answered a question | Do you have tips for walking dogs? This is certainly up my alley, I usually walk on average 15 dogs at once each morning. Usually only about one of ten will poop on the walk. Here is my advice for walking multiple dogs:

commented answer | How to prevent 'marking.' I saw that on Lucky Dog too, it's the first time I saw the method used. Brandon McMillion is an excellent trainer, he's been around animals his whole life. |
answered a question | Do you let your dog sleep in your bed? Heck yes, all dogs are welcome. However space is limited and restricted to a first come first lie basis! |
answered a question | How much should I charge for dog walking? I think the answer above is really good. I would also consider the distance you have to travel to get to the dogs you are going to walk. Personally, I only do pet sitting and dog walking I walk my next door neighbor's dog M=F along with all the dogs here. Since the only real work I do is walk next door to get him it's really no extra work for me. I am good friends with my neighbors and I found their (rescue) dog for them so I only charge them $10 a week. I walk a couple's three dogs M=F and it takes me about eight minutes to drive to their place. Following their instruction I walk two of the dogs and then trade out one of the dogs for the second walk. Two of the dogs have fear issues so I have to be very careful when we encounter other dogs. I am paid $20 a visit and I love the dogs so it's great. |

answered a question | While walking your dog, how do you keep him from getting at trash on the ground? Another option is to by a Rubbermaid Slim Jim commercial grade garbage can with a lid. They are the height of a kitchen counter and hard to knock over if they are next to one. I've used one for several years and it hasn't been knocked over yet. |
