You can make great money at home with a FOOT LICKING BUSINESS! Yes, you read it right the first time, I said a foot licking business!

You probably already know that day spas have sprung up all over the place. People love to listen to new age music and get massaged Some spas place warm river stones all over your body to help you relax, while there are other spas which cover you in sterile healing mud. People love these treatments and it helps them feel relaxed, plus spa prices are coming down so that they can stay in business in this economy! After all, it is pretty hard to relax if you are worried about how much everything is going to cost, right?

Every country in the world has massage practices, and some are a bit bizarre, but hey, variety is the very spice of life. If you are like most people, your feet need some attention, and if you are a little bit older, you are probably suffering from dry toes and rough heels, an undesirable condition to be sure, not to mention that rough heels can get caught on your bedding, which is equivalent to fingernails on a chalk board.

In Japan they have found a way to get this foot disorder under control. They have these tiny fish that nibble away all the dead skin on the feet, and in other areas of the body too. The Japanese find this a very relaxing therapy and the country is loaded with pools of foot nibbling fish.

If it’s a big hit in Japan, something like that could also be a good idea in the USA, after all dry feet are a worldwide problem. However, I do not know of any fish in my area that I would trust to nibble on my feet. The kind of fish we have here in Wisconsin would want to bite your toes off, and then go after the rest of you for the main meal. Have you ever seen a sturgeon? It rhymes with surgeon, and it looks like a big prehistoric beast. It’s scary looking, and I would not want to go anywhere near this fish, so what are we to do?

Well, well, have you ever heard of the phrase "Yankee ingenuity"? It means that us Yanks know how to come up with some good ideas. Leave the fish for the Wisconsin Friday Fish Fry, leave the foot nibbling to the Japanese, because I have an even better idea and that is FOOT LICKING!!

A foot licking salon could be your ticket to the good life. All you need is a nice room with some comfortable chairs, some new age music and a few scented candles to light the mood. Your customers come in and sit down in a comfortable recliner. First they get their feet washed with sea salt and warm scented water. Very nice, very relaxing. After that, they insert their feet through a hole in the wall, and the foot licking treatment begins. Ahhhh! So relaxing, so wonderful! Please….don’t stop!!

So far, so good right? But I know what you are thinking, WHO is going to lick feet, even if you pay them well to do it? Well, there are people who go for that kind of thing, but they are pretty hard to find, not that I have ever tried to find these kind of people.

There are other species besides humans that are good at foot licking, and perhaps the very best foot lickers on the planet are man’s best friend, the dog! Yes, the family pet can help you earn a small fortune in the foot licking business.

I have 5 dogs, and each and every one of them are foot lickers. Personally, I am too ticklish to have my feet licked, so I am taking the word of various family and friends.

For an 8 hour shift, I would suggest having four dogs, and of course it also depends upon how many customers you have. I would also suggest coating the feet with a thin layer of peanut butter, I would also suggest charging in 5 minute increments. Foot licking can get pretty intense, if a customer gets too much licking it could have some dire consequences. Simply use good common sense. never ever over lick a customer, that is rule number UNO!

I would also like to suggest that you go and adopt a few dogs for this purpose, you might also want to offer pet therapy to your clients. Plus, you can write off all the vet bills and dog food as a business expense.

Make sure the dogs are well trained and happy and healthy. Make sure to watch the Dog Whisperer on a regular basis so if a training issue crops up you know how to handle it, and above everything else, never get a dog that bites or is mean, and make sure the dogs get all their shots. You will also need good business insurance….a must for ANY home run business.

What can you charge? Find out what other day spas charge in your area and then charge a little less. Once you have established your clientel you can raise your prices to the current rates. If you have satisfied customers this should not be a problem at all.

Should you tell your customers their feet are being licked by dogs? That’s up to you, but may I suggest that it would be better to let this up to their imagination. LOL!!

Above all, have FUN!

Watch for more of my hubs on how to make money in unusual and unconventional ways.

 Most people like the delicate way a smaller dog licks their feet. Bigger dogs can kind of get carried away with their intensity to please their masters. it is not very relaxing to feel as if your foot is being licked into oblivion.

Of course everyone has their own personal preferences, so it is probably best to have a variety of dogs trained in foot licking to be on call at all times. Just put a beeper on their collar, they will take it from there.

For even extra money, you can have foot licking classes for dogs. Teach dog the in and outs, the every little curve and indentation of proper foot licking. You can even get into the foot licking dog business and breed dogs that are excellent foot lickers. The oppourtunities are endless and profitable as well.
