I have had dogs my entire life and believe in giving them all my love and lots of exercise! I see dog walkers who are texting or pulling the dog along while they walk them. It may sound silly, but I believe in a more interactive walk. If the pup wants to sniff, let em sniff a little! Nyc must be full of fun smells for dogs. When staying with your dog, or having them stay with me, I will be sure to be around the house with them. If I do leave them, I like to wait until after a long walk so they are nice and tired and sleep while im out. To me, dogs are a part of the family and should be treated as such.
