Interested in learning about how to 'dog'?

This is great for people thinking about getting a dog or for new dog owners who need some extra support.  

Why does rover bark on leash, or scratch when excited, or bark when you are holding the treat, or pee on the carpet, or eat the wall when you leave, or can't calm down, or pulls constantly on leash?

We can help you find your answers.

Walks don't have to be stressful.

Does your dog bark and lose it on leash? Was your dog transitioning from an off-leash play group? Is your dog developing some emotional regulation issues on leash? Is your dog displaying signs of anxiety and frustration?

On-leash walking is important. It offers a vastly different experience than off-leash directed (or often undirected) play.

Where is all of this anxiety and frustration coming from and how do you help your dog regulate their emotions? How do you encourage your dog and reward them when they self-soothe? How do you even recognise when they try to calm down?!

We've got you.

Being a dog walker is a dream job. 

In our industry, it's our job to provide high quality mental and physical exercise. I mean, you could just shove a bunch of dogs in your car and drive off to a dog park for the morning like so many others if you wanted to, I guess. 

There's currently no regulation in the pet services industry and bwd is creating some based on science and safety. This certificate will instantly make you legit. 

bwd can teach you how to do this job responsibly and to the maximum benefit of your dogs and the humans they watch over.
