SUPER DOG!!SUPER DOG!!You are a Super Dog! You have the basic knowledge to take good care of a dog. You are ready to take your love for canines to the next level. If you haven’t already, you should begin training your dog. The next step is explore the career possibilities with canines.

CONGRATULATIONS!
MEDIOCRE MUTT!!MEDIOCRE MUTT!!Your knowledge of basic dog care and etiquette is just that
mediocre (so so). Don’t worry; you are not a lost cause. Maybe volunteering at your local dog shelter or helping a
friend or neighbor with their dog could help you brush up on your skills. Once you get some experience, you
should be ready for the next level in owning and training a dog.

BOMBING BOW-WOW!!BOMBING BOW-WOW!!You may well be “barking” up the wrong tree when it comes to simple dog care and etiquette, let alone a career with a canine.
Have no fear; there is never a lost cause. Maybe you should consider getting involved first as a volunteer to a dog club or
your local SPCA. If I were you I would talk to as many experienced dog owners as possible and then and only then,
you might be ready for the first step: responsible dog ownership, ambassadorship, and a possible canine career,

GOOD LUCK!!
