| Half Hour Walk Why hire a dog walker? Dogs need to go on walks to be exercised physically, and socially. Dogs have been bred for centuries to be on the go, no matter what time of day. For example, a golden retriever needs to walk 3 miles a day! When dogs aren't exercised enough, they can become obese and unhealthy, just like humans. Since exercising is what most dogs do for fun, be it playing fetch or going for a jog, they also get bored and find other things to do, like tear up your couch! Hiring a dog walker will keep your friend healthy and happy, saving your time, money, and household belongings. Dogs need to go on walks to remain socialized. Can you imagine how scary the world would be if you had been inside for months on end? Just like people, dogs can forget how to act around others when they live in an isolated setting. Having a trained professional oversee the regular socialization of your dog during walks will ensure your dog knows how to act in a variety of situations. Why only half an hour?
