A Constipated Jack Russell

I think the "real" dog walkers need to organize themselves as a group so they can monitor each others behavior. It would allow them to establish some standards and guidelines. They could form a dog walker's association. Right now you are better to pay a neighbour's child or a retired friend to do the dog walking. That way you at least know them and hopefully can trust them.

Right now a lot of people have two part time jobs. One full time job would be better, but that is not always possible any more. We can't get standards for daycares, I doubt we will get standards for dog care.

Dogs have done well to adapt to our crazy city life styles. I certainly don't want to see people give up on having dogs. They make life in the city much warmer and friendlier.
