Why Hire a Professional Dog Walker in Menomonee Falls Anyway?

Let's say you're on the fence about hiring a professional dog walker. Should you actually make the decision to hire one? Or, should you just do all the care for your dog yourself?

If you're not sure for any reason, then take a look at the these benefits your dog gets:

1. Improved Health

To be healthy and feel happy, your dog needs consistent exercise. The amount of exercise varies by breed.

But, generally, this should be a 30-minute walk twice per day. A little more is better. And at the same time, you can overdo it too. Make sure you thoroughly research your breed's exercise needs so you give them all the exercise they need to be healthy.

Exercise helps your dog avoid many preventable health problems, such as diabetes, bone diseases, lung disease, heart disease, joint pain, and cancer.

2. Mental Stimulation and General Socialization

Walking gets your dog's senses going. They need that to live a healthy doggy life.

Puppies especially need to socialize at their young age. This lays the foundation for how they'll act with other dogs and people for the rest of their life.

It may be cliche to say, but it's definitely true: tired dogs are good dogs.

The real challenge lies in getting your dog tired, doesn't it?

3. Better Behavior

The age-old cliche "tired dogs are good dogs" holds true in any circumstance.

The real problem, however, lies in getting your dog to the point of tired, right?

Your dog really shouldn't be in a crate or alone for more than 8 hours in any given day.

Try to make that happen on your own. It's really best for your dog to build a strong bond with you and your family.

If you can't take on the work yourself, however, then get some help from a professional dog walking service.

4. Peace of Mind

If you're like nearly every other dog owner, you feel guilt and anxiety when you can't be with your dog.

When life's demands become overwhelming, and that limits the time you can be with your dog, that's where a pro dog walker begins to make sense.

As a result, you don't have to worry as much about your dog's physical and mental health.

5. More Time

Pretty much every second of your life is accounted for. And, you probably even have more than you can get done in any one day on your plate.

And if that's not already the case, you could probably make that the case any day you wanted if you felt so inclined.

If you have a high-energy dog breed that requires consistently long walks, it can be difficult to fit all of your dog's needs in your schedule.

Hiring a dog walking service can help you free up some time so you can keep the rest of life going forward.

Questions to Ask Companies You Find After Searching "Dog Walker Near Me."

You want the peace of mind that comes with hiring someone you explicitly trust with your dog.

Make sure you ask these questions as you talk to various dog walking services in the Menomonee Falls area:

1. Are you bonded and insured?

Every dog walking service should have these basics. A bond simply protects you from shoddy work or theft by the business. Insurance protects you in the event that the dog walking service causes you a financial loss due to their negligent behavior.

Basically, there's absolutely no reason your dog walking service isn't bonded or insured.

2. Do you run background checks on all your dog walkers?

You want to know that whoever enters your home, you can trust them. Every dog walking service should do this.

Not running background checks could put the safety of your dog at risk. And it likely puts your material possessions at risk.

3. What do you do if the dog becomes unruly?

Oh, those lovable, endearing dogs. They can be quite the hellions sometimes, can't they?

When they do act up, it's important to know how the dog walking service handles that. Usually, it should first be ignoring or redirecting the unwanted behavior, followed up by praise and a treat once they desirable behavior is displayed.

Scolding or punishing the dog leads to anxiety, fear, and lost trust. Those emotions harm the dog's behavior in the long run.

In the heat of the moment, scolding and punishing can actually lead to escalation of the dog's behavior. This could lead to a bite or an all-out fight.

Practicing calm, assertive behavior along with positive reinforcement (verbal praise and/or a treat) gets you more of the behavior you want to see in your dog.

4. What do you do if an emergency happens?

They rarely happen. But if one does, you want to know how your dog walking service will respond.

Usually, this involves going to the vet or to the emergency vet clinic.

5. How do you communicate?

Search "dog walking companies near me," and as you evaluate the field, you should find all the services know how to give you what you want.

And you want peace of mind, right?

At minimum, you should hand over emergency contact information. But, your dog walking company should offer even more than that. They should send you pics and texts of what happened during their time with your dog.

6. Do you provide dog walking services in all kinds of weather?

Your dog always needs to go potty and stretch their legs, regardless of what's going on outside. they don't magically hold it when the weather gets inconvenient.

At the same time, you don't want your dog outside in a torrential downpour. So, see what the dog walking service will do in the case of inclement weather.

Some won't provide any service at all. Others will do everything just like they always did without even breaking a sweat.

7. Where will you walk my dog?

Your dog nees more exercise at some times than others. In some cases, this can mean simply walking them around in your neighborhood. In others, your dog feels overly stressed and needs more time just to roam around and be in nature and enjoy the sights and smells (called a "decompression walk").

Both types of walks have their time and place. Just make sure that you get on the same page with your dog walker on this.

8. How does transportation of my dog work?

Your dog should be transported in a way that makes you and them feel safe and comfortable.

Will a crate be used? Will they be loose? Will they be transported with other dogs? Will your dog meet other people as they're transported?

9. What kinds of leashes do you use?

Here, just make sure that your dog walking service uses a leash that you approve of.

For example, you should make sure they don't use retractable leashes. Not only do they frequently break, but they also encourage pulling. And they also put the dog in control of your walk (which you don't want).

And that's just the beginning of the problems with retractable dog leashes.

The best leashes are 6 foot long nylon cords or ropes.

10. Will you unleash my dog?

How comfortable are you with your dog being off a leash? It can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the dog.

Make sure you get this straightened out with your dog walker.

If you're not sure what to do, have your dog kept on a leash. You're better off being safe than sorry.

11. Will my dog see the same person every time?

If you're like most dog owners, you want your dog to have the same dog walker or dog sitter every time. This builds familiarity, trust, and comfort with your dog. And that's exactly what you want.

Most professional dog walking services will agree on this with you. Just make sure that it happens in actual practice once they start walking your dog.

12. How many dogs do you walk at once?

Communicate up front whether you want your dog walked alone or in a pack. This really depends on your dog's personality and their individual needs.

You know your dog best. Do what you think works best for your dog.

13. How do you handle unsocialized dogs?

The right answer here is not to protect your dog from all other dogs.

Rather your dog needs to be socialized with other dogs. They need that experience so they know how to conduct themselves. This should be with other well-behaved dogs, however.

Prior to that time, the dog walker should spend some time getting to know and build trust with your dog. When they have that comfort build up, that makes it easier for your dog to feel comfortable interacting with other dogs.

14. What accommodations do you make for dogs with special needs?

Does your dog take unique medications? If so, make sure to confirm with your dog walking service that they have done this before.

The last thing you need is for something to go wrong with your dog's medication.

15. What other services do you offer?

Most professional dog walking services do much more than simply walk your dog. And you may want to know that if you aren't able to give your dog the care it needs, that someone else can.

The additional services dog walkers offer include dog sitting, dog taxiing, dog adventures, and much more. They may even help you take care of your other pets.

16. Are you allowed to come along on the walk?

Before committing to a contract, it's not a bad idea to do a test walk with your dog walker. That way, you know what you're getting into.

We know. It's more time you have to spend. But it's only 30 minutes. And you'll have a lot more peace of mind knowing that your dog is in capable hands.
