Guest blog: What it's really like to be a professional dog walker
 |
Guest blog by Louise St-Pierre. So excited to welcome her to the Paws For Reaction extended family!

I have learned a lot from my experiences with dogs. I currently own two beautiful dogs and have been a dog owner for 25 years. I truly love dogs and being outside all day, in all types of weather. After working in the fitness and service industry for 20 years I wanted a change; a job that would incorporate the many things I love. Fast forward to now. I have been a professional dog walker for 11 years. I never imagined that I could make a living doing something I loved so much. What I love most about being a dog walker is that I work for myself and my clients. I'm my own boss, which is amazing.
National Walk Your Dog Week: October 1 -7
National Walk Your Dog Week kicked off yesterday and this fun awareness week is a great excuse to get in a few extra walks with your furry family member. Enjoy this week of being active and bonding with your pooch!
Get a dog and get healthy- studies show that petting
a dog can lower the owner’s blood pressure. Not to mention walking the dog is a
great way to stay in shape! Your dog can be your ticket to a healthy lifestyle.

Only domestic cats hold their tails straight up
while walking. In the wild cats hold their tails horizontally or tucked between
their legs while taking a stroll.

Dogs dislike rainy days because their ears are
sensitive. The sound of rain is amplified and it can hurt a dogs vulnerable
ears.

Happy Paws: Winter paw care is a concern for dedicated dog parents

Winter
paw care is important for our canine family members. The hard snow and sharp
spikes of ice make outdoor travel like an icy and deadly obstacle course for
dogs. Cuts and soars can develop on the pads and their poor little
"feet" can be in pain- and you may not even know it.
There are
some products out there- along with some tips and tricks- to help you take
extra special care of your dog’s paws in this cold weather.
