Re: Available for dog walking

Are you on facebook Olivia?Advertising on facebook may help -Maybe start a business page for yourself and offer your services on some groups you're a member of or can become a member of? Or put 'DogWalker' as your middle name lol.

Studio25 makes some very good points about dog ownership.

I know my dog's previous owners let the local children walk her-that makes me think about what sort of people they were. She was very unruly when I first got her as they had given her zero training, and she's very strong. I'd have worried about her seeing a cat/squirrel/other distraction and bolting across a busy road and taking the child flying with her, or similar scenarios. There are dog owners out there who aren't responsible at all.
I personally would never want to let anybody walk her even now, after her behaviour has been addressed. I didn't let my own Mother walk her when she asked to, she's very headstrong and requires a certain way of handling-and hasn't yet learned to respond well to recall unless It's done in a specific way-but her previous owners didn't give this a thought process it seems.
