Renting a training kennel.

edited August 2011 in Giveaways, Etc.
<span style="font-size:70">So, I've decided, that I'm going to allow this kennel to be rented out<br><a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=kennel/view&id=412722"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=kennel/view&id=412722</a><br>after I get 100 fame points for the training skill.<br>I see a lot of novices trying to get help with training, but either don't have a sponsor account to train through<br>or can't find help from sponsors; and a lot of old players seem to be reappearing, this will give them the chance to <br>get back in to the groove of training.<br>Now, you're probably thinking that this is a really bad idea; and probably you're right.<br>But the process of me choosing who will be eligible to rent out my kennel, is going to be very complicated.<br>Interested? Here's some info;<br><br><ul class="bb-list-unordered"><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 1.; </span>There will be no cash transferred to this kennel. Ever. There will be enough left in there for the payment of food for dogs in the kennel. <br><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 2.;</span> Only VPians who are seriously interested in this may participate (i.e. old vpians who haven't played for a while and want to get back in to the groove of things)<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 3.;</span> Each player will have to answer a series of questions, fill out a form and for extra security a Middle Man or Op may / will be used.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 4.;</span> Only one player will be able to use the kennel at a time. Once a time limit is agreed for the player on the kennel, that is all the time you'll have for that training period. IF the dogs are not finished by a certain amount of time, I will message the dog(s) owner and ask them if they would like for me to finish the training. They will have 48 hours to respond. If they do not respond to the message, the person who had been renting out the kennel is responsible for any refunds, extra or continued training after that time.<br>-You can of course ask for more time, as long as there is no one who asked for a chance to rent out the kennel after you.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 5.;</span> There is no rental fee to rent the kennel, tips are appreciated and may or may not be taken; I expect no payment from the rentee, I'm only doing this to help people out.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 6.;</span> If I do not know the applicant / rentee personally, I will ask around and find out whether or not I can trust you. Although there will be no cash in the kennel, aside from what is necessary, I will not tolerate anyone changing the password or email address for the kennel. <br><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 8.;</span> This is out of place on purpose, if you have read this far post *penguin* when you are replying if you are interested in renting the kennel<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 7.;</span> If I do agree to let you rent the kennel you have absolutely NO right to let anyone else use the kennel. If I find out, you'll automatically be kicked out of the kennel and will lose all privileges/rights that I have given you, along with any trust I may have had in you and it would be wise not to try and use me as a reference. If I feel that you are not trustworthy, I will let people know.<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 7.5.;</span> If you do not know me, and would like to perform your own 'background check' or have any questions for me as far as how this will work please do not be afraid to ask ^.^<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 9.;</span> Even if I've worked with you before, and trust you, I still ask that you fill out a form just because that is only fair (:<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 10.;</span> Password will be changed every time a different renter uses it ;) <br><span style="font-weight:bold">Number 11.;</span> Low statted dogs may be purchased so that new players get a chance to practice training before working on important dogs and/or lines for serious players. Dogs may also be rescued, or donated to the kennel so that these players again have a chance to practice on low statted dogs so that if they mess up training, they have a chance to learn from mistakes.<br>-I know, thats a buttload of information; but it basically lets you know everything, at least I hope it does ^.^<br><br></ul><br>FORM:<br>

I used to share a training kennel with MacCat, Kiwicece and Collie 99 and trained my own dogs. Towards the end of our partnerships though i was starting to train for the public because felt more comfortable in my abilities. Soon MacCat and Kiwicece wanted to become a boarding Kennel though so Collie99 and I left them. I was unable to continue to train my own dogs anymore or the publics dogs. I'd like to restar training them again.<br>References: Sorry all I really have is myself. I never tgrained for MacCat but she's the one who originally offered to let me borrow her and Kiwicece training kennel. I never really talked to Kiwicece<br>Training Examples: I only have a couple because i buy them then have dogs trained then I event them and then sell them.<br><a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=dog/view&id=1855821"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=dog/view&id=1855821</a><br><a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=dog/view&id=1872996"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=dog/view&id=1872996</a><br><a href="http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=dog/view&id=1837982"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://virtualpups.com/index.php?r=dog/view&id=1837982</a><br>How do I know I can trust you?: I am friends with Amika and when i forst started playing she made a deal with me to pay me for every dog I was able to put in her boarding after a while she offered training instead of money. She would sometimes train one of my dogs before I got all the dogs needed into boarding. I would always get all the dogs in boarding I would never leave her with any less dogs than promised. I wouldn't want to break our agreement becuase without her i would've probably ended up as a novice with no money, ill trained dogs and never woud've been able to get up on my feet. I see you as somewhat the same. Your helping me up onto my feet into the world of training in VP. After alll I hate it when someone breaks an agreement so, why would I want to put that pain, anger and stress on someone else. So please feel free to messsage Amika. I have also encourage you to message MacCat.<br>Do you understand everything that I've listed above?: yes all of it except the amount of rental time. how long will each rent last? Are you allowing any rerents (not asking for more time) but rerenting the kennel at a different time. Or is this a one time deal thing?<br>I also have a question about the layout. Is whomever that is renting the kennel aloud to post there prices on the layout? Would whomever that is renting the kennel be aloud to post on the BB that there training is open? when i clicked on the kennel link and read the layout i got a little confused. Sorry if i miss interpretted or missed something while reading everything.<br>Do you understand the rental fee?: yes<br>Anything you think is unfair, or not applicable to you?: No<br>Any comments on how this could be better, and/or <br>safer for everyone involved?: No i think you have it pretty full proof.<br>Is this a good idea?: Yes<br>Would you like a Middle Man to be involved no matter what?: It does not matter to me. <br>If so, Op to be used as a Middle Man?: It does not matter to me.<br>If not, why not?: Like I said in the last two questions it doesn't matter to me because it is your kennel and if you are a little leary about trusting me then yes I encourage you to use a middle man. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible in this agreement <br>How much cash will be kept in the kennel at all times?: Enough for the dogs within the kennel being trained to be fed and watered<br>Any other information that I haven't asked, that you think is important for me to know?: I don't think so....<br>Anything you would like to know about me(i.e references, training examples and so on)?: Not that i don't trust you i just don't know you. So i hope you don't mind if I ask you a few of Questions. <br>What are your references/examples of trust?<br>Would you like a Middle Man to be involved no matter what?<br>If you'd like a MM, What Op to be used as a Middle Man?<br>Thank you for your time and allowing me a chance at renting your training kennel. <br>Penguin?

    <br><br><span style="font-size:70"> Thanks for you interest guys! I'm super glad you guys are asking questions and want references, that shows me good things about you! If need be you can message these guys and ask them what they think (: Just make sure it's alright your messaging them and what not, not reason to be annoying anyone xD<br>I don't think I have any links to the dogs I've trained, but I'll be searching for you guys ^.^<br>I've been in a few train offs, so if I can find the links to those I'll post the dogs I trained there 3:<br>*I've seriously trained for nearly everyone and done a lot of work with a lot of vpians but here's a list anywho - <br><span style="font-weight:bold">Previous and Current OPs:</span><br>Aziu<br>Jinxx<br>Tara<br>Zoe<br>LaRu<br>PaperWings / Moose<br>Troglin / Anastasia / Lioness<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Previous and Current Players:</span><br>Boz<br>SandPiper<br>Chibi<br>Pride<br>Mad<br>Maitre<br>Ruffian<br>Finny<br>Nickel<br>Lycanthrin /Lyc / Lyceepoo<br>Sea Oats / Vi<br>Juzzi<br>Twloha<br>Femme<br>Garnie<br>Dodge<br>Bluey<br>Kaz<br>Zenyatta<br>and so on…<br><br>@Akali;<br>Ana is a pretty popular MM with most players, and one that I've worked with probably 100 times.

That's awesome.<br>As far as renting goes, I'd like for each renter to really only use up to one week at a time, just to be fair to other players interested.<br>You may re-rent the kennel, and as long as there is no other person waiting to use the kennel you can ask for more time if you haven't finished training. I do advise that if you are to use my kennel, that you don't take on more trainings than you can handle; for example, if you still have 3 trainings to do but you don't have enough time left to use the kennel and there is another player waiting to use the kennel you will have to wait until there is another renting opportunity. As far as those 3 trainings would go, you would either have to refund the player the money or figure out another way to train them. However, if the player was ok with it they could always wait for when you rent the kennel again.<br>@EVERYONE!<br>Layout Prices<br>I don't have a problem with you posting your prices on the layout, as long as you post under the part that says The Renters / Trainers, and have it stated if your training is open or closed. Also, if players need to contact you through that kennel you must have them place your Name in the messages Subject area so that if I'm checking in on the kennel I don't read your messages ^.^ Same with your Contracts, please have the player add your Name to the Subject area.<br>Bark Park<br>I don't mind if you post your services through that kennel as long as you let them know who YOU are, and that you are only renting the kennel. I do not want anyone thinking that I am on the kennel, and that they understand you'll be training. You must specify this.<br><br>Any other questions?<br>Please don't be afraid to ask (:<br>Currently, the kennel doesn't have the training skill as I've been on vacation, but I'll be working on that and then the kennel will be able to be rented! ^.^<br></span>
