Last week, I was out walking one of my client’s dogs. When we first set out on our walk, she seemed a little worried and unsure (her tail was tucked slightly and she was stopping lots).
So we slowed down, I gave her lots of reassurance and we took the walk at her pace. After a few minutes, her tail lifted, the worried look disappeared and she was back to her usual, confident self.
When we returned home, I let her owner know and we came to the conclusion that she's had a busy few weeks and been a bit out of routine, so that was most likely why. On our next few walks, she was very confident and there were no signs that she was worried.
Moments like that, remind me why it’s so important to choose a walker that is going to take the time to get to know your dog. If you’d like someone who does just that, I’d love to meet them.
