Would it be feasible to charge people to train their dogs to do tricks?

I am not very interested in obedience, but I love to do agility, flyball and especially trick training. Without the obedience classes, would a dog training center still be feasible? Would you go?
Our flyball “club” does charge for introduction training as it takes away alot of training time from the active canine members.
I was planning on a dog daycare, with classes in the evening. The dog daycare is feasible where I live, the classes would be fun.

i would think so
I wouldn’t, no.
But I would think for sure some people would.
My trainer’s facility offers agility courses…he charges for them.
I know some other facilities charge for “tricks courses” as well.
My thing is, I have no problem paying for that kind of stuff (if I wanted to – but google is free when it comes to dog tricks) but that facility better be teaching obedience classes as well. So at least I know that these trainers are reputable.
As far as flyball – I was under the impression that flyball people usually do things as a “club” (free of charge) until they go to competitions than each owner has to pay for their own registration.
some places specialize in agility etc, so yes, that’s feasible- but most people don’t make enough money at it unless they are very, very good- both as competitors (winning national level competitions) and also good instructors and business people. Consider offering tricks classes for a shelter, or another obedience school or training club.
