Benefits of Mid-day Dog Walks

Puppies: (under 1 year) - Daily mid-day visits help establish and maintain a housebreaking schedule. Proper house breaking requires a consistent schedule of bathroom breaks for your puppy. Crate trained puppies need to get out every 3 - 4 hours for proper training and socialization. Your doggie walker makes daily visits while you are at work. Not only is your puppy's schedule kept consistent, but he/she will also be socialized with someone other than the owner. Note: We schedule walks for puppies within a one-hour window.

Adult Dogs: Adult dogs need regular exercise to ensure good physical and mental health. Loving owners who work long hours can depend on The Doggie Walkers to walk their dogs during the week when their time is the most limited. Crated dogs are in particular need of a mid-day break. Over-crating and under exercising can result in a hyperactive, under-socialized dog who is harder to live with and train. The Doggie Walkers often works with clients in weaning dogs from their crate. Note: We schedule walks for healthy adult dogs within a 2 hour window.

Elderly Dogs: The elderly dog often needs more frequent bathroom breaks than he/she needed as a younger dog. When older dogs have accidents they often become stressed because they have been trained to go outside but just can not "hold it" anymore. In addition, a frustrated owner may end up confining the older dog. The Doggie Walkers can make daily, afternoon visits to give the elderly dog his/her much needed bathroom break. This keeps both dog and owner happy! Note: We schedule walks for elderly dogs within 1 - 2 hour window, depending on your dog's needs.
