12/03/03

Sick and tired of the daily 9 ?5 routine? Bored of being stuck behind a desk in a stuffy office? Solution, become your own boss and work with animals. 12, 000, 000 people own pets in the UK, that?s an awful lot of dogs and cats that need looking after whilst their owners are at work or on holiday. Who do they need? A dedicated team of pet sitters and dog walkers. Imagine spending your days roaming the peaceful countryside or striding through lush woodland with mans best friend as your companion. This is how your days would be spent if you decided to buy into a franchise from one of the UK?s highest regarded and popular pet sitting companies, The Companion Animal Company.A founder member of The Register Of Insured Pet Sitters And Dogwalkers, Fiona Mackenzie is one of the directors of The Companion Animal Company. She says, ?The Companion Animal Company is highly regarded as being a company that puts pet care before profit. ? Fiona believing that the franchise is the lowest priced pet care franchise ANYWHERE proves this. One of the aims of T.R.I.P.A.D was to help people with little or no income to invest in becoming independent, freelance dog walkers and pet sitters. At just ?950, which can be paid off monthly, the individual benefits from a huge amount of support from T.R.I.P.A.D and The Companion Animal Company. This includes 24-hour support, ongoing training in all areas of animal care and full public liability insurance as well as much much more. Obviously they could charge much more for this excellent package but they stick firmly by their motto ? Pet care before Profit?.With the help of K9 Media Solutions Ltd, T.R.I.P.A.D and The Companion Animal Company are undergoing a huge promotional campaign to increase the publics awareness that their staff only use positive reward based training and turn away all owners who use choke chains or check collars. Fiona says, ?Educating the pet owners about kinder discipline and training techniques is high on our agenda.? Fiona feels so strongly about educating animal owners and people working with animals that she has written two e-books that will be published early this year. ?Walk The Walk? which is aimed at people wishing to become a professional dog walker, gives lots of advice and information and ?The Professional Petsitter? which is the definitive guide to starting and running your own pet sitting or dog walking company.If you are interested in becoming a member, buying a franchise or in either of the books, further information can be obtained by visiting www.petsitdogwalk.co.uk
