Walking not only gets your dog the exercise she/he needs, but it also stimulates his/her senses. Your dog gets to see, smell, feel, and hear all types of new and interesting things when out for a walk.  This stimulation often includes meeting other people or animals, which can be an excellent way to encourage proper socialization for your pup.  As humans, we often take for granted these brief encounters and stimuli, and we can easily forget that these are often the highlights of our pet’s day.

A tired dog is a good dog and a happy dog. Regular walking helps to release excess energy in your pup, resulting in calmer behavior at home.  With frequent, lengthy walks, your dog will be less inclined to have destructive behaviors such as, bark, chew, bite, use the bathroom indoors, etc.

Hiring a dog walker gives you the peace that your dog is well taken care of, even when you aren’t at home.  With a daily dog walker, you don’t have to worry as much if you need to stay late for work, or if your dog doesn’t completely “finish” when you take them out in the morning.  The knowledge that your dog will get quality time outdoors during the day also helps relieve the guilt or stress held by knowing your pup is otherwise locked up alone, often for 8 or more hours every day.  You can feel confident that you are doing the best you can for your pup, and that your dog is living a rewarding, happy life. You are providing them with the extra love you sometimes can not give because life can get in the way.

We all live busy lives, and every minute counts. Consistent lengthy walks are sometimes difficult to fit into your busy schedule.  We often wake up extra early, head home for our lunch hours, and delay making dinner for our families in an effort to make sure our dogs get the care they need.  With a regular dog walker, your dog still gets all of the exercise and attention they deserve, while you get back a great deal of time.  Your dog is happier, you’re happy, everyone wins!
