These Lovely Dogs ‘Pack Walk’ And Pose For Pictures Together Every Day
If you’re a pet owner, you definitely understand that owning an animal is not an easy task. Most of them are adorable creatures who are always there for us, therefore, we need to take good care of them dedicating our time and energy. But not everyone is able to give their four-legged friends enough time every day.
Saratoga Dog Walkers in upstate New York offers a wonderful opportunity for those who love their dogs but don’t always have enough time to take them for a walk.

Dogs walk as a pack together on a daily basis and receive socialization, exercise, interactivity, structure, and contentment. Also, they develop a strong sense of community. It is extremely important for dogs to develop these skills.

You may think that it is difficult to handle a pack of dogs as some of them may fight with each other or behave badly, but Saratoga Dog Walkers knows what they’re doing so the situation is quite the opposite.

The pack usually consists of 10-15 dogs all walking together nicely.

These dogs are very cooperative and every once in a while they sit side by side, look into the camera and pose for pictures. And we must admit that they look like one big happy family!

Share on FacebookWow, getting them all to patiently sit so pics could be taken. Looks straight out of a family photo album.
Just realised after a 2nd look that the lab mix in alot of them - old dog, grumpy looking, must be blind or deaf. Always looking off to a different direction rather than with the rest of the dogs at the handler
Load More Replies...Beautiful dogs - how did he get them to sit in line with their backs to him?
Most probably they are well behaved and good disciplinary.
Load More Replies...What a great group of dogs, the handler does a great job controlling them and getting them to sit for the picture.
A handler needs that amount of control and discipline to manage that number of dogs in public. As a former dog owner - I would not have entrusted my girls to someone who I did not think was 100% in control of them when in his charge
Load More Replies...This is in my neighborhood, I've counted him with up to 21 dogs at a time. It's always funny to see people who have never seen him before stop dead in their tracks just stand there in shock & awe.
I wonder how long it took him. I worked for over 9 months with my corgi to master the perfect heal position all the time he is on a leash. Argo's not the brightest example of his breed, but still, corgis are super trainable, unlike some of the breeds from this pack! This trainer must be one of the best in his field!
I was the same - had to take our two dogs on walks seperately as I didnt feel 100% in control of both at once because of their strength - together they weighed more than me.
Load More Replies...I don't "own" my dog, she's not a possession.. she's family. That said... this is so stinkin adorable!
Could you imagine coming out of your house to see this one morning? LOL!
That would make my day....I may also turn into a mild stalker and try "running into them" "accidentally" every. Single. Day.
Load More Replies...OMG , these pictures are too cute!! They look so cute sitting next to each other in such an orderly fashion.
As a professional dog walker, I abhor this practice. It isn't safe, no matter how nicely those dogs normally get along, because you never know when a squirrel running past or an off lead dog running up to attack will happen. Once that happens, there will be no controlling that many dogs at once. These are very attractive pictures, but not worth the risk, imo. Further, how is the dog walker able to pick up poops when they happen??
If you don't have a dog these might look really cute but as a dog owner i find this really disturbing. He can walk 2 dogs at a time. There are big and small dogs they can hurt each other. This is not ok. No one should take care of 20 dogs, it's impossible to do it right. Also dogs seem really uncomfortable in every photo.
That little old puggle who looks so over it is seriously giving me life
I simply adore how there are so many different breeds working together so nicely!
lol most of their faces are saying: oh god, not this again, ok ok act cool.. CHEEEZ
I love the picture in front of the single tree, where all of them have their tongues out. 😍
I love the yellow Lab that needs the gentle leader. So does my Lab! Pulls like a m**o.
OK, I have already stilled myself for backlash.. This doesn't make me all warm and fuzzy. I know it's "discipline" training and all to get them to do this but they do not look like happy dogs to me. A comment on the website struck me sideways "if your dogs do not know how to walk in a pack, they will learn". Sorry but I'd rather see them playing in a dog park! Still, kudos to them for accomplishing this.
They look serious in the first few -but many others they look quite happy. Would think they are better off getting a some fresh air, socialisation and exercise than sitting home alone all day. To be honest I bet the dogs are just bored in some - must take a while to get all of them sitting still and looking straight ahead, but they all look focused and listening to the handler. I would also imagine (not looked at the website) that it is best not to let them off the leash when they are in charge of a number of animals. If one gets in a fight then they cannot concentrate on the rest and are responsible for the safety and wellbeing of animals whilst in their care. Love the old grumpy, squinty-eyed lab mix. The Doberman is in almost every pic - wonder if it belongs to the owner.
