Dog Walking!
You might not have a second thought to seeing someone walking a dog. But there are several reasons to walk a dog and types of dog walking:
(1) Training! A big part of training a dog consists of bonding and affirmation of "the pack" while walking. Part of the pack so to speak will consist of a leader. Ever see the "out of control" dog walking his handler and wonder "who is walking who"? This is not the type of walking that would be considered training - where the dog is pulling ahead. A dog(s) should always walk on a leash either next to or behind their handler. Think of it this way: It is impossible for a dog to see what you are doing if they are in front of you!
(2) Sometimes the person walking the dog(s) is a dog walking professional. This is a service that hires a person to handle and walking dog(s). Also this person could be in charge of training and/or exercising the dogs as well as allowing them to do their "business" while on walks.
(3) For obvious reasons... To go potty! Hopefully you see this person carrying poo bags and picking up the poo as well. The Dog Bowl has a few stylish options as well as biodegradable refills. There is nothing worse than leaving dog poo or walking your dog through someone else's! Yuck!
