When choosing a dog walker, it is important to look for certifications or licenses that ensure the safety of your pup. Look for a walker who has completed a dog training program, like the Certification Program in Canine Insolesions and Massage Therapy from Animal Behavior Associates or a Dog Obedience Instructor's Training Course from the Association of Canine Professionals. You should also check whether they have earned credentials from organizations such as The National Association of Pet Professionals (NAPP), Penn Fosters School of Business; The American Kennel Club (AKC), Dogs’ Behaviour Councili (DBC);and/or International Boarding & Pet Services Association (IBPSA).
