The Dog Walking and Safety course is built for those who love dogs but understand that walking them takes more than holding a lead. It’s about managing behaviour, staying alert to surroundings, and ensuring every walk is enjoyable and secure—for both dog and walker. Whether it’s a gentle stroll with a Shih Tzu or keeping pace with a lively Labrador, this course gives you the knowledge to approach dog walking professionally and responsibly.

Covering everything from dog psychology to weather safety, this dog walking course dives into leash handling, group walks, hazard awareness, emergency situations, and even legal considerations. You’ll gain a well-rounded view of what responsible dog walking involves, from picking safe routes to dealing with unpredictable canine moments. Whether you’re walking your own pet or setting up a business, you’ll walk away with the confidence to do it properly—and the insight to do it safely.
