phoenix21 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I have been struggling to find a dog walker for Phoenix for when i work full time in september. I have emailed a few people who havent replied or have said they are full. I emailed a lady yesterday who has a dog walking company and asked her if she had any spaces. her reply was....sorry due to bad experiences i dont accept bull terriers or any aggressive type dogs... I feel really upset that she would just categorise staffies and phoenix as being aggressive in any way i know its her company and her choice but i now think maybe others havent replyed because of her breed. Wondering if i'll ever find anyone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix21 Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) i know it shouldnt bother me its just so annoying and she does one-to-one walks as well so its not as though she would have to be with other dogs anyway and I am yet to meet a staffie thats aggressive towards people - not that i would want anyone who doesnt like staffies walking my dog anyway..her loss.

BilRed Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I had problems finding a boarding kennels for a german shepherd, many would not take them and others charged up to £75 extra! Hope you find someone a bit more open minded soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celeste Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I wonder if it would be worth your while getting in touch with the Scottish Staffie Club, they have a branch in Glasgow, you never know they might know of someone who will oblige. On a completly diffrent topic, now that you are in Glasgow you might be interested in this Dog-Ed Scotland they have a few seminars in Glasgow, there's another training seminar this year at the Dogs Trust in Glasgow if your interested i can give you details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
