You may be thinking, "My dog has all the yard to play, I do not need a dog walker." Well, the court can entertain your dog for a short time, but that is not what our furry friends were born to do. Dogs are born to work! Each dog has special qualities about them on the basis of their race and what they were bred to do. Some were bred to herd livestock, hunting or to protect.
Dogs, like humans, are social animals and need daily exercise and stimulation. I became a dog walker and own my own business walking the dog and pet sitting, I saw how a lack of daily exercise and stimulation has negatively affected our furry best friends. Yesterday I took our Addison dog, a labrador seven years, to the vet for a checkup and I saw a great example of a dog that could benefit greatly from a dog walker.
I sit in the waiting room of the vet clinic, veterinary technician while listening to an elderly couple told dachshund that had gained weight. Now, dachshunds have small legs and excess body weight for this type of race is very difficult for them. The veterinary technician proceeded to tell your dog weighs 26. They both looked at each other and accused each other of not exercising the dog and chicken feeding dogs and other remains of the dinner table. Just look at this little dog broke my heart because his stomach was almost dragging on the ground and gasped.
This was an extreme example of how lack of exercise, overeating, and lack of mental stimulation can take your dog is bored and overweight. Being a dog owner and dog walker myself, I realize the huge responsibility of keeping a dog healthy and happy.
We all live busy lives and usually say, but if you work long hours and can not give your dog the attention it deserves, it is advisable to look into a professional company, bonded and insured dog walking in your area. A large number of companies offering walking dogs give discounts if you have your dog walked 4 or more times a week. Just call and discuss your situation to see if they can meet your needs
