I'd like to get my walking-talking project fully set-up, supported and rolled-out nationwide.
Probably only 50k seed money please, the rest will be fund-raising and it should eventually be self-supporting. edit: chuck in £25 so I can buy a book to help me learn where to use hyphens correctly.

If someone needs an ear to bend, someone to talk to
we'll set a date and time, I'll go meet them and take them for a walk for a few miles through the countryside. We'll chat, talk their issue through and either help them refer themselves to whichever service suits their needs or arrange another walk for low-level needs.
Seed money is for registration, insurance, printing, promotion, training and expansion, and setting up fund-raising for future income.
ROI is nil, unless you like popcorn. I'm good at popcorn.

Deffo getting funding, first 3 years wages for you and 10 others, fully paid up.
Will work very closely with my Theorpy Dog Charity.... where I train up dogs to be dosial and, well, just be dogs... for people to have around during theorpy sessions (if they want it) and for your walks.

Good dogs that heel and come when called would be brilliant for this.
I can't deal with dogs that pull on the lead or don't bend to my every command. But I'll gladly take any good dog for a walk, and they're excellent therapy for people who like dogs. I've often thought of hiring a couple of puppies and kittens and taking them to an old people's home for the OAPs to woo and wah over.

Ace !
That'll be one of the big things about these dogs, that they'll be very obiedient, but naturally dogs are dogs and might not be 100% of the time.

I kind of like that unpredictability about dogs.
I also like dogs that are all "meh" and disinterested, not needy bastards like they usually are, all that tail wagging and tongue hanging out and jumping up and sniffing your nuts and stuff. Why are they so needy? Get yourself some fucking self-esteem, dogs!

I totally agree, but for this they'd need to be able to be made to stop barking on command.
