Dog walking is the act of a person walking with a dog, typically from the dog's residence and then returning. Both owners and pets receive many benefits, including exercise and companionship. In the UK, The Kennel Club surveyed 1,000 dog owners and found that one in five did not walk their dogs on a daily basis. Dogs are walked restrained by a collar around their neck or by a harness, or by simply following their guardian by familiarity and verbal control. Commonly, the dog is walked by the guardian, or by another family member, but there are also professional dog walkers.
