As much as it may be possible that this is just an exaggeration of what a real DI may do to a child, I think that in some circumstances, this may be a viable alternative to either sending your son/daughter away to boarding school (to "push" the problem away), or waiting on them to break the law and be forced into a juvenile institution where they would be summarily disciplined and/or be forced to change the way they go about their daily lives. I wouldn't go so far as to have the DI physically abuse the child, but the concepts they may learn by a person who does this for a living may be the answer you and your spruce may have been looking for their entire lives. An informative "funny" and serious post. Thanks for putting it up.

Thank you for your kind words in responding to "Bring Boot Camp Home." It was a humorous posting I had a lot of fun writing. There isn't any such person or company offering such services that I know of. You are welcome to the idea, with the opportunity to break some ground in a new profession. There should be a great market need here, if clients can afford the DI. By the way, It would help for basic education to read about/actually train dogs at dog owners' homes.
I think the greatest benefit here which you pointed out is in teens learning discipline at home, rather than being shipped off to a distant, isolated camp. They could still stay in school, sleep in their own beds. Hey, kids take lessons outside of school, in tennis and golf. Why not in this program?
And it might be something for kids to brag about, an "in" thing among their peers to have a personal DI trainer. Who knows? This may be the first time anyone ever paid the kid any attention -- and that the kid might welcome. --30--.

Problems with licensing. Before becoming self-employed as a D.I. you will need to check the laws in your state. Would you have to have a certification as a teacher to teach kids the proper behavior? Can you get by via Home-Schooling for others? As a tutor? This may be a problem because a child is involved.
You may not want to work under your own name. Most likely, you will need a business license from your city/town. Like one of those D.B.A. (doing-business-as registrations.) That way you will be able to cash any checks made out as, say: “D.I. On Call” (which may also require a fictitious name registration with your state). Try “Martha Smith and Associates” and see if that will work to cash checks made out in your name for your services as a D.I.

You can franchise the D.I. idea provided you establish a working and profitable D.I. biz on your own, work out a manual for operating it, provide training, set instructions and rules -- all this of yours learned from firsthand experience. Aside from that, I know nothing more of what is involved with franchising a business of your own. You’ll need to research that. --30--

I don’t know where one would find a D.I. as described in this article. I doubt if there are any. This article was written as humor. Not fact. Thank you for inquiring.

My posting here called “Bring Boot Camp Home” is intended as humor. All humor. When written, it was not intended as a parental guide on actually setting up a boot camp at home, although I suppose this enterprise may be possible and I may have even invented a new profession -- the visiting at-home Discipline Instructor. However and nevertheless, before any parents even consider such an undertaking at home, please go the professionals. Always.
