Careers with Dogs


Kennel Jobs are the starting point for most careers working with dogs.

Dog Trainer Most dog trainers are self employed but some animal rescue centres will employ dog trainers and behaviourists to work with the dogs brought into their centres for rehoming.

Dog Walking is becoming an increasingly popular career choice for those who want to work with dogs are physically fit, don't want a desk job and want to work from home.

Dog Handler Before becoming a dog handler, individuals are required to join the organisation where they intend to work. For example, police handlers have to spend two years in ordinary police training before transferring to the dog section.

Dog Groomer Dog grooming as a career choice can be very rewarding. Regular grooming can prevent problems such as excessive shedding, painful mats, as well as help identify other problems, for example; sores, fleas lumps, cuts, rashes even bad teeth, that might go unnoticed without the hands on attention.

Dog Home Boarding is a good career choice if you are active, love walking and would like to work from home and have your own business.

Dog Warden, Animal Warden, Dog Control Officer, Animal Welfare Officer, are the many different titles that may be given to a person who works directly or indirectly, for a Local Authority as a result of the 1990 Environmental Protection Act. The act requires for a person from each local authority in the UK to be employed for the collection of stray dogs.

Dog Behaviourists are sometimes called Animal Psychologists, animal behaviourists or Pet Behaviour Counsellors. They diagnose and treat behavioural problems in animals, such as aggression and phobias and work mainly with domestic pets or animals in zoos.

Kennel Managers are employed by private boarding and breeding establishments and charitable organisations to oversee the day to day running of the organisation.

Assistance dog trainers train dogs to help people with sight or hearing difficulties, physical disabilities, and those prone to seizures, to lead independent lives.

Dog transport/pet taxi businesses is a growing industry and a rewarding career if you enjoy driving, are happy working flexible hours and would like to run your own pet related business.
