31 in 31 #19 The dog-walkers


31 in 31 #19 Meet the dogwalkers

A few weeks ago, I was doing massage at a fair for a dog park. There were many vendors including a dog walker booth run by a nice young couple. We chatted for a few moments and I suggested “a cup of coffee” together sometime in the future to talk about ways to work together. This morning we met for the coffee in a pleasant outdoor cafĂ©. They have been walking dogs for seven years and have built a nice business with 60 dogs a day and a small staff to help them. We found a series of ways to work together including potential “in-home” care for people who can’t take care of their dogs due to some type of disability or sickness. In addition, they were happy to send out my course information to their current clients. I simply love to work by “connections.” Little by little patterns emerge on what we can do for each other. They told me that they are trainers and meet with a training group in Cambridge (big city 50 minutes from my home) and perhaps I would want to add massage to their classes or at least present it to their group. That would be my entry into Cambridge and the gigantic market for all of my dog adventures. Also I was touched by their good will and would be happy to help them grow their business if they wish.

    Dogs Allowed Where You Plan to Walk
    Carry a Pooper Scooper

    Carry water for both you and your pet. You can use your hand as a water dish for him. Some walkers suggest using collapsible cups, inflatable water dishes, and zip-closure bags, as well.
