside our house she will alert us with her bark.

Doesn’t dog suppose to protect us and alert us when there are unusual activity outside your house? There is a reason for their good sense of hearing isn’t it? When they are young, we should be responsible to cultivate the right mind set to them. I have a friend that train the dog bark with a electric collar. The collar will give a vibrate and electric shock to the dog when they bark. This is one way to remind them of the unnecessary barking.

It’s the same as baby when they cry mummy will stuff the pacifier to them to stop them from crying.

Choke chain is another obedience training that people use to train their dog. Of course it must be medium to big dog. It will be too harsh to apply on small dogs.
