It sounds like you could always go back to the personal training, but the dog training opportunity is here and now.
It would be great to have a personal trainer who specializes in exercising with your dog. Now there's a market niche.
(From what I've seen at dog shows, alot of handlers could use some personal training...)

Well.....I might be biased but I'd vote for a career in dog training.
I used to be a certified aerobic instructor and while it was fun, I couldn't continue the pace and eventually dropped the fitness instruction. Gyms do seem to be geared for the younger market although the Baby Boomers do make up a larger market.
You obviously have a lot of working knowledge of showing and training dogs. I would think you would enjoy the challenge of helping dog owners establish a good relationship and enjoy the full benefits of responsible ownership.
The butterflies are within you.

How about drafting a greyhound? 'Cept, he wouldn't point out the potholes![]()
To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.
