Hey there. If anybody has a dog walking business or knows of any good books that could help guide somebody as they start a business from home, please let me know. Love dogs and know how to do it, just want to make sure I know all I need to know. Thanks!

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I have thought of starting one of these myself one day. Here are some helpful websites first to start you off;

http//:Start a Professional Dog Walking Business

http//:Start A Dog Walking Business

Here are some good books on this too, but I don't think there's something you'll find in the book that you couldn't already find online but some people do prefer hard copies;

The Dog Walker's Startup Guide By J.D. Antell

Here are some books on Amazon;

Amazon.com: Dog walking: Books

You also may wish to visit your local book stores and discount book stores.

Good luck!

When checking out amazon.com, be sure to check out the second hand books being offered by various sellers. You can almost always get a really good deal. I've always been very satisfied ordering second hand books.

I seriously need my dogs walked. I got a compressed disk in my back and haven't been able to walk them. Buster has been driving me nuts. Do you live in Ohio?
