Moet u een hondenuitlater overwegen?
Exercise, play, mental stimulation and socialisation are important for your dog’s wellbeing, health and development. These activities also minimizes boredom, destructive and unwanted behavior such as chewing furniture and barking when alone.
However, our hectic lives make it hard to juggle the demands of work, running a household, raising a family and other time pressures we experience. Allocating time for your dog’s daily exercise can be impossible. And sometimes, life throws you a curve ball in the form of illness, temporary incapacity and immobility or busy periods and you may need a short-term solution.
Dogs are social animals and do not like to be left alone for hours. This is unavoidable as we need to make a living after all. If you live in an apartment, it’s unlikely your dog is exercising at all during the day. Even if you have a backyard, your dog may be exercising but may not be getting the level of socialisation and interaction required.
Als u het grootste deel van de dag afwezig bent, weet dat uw hond niet de oefening of stimulatie krijgt die hij nodig heeft, of buren klagen over blaffen en zeuren, naar huis komen om wc-rommel of op meubels te kauwen, of veranderingen in het gedrag van uw hond opmerken hond, dan is het misschien tijd om te overwegen een hondenuitloper in te huren.
Choosing a dog walker
Hiring a service is never cheap and you should take it seriously as you will be leaving the care of your beloved pet in the hands of another and will also need to trust them in your home.
You should ask potential walkers a range of questions and consider the needs of both you and your dog. Your dog’s age, breed, temperament, health, energy level and exercise preference will influence who is the right dog walker for you.
The best place to start is to seek advice from your vet, local pet store, trainers or friends and family who can recommend a dog walker.

- Request the walker provide referrals and client testimonials.
- Hoelang werken ze al en zijn er problemen, verwondingen of hondendoden, klachten van klanten, rechtszaken?
- Do they have insurance and what type do they have, when does it expire and what does it cover?
- Vraag naar hun kwalificaties, certificering, ervaring of of ze lid zijn van relevante dierenverenigingen. Deze informatie geeft hun toewijding, professionaliteit en de waarschijnlijkheid aan dat ze mogelijke gedrags- of gezondheidsproblemen kunnen beheren. Een goede hondenuitloper moet goed geïnformeerd zijn over hondentraining, gedrag en zelfs eerste hulp.
- Schets wat u verwacht en eventuele speciale behoeften, gezondheids- of veiligheidsproblemen voor uw hond.
- Hoe u de bewegingsziekte van uw hond kunt helpen
- Some dogs love to play with others and will happily run around once at the dog park. Others prefer to be walked. Find out what the walker has planned and whether it suits your dog and what you want.
- With large companies you may not get the same walker each time. Find out how they arrange their bookings and exactly who will be walking your dog. If you have hired an individual or are using a small company, ask who the back-up person will be in case your walker becomes ill or is unavailable. You should also check the any additional walker's or back-up walker's experience and references.
- How many dogs do they take at a time and how do they group the dogs - by age, size, breed? How well does your dog socialise with others? Will this be problematic or beneficial for your dog?
- Will your dog be in a car? For how long? How are dogs restrained in the car?
- What training techniques do they use? Will they adhere to your training preference and commands? How do they handle aggresssion or other behavioural issues.
- Where will they walk your dog and which park will they go to? How long will they be exercised for, not total time in the walker’s care but actual time exercising? Are they aware of local council rules about leash compliance and cleaning up?
- What will happen if it rains or very hot or cold days?
- Zorg voor traktaties, lood, halsband en back-up lood, halsband en ID-tag voor uw hond. Het identificatielabel van uw hond moet uw huidige contactgegevens bevatten.
