You love your dog. You work hard. You want the best for them—but lately, you’ve been wondering: Is my dog getting enough activity during the day?
Here’s the truth: a quick potty break before work or a 15-minute stroll in the morning may not be enough to support your dog’s physical health, emotional well-being, and behavioral needs—especially if you’re juggling a demanding schedule.
At Praline’s Backyard Dog Services, we get it. We’re here to help Atlanta’s busy pet parents give their dogs the enrichment, structure, and care they need—without the stress, guilt, or overwhelm.
So, how do you know it’s time to bring in a professional dog walker? Here are five clear signs:
1. 🐶 Your Dog Is Gaining Weight
Before anything else, talk to your vet. But if your dog’s putting on extra pounds and their diet hasn’t changed, they may simply not be getting enough movement. Most dogs need more than just a short walk once a day—they need regular, enriching activity to stay healthy.
2. 🛋️ Destructive Behavior at Home
Is your dog chewing pillows, shoes, or furniture? Digging in the yard or shredding their toys in frustration? These are often signs of boredom or excess energy. Enrichment-based dog walks provide both mental stimulation and physical release—helping reduce destructive habits.
3. 🚪 Accidents Are Happening Indoors
If your dog is having accidents while you’re at work, they may simply not be able to hold it. But sometimes, it’s emotional. Dogs crave connection. A midday visit from a familiar, trusted walker breaks up their day and gives them a sense of security and routine.
4. 🧠 They Seem Nervous or Lack Confidence
Dogs build confidence by exploring the world—new smells, sights, and sounds help them grow. If your dog is anxious, fearful, or under-socialized, regular walks led by a patient, enrichment-focused walker can make a huge difference.
5. 🧑💼 You Work. A Lot.
If you’re working long hours, weekends, or just always on, your dog may be feeling the effects. Dogs are creatures of routine and connection. A regular walker doesn’t just give them exercise—it provides emotional support, companionship, and consistency.
