Dogs enjoy activity and we expect our dog carer au pairs to take the opportunity to learn new skills and practice or perfect those they have already learned. There are opportunities to attend Championship shows and some of our au pairs have handled our dogs at Great Britain's most prestigious shows including Crufts. Our dog carer au pairs have also enjoyed agility, helped with hydrotherapy, worked towards awards such as the Kennel Club Good Citizens Scheme Tests, practiced tracking and obedience skills. Some have brought more exotic arts with them such as canine massage or used their time to fine tuned their grooming skills. The dogs love learning new things and revel in the attention and fuss.
