Trainers and canine professionals, this one is on us.

People trust us. They trust that if a session, class, workshop, walk, or event is running, then it is safe for their dog to attend.

Yes, every dog is an individual. Some cope far better with heat than others, and owners should absolutely know their dog’s limitations. But ultimately, when we are the professional in charge, the responsibility for deciding whether an activity should go ahead sits with us.

I know the vast majority of canine professionals make the difficult decision to cancel without a second thought when welfare is at risk. We absorb the financial hit, rearrange diaries, disappoint clients, and add pressure to our businesses because we know that dog welfare has to come first.

But there are still too many occasions where dogs are being asked to work, train, compete, travel, or exercise in conditions that simply aren’t appropriate.

To all the trainers, walkers, behaviourists, daycare providers, groomers, and other canine professionals out there: owners look to us to make informed decisions. They trust our judgement. They trust us to put their dog’s welfare above our profits, schedules, and convenience.

If there is ever a choice between protecting your business for a day or protecting a dog’s welfare, there shouldn’t be a choice at all.

The dogs don’t get to advocate for themselves.

That’s our job.
