FROM THE BACK COVER: WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Known to cause side effects such as happiness and fulfillment According to many experts, dog walking is currently the fastest growing area in the professional pet care industry and it shows no sign of slowing down. More American households have dogs than ever before! Whether you have been dreaming of escaping the 9-5 grind, or just love dogs and want to work with them, this book will help you take this growing industry by the leash and profit from it. This easy to follow step-by-step guide to starting your own dog walking business teaches: * How to assess the number of clients you ll need to meet your financial goals using case studies and formulas that work (page 12) * What services will creatively sell your business and lead the competition (page 16) * How to create a winning web presence that promotes customer confidence and sells your business 24 hours a day * How to create a professional welcome packet step-by-step (page 31) * How on-the-fly photo updates can enrich your service by promoting human interaction and involvement, leading to more referrals and additional income from advertising (page 124) * Professional advertising strategies revealed in detail and highlighted with examples that will quickly turn your business idea into profit-making reality (page 53) FROM THE AUTHOR: A dog walker's job, focus, and service is very different than a pet sitter's, and the hours are much more conducive to stay-at-home parents, students, and retired persons. The bulk of a dog walker's work happens between the hours of 10am and 3pm. However with puppy-care, and a 3x per day schedule, you'll be starting a bit earlier and finishing a bit later. Dog walking is also a great way to supplement a dog training business! Dog walking is a Zen-like business model, provides a steady predictable income, and your customer base is much, much larger. Dog walking is for the most part recession proof. American households with dogs have increased exponentially. According to the APPA pet-related spending in 2008 will likely exceed $10.5 billion. We aren't going to get rid of our pets, and we aren't going to stop working and commuting. Therefore dog walkers will still be needed, even in a down economy.

Becoming a professional dog walker and dog sitter is not limited to being hired by a dog kennel business and eagerly waiting to be assigned ample responsibilities appertaining to taking care of dogs. In other words, becoming a professional dog walker and dog sitter is as simple as creating an account on Rover and paying $25 for Rover to conduct a background check on you. Prospective dog walkers and dog will need to do more than just "complete their Rover profile and pass the enhanced background check" ("Rover Now Walking," n.d.) to offer their services on Rover. Prospective dog walkers and dog sitters who are keen on offering their services on Rover will also need to "pass the Rover walker certification, be at least 18 years old, be available to work on weekdays, and have the latest Rover application" ("Rover Now Walking," n.d.) installed on their smart phone. Once you have been deemed a trustworthy dog walker and dog sitter by Rover, "you will be provided with some resources and training materials to set you up for success. The service is only as good as its users, so they go above and beyond to make sure you have the tools and skills needed to be a high-quality dog sitter. From videos to tutorials, you can get the questions you have answered. Rover can even put you in touch with a city manager in your area who is an experienced dog sitter to answer any questions you have along the way" (Cornelius, 2019). Rover dog walkers and dog sitters are able to offer dog walking services, dog boarding services, dog house sitting services, and dog daycare ("Rover Now Walking," n.d.) services on Rover's mobile application for clients to procure. Rover dog walkers and dog sitters will be able to receive only 80% of their earnings from their clients on Rover while the remaining 20% of the earnings will be retained by Rover. This 80/20 revenue split obstinately "helps Rover cover benefits including processing payments and ongoing promotion of Rover dog walkers and sitters, as well as 24/7 support, important site maintenance, and product improvements" ("Rover Now Walking," n.d.). Rover provides dog walkers and dog sitters access to a clientele who are in dire need of dog walkers and dog sitters. On the Rover mobile application and website, dog walkers and dog sitters can also offer their services for other small animals, such as cats and guinea pigs. Although it is eminently expensive to relinquish 20% of your earnings from your clients to Rover, it can warrant the cost if you lack a marketing budget and are in dire need of being able to immediately find clients to provide dog walking and dog sitting services for in your area.In order to obtain the "Rover Now certification, you will need to you complete your profile on Rover, take quizzes, and pass an in-person harness check. Once you are certified, you will be able to offer Rover Now walks whenever you like" ("Rover Now Walking," n.d.) via the Rover mobile application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Heartbeat at Your Feet is the first book to reveal how you can fully understand and communicate with dogs, and how you can easily eliminate any behavior problems, based on new information about animal behavior. Each chapter explores the mind of the dog, its instincts, body language, how and why dogs respond to the people and animals around them, and the profound insights you can gain into what your dog is thinking and feeling through the simple process of observation. Enlightening (and entertaining!), the book guides readers to look at life from your dog’s point of view, to understand what your dog is trying to tell you and why, and to notice what makes your pooch listen to you. Including real-life examples throughout the work, The Heartbeat at Your Feet explains how positive methods of behavior modification work more effectively (and permanently) than old dominance methods, which have now proven to be ineffective. As a canine psychologist and professional consultant to dog owners, Lisa Tenzin-Dolma explains compassionate ways of working with dogs and offers readers a guide to improving pet behavior and the relationship between you and your beloved pooch.
