Benefits of regular dog walking

Regular dog walking has great benefits for your dog – and you!

HELPS KEEP YOUR DOG HEALTHY

Exercise is good for us all. It provides many health benefits that include keeping your pet fit, agile, and happy.

AIDS THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Daily exercise can be extremely beneficial to your dog’s digestive system. They can aid in relieving constipation.

WEIGHT
CONTROL

When your dog is running and playing with others, he/she is boring off those extra doggie treats.

NO MORE HYPERACTIVITY

Walks can help to alleviate extra energy your dog may have, calming it down and reducing any hyperactivity, excitability, and even nighttime activity.

LESS DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR

Regular walks, as well as other forms of exercise, can help reduce or eliminate any of your Dog’s destructive chewing, digging, or scratching.

BUILDS CONFIDENCE

If you have a timid or fearful pet, regular walks can help to build confidence and trust exposing your pet to other humans and animals alike, and with you there for comfort.

Who would find a dog walker useful?

We have many professionals with full schedules. They can often leave early to commute into London. Dogs are very social animals and do not like being left alone for hours on end. We are called in to give them much needed attention, care and exercise during the day. So when their owner returns, they can be confident that the dog greeting them at the door is happy and content.

When you take on the responsibility of owning a dog you can find that, as you get older, your ability to get out for long walks or play can take it’s toll. At Go Walkies, we can take on that responsibility for you. Which means you keep your beloved animal and still get to enjoy the many hours of love and company they give.

Having a pet is a wonderful addition to the family. Parents can already have their hands full with caring for young children or managing the demands of school, after school activities and the day-to-day running of a busy home. We can take some of the pressure off by taking the dog to dog camp. This is where he/she can enjoy some of the Hampshire countryside in a fun, safe and secure environment. Then back in time to play with the kids.

Dogs give unlimited amounts of love, affection and company. However, if your mobility is impaired, Go Walkies can exercise your dog for you. This means you still get the quality time, while your beloved pet is well exercised and calm.

It’s just not possible to take your dog everywhere with you. We often take dogs as “boarders” while their owners are away for a while. Your dog is cared for in a family environment as if it were one of our own.
