Description
Dog walking is the act of a person walking with a dog, typically from the dog's residence and then returning. Both owners and pets receive many benefits, including exercise and companionship. In the UK, The Kennel Club surveyed 1,000 dog owners and found that one in five did not walk their dogs on a daily basis. Dogs are walked restrained by a collar around their neck or by a harness, or by simply following their guardian by familiarity and verbal control. Commonly, the dog is walked by the guardian, or by another family member, but there are also professional dog walkers.
Aside from the fact that it can be great fun, did you know that working with animals can reduce blood pressure? This Dog Walking Diploma Course is designed for individuals who want to set up a professional dog walking business. Are you an animal lover and dog owner who is considering a new career or hobby? This training course will give you the skills and practical knowledge you need to provide expert care for your four-legged friends.
If you’re wondering how to become a dog walker, there are some things you need to consider first.
The pooches could be quite a handful, so you need to understand canine behavior and have their best interests at heart. With some dog walkers walking multiple dogs at once, this is imperative.
If you would like to gain more experience with dogs, you could always consider volunteering at your local kennels or rescue center.
You also need to have strong interpersonal and communication skills, which will come in handy when dealing with the pets’ owners and growing your network. You need to be physically fit, too, because the walks will be long and the dogs may be strong.
And if you’re someone who balks at braving the great outdoors when it’s cold, wet or muddy, be prepared. You’ll be outside come rain or shine, so feeling comfortable in bad weather is an absolute must.
