Working in the sport of greyhound racing means many unique challenges that don’t exist anywhere else. It’s a passionate job; on a good day extremally rewarding but on other days it can be a real challenge.
This is a sport that requires care and attention every day; and not just to the dogs. Your mental health and wellbeing are vital.
