15 year old daughter would love to work with dogs

[bobby67346]

Hi all, my 15 year old daughter is home educated, and would love to work with dogs when she's older. She has a dream of becoming a dog behaviourist which I believe she will achieve. We would like her to get some work experience, or actual work, with dogs or animals. We are in Bexleyheath. Does anyone know of any places she could get some experience or work for a few hours a week where she could work with animals? thanks

You will find she is in competition with those who are studying for a BTEC/ T levels in Animal Management who are required to do something like 300 hours work with animals during their 2 year course. GD did a lot of voluntary work with a dog groomer and in a cattery and now has a holiday job (paid) in a doggy day care unit.
