Happy Dog….Happy Life
Ever just feel like your life would be so much better if your dog got the amount of exercise that he or she deserves? We all want to spend time with our dogs having leisurely walks on green grass, but unfortunately, our schedules don’t always co-operate! Many jobs require an 8 am start time, and getting up and ready by 7:30 am to do a half hour of travel time is challenging enough. We tell ourselves we’ll walk our dog when we arrive back home, but we are so tired that it rarely happens.
Dog Walking Services
A professional dog walker is one solution to this never ending cycle. We are not talking about the neighborhood teenager or the stranger that wants a part time, past time; we are speaking about a certified dog walker! This is an individual that has had actual training in handling canines, other than their own. A dog walker knows different types of equipment like harnesses, martingales, gentle leaders etc. He/She is versed in canine body language, positive training methods, and the proper healthy amount of exercise. It is important to give your dog an optimum daily dose of mental and physical exertion to reinforce obedience skills.
In the summer, a supervised swim or play in the shade of your back yard can be an added bonus. They may also ask if you would like your dog walked with other dogs or choose to have a walk alone. The social aspect can be fun for young, active dogs. Depending on what part of the country you live in, some dog walkers can do off leash walks as well.
Why Use A Professional Dog Walker
The dog walker will make sure your dog has ID and treats or toys for the walk. They pick up after the dog and properly dispose of waste; so your neighbors approve! The dog walker leaves your pet tired and happy for the rest of the day until you arrive home to your faithful and loving companion. Checking references, using a professional bonded and insured service is the safest and most desirable way to hire anyone caring for your dog, especially if transport is involved. Make sure you have a signed contract and know the individual’s credentials…get references. Most dog services charge monthly for the number of times you ask for the service per week. This is a huge help in that you only pay once per month, and usually it is a renewable credit card or check arrangement.
WE are committed to the idea that a big yard is not enough! Most dogs enjoy getting out! This also keeps problem behaviors like digging, barking, and pulling to a minimum. Added bonus…you will have a well exercised, happy dog!
