1. While the first "meet and greet" walk is free of charge for the new customer, you will still be paid for the service.

Explanation

The statement implies that although the initial "meet and greet" walk is free for the new customer, the person providing the service will still receive payment. This suggests that the service provider values their time and expertise, and even though they are offering a complimentary first walk, they expect to be compensated for their services in the long run. Therefore, the answer is true.

3. True or False: A dog who is pacing, flicking his tongue, and has a shrunken posture is feeling stressed.

Explanation

A dog who is pacing, flicking his tongue, and has a shrunken posture is displaying classic signs of stress. Pacing is often a sign of restlessness or anxiety, flicking the tongue can be a self-soothing behavior, and a shrunken posture indicates fear or discomfort. Therefore, it can be concluded that the dog is feeling stressed.

4. You have arrived at a home for a home access walk, and have notified the owner with the  "I am here" button. However, as you are leashing up the dog inside, you realize that you have not had anything to drink all day, and you are parched. What should you do?

Explanation

"Get in, get out"-- Our clients don't want us hanging around in their homes longer than we need to be, and they especially don't want us snooping around. Take as much time as you need to make sure that the dog is comfortable with you, but take that much time only, and get started with the walk as quickly as possible.

Submit
5. You have accepted a home access order for a beagle who has passed her "meet and greet" with flying colors. However, when you open the door, she is growling at you, hackles raised, showing her teeth, and eyeing you suspiciously. What should you do?

Explanation

In this situation, the beagle is displaying aggressive behavior by growling, raising her hackles, showing her teeth, and eyeing the person suspiciously. It is important to prioritize safety in such situations. The correct answer suggests calmly and slowly backing out of the house, shutting and locking the door, and calling HQ. This response ensures that the person removes themselves from the potentially dangerous situation and seeks assistance from headquarters to address the aggressive behavior of the dog.

7. You have arrived for a home access walk. The Labrador who you're supposed to walk for has a stiff stance, his ears are perked and his tail is straight up, wagging a little. What is the dog telling you, and what is your response?

Explanation

The Labrador's stiff stance, perked ears, and straight-up tail with a slight wag indicate suspicion. The appropriate response would be to look away from the dog, give him space, and wait for him to approach and relax his stance. This approach allows the dog to feel more comfortable and establishes trust before proceeding with the walk.

Submit

10. This time, you're at a home to walk a yorkie. She seems interested, sniffing you and wagging her tail happily. As you reach to pet her, however, she suddenly freezes, stops wagging and sniffing, looks away with wide eyes, and licks her lips. What is the proper response?

Explanation

The proper response in this situation is to stop, pull your hand back, and slowly back away and turn, avoiding eye contact. This is because the yorkie is displaying signs of fear or discomfort, such as freezing, avoiding eye contact, and licking her lips. By backing away and avoiding direct eye contact, you are giving the dog space and not escalating the situation further. This response shows respect for the dog's boundaries and allows her to feel more comfortable.

Submit
11. A wagging tail means that the dog is happy.

Explanation

A dog that is feeling threatened or alert may wag his tail. A tightly vibrating tail, especially when pointing straight up, can indicate intent to attack.

Submit
12. If you enter a home, and the dog is barking at you, hold your ground and put a backpack or something in front of you.    

Explanation

If you enter a home and the dog starts barking at you, holding your ground and putting a backpack or something in front of you can help create a physical barrier between you and the dog. This can help make the dog feel less threatened and reduce the likelihood of it attacking or approaching you aggressively. By not backing away or showing fear, you are asserting yourself as a non-threatening presence, which can help calm the dog down.

Submit
13. What ear stance can indicate that the dog may become aggressive?

Explanation

When a dog's ears are perked up and forward, it indicates that they are alert and paying attention to their surroundings. This can be a sign of potential aggression as the dog is on high alert and ready to react. Similarly, when a dog's ears are flattened back, it suggests fear or submission, which can escalate into aggression if the dog feels threatened or cornered. Therefore, both perked up and forward ears, as well as flattened back ears, can be indicators that a dog may become aggressive.

Submit
14. The purpose of a meet and greet is:

Explanation

The purpose of a meet and greet is to represent Zingy and project your and the team's professionalism. This means that during the meet and greet, you should present yourself and the team in a professional manner, showcasing the values and image of Zingy. Additionally, the meet and greet is also meant to assess the dog's behavior to determine whether or not the dog is suitable for the home access feature. This involves observing the dog's behavior and evaluating if it is compatible with the requirements of the home access feature.

Submit
15. Primarily, how do dogs communicate, and what should you be especially aware of when working with a dog?

Explanation

Dogs primarily communicate through body language, facial expressions, and eye contact. These non-verbal cues are important to be aware of when working with a dog as they can indicate the dog's emotions, intentions, and level of comfort. Understanding and interpreting these signals can help in effectively communicating with and handling dogs, ensuring their well-being and preventing any potential conflicts or misunderstandings.

Submit
16. Which of the following are true?

Explanation

Wide eyes indicate stress because when a dog is stressed, their eyes may appear wide and alert. Squinting indicates submission or sickness because when a dog is feeling submissive or unwell, they may squint their eyes as a sign of vulnerability. A direct stare with a closed mouth means the dog is threatening you because this behavior is often seen as aggressive and confrontational.

Submit
17. What is the purpose of the post-walk dog rating?

Explanation

The purpose of the post-walk dog rating is to inform HQ and other walkers about your experience with the dog. This allows HQ to gather feedback and assess the behavior and temperament of the dog, which can be helpful for future walks. It also helps other walkers to have an idea of what to expect when walking the same dog.
