People as we are, having a dog is one thing that most of us do have and being a responsible owner covers a lot of things, including walking them on a  daily basis and in case you are just too busy to walk them, then going for a dog walking service will be your best move and being too picky about it is just normal. It is just important that you will find the right dog walking service that will walk your dog while you are away since dogs are considered man's best friend after all. If you are looking to find the right dog walking service, then knowing certain things that should be considered will surely help you land on the right one.

 

One important factor that owners should look out for and make sure is that your dog should not be walked with other dogs that do not belong to you since it is very important for Dog Walking services not to walk unfamiliar dogs altogether as this may lead to havoc. It is very important that safety is what the companies should look into at any angle so there should not be more than two medium dogs walked together and not more than three small dogs walked together at the same time.

 

The dog walking service or company should give priority to proper handling techniques on leash to ensure that the dogs will be handled safely. Before having the dog for a walk, the dog walker should first have the dog release its bowels at the yard before going for a walk on a short, loose leash where they should be staying at the side of the handler. There should also be treats ready to ensure that the handler will be able to reinforce positive rewards as well as the handler should have a doggie water bottle to be able to fight those scorching days.

 

Yet another important thing that responsible dog owners should look for is to ensure that the dog walker is a certified pet care and that they should hold such certifications from national pet organizations so that you can confirm and assure that your dog will be handled properly. If you are unsure if they really are certified, then asking them to show such certifications will be a good idea, just to assure and confirm that your dog will be in good hands.

 

Dog walkers should also be certified in First Aid and CPR just to be sure that in case of emergencies, your dog will be handled safely and correctly right away. This assures that the dog walker will know right away what to do during such happenings.

 

Contracts are also important things that should be checked and signed together with the dog walker so as not only to protect the owner but to also protect the dog's safety.
