The salary of a dog handler is quite considerable, generally between 8,000 and 15,000 RMB. The work of a dog handler mainly includes: training dogs, taking dogs to participate in competitions, or acting as a dog agent. Therefore, their income mainly comes from collecting foster care fees and competition fees.

The profession of dog handler originated from the British dog show in the 19th century. Dog handlers generally held "left-hand handles". "The dog holds the gun in the right hand." With today's development, the dog handler's right hand no longer holds the gun, but the habit of holding the dog with the left hand remains. When participating in a competition, the handler is generally required to run a circular route counterclockwise so that the dog is on his left side.
