Great can start advertising

I have been told I can advertise for my business before registering as self employed as I'll still be on job seekers I'm only able to work under 16 hours a week on the business. I'm hoping to get on an animal first aid course while designing business cards, flyers and leaflets. Already started my web site need to finish that and publish it.

Did voluntary at dogs home yesterday took 4 dogs out all seperately 2 from last week Jack the Westy cross and Lizzie the Staffy cross Jack Russel I want. Also a giddy older one Rusty and a small Jack Russel pup all were lovely.

Can start the business finally

To say I'm exited is an understatement. I can't get working tax money but I can still get Job Seekers money as long as I work under 16 hours a week and earn less than what I'm getting Job seekers each week and if I sign off JSA and then earn less money I can get straight back on it. So in other words I've nothing to lose by trying this business. Best get web site done along with everything else.

Maybe first customer for when I start

On work program my advisor was off so I had to see a man instead and he said that once I get my dog walking and pet sitting business set up he will be my first customer a few days a week. He has a spanial. The only down side is he lives about 10 mile from me but to get started I would go up to 10 mile. I may only need 2 customers to start to be on the same money I'm on now so half way.

I'm finding out if I can get working tax credits on Monday to start the business. I did voluntary at the dogs home yesterday walking 3 dogs one at a time. first was a Westy cross which was quite giddy and liked carrying sticks. Next was an older Staffy and last was a young Staffy I would of loved to keep it kept jumping up at me licking me and as I left it was looking back at me. That is one I would get attached to if I see it much.

3 more dog walks

Did more voluntary at the dogs home took 3 dogs out one at a time. First one was Max from last time. He didn't seem to want to go far. Next I was told only bigger dogs were left needing walking so I said that I'd like to take one of them a walk as I have no experience at all with bigger dogs yet. I got to take a Staffy called Red that only needed a short walk as he is prone to having fits but is on medication to control them, I kept an eye on him all time hoping he would be ok. I'd been told he didn't like other dogs but we passed a few fine though I didn't let him near them he ignored them. Last was another Staffy older one who I was told again didn't like other dogs and the staff made sure there was no dogs near before bringing her to me and walked her outside before giving me the lead. This got me alerted to maybe a difficult dog, but we didn't pass any dogs while out and the few she passed at the home she ignored so maybe the staff were over cautious with her or maybe she is aggressive with some dogs.

Its got me thinking how I would deal with any dog that may have a fit or become ill when walking if I start a business. I had a dog before that had a fit twice so I have dealt with it before its not very nice but afterwards I read up on it and learnt the dog isn't aware of anything while having the fit and there isn't much you can do other than make sure the dog is kept safe while having the fit.
