DOG WALKS

Benefits of Using a Dog Walker - For your Dog:

• Regular exercise to ensure good physical and mental health

• Exercise improves a dog's muscle tone

• Running and playing can tire a dog so he is less likely to misbehave

• Important socialization for raising well-adjusted dogs

• Daily mid-day visits for puppies help maintain a consistent housebreaking schedule

• Elderly and adult dogs need bathroom breaks too

• Crate trained puppies need to get out every 3 - 4 hours for proper training and socialization. Over-crating and under exercising can result in a hyperactive, under-socialized dog

• Walking provides routine practice for using basic commands such as "heel", "sit", "stay", and "come". (Dog walking is NOT a replacement for proper basic obedience training. We only support the dog's established training through repetition.)

Benefits of Using a Dog Walker - For You:

• A helping hand when you have a busy schedule

• No guilt at having a busy schedule

• Adequate exercise can improve a dog's behavior in the home

• Your dog may actually want to relax WITH you when you come home

• Relieves your concerns about leaving your dog crated
