Argentina is the Latin American country with the highest concentration of pets.
Dog owners can entrust their pets to Paseador de perros.
These are young boys or girls who entertain dogs either for neighborhoods or parks designated for pets. It is thought that dog walking is simply to satisfy one’s physiological needs, instead, a healthy walk is necessary for the health and well-being of our pet.
The Paseador de perros is a true profession with good knowledge of the functionality of collective walking. Depending on the dog’s breed, age and physical condition, requirements change. The dogs are taken to their homes and returned after about two hours.
The ability to keep the canine group together is truly unique. It is surprising how easily Paseadors can handle 5 to 15 leashes in their hands. It is curious to see so many dogs on the pavement jogging close to each other, without barking, without fighting each other and without pulling on the leash.
At the moment of physiological need, all dogs wait quietly and motionlessly for their companion to finish, and then start walking again. When the paseador walks away to return one dog to its owner, the others remain quietly in the group, tied up, waiting to be returned to their destination.
Every time a call comes in for a new assignment, the dog is given individual walks for at least two outings so that he gets acquainted with his new companion.
Maybe in times of crisis we invent a profession? It’s likely.
These guys have taken courses so they can pursue their profession. Dogs must be carried responsibly. They must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency for this activity.
