I used to see them all the time when I lived in New York. I don't know how they do it either!

For one thing, they all have to be obedient and friendly toward other dogs. I wonder how much time they actually get in the dog park?

But maybe it's just good enough to walk from place to place. Better than sitting at home.

Further to the thread a few days back about using collars or harnesses for a walk,

note that all dogs (except one) are walking behind and to the left of the walker - this is the proper positioning. All appear to be connected with leashes of fixed length. None are ahead and pulling. This suggests to me that all are well trained and know how to behave properly with other dogs around and on a leash.

When we travel, we leave our 75 pound dog with a woman who boards dogs in her home. No kennels, no runs, just in her house and in the back yard. She only accepts dogs who reliably get along with other dogs and respond IMMEDIATELY and CONSISTENTLY to verbal commands. I've seen as many as a dozen there at one time, and you'd think they all had been sedated. They need to be calm and quiet to make it work, and she's able to get them to do that.

Going there for either pick up or drop off is hilarious - it's like doing the same thing with a child at a kindergarten or preschool. She'll calmly say "Quincy, get away from the door. Mary, go back to what you were doing. Eli, stop that." Et cetera. And the dogs all listen and follow her instructions, there's nary a growl or a problem, and they walk around like sheep. The woman has a profound understanding of dogs and they sense it. It would appear this walker has a similar vibe going on.

I hope she has a lot of poop bags handly, lol.

I have never seen a dog walker. What a cool job. Lucky dogs!!

Yes I've seen a few, they usually have around 5 or 6 dogs.

I see alot of them and signs up wanting to walk dogs. But everyone be careful and make sure they know how to handle your dog, and they don't leave them in hot vehicles if they take them out in vehicle somewhere, and what other dogs are involved and see if all the dogs get along. Ask lots of questions as I have seen people not handling right or walking right into a bad area or don't go near that dog as its showing aggressiveness. Where do they walk them when its really hot out, not on roads or pavements, too hot for the feet can burn them.
Also do they bring and provide water for them too to drink?
Reason I am asking as this lady here had her own dog and five other dogs of all sizes and breeds and she left them all in her van and they cooked to death and died, it was horrible and seemed she might have done that many times, and she never once the pet owners say sorry or anything. She pretended at first someone stole all those dogs. So, be careful. kathy
