Know The Breed

Know The Breed

Each breed of dog has its own personality type. The way a dog acts and behaves has as much to do with hereditary and breeding as it does with its upbringing and the training it receives. Knowing a breed's history allows you to take advantage of the traits that are inherent in your dog as well as to understand his behavior.

Dogs are usually categorized by their functional type, based on what they were bred for. What drives your dog?

Dog Walking Services

Is your dog always confined inside a cage or your backyard?
Is your dog exhibiting aggression towards humans and other animals?
Is your dog chewing and biting everything in sight?
Is your dog constantly pulling you when you're out for a walk?

If the answer is YES to any one of the questions above, then your dog is displaying behavioral problems caused by lack of physical and mental challenge! Imagine this: you are forced to stay inside the house for a few days with absolutely nothing to do, how would you feel? Exactly! You would feel restless, anxious, and frustrated! The same goes with dogs that have been caged or confined within walls for weeks and sometimes even years. They would feel the need to entertain themselves; hence, the behavioral problems they are manifesting.

However, we do understand that you are also juggling other responsibilities besides being a pet owner. If you have no time to walk your dog, let us help you provide the daily exercise that he or she needs.
