6 Reasons to Start Walking Your Dog Yesterday!

6 Reasons to Start Walking Your Dog Yesterday We all want to be great dog parents. We intend to train our dogs, practice learning new tricks every day, take them out for a walk- no! two walks! a day… but when we get home tired from work, it’s much easier to let them out in the yard to do their business alone then let them back in for Netflix and pets. But dogs don’t create […]

Your Dog Would Never Bite Your Child or Your Pet Sitter, Right?

Your Dog Would Never Bite Your Child or Your Pet Sitter, Right?

Jim Crosby, a […]

Dogs are animals that work by nature; whatever their breed (or mix!), every dog was bred with a working purpose! Because the majority of dogs are naturally active, it’s important that they get the appropriate amount of exercise or be given work. Even those cute lap dogs who make great couch potato companions need to exercise if we want them to stay fit, healthy, and happy for years to come. You owe it to your […]

Six Important Ways Your Dog Benefits from Regular Walks

Happy Hump Day! Did you know that dogs can smile? We know because they love, love, love going on dog walks (or runs) with us. Exactly like Buddy, here! He’s a lucky English Lab rescued recently by his awesome mom; she loves him so much she’s hired our dog walkers to run with him not once, but four times a week! His runs keep him smiling and in great shape, too. If you want your […]

Your Back Yard Could Be Hurting Your Dog

Ready to Read a Great Reason to Hire a Dog Walker? “Why do I need to hire a dog walker? I have a back yard, he runs all the time out there!” We hear that often enough that we felt we HAVE to address that misconception. Pet parents in Miami who own nice backyards seem to feel that letting their dogs out, alone, for long stretches of time means that their dogs get great exercise. […]
