3 Advantages to Hiring a Dog Walker

Advantages to hiring a dog walker are:

1. Improved behaviour at home
Have you experienced any negative behaviour from your dog, for example chewing, boredom, hyperactivity anxiety aggressions and/or barking? If your answer is yes, you may consider increasing the number or length of walks with other dogs per week.

Behaviours like the above mentioned come from frustration. Frustration comes from a lack of exercise. When it comes to dealing with behaviour issues, adequate exercise for the breed and energy level is the first thing addressed. Once the energy is removed, the dog can focus on following commands. A good dog walker provides socialization and exercise that makes city pets calmer, better behaved, less aggressive, friendlier and cause fewer complaints.. A calm mind comes from a well exercised dog!

2. Physical Benefits
Regular exercise ensures good physical and mental health. Exercise improves a dog's muscle tone and leads to less physical injuries, a healthier heart and a longer life expectancy. Dogs need mental stimulation as well as physical. They benefit from longer walks or hikes with positive reinforcement of their established obedience training.

Regular dog walking provides routine practice for using basic commands such as "heel", "sit", "stay", and "come". Fetching, practicing commands and feeling useful is particularly valuable for working breeds.

3. Socialization
Walks with other dogs teach important socialization skills. They practice how to engage other dogs in play and learn important pack boundaries. Especially puppies that start training early benefit very much and are most well behaved and adjusted dogs.
