CDWA IS YOURS: FOR YOU, ABOUT YOU AND HERE TO HELP YOU. Enjoy self-employment with relevant services and supports. Here are some Links and Resources for the community.
Special note: please register to become a CDWA member. This does a number of things:
• it positions you as professional class to Owners/the public
• it allows CDWA to provide relevant and high value services and supports to the practitioner community
• it also allows CDWA to build our public profile and build knowledge, responsible dog ownership and awareness among the public—services that are ultimately in each practitioner’s favour.
Members will be a special and well-promoted group of Canada’s elite service providers.
Aspiring or New Walkers. CDWA membership requires that you have been trained, either by an R+/FF Mentor, Employer or School in your first year. EduCanine has a great Mentorship program (Toronto). Membership is available at the Year One mark, with proof of R+/FF training. This prerequisite ensures that new walkers are effective, that they know enough to understand and reduce liability and provide adequate, well-informed services to the living beings in care.
