Easy Walker

We have a lab/staffy mix and our trainer got us the Easy Walk Harness, as she is an avid puller and the trainer said this would help. IT has indeed helped a LOT with the pulling, but she still pulls a little and we correct her by pulling her back to us. Well it rubbed a sore under her leg. :( I notified the trainer and she said that was normal on short haired dogs. We want to continue walking her with the harness but it rubs the sore raw. We tried putting sock under the harness in hopes it would stop the rubbing and it did not. We are going to let it heal before we put the harness back on. BUT are there any ways to still use and stop the rubbing? She doesn't seemed bothered by it at all, but I am. Any suggestions?

I have a suggestion out of left field.

Try: "My Dog Pulls. What Do I Do?" by Turid Rugaas for ~ $10 on Amazon. I tried it with my Golden Retriever, and he walks very gently. It requires lots of patience, but it only took 30 days, and it works beautifully.... with any leash.

thats a hard thing to answer considering we dont know how long ago was the transplant being done.. and you should really base that on what the doctor suggests.. ask him on your next check up

Once there are no medical complications, mild exercises should not be a problem. However, you should discuss this with your doctor to ensure that you have recovered enough to start exercises.

Generally, there should not be a problem to mild walking or swimming 18 months after kidney transplant. Talk to your doctor and visit this site for some more tips:

im thinking about it
how much should i charge them per walk?
how do i get the word out?
and how easy is it to become one?

As usual it depends on where you live and if you want to do this as a hobbie or a living. Some cities require that dog walkers have licenses so you will need to look into that.

What you charge will depend on your services and more importantly what your local market can tolerate. If every other walker is charging $15 an hour you won't do well to charge $30 etc..

Word of mouth is always the best way. You can start with a few flyers in local stores etc.

It will be a good idea to take a pet first aid course and make sure you know how to handle the dogs. Not all dogs are cute and fluffy and know how to heel. Don't get in over your head.
