Your wedding day is one of the most important milestones in your life, and if you’re like many couples, your furry friend is a cherished part of your family. Including your dog in the celebration is a beautiful way to share the love, but it can also bring challenges. This is where a professional pet attendant service comes in—and if your pup is well-trained, the experience is even smoother!
Whether your dog is walking down the aisle, posing for photos, or simply enjoying the festivities, here’s why you’ll want to include both training and pet attendant services for your Delaware wedding.
The Role of a Pet Attendant at Your Wedding
A pet attendant is much more than just someone who walks your dog. Jessica Strong, owner of Sit Means Sit Dog Training in Elkton, Maryland and Wilmington, Delaware, says, “We understand how important it is for your wedding to run smoothly, which is why we offer specialized pet attendant services to ensure your dog is a well-behaved, relaxed part of your big day. We have a dedicated team that handles all the logistics for your dog’s care throughout the day so you can focus on your wedding without worrying about your pet.”
They offer valuable services like:
- Transportation of your pup to and from the venue
- Supervision during the event to keep your dog safe and calm
- Assistance during photo ops to ensure your pup poses perfectly for those cherished moments
- Breaks and walks so your dog can stay happy and comfortable
- Feeding and hydration to keep them energized
- Attending to their needs (playtime, bathroom breaks, etc.) so they don’t feel neglected or anxious
- Work closely with your wedding coordinator to make sure everything runs smoothly
With a pet attendant, you can rest easy knowing that every detail regarding your dog’s well-being is in the hands of professionals who specialize in dog care.
Why Training Matters for Your Wedding
“Bringing an untrained or anxious dog to a wedding can lead to unpredictable situations, which is why we recommend pre-wedding training to help your dog adjust to new surroundings and unfamiliar people,” says Jessica. “Our program will prepare your dog for the big day by teaching them essential skills.”
The Sit Means Sit Wedding Training Program will teach your dog:
- Proper leash walking so they can walk down the aisle gracefully
- Basic commands to ensure they behave calmly in large crowds
- Impulse control to prevent jumping, barking, or getting overly excited
- Posing for photos to make sure you capture the perfect moments
- Socialization with guests so they’re comfortable around strangers
They offer specialized training plans for all skill levels to ensure your dog is ready to be part of the wedding celebration.
“Our team is committed to making sure your dog looks great, feels great, and performs great,” says Jessica. “From basic obedience training to preparing your pup for their big role in your wedding, we will guide you every step of the way.”
Your dog is an important part of your family, and they can be an important part of your wedding day too!
