Professional dog walker guides
Group dog walking: managing packs professionally
Group dog walking can be efficient and enjoyable, but it needs professional judgement. The right dogs, route, equipment and record system matter more than simply adding more dogs to a walk.
Targets: group dog walking, dog walking pack, pack dog walking, multiple dog walking.
PackWalked Pro
GPS walks, dog-by-dog photos, owner updates and downloadable reports for professional walkers.
Before grouping dogs
- Understand each dog’s behaviour and recall.
- Confirm owner consent for group walks.
- Avoid mixing dogs just because the schedule is convenient.
- Have a plan for weather, route changes and incidents.
Records for group walks
- Record which dogs were on the walk.
- Keep photos linked to the correct dog and owner.
- Track the route and timings once for the group, while still knowing which dogs were included.
PackWalked and group walks
- PackWalked is built around selecting dogs for a walk and keeping the resulting record useful afterwards.
- That makes group walk admin easier than trying to piece together multiple separate notes.

How do I update multiple owners after a group walk?
Use a system that keeps photos and records connected to each dog and owner.
