Dog Walker
- Want dog(s) to be walked alone
Details:
Hello. My name is Dawn and I’m looking for someone to walk my 2 lively, strong Lurchers for an hour a day, alone (i.e with no other dogs) Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 130 to 230.
Charlie is a foxhound/collie and is around 5 yrs old. Oscar is a greyhound/whippet and is around 1�/ 2 yrs old. They are both rescues from Dogs Trust, so are unsure of their background and social aspects, they are micro chipped and register with Pet log. All jabs etc are up to date, and they have no ongoing illnesses.
Charlie is the more dominant of the two, pulling a bit and wanting to ‘scent mark’ everywhere! But is getting better with the pulling, as long as commands and actions are followed by the walker (my previous one found he only pulled a little bit with her but was very responsive to command). He is never let off the lead unless I am there. Charlie likes his treats and responds when used with commands. He sits and gives paw.
Oscar is the more submissive one, except when there is a cat/squirrel/pigeon that needs chasing! He is still quite ‘puppy-like’ sometimes in his manner, but is learning slowly. Oscar doesn’t usually pull (unless as before there is something that needs chasing!) He does however like to rear, bark, pull, when another dog is nearby, as all he wants to do is play. So try to stay away from other dogs. He is good with people/kids but due to his background is slightly nervous and wary around ‘new’ people. Again Oscar will trust you over time, as long as routine is kept to, he may be a little reserved about taking treats but will eventually. He does sit and give paw but may not at first.
If you need to know anything more please ask. I will want them to meet you before you start and maybe take a walk with us if you have the time.
At the moment I can only offer £9 ph for both dogs due to certain personal issues, please be assured that may change after time and if we are happy with your service
Thank you
Dawn, Charlie and Oscar
