Staffordshire-based dog chaperone specialist Precious Pets Weddings, based in Weston Coyney, has launched a training course aimed at raising standards across the sector. The CPD-accredited Wedding Dog Chaperone Course is designed for dog groomers, walkers and other pet professionals looking to move into the growing wedding market. The course focuses on dog welfare, safety and professional standards, teaching delegates how to work legally and responsibly while handling pets at weddings. Precious Pets Weddings, run by Emma and Ade Cartlich, launched in 2018. Emma told Daily Focus: “As this industry has grown, we’ve seen a worrying trend – people turning up to weddings with little experience, no insurance and no understanding of dog welfare. “This puts dogs, couples, venues and suppliers at risk, and damages the reputation of a service that should be trusted and professional.” The course, which costs £649, will have dates available in July, September and November. Bookings are due to open soon.
