Thread: Would you let a dog walker walk your dog?

  1. #31
    I don't even trust most of my friends with my dogs, let alone a stranger or a kid....I don't think I would ever agree to it. Although, when I was a kid, me and my friend use to do that. People actually trusted us with their dogs though. I think we were 12. We always took good care of them though.

    i COULDN'T ever let anyone else walk the dogs! i'm real picky about how they are walked. the only time they are walked by someone other than me is my family walks them while i'm at a dog show or something.

    To tell you the truth, NO. Never a stranger. I walk my neighbors' dogs for them because both the parents are going through chemo. I wouldn't let anyone walk Niņo unless I absolutley needed to. I guess that is why no one ever called me to walk my dog when I had a buisiness. I would give my life for my dog, so no.
    I would suggest a dog bathing business for the summer instead for family pets who's owners don't want to bathe thier own pets but don't want to take them to a groomers.

    I think most people on here will have the same answer because all of us are very conscientous about our dogs and they are like our children, but to a lot of people their dog is still "just a pet" and they have no problem with someone in the neighborhood walking the dog.

    I wouldn't really want anyone, not even family or friends, walking my dogs without me there. I know them best and I'm a control freak when it comes to others commanding and handling my dogs . I don't want them getting any mixed messages or inconsistencies.

    I would NEVER let a stranger walk my dogs. That is only asking for trouble in my opinion. The only ones who I am comfortable with walking my dogs without me there is my cousin Rachel (rizzy) or my mom. The main reason for not wanting anyone but me walking her is because she is dog aggressive, scared of men (She will sometimes snap at them), and she loves to pull (never let her three legs fool you!).
    As for Jemi' I don't want anyone but me walking her because she is horrid on a leash, and I don't know her behavior well enough yet. I will still probably stick with my mom, Rachel, or I walking her though.

    Zoomer, I think that if you are willing to go out and make a website, and take it slow, you can be very successful! Just follow Par's instructions, and be patient!
