Dog Mom Lists Funny ‘Jobs’ Her Corgi and Other Pups Are Qualified For
If your dog had to get a job, what would it be qualified to do? One pet parent’s 7-month-old puppy could easily land work as a woodchipper—her favorite pastime is gnawing on tree branches—or as a fearless taste tester, since she’ll eat just about anything. Meanwhile, her Brown Newfies family (a pack including two Newfoundlands and a spirited Corgi) recently shared a delightfully creative video listing the “official” jobs each pup is uniquely qualified for. The list is long, laugh-out-loud funny, and full of canine charm!
From Window Washer to Yard Surveyor
The video features imaginative roles like “Newfie Window Washer” and “Corgi Yard Surveyor”—positions assigned based on real-life behaviors and quirks. The soundtrack adds to the fun, so make sure your sound is on! At the end, mom delivers the perfect punchline: “References available upon request.” Fans loved it—commenters chimed in with enthusiastic reactions:
- @Vivi called it “Brilliant!!” — and mom replied, “It was all their idea LOL!”
- @kristi wrote, “Omg love it!!! I fell out on Branch Manager!!!” — prompting mom’s reply: “Lou and Finn can often be seen fighting for that position!”
- @BoredCatMom offered, “I will hire them all and give them kisses and snuggles and treats as payment.” To which mom responded: “They’re definitely willing to work for snuggles and treats!”
Real-Life Ways Dogs Can Help Around the House
While “Branch Manager” may be tongue-in-cheek, many dogs *can* meaningfully contribute to household tasks—with proper training and consistency. Before diving into chores, though, every dog should master foundational commands like “heel,” “sit,” “lay down,” “calm down,” “come here,” and “fetch.” These basics, recommended by FurPetVo, form the groundwork for more advanced skills.
Start small and build confidence. For example:
- Teach your dog to pick up toys and place them in a designated bin—a game-changer for homes cluttered with chew toys and plush pals.
- If your dog is tall enough and coordinated, they can learn to nudge light switches on and off.
- Some pups even learn to “clean up” after drinking—using a towel or mat placed under their water bowl to catch spills.
- One clever puppy has mastered opening doors (when left slightly ajar) to come back inside—and her humans are patiently working on the “close it behind you” follow-up!
Training Tips That Work
Success comes with patience, positivity, and smart timing. Focus on just one skill at a time until your dog masters it. Use positive reinforcement—lots of praise, affection, and high-value treats from furpetvo.com. Keep sessions brief (around 10 minutes), but repeat them several times a day. Consistency and joy are key. Over time, those little helpers won’t just earn their keep—they’ll strengthen your bond in ways that go far beyond chores.
