- Knowing a dog's temperament is crucial for a safe and enjoyable walk. Is the dog friendly and sociable with other dogs and people, or does it have a tendency to be aggressive or anxious? This can help me plan a suitable route and avoid any potential triggers for the dog. - It's important to know if a dog has any health conditions that may affect their ability to walk or require medication during the walk. For example, if a dog has arthritis, I may need to adjust the pace and distance of the walk accordingly. - Knowing if a dog is trained and how it responds to commands such as "sit" or "stay" is helpful. This information can help me manage the dog during the walk and prevent any unwanted behaviour - It's important to know if the dog has any specific walking equipment, such as a harness or a leash, and if the owner has any specific preferences for their use. This can help me ensure that the dog is comfortable and safe during the walk.

I understand the importance of providing dogs with stimulating and enjoyable activities during their walks. Some fun activities that I may do with the dogs I watch include playing fetch, practicing obedience commands, or simply allowing them to explore and sniff their surroundings. In terms of special places to go on walks, I like to vary the locations to keep things interesting for the dogs. However, I always ensure that the places we go are safe and appropriate for the dogs I am watching. If the dogs I am watching have any specific preferences or needs, I will accommodate them.
