You Lead the Pack
Even when you hire me, Michelle Halpern, Pro Dog Walker, to walk your dog each morning or mid-day or evening - there will be plenty of other times for you to enjoy walking with your dog.
Walk your dog, don’t let your dog walk you.
When walking your dog on the leash, if your dog is in front of you he believes he is the alpha of the pack (you and the dog). Alpha goes first. Dogs that believe they are alpha over their owners can develop behavior problems.

Let Your Dog Relax

In this cartoon the dogs are leading the pack - but in real life the human should lead the pack. Also, I normally walk and interact with the dogs one at a time, not in a group. Nonetheless, I had to include this cheerful and charming dog walking picture - Michelle Halpern - Pro Dog Walker, San Jose.
A dog that is allowed to walk in front isn’t able to drain his mental energy. These dogs are not relaxed. In front the dog feels like he has a responsibility to lead the pack.
This mental tension can only grow inside a dog that is not getting the right amount of exercise or type of exercise. It is all about who is making the decisions. Pro Dog Walker Provides Excellent Service at Reasonable Rates

Your being the pack leader is also a good way to introduce one dog to another. You need to be able to correct any unwanted behavior as soon as it happens.
If you are the pack leader you will be able to correct the dog when he is not acting the way you wish him to act with other dogs.
In both my experience as Michelle Halpern, Pro Dog Walker and as a dog owner myself, I have developed the skills to correct dogs in a firm and friendly way so that they walk and interact as trained and socialized dogs.

Dogs Really Need to Walk
All dogs, regardless of their size, need to be taken on daily walks. Taking your dog for a walk keeps your dog mentally stable. Dogs are travelers by instinct.
Packs of dogs walk when they get up in the morning. A big backyard or just letting your dog play with other dogs at the dog park does not satisfy their natural instinct.

Hyperactive Dogs
Dogs that don’t get enough exercise or the proper exercise can develop hyperactivity, neurotic or obsessive compulsive behavior. These are signs of a mentally unstable dog.
An excited dog doesn’t signify a happy dog. When a dog shows an extraordinary amount of excitement when his human comes home he is showing signs of lack of exercise or leadership. For a dog excitement does not indicate happiness but mental instability. We always need to remember that dogs are canines, not humans, and we need to treat them as such.

The Pro Dog Walker Has Ranked "FIVE STARS" over the Years
FIVE STARS FROM KRISTEN W., 11/15/2016 Michelle did a great job walking my dog. I was working long days with a long commute and my dog needed to be walked during the day. I never had to worry during the day that my dog would't be cared for. Michelle was always on time and took my dog on long walks. An accident never happened on her watch! |
FIVE STARS FROM CALLIE M., 5/11/2018
Michelle is quite easily my life saver! Meatloaf, my French bulldog, and I moved to San Jose about 6 months ago and not knowing a ton of people made it hard to find someone to help out when I was working a long day, traveling, etc. |
