How to Prepare Your Dog for a New Walker

Introducing a new dog walker can feel like a big step — for both you and your pup. Here’s how to make it smooth and stress-free:

• Schedule a meet & greet. Let your dog sniff and get to know the walker in a calm setting.

• Use your gear. Keep the leash, harness, or collar your dog is familiar with.

• Share your dog’s quirks. Does your pup chase squirrels? Hate mailmen? Let the walker know.

• Stay calm. Your energy affects your dog. If you’re relaxed, your pup is more likely to be too.

• Stick to routine. Same time, same park — it helps build comfort.
  

The more info you share, the better the experience. Trust takes time, but your dog will thank you with every tail wag!
