The Reluctant Dog Trainer

<p>"I did not set out to have a career working with dogs nor did I aspire to working with animals of any sort.  I left school fully intending to enjoy a life as a beach bum painting and being creative however living on the west coast of Wales I quickly discovered that to be a successful beach bum required a large budget for waterproofs and fleecy jackets.  it was clear that I was going to have find something else to do with my life.  It was at that point I attempted to join the rest of the world and learn things to become a productive member of society and so I went dutifully to art college only to find that this was not going to be the path to enlightenment I was seeking.  Six months of painting random still lives and the odd bit of finger painting and it was clear another path would be required.
