Are you one/ do you use one?
I've been working at a boarding kennels for 2 years, mixture of part time & full time depending on time of year, am am starting to think of setting up a small dog walking business. Anyone got any tips/ advice on getting started etc?
I've had experience with lots of different dogs thanks to working at the kennels, had everything from chiuaua's to great danes, mixture of well behaved ones & some not so well behaved
I drive so can get around easily without having to rely on other people

Thanks in advance!!

I use a dog walker when i go on holiday, my mum lives at ours when we are away but can't cope with walking our Springer.

Our dog walker has mainly the same dogs all the time, she drives around in a big van picking them all up and then takes approx 10 dogs for a walk together. Off lead most of the time. How she copes i have no idea, but they all behave beautifully for her!

If it is wet or muddy she cleans them up before leaving them back at home.

She is fantastic. I would say she is one of those people who have a "magic touch" with dogs.
