FAQs About Hiring A Dog Walker

By Velma Roberson


If you have been thinking about hiring an Oakland dog walker, you are not alone. More and more people are utilizing a service such as this to ensure that their beloved pets get the exercise they need. This is not only important for an animal's physical health but for their mental well being as well. Experts have discussed in length the importance of this daily activity for canines.

Several behavior issues in canines can be directly attributed to lack of walking. Your pet should be taken out for at least an hour per day. More often is even better. When this does not happen your canine becomes bored and frustrated. This can lead to destructive behavior.

Another common question is how this will benefit your canine. If any behavioral issues have been noted, such as chewing, digging and howling it could be the result of boredom or excess energy. Walking will help with these conditions. If the animal is a finicky eater, it will also help with that by allowing him to work up an appetite.

Your pet is not eating. When your pooch is walked, he will come home hungry. It really is as simple as that. If on the other hand he lays around the house all day, he will not work up an appetite.

Finally how long and often a walk should be in another concern. Daily is best. More than once a day is better. An hour at a time is good. That being said, if you have to break up the hour into two half hour sessions or three, twenty minute sessions, do it. Something is better than nothing.

Following these tips can help make the process of hiring an Oakland Dog Walker easier. Once you find the best person for the job set up a schedule and let the walks begin. Your canine will be happier and better behaved because of it. A well behaved pet makes the home a nicer place.
