Answer 1

Hiya

I want to do this as well and I'm not very sure what to do.

But my ideas are :

Breeds : Any dog apart from Rottweilers (unless you have a trial walk in your/owners garden), pit bulls ( same as Rottweilers) basically any dog that has a reputation for being very strong or vicious. But always have a trial walk wherever you feel comfortable.

The Price : Well what I thought I would do is on your flyer have a 50% off first walk or give them the first walk free or something along those lines. But the longer the walk the higher the price so :

30 mins : about £3 or $3.50

1 hour : about £4 or $4.50

Basically about £1 or $1 more for every half hour.

Flyer : Colourful, include the bits about the breeds and your pricing and include some kind of voucher that can be used with your dog walking company/

Hope this helps !x

I looked into this some years back.  You need to get some insurance and a disclaimer if anything goes wrong!  If you surf the web you'll find all the paperwork you need.

Good luck.
