Was watching a news article last night about this poor lady who lost her French Bulldog when it was attacked by two others in a van belonging to a dog walker.
Now some dog walkers are fantastic whether licensed or not but the industry does seem to have more than its fair share of people out to make a quick buck.
Some complaints I've heard are dog walkers taking far too many dogs at once and not cleaning up after them.
Dogs being walked at 8.30am an hour after the owners have gone to work only to have to be home alone from half nine till gone 6.00pm when owner comes home.
Dog walker not turning up at all.
You don't know who on earth you are letting into your home.
Dogs are walked in groups irrespective of breed needs ie Bulldogs expected to walk same pace and distance as Springer Spaniel.
I'm sure there are others and equally there are some fabulous dog walkers but is it time to raise industry standards.
