Dog Walking
A study by Michigan State University showed that people who walk their dogs are 34% more likely to meet expected levels of exercise, with a recommended level of 150 minutes of activity such as dog walking per week.
Besides, research conducted by the University of Western Australia has suggested that a higher rate of dog walking within a community tends to cause more interpersonal relationships within that community. The research suggested that people in the community would acknowledge and greet other people in the street, and exchange favors with neighbors, which could possibly encourage more exercise in the community, by giving pets and owners a chance at a healthier lifestyle.

A healthy mind in a healthy body.
Our dogs, as well as ourselves, require periodic exercise. If you must walk your dog, you could combine the physiological purpose of your tour with some mutually enjoyable exercise. Bring some toy such as a frisbee or a ball to play with your dog. Exercising will better your health, will reduce your levels of stress and will create a superb sense of gratitude from your dog for the good moment spent with you.
What are Dog Walkers?
Professional dog walkers, both individuals and businesses, are paid by dog owners to walk their dogs for them. Some dog walkers will take many dogs for a walk at once, while others will only take a single dog. The length of a walk might vary by breed or owners request ranging from short relief walks to longer walks with a specific amount of time set by the owner.
In some jurisdictions, dog walking businesses must be licensed and have employees trained in animal first aid. Professional dog walking services can be obtained locally or through online referral services. Obtaining a position as a professional dog walker has become more difficult, with applicants having to pass rigorous exams and go through extensive training.
If we are going to leave the walkers getting into the intimacy of our homes, we should vet them properly and be sure that their background has been checked.
In the United States, the first professional dog walker is believed to have been Jim Buck, who in 1960 launched his dog walking service in New York City. Most of the firms and individuals in the dog walking activity also offer pet sitting in the dog’s homes.
