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. :)

Here are a couple of suggestions:

- Dog's Daily Constitutional

- Prancing Paws

Good luck to you!

Canine Express??

I think that once you have a catchy name, you should have it on your vehicle so that people will see you with the dogs and know that it's a business and maybe come over to inquire or at least go to your website.  Your clientele will be locals so the more they see the name around town, and if it's catchy enough they will remember it if someone they know talks about needing a walker. Good luck - it sounds like it's going to be a win-win business - you win and the dogs win!

I am going to keep thinking of names - I thought it would be way easier!  If it was just doodles you were walking I think "Walk a Doodle" would be fun ;)

The Leash Lady is neat

Love of leashes is good too

Marching Mutts lol I like that

Waggin Train is a good one too!

Jennifer Prancing Paws is good

Wendy I like Walk a Doodle but I have to take more than doodles lol

I was actually thinking of doing flyers to start, along the path that I walk so that the first dogs I got (hopefully I would get some lol) would be along the path that I already walk which would make it easier, plus it is such a beautiful path to walk dogs on. 

Oh Allyson I did not know that, I am going to stay away from the wagon train then, it's so sad that that happened to so many dogs. :(

Donna where do you live? :(
