I just have my camera with me. I shoot anywhere and anything. I tell people what I do and they can give me their info.
I don't start a commission unless they order it. I have my blog on my card and let them contact me. IF they see a dog on the blog they want to buy, it is the same price. I try to NOT paint a dog I know who the owner is, in case they do want to commission something. Often they will want a larger piece, so why undersell myself! If they are interested I don't give them the possibility of lifting the piece from the site.
I try to practice on as many different breeds as possible so if they ask, I can show them one. I don't really sell. They would kick me out of the park if I did. I make myself available and if they ask, I tell them.
