I do not know of any positions offhand(walking dogs in Warsaw).I have a feeling you might not be ale to find such a position very easily in Warsaw.Warsaw is not London,obviously.The Poles are quite pragmatic.Money is tighter there...and well,they would probably tend to walk their own dogs.Of course...you could always teach TESOL if you can't find a job walking dogs....

There should be a bulletin board for doggie walkers. Is this some kind of April Fool ? Warsaw is an unlikely place to find jobs like this. And why would they give a job like this to a foreigner ?

[Well this foreigner happens to know a darn sight more about dog behaviour than you!!I was merely putting out feelers to see if their was a job market in my field and now i know theres not.Thanks. Mad

I am absolutely SURE you know more about dog behavior than me.The question in my mind was why you posted on a forum devoted to TESOL teachers.Your business of course,and no harm done,but you would probably have a better chance of getting some responses on a board devoted to dogs,or whatever.Anyway,no harm done.And best of luck in your job quest.Although I do not pretend to be a canine expert,I rather doubt you would make much money walking dogs in Warsaw.I have lived in Poland.

I like bnix am somewhat surprised that this should appear - here or anywhere. Why would someone who is not a Polish citizen expect to get a job doing this in Poland ? Truly the world is full of wonders.

Of course if and when Poland joins the EU, there will be mobility of labour there from the rest of the Union. But how much does a Polish dog-walker get ? Not enough for our English friend from Battersea Dogs' Home. That is a racing certainty.

Ok,fair point from bnix,re this was probably not the correct site to make enqueries about jobs with our 4 legged friends,and thank you for your comments.Sorry my last somewhat sarcastic reply was not aimed at you but at Mr i think im really funny scot47.. Cool

And now she has established there are no jobs walking canines, she will ask : "How do I get a job teaching English in Warsaw ? That must be really easy."
