A Complete Course for Dog Walkers & Boarders

Professional Safety Protocols, Risk Management, and the Science of Cooperative Care.

About This Course

In the professional pet care industry, there is a massive difference between "loving dogs" and "managing dogs." Whether you are a solo dog walker or a facility-based boarder, you are responsible for the lives of the animals in your care and the safety of the public.

This course is a comprehensive deep-dive into the tactical side of professional dog handling. Developed by Vinny Olito and the team at Camp Ruff Ruff, these protocols have been tested in high-volume, cage-free environments and complex behavioral consulting cases. We bridge the gap between "getting the job done" and "operating with professional excellence."

What You Will Master:

• The P-Loop Methodology: Our proprietary approach to leash handling and physical control that prioritizes safety for both the handler and the dog.
• Triple Management Systems: How to set up "Air-Lock" entries, secure transitions, and environmental safeguards to prevent escapes and incidents.
• Reading Thresholds & Body Language: Learn to identify "Pre-Event" signals (like whale eye and stiffening) and understand the ABC's of Behavior before a situation escalates.
• Operational Safety: Tactical protocols for walking in urban/suburban environments, managing "Success Gaps," and handle-safety during high-arousal moments.
• Cooperative Handling: Moving away from outdated "control" models to focus on clear communication, predictability, and building a secure bond through proactive management.
• Emergency Management: Clear, step-by-step instructions on what to do when things go wrong, from equipment failure to off-leash dog encounters.

Who Is This For?

• Professional Dog Walkers looking to upgrade their safety standards and justify higher rates.
• Boarding Facility Staff who need a standardized protocol for cage-free management.
• Pet Sitters who want to minimize liability and increase their behavioral knowledge.
• Aspiring Professionals who want to start their business with a Force-Free, "Safety-First" foundation.

• Property of CRR Frameworks: Access to the same "Biological Blueprints" we use at our Staten Island and Saylorsburg locations.
• Certification of Completion: A professional credential to show your clients that you prioritize their dog’s safety through advanced, science-based education.
