How hiring a dog walker helps your pets behavior

Many people I meet say they would love to get a dog, but don’t have time to walk them. I hear that and understand what that looks like because I have 3 kids, a small business, and a little dog that can’t hold his urine for longer than 5 hours. It takes quite a bit of juggling in my schedule to get things taken care of for everyone, and sometimes, I let my dog out in the backyard hoping he will see the neighbors dogs and run around with Shadow the poodle he calls friend.

I have to admit that I love looking out my bedroom window seeing him have fun, but that means I need to step away from whatever I’m doing to focus on him. Sometimes I really wish there were 2 more of me. Can you relate?

The point is don’t be perfect, but do strive to get those walks in with your puppy or dog. Chances are your dog is sleeping while you are away and a walk can provide very important mental stimulation for a dog. Toys don’t give our pets what they need. Yes, I do agree that when we play with our pet or someone in the family plays with the dog, he will get closer and bond with that person. This is extremely important! Don’t discount whatever time you have to play with your loved one, your dog.

Physical stimulation and mental stimulation are key to a dogs behavior. That’s right folks, our dogs need both, just as we do. And it has to occur on a daily basis. Improvements in all areas of a dogs health can be had in just 30 minutes twice a day, with a smaller walk in between.
