Dog Walker Instructions
A dog who’s an angel with you can be a handful for someone new holding the leash. It hands your walker exactly what you know: where the harness lives, the usual route, how long, what your dog lunges at, and how to give it space. Fill it once, leave it by the door, and hand it over with the leash. For any owner who uses a walker.
Genuinely fillable · bilingual EN/ES · vet-sourced — not a scanned template.
What's inside
- A top strip for your dog’s name, your phone, and the walk date
- A gear checklist with room to note where the harness, leash, and poop bags are kept
- Write-on lines for the usual route, how long, potty spot, and how to lock up after
- A reactivity list: what your dog notices (dogs, bikes, people) and how to make space
- A short "please don’t let them" list — eating off the ground, off-leash, greeting without asking
- An emergency-contacts row for you, a backup, and your vet
How to use it
- Fill it in once at your kitchen table and keep it by the leash
- Walk the first route together so your walker sees your cues in person
- Update the reactivity notes whenever something changes, then reprint

- What if I don’t have a fixed route?
- Then write down the general area, roughly how long, and the spots to avoid — a busy dog park, a house with a fence-runner. The point is fewer surprises, not a map.
- Should I really tell the walker what sets my dog off?
- Yes. Honesty about triggers isn’t embarrassing — it’s what keeps both of them safe. Note the distance where your dog stays calm and ask the walker to keep at least that much space.
- Is this veterinary advice?
- No. It’s an educational planner to organize a walk. For anything about your dog’s health, behavior, or medication, ask your vet.
