For dogs
At Cats, Dogs & Peace of Mind we are adamant: each owner's dogs will be walked separately, unless specifically requested by the owner to do otherwise.
We promise that our carers will not walk more than one owner's dogs at a time, unless we are asked to give a dog more socialisation or other training.
We believe walking too many dogs at a time does not give each dog the attention and exercise they need, deserve and/or want. Meeting other dogs on a walk is part of the pleasure they get from a visit from a CDPOM carer.
Our
policy doesn't mean that we won't walk one owner’s two dogs together – they
are probably used to each other and will run together off the lead anyway.
For so many people, their dogs are their children, and they want them to have fun and plenty of exercise rather than being left cooped up in the home all day.
Anyway, dogs are very social animals and enjoy being with someone, so Cats, Dogs & Peace of Mind carers seek to give each dog as much of a treat as they can, in the absence of their loving owner. All our carers are devoted dog lovers and ensure the dogs in their charge are professionally looked after.
We DO NOT cart bunches of dogs in the back of a car or van at one time, which can mean that some animals transported in this way spend over an hour in the back of a vehicle before they reach fresh air and exercise.
We now offer basic training as well
How many times have you thought: if only my dog was well behaved and under control how much more enjoyable it would be to go out for a walk?
Well now it's possible. CDPOM has launched a basic dog-training programme with our most experienced dog-walking carers.
Using techniques based on repetition, consistency and reward, our carers can also teach you how to handle your dog and how to continue training them yourself when you are out on walks or back at home. To find out more about this service please contact us.
