Recently I heard someone say "If you need a dog walker, you shouldn't have a dog."
'Dog walker' is such an understated title and those who use it are by far not given enough credit for it!! Trust me we are out in all weather's, dealing with all kinds of chaos from livestock to traffic.
Dog walkers are the bridge between the modern reality our dogs have been thrust into and the genetics dogs are bred with.
There are very few dogs who were not born to be content with 15 minute pavement walks, but everyone needs to work to be able to pay the bills.
Did you know behaviour problems rarely occur in nature?
Our dogs are captive animals, we've bred them to be!
They were not designed for sofa snoozing and short restrictive walks on a tight lead on paved ground.
When a behavioural issue occurs in an animal in captivity in zoo animals, it is recognised as the wrong environment for these animals to live in and thrive.
In dogs, we aim for them to be compliant and slap on a lazy excuse like 'dominance' or 'stubborn' if they don't do what we ask.
Good dog walkers are a modern day gift to our dogs, and if you use one, you are one of the fantastic owners who chooses to recognise the innate needs of your dog, and respect them for who they are.
You're not a lazy owner; you are doing what your dog needs.
Huge high five to all the dog walker friends out there! You deserve the recognition!!
