Professional dog walking has grown rapidly over the last ten years, and more and more dog lovers enter the field every day. What most dog owners don’t realise is that, because walking is a young business, there is currently no regulating body to dictate the standards of care or qualifications for the work. In short, anyone can call themselves a professional dog walker, with nothing but a love of dogs to qualify them.

But walking dogs, particularly in groups, takes more than the passion we all share for them.

There are specialised knowledge and skill sets, as well as ethical business practices that are necessary to ensure the safety of the dogs in a walker’s care, as well as the safety and enjoyment of other dogs and humans who share the, parks, fields and pavements.
