Wellbeing on Walks: Online Development Programme for Dog Walkers
This programme is suitable for dog walking professionals, sitters, boarders, or those considering setting up a dog care business in the future. It is centered around helping you to understand more about dog behaviour, understanding the dogs that you work with, and key things you should consider in your practice so that you can cater for the wellbeing of the dogs that you care for.
The programme is packed with essential information for dog walkers, including:
●Dog body language, splitting, play bows, and ‘fun policing’.
●Trigger stacking, the emotional bucket, decompression.
●Dog law in the UK (specifically England and Wales).
●Play: healthy, balanced, unbalanced.
●Walking with a sensitive dog, understanding their triggers and accommodating their needs on walks.
●Social preferences in dogs.

I put this programme together in a way that I felt would be accessible for everyone, with minimal time constraints. I know how busy life can be, and it isn’t always easy to make online meetings or webinars at specific dates and times. Because of this, the programme is delivered in a way that is flexible. Every two weeks I will email you an access link to a topic and module, which contains information for you to read through. There will be questions at the end of each of these (which I ask you to answer in your own words and return to me by the time your next module is sent through) to evidence not only your understanding of the topic, but how you can apply your knowledge to every day situations. I provide feedback on these, and you are welcome to ask questions.
There are 8 modules in total. The course will take approximately 16 – 18 weeks for you to complete, although you are welcome to complete it sooner if you find you are a study-bug like me!
What do I receive?
As well as new understanding, knowledge, and ideas for you as a professional, upon completion, you will receive an electronic certificate, and a logo for your website or social media.

Please message me via my website, or email slewisdogtraining@yahoo.com. I can provide you with details of when the next programme you can join will begin. I do limit the amount of places available during each cohort so that I can dedicate quality time to reading through your submissions, and providing individualised feedback.
