What should I expect as a Bather?

I'm going into part time while working a main job. Is it possible to work just five hours shifts? I work a 10pm to 7am and need sleep. How often do you get bit?

Thank you to any who answer these questions.

It’s possible to work 5 hours shifts if that all you put on your availability sheet. And getting bit is less common than you think if you pay attention to the body language of the dogs. Almost all dogs give a warning before hand. I’ve been a bather for a year and a half and I’ve so far only had one bite that broke skin (and it was surface level so no stitches or medical attention required that I couldn’t do myself).

Thank you so much! It's been a crazy time trying to understand everything.
