Hey there, dog-walking enthusiast!

Thinking about going pro? We can't blame you—dogs are great, and getting to take them on walks is even better. Plus, you get paid for it! What's better than that?

We've been in the dog-walking game for a while now (we're not about to reveal our age), and we've seen good walkers and bad walkers. And because we love you (and dogs), we want to help you be the best version of yourself. So we put together this list of our tips for being a successful dog walker.

Get a dog of your own! If you haven't already, get a dog of your own. This will give you plenty of practice with walking on a leash so when you start walking other dogs, you'll already have that part down pat.

Make phone calls. You need to build up a clientele—that's where the money comes in! You can do this by making phone calls or sending emails or by sending out postcards. Look up veterinary offices and groomers in your area and send them postcards about your services. Make sure your postcard includes details like how often you're available and how much it costs per walk/per

Above all, enjoy what you do. Most walkers say they love their jobs, so it seems that being a dog walker is a win-win situation. Even if your business doesn't grow right away, and you aren't making thousands of dollars right off the bat, be happy with whatever success you're achieving and enjoy spending time with dogs.
