VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY AS WE ARE WINDING DOWN OUR DOG WALKING SERVICES
Fight? Bites? Dogs running into each other, or you? Jumping up, ripping clothing, grabbing arms?
Dog walkers have sustained broken legs and ankles, bites on their hands, back injuries from excessive pulling on the lead, the list goes on. This prevents them from working, causing pain, long recovery times, and in some cases life changing injuries and PTSD.
Our practical safety training day teaches how to keep better control of the dogs – stopping the hyper-arousal many dogs go into on walks, leading to calmer, safer walks. Both for the other dogs, and for you.
The better your dogs behave, the easier you find it to walk them, you will be more able to create compatible groups rather which will help your business run smoother. The smoother your business runs, you will be able to charge more, lower costs, and make a decent living. It’s a dirty word, but it’s possible to give a good service to your clients, treat the dogs with kindness and respect, as well as make a profit.
If you are already up and running and struggling with your groups, or finding you can’t create groups from your current clients, we can help. We can guide you through introducing dogs safely, even when alone, assessing the behaviour of dogs on groups and teach you how to use your voice, your movement, and the environment to create really successful groups. You will also learn canine communication, and behaviour – from the experts themselves – the dogs.
If you haven’t started dog walking yet, we can guide you through the process while out with dogs, learning from them as well as Linda.
You travel with us, collecting dogs, unloading in the parks, and walking them. There is nothing hidden, you see everything – even if we have a bad day – you will see that, help problem solve, and understand that even with many years experience, the dogs can still find something to surprise us with! You will share in Linda’s skills and knowledge, as well as experience to smooth over any problems in a kind, effective way.
We work weekdays, so you may need to take a day or two off walking, or take leave from your job to spend time with us. The investment of your time will be well worth the effort – please check out all our Google reviews from other dog walkers who have attended our practical day.
You can also find Linda’s ebooks on Amazon, which address many of the frequently asked questions that she hears regularly.
We don’t have set days for booking, but we do encourage you to come on our busiest days to get more out of your visit. Feel free to give us a call, Whatsapp or email to find out more about how to book.
