In the first part of your course, you'll build a foundation for your career in the pet industry. You'll discover the many opportunities available to you as a dog daycare provider. You might open a doggy daycare facility, offer dog-walking services or board dogs over night. You'll also learn all about the tools and supplies you'll need to safely provide these services. Of course, a strong understanding of the dogs themselves will be essential to your career as a dog daycare provider. In the introductory units of your course, you'll learn all about dog behavior and communication. You'll discover how a dog's breed, age and health can impact its behavior.
With all this information, you'll feel confident and prepared when you care for dogs.
Although caring for dogs is a big responsibility, it's also a lot of fun! You'll learn all about the activities you can perform with dogs to ensure they receive social, physical, emotional and cognitive stimulation at daycare.
