Benefits of Hiring a Dog Walker

Why Hire a Dog Walker?

If you own a dog, then you know how much your 4-legged friend loves a good walk! It makes them a happier dog which makes us happy pet owners. But for most busy working Americans with jobs and families; there aren’t enough hours in the day. We walk in exhausted and our pet has all the energy in the world! This can make for a frustrating homecoming. When you hire a dog walker, you are investing in your dog as well as your relationship with your pet.

Benefits of Regular Walks

• Health – We know that obesity affects half the population of dogs in the US, but regular walks can help shed those pesky pounds. Walking also helps their cardiovascular health.
• Socialization – Dogs need to see other people and animals regularly so they do not become fearful of the outside world. Nobody likes to have the dog that barks and growls at everything that moves!
• Routine – Dogs love routine! They will begin to see the pattern and look forward to their regular walks.
• Mental Health – New smells, new sights, new people and other pets! Dogs, just like people enjoy getting out and seeing new things. A happy dog is a well-behaved dog.
