Would you let a dog walker walk your dog?

[luvofallhorses]

I wouldn't trust a complete stranger, let alone a kid, walk my dog. My trust isn't that easily given, especially when it comes to my dogs.

Ditto. I don't think I would want someone I don't know to walk my dogs..I'd rather walk them myself to be on the safe side.

I only trust certain people walking Sassy. I would never never ever let ANYONE just off the street walk my dog. EVER! Of course, even with the people I trust I am usually there supervising or not far away.

No way. If Nebo got loose he'd just run off, huskies are normally not trustworthy off leash. I can give him the "come" command which he's good at obeying (in the fenced yard, I don't even try him off leash) but he would not listen to somebody else (he usually won't even do it for my parents). Not to mention he can be quite skittish around strangers.

Well, do you know any of your neighbors that you could start with? Maybe if you know their dogs a bit they would be more likely to trust you, and then you could get other clients. I guess I don't know how old you are, but if you are old enough to walk your dogs (who are big) then you can probably control other dogs. It doesn't hurt to try!

[Lady's Human]

Being that Lady is a bear for ME to control on a leash, I wouldn't let anyone else walk her, regardless of who it was. If it was another dog (For instance, the ST Bernard we had growing up) and I knew the teen who was offering, then yes.

I wouldn't with either of my 2. Reason being, is because if *anything* at all happened to either of them, I would feel as if it were my fault.

With that said, I also very much so enjoy walking with them....

[IRescue452]

Absolutely not. I don't hand out my animals to random people no matter how nice looking the child is. I wouldn't expect a child to go running after Autumn if she ran in the road or was taken by a stranger. I have a hard enough time letting my mom take care of her while I'm at school.

[I_luv_rusty]

I wouldn't let them, because Rusty is dog aggresive and when even my parents hold his leash he pulls hard and almost drags them. Rusty would probaly drag a kid if he can drag them. Also he jumps and barks at cars so its hard to control him. The only people that could ever walk my dog is my mom, dad, brother, me, and vets people. My friends can't walk him because it pulls hard and my parents don't them too.

Well, I wouldn't let a child walk my dogs because I'd be worried they couldn't control them, especially Adele who chases rabbits and squirrels on our walks. I also wouldn't trust a stranger either, but if I were gone a lot or didn't have time to give my dogs proper exercise I would employ a dog walking service. Luckily my mom is in town, and I trust her completely with my dogs when I go away.
