Our family dog refuses to work or help out in any way.

The only thing he will do voluntarily is clean food off of the floor. I've suggested many things - mowing lawns, paper route, etc - but he is having none of it. I really want him to feel like he is a valuable,contributing member of the pack, but the charade is beginning to wear a little thin.

Considering all of the cleaning up I do after him, and hunting down those big bags of dog food each month, dude needs to step it up a notch.
