Become a Certified Wedding Dog Chaperone

We know that signing up for this course is a big decision, and we’re here to make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

The investment reflects the depth of experience and guidance you’ll receive. 

The training programme gives you access to over seven years of hands-on experience as professional wedding dog chaperones. You’ll gain invaluable knowledge, skills, and insight drawn from real weddings, not theory.

The course is packed with practical, field-tested tools, so you can feel confident applying what you learn immediately. It’s professional training designed to prepare you properly, uphold high standards, and ensure dog welfare is always at the heart of your work.

The course is intentionally priced to:

• Protect the industry from poor-quality, untrained chaperones,
• Ensure only committed professionals enter the wedding & pet care industry,
• Maintain high standards rather than market saturation,
• This is about quality, not shortcuts.

This comprehensive course is designed to give you the confidence, knowledge, and professional skills needed to work successfully as a wedding dog chaperone. Blending canine welfare, event coordination, and client communication, you’ll learn how to deliver an exceptional service in one of the most fast-paced and emotional environments — a wedding day.

Your top priority is always the dog’s well being. You’ll learn how to:

• Confidently and safely support dogs throughout the flow of a busy wedding day
• Read canine body language and recognise early signs of stress, over stimulation, or fatigue
• Make calm, welfare-focused decisions in noisy, crowded, and unfamiliar environments
   

Weddings run on tight schedules and careful coordination. We’ll cover how to:

• Work professionally alongside venues, suppliers, celebrants/registrars, and planners
• Navigate wedding timelines and adapt to last-minute schedule changes
• Respect ceremony protocols, venue rules, and reception logistics while advocating for the dog’s needs
• Stay calm and solution-focused when unexpected challenges arise
   

Dogs are often a highlight of wedding photography. You’ll discover how to:

• Collaborate effectively with photographers and videographers
• Position and handle dogs safely for key moments and portraits
• Help couples achieve beautiful, natural photos and videos without compromising the dog’s comfort
   

Preparation is everything. You’ll learn how to:

• Build and organise a complete professional chaperone kit
• Plan for different weather conditions, venues, and dog personalities
• Present yourself as calm, capable, and fully prepared on the day.

Exceptional service starts long before the wedding day.

You’ll gain the skills to:

• Lead confident and professional client consultations
• Ask the right questions to understand both the couple’s vision and their dog’s needs
• Prepare clear, accurate quotations and service agreements
• Communicate professionally and warmly throughout the planning process
• Run relaxed, productive pre-wedding meet-and-greets that build trust with both dogs and owners
   

This course also supports you in turning your skills into a thriving service.

You’ll explore:

• Your legal responsibilities, insurance requirements, and professional standards
• Current wedding trends and how to tailor your service to modern couples
• Practical marketing strategies to attract your ideal clients
• How to present your business confidently at wedding fairs and venue open days.
   

All training is grounded in practical experience from hundreds of real weddings, giving you realistic expectations, proven strategies, and the confidence to handle the unique energy of a wedding day.

By the end of the course, you’ll be fully prepared to provide a calm, professional, and dog-centred service that couples can trust with one of the most important days of their lives.
