Dog Walkers Northam

Dog Walkers Northam Devon (EX39): Whilst all of us love our pet dogs and think of them as one of the family, in terms of exercise, it often happens that we don't have enough time to give them the attention they require. When you look at our kids to look after, social obligations and demanding work lives it is easy to work out why it might be difficult to make the extra time for walking a dog, and definitely not as frequently as they'd like.

As the owner of a dog in Northam, I am sure that you are aware that exercise is very important for your much loved pet and walking your pooch regularly is essential for its fitness, happiness, wellbeing and physical health. We can all do with a little bit more exercise which is why, where possible, you should invariably make an effort to walk your own dog as often as you're able.

Participating in activities together helps you in developing a better relationship with your pet, which makes bonding a further benefit. The sad fact is however that some of us basically do not have the time to take the dog for a walk, definitely not on a daily basis, and this is one chore that may be frequently put off until the next day, or simply forgotten.

So, this is where a local Northam dog walker can give you a hand, providing regular walks for your pet and taking some of the everyday stress out of your life, so that you're able to concentrate on more pressing tasks without impinging on your dog's routine exercise. A dog walker will call at your house in Northam, pick up your furry friend and take it for a walk for perhaps an hour or more. The majority of Northam dog walking services will be delighted to do this whenever you need it, therefore no matter if you would like your dog to be walked every single day, 3 or 4 times per week, or merely when you have other commitments, they'll be there to help you.

Certain Northam dog walkers take your dog out on a solo, one to one basis, other dog walkers may take groups of dogs, so you might like to talk about your exact wants with a potential dog walker if you have any misgivings. If your pet is gregarious, friendly and gets on well with other dogs, it could be more beneficial to choose group walking, however if your pooch is a bit snappy, or is inclined to fight with other dogs, you should maybe go with one-on-one, solo walks.

Various more experienced Northam dog walkers might be able to provide additional services for pets and not solely for dogs, for example they may be prepared to supply dog or pet boarding services while you're on holiday, go to your home every day to feed your cat, dog or small pet, collect your dog and take it to the vet or give your dog some basic training if appropriate. Other dog walkers in Northam may even provide dog grooming services too. These sorts of services can prove quite helpful and provide a wide ranging pet care service that will give you peace of mind with relation to the health, wellbeing and happiness of all your pets, while still letting you socialize, look after your family and work.

It is crucial however, that your own interactions with your dog are not totally replaced by those of a dog walker. This means that you still ought to take your four-legged friend out for a walk whenever you can, to keep the bond and relationship strong. You should always be actively involved in your dog's training and exercise regime so that your cherished pet will stay healthy, content and loved throughout it's life.

What Are Dog Walkers Prices?: Much like any services, dog walking prices will vary somewhat, subject to whether it is a group or solo walk, the type of service required, how long the walk lasts for and the area you live in, but as an approximate guide you should be expecting to fork out between £9 and £14 for a 1 hour walking session with kisses and hugs free of charge. The average cost of a single dog walk was reported to be somewhere between £10 and £11, in a UK survey conducted in 2020.

Northam Dog Walkers and What to Look For: You must be vigilant concerning just who you opt for to walk your dog in Northam, since practically any Tom, Dick or Harry may advertise themselves as a dog walker and commence operating such a service, and they do not have to gain any qualifications or certifications to do dog walking.

You should also enquire about the dog sitting company's philosophy. Find out if they use positive reinforcement and discipline to train your pet.

Otherwise, your pet could be more stressed and anxious while you're away.
