Vocational Dog Walking Skills Courses
This innovative and stimulating course, builds on the Care & Welfare Course and the Training Dogs course. Participants will learn that there is far more to Vocational Dog Walking than walking your own pet dog, including:
- Business Planning
- Marketing
- Financial Planning
- Customer service
- How to put together a Dog Walking Service Contract with Customers
- Health & Safety & Risk Assessment
- The Law relating to dogs and dog walking
- Insurance considerations
In addition, at least 50% of the core time will be spent professionally walking the dogs of real customers, with the support and guidance of the course staff.
Trainees must have successfully completed the Care & Welfare Course and the Dog Training Course before starting the Vocational Dog Walking Course.
Trainees' coursework is assessed through a variety of methods including photographic and video assessment. There is no requirement for learners to sit exams or tests or even do any writing at all if they choose not to. After all, dogs only care about being taken for a walk.
This course is available over six learning levels (Level 3, Level 2, Level 1, Entry Level 3, Entry Level 2, Entry Level 1).
An explanation of the learning levels and other FAQs can be found on the Agored website
