5 Important Things You Should Do As A Professional Dog Walker

 

Being a dog walker is amazing, especially in the UK. But it also means you need to take care of the furry friend and make their owners happy. So here are five important things you should do to become a professional dog walker for both the puppies and their owners. 

Build Good Friendships with Pet Owners

Befriend pet owners by talking to them a lot. Share good outing stories and resolve any issues quickly. This builds trust and makes owners feel good that you are taking care of their pets. Also, keep an eye on the owner's behaviour to see whether he is enjoying your conversation or not, if not then stop the conversation as it may give a wrong impression.

Keep the Dogs Super Safe

Always use strong leashes and harnesses to keep the dogs safe. Know each dog's mood so there are no fights during walks. Follow the rules about leashes in your area to keep things under control. Safety first.

Get Ready for Any Weather

UK weather can be a bit crazy. Be ready with waterproof clothes and tough shoes. Check the weather report and plan your walks so everyone, including the dogs, stays comfy in any weather.

Know About Pet Health and First Aid

Pay attention to the dogs' health, not just playtime. Learn a bit about first aid for pets and always have a pet first aid kit. Tell the owners if you notice anything strange about their pets' health. 

Follow the Rules and Be a Pro

Do things the right way. Get the permits and pet sitting insurance you need. Know the rules for dog walking and follow them. This keeps your business safe and shows you're a super professional dog walker. (follow the link and to become a certified pet sitter/ dog walker.)
