Dog Walking Services
All dogs need to walk. From the smallest teacup Chihuahua to the biggest English Mastiff, a dog was born to move. Like people, dogs need at least 30 minutes of exercise per day to keep their hearts and joints healthy. A quick run outside for a potty break isn’t enough, but not everyone has the time to spare each and every day.
That’s where we come in. Dog walkers can get your dog out of the house and into the fresh air and sunshine even when you can’t. Let us be part of your dog’s care team.
We take the time to get to know your pet so that we understand what your dog likes. Some dogs prefer a long run with a single person, and others like to get out in groups. Whatever your pet prefers, we’ll ensure our professional walkers give them the workout they want and the devoted attention they deserve. Our goal is to keep your dog happy, socialized, and in tip-top shape.
Benefits of Dog Walking
Most dogs love to go for walks, as is evident from their joyful dances and barks when the leash comes off the hook. But aside from bringing dogs joy, walks bring them health, as well. The positive effects of regular exercise include the following:
- Health benefits. Dogs evolved from wolves. Their bodies still crave running and jumping like their wild ancestors. Being sedentary causes the same health problems for dogs as it does for humans. Dogs get heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and other ailments. A regular morning and evening walk can keep them slim, increase heart health, and stave off diseases.
- Psychological benefits. Dogs are curious creatures. They like being around new things and taking in different sights and smells. We’ve all seen how our dogs love to sniff corners and poke around bushes. We can get them out of the house and let them explore even when your schedule keeps you from leading the way.
- Behavioral benefits. Dogs are accustomed to being with a pack. When they’re left alone, they get bored and lonely. Bored, lonely dogs can be destructive dogs. Regular walks can prevent damage to your furniture and other possessions.
- Owner benefits. As much as everyone would like to be home around their dogs all day, that’s not always realistic. Whether it’s a typical workday or an out-of-town trip, you can’t always be there for your pet. You want to be able to go about your day knowing your dog’s needs are being met. Our dog lovers can give your furry friend a good workout so they’re blissfully tuckered when you get home. You’ll feel happy knowing that your dog is content and cared for.
Some of Our Special Services
Walk! ATX believes all dogs are good dogs! But we know that each dog is different. We can accommodate a wide range of canine needs to ensure your dog gets its own specially-tailored workout. Some of the important characteristics of our services are:
- Your dog will be walked by the same person every time. This lets your dog and the walker develop a rapport and gives your dog one more person in their life to trust and depend on.
- Elderly or disabled pets are no problem. If your senior dog needs extra time for a walk, our walkers are glad to amble alongside. Dogs with special needs will be given extra care and gentle attention.
- Puppies and enthusiastic dogs are welcomed. If young dogs or hyperactive canines don’t play well with others, we’ll walk them solo until they are ready for group walks. The only dogs we can’t take are human-aggressive animals.
