Requirements
Dog Walker
- Want dog(s) to be walked alone
Details:
I have 2 boys, both neutered, one quite dominant and submissive. Charlie is 5 and the more dominant one. Oscar is 1 and a half or so, they are both rescues so their age is a guess. They are both very strong willed, but Oscar is quite easy to 'direct' so to speak, and once Charlie knows you/trusts you, is very compliant.
They know sit, wait, leave etc. They need someone quite strong in manner as they will use any weakness to their advantage! lol.
I am looking for someone to work Mon, Thurs and Fri afternoons, 1:30 to 2:30. I make them lunch which you will need to put down for them, I ask that you leave me a note on how their walk was, behaviour, etc.
I would like someone to come and meet them beforehand and maybe take a walk with us round the local park or something before starting, so they know you. I need someone very capable and can start asap.
The boys will be kept on lead at all times during their walk with you, they do have muzzles but I only really use them when they are off lead with me. I have whistles which they respond too, but again I only really use when they are off lead.
Charlie is good in cars, but Oscar is very wary so a car journey may have to wait a while until they know you.
Having knowledge of sighthounds is a great advantage but not essential-they have a high chase instinct and will want to chase small furries. There are cats in the building but the owner is very aware of their 'influence' on my two!!
If you would like any more info please ask :)
Thanks-Dawn.
