Biggest Pet Peeves for dog walking

Hi everyone, I pet sit and do daily dog walking during the weekdays.

Here recently, I’ve had a lot of dogs try to eat random things off the ground while we’re out! Even with dogs I’ve been walking for a while who don’t normally do that stuff.

Yesterday, I was walking one of my regulars and she found something on the ground and scarfed it down real fast. I told her to drop it, but she did not. She’s never done that before so I was quite shocked!

One of my other regulars tried to eat something off the ground on Monday. Thankfully, I was able to pull it out of his mouth before he could swallow it. He never does this either.

And today, one of my pet sitting clients ate something from the ground too! It’s just been a crazy week with dogs doing this for some reason.

Of course, I notified all of the owners immediately.

What crazy experiences have you all had recently?
