So I am thinking about starting my own little dog walking business. I have been thinking about this for some time, and I've done a lot of research into how to go about it. What I will need, insurance, etc. I have been taking a few dogs lately, just to see if:
1. I would enjoy it.
2. I could handle it
I absolutely enjoy dogs and walking and after having a few different dogs the last few weeks I know I can handle dogs other than my own quite well and even several at a time. I walked Max all but three days this winter so I know that I can handle walking in all kinds of weather.
I have a list of things I will need to do, including website, facebook, email. Many leashes and lots and lots of poop bags. A questionnaire for potential customers so I can get to know their dogs a little bit before I take them out, like a list of likes and dislikes, if they have fears, if they are reactive, how are they with other dogs, if they would need to be walked alone. How much exercise do they currently get. Do they have up to date vaccines or titers. Do they have any health issues I need to know about. This is just a start of course.
I am still in the planning stages but the one thing I'm having a hard time with is thinking of a good name.
If any of you creative people here (and I know there are many) have any ideas for a good name for a dog walking business I would really appreciate the help. :)

For some reason "The Wagging Tail" popped into my mind...
Donna those are great, I like the Pawsitively ones and Struts for Mutts.
Ro hahaha
Lonnie I liked the Pawsitive Steps too
I like the Waggin Tail Stephanie, There is someone in town that does pet stuff that has the Happy Tail, so I was trying to stay away from the Tail lol
Wow, you guys are creative :) Julie, what a good idea … so exciting…can't wait to hear how it goes. BG has a great point, but you can add Dependable Dog Walking Service to any of these names as a tag line for search purposes.
I think that Jeannine from the DRC is involved in a business like this. You might pick her brain as well!
Lots of good ideas for names. This is the only thing that popped into my head!
"Give Your Dog a Walk ... (Then a Bone)!"
Cheryl that's true
Lucy that is a good one too, okay now you guys have given me so many good names I still don't know what to go with!
There's a service in my area called The Leash Lady. I see her car when I'm out walking Alma and think she must be going to see a client. Her web site is theleashlady.com Good luck on your business.
For the Love of Leashes?
I like the other ideas too:)
The Leash Lady
responsible dog walking...
Here are a few ideas:
The Waggin' Train (logo has a cowgirl holding the "reins" of a team of dogs)
Furbaby Friends
The Marching Mutts
Pooch Pals Dogwalking
I love The Waggin' Train!
I don't like Waggin' Train only because the chicken jerky treats that almost killed many dogs were made by that brand! Sorry issue near and dear to my heart ;)
I was thinking of Tacky when I read that, too. :)
