About Ash Moore: She is the owner, dog attendant and Director of Belly Rubs at Black Dog & Company. She is a Certified Wedding Planner through The Wedding Planners Institute of Canada (WPIC). You can expect to see her at your wedding accompanying your dog when you book with Black Dog & Company. In this episode, Jamie, Heather and Ash discuss: Bringing your furry best friend in one of the most important days of your life - your wedding day Logistical challenges when bringing in a pup for a wedding day Some challenges with people as a wedding planner and dog attendant The downsides to being a “Director of Belly Rubs” (if any!) Key Takeaways: Our pets are part of our family and the meaningfulness of the wedding increases if our furry best friends are included and taken care of during the wedding day Being a dog attendant in weddings is mostly balancing energy levels. Wedding days are high energy, super fun and stressful. The dogs are often feeding off the energy that the humans are giving off. Make sure that somebody trustworthy and reliable is always attending your dog when at weddings. As a wedding planner, remember that if a couple includes a dog in their wedding, that’s probably because their dog is very special to them and thus they deserve a special kind of service. "This isn’t like a ‘tuck and roll, fido gets out of the car, ‘bye, have a great wedding day’’ situation. I would never treat someone’s dog like that and if someone treated my dog like that, we’re gonna have some words." — Ash Moore
