Should You Consider A Dog Walker?
Exercise, play, mental stimulation and socialisation are important for your dog’s wellbeing, health and development. These activities also minimizes boredom, destructive and unwanted behavior such as chewing furniture and barking when alone.
However, our hectic lives make it hard to juggle the demands of work, running a household, raising a family and other time pressures we experience. Allocating time for your dog’s daily exercise can be impossible. And sometimes, life throws you a curve ball in the form of illness, temporary incapacity and immobility or busy periods and you may need a short-term solution.
Dogs are social animals and do not like to be left alone for hours. This is unavoidable as we need to make a living after all. If you live in an apartment, it’s unlikely your dog is exercising at all during the day. Even if you have a backyard, your dog may be exercising but may not be getting the level of socialisation and interaction required.
あなたがほとんどの日のために離れている場合は、あなたの犬が必要な運動や刺激を得ていないことを知っている、隣人が吠えと泣き声に不満を持って、トイレの混乱や家具を噛んだ家に帰って来る、またはあなたの行動の変化に気づいている犬、それから犬の歩行者を雇うことを検討する時間かもしれない。
Choosing a dog walker
Hiring a service is never cheap and you should take it seriously as you will be leaving the care of your beloved pet in the hands of another and will also need to trust them in your home.
You should ask potential walkers a range of questions and consider the needs of both you and your dog. Your dog’s age, breed, temperament, health, energy level and exercise preference will influence who is the right dog walker for you.
The best place to start is to seek advice from your vet, local pet store, trainers or friends and family who can recommend a dog walker.
