Your Resident Dog Walker

10/03/2022

Don’t forget, I’ll be unavailble this Friday when I’ll be at Crufts at the NEC.
I’ll be walking the walk by participating within obedience demonstrations throughout the day in collaboration with The Kennel Club UK, as well as taking part in the Discover Dogs exhibition in Hall 3.

What does dog grooming have to do with dog walking?

The styling and finishing of a dog are the most technical aspects of grooming.
Careful handling whilst maintaining the welfare of a dog throughout the process, are most important.
Professional handling and attention to health and welfare is not exclusive to the salon - it can be applied to dog walks too.

I would love to take the dogs I walk home with me. But I have so far been able to resist - and can prove this in the form of a standard DBS check (available upon request).

Did you know neither dog groomers, walkers or boarders, are required to hold a first aid certificate?

Did you also know anyone can administer emergency first aid care to help save life or relieve pain and suffering of an animal under Schedule 3 of The Veterinary Surgeons Act 1996?

Accidents happen and for when they do, I am confident in:

Principles of first aid
Basic signs of ill health
Restraint and transportation
Collapse, unconsciousness, and death
Shock
Cardio-pulmonary arrest
Cardio-pulmonary cerebral resuscitation
First aid conditions and their management
Wound management

Being able to recognise the various behavioural and environmental causes for aggression means being able to foresee possible triggers and navigating your environment (or walk) to avoid them.

I loved every minute of the 144 hours I spent studying to achieve the following qualification, which helps me to better understand the behaviour and potential needs of the dogs I walk.

The Institute Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) is the leading education provider for Dog Trainers and Behaviourists and a registered learning centre for The Open College Network (OCN). Their love and respect for dogs demonstrated using positive reinforcement and training methods is what I find most appealing.
