This is an appalling story. This is exactly why we need to press hard for regulation in all the professional dog businesses - trainers, groomers, pet sitters -... and walkers. None of us are regulated or held to any standards other than our own. I can't imagine how his clients are feeling reading this story and finding out what really goes on. I find the vet comments particularly disturbing - this is not at all acceptable treatment for any dog or any animal. This is not the dark ages - we know better. Please share and help raise public awareness. Vet your dog animal professionals carefully - check and double-check. Make sure people are experienced and educated and have a lot of great recommendations from clients to share with you and that there is transparency in what they do. I always welcome people to come and watch me train, ask me questions, find out what I know, what I do and how I do it. EDITED TO SAY: As far as I can find out this walker is still allowed to run his business and that's just WRONG! See more

This came up in my memories today - everyone deserves enrichment !

Interesting and Important reminders for puppies. This is an X-ray of a 2 week old puppy. Look at how far the bones have to grow before they become a prope...r bone joint! This is why you should never let puppies jump, walk up/down stairs, over exercise or over train. Doing to much impact activity at a young age will cause serious issues later in life, or even at a young age as hip dysplasia and other orthopaedic conditions are rising in puppies! Remember the puppy rule for every month increase activity by 5 minutes! For example an 8 week old puppy only needs 10 minuets physical activity a day - a 6 month old only needs 30 minuets a day of physical activity!! *physical activity includes - going for a walk, training, playing fetch, running, playing with other dogs etc. Enjoy your new puppy but remember you wouldn't make a 6 month old baby run a mile a day so don't make your puppy either!

Such a good reminder for us all!!
