Dog walkers provide a 20 to 60-minute daily walk for a client’s（客户）dog, making sure the dog answers the call of nature and gets proper exercise. They often walk more than one dog at a time. Some walkers work for dog-walking services, especially when starting out. Others have their own businesses, and build by word of mouth and advertising. Dog walkers often work part-time, and some provide other services like pet sitting or transporting.

In N.Y.C., dog walkers usually earn about $25 an hour. If you work for a dog-walking business, you may earn less-if you are on your own dealing with several dogs at the same time, it may be more.

What do you have to do to be a dog walker?

First, have a real love of dogs, and have a good knowledge of how to get on with dogs. Try calling dog-walking services to find out about openings. If you’re on your own, you’ll need to network and market yourself. You might advertise your services in pet offices, grooming businesses, or neighborhood papers. You will need business cards and a mobile phone, and have good references and a clean background. You’ll also have to deal with taxes and insurance. You should be physically fit, friendly, neatly dressed and extremely dependable. Many dog walkers are bonded（被担保的）and insured, and this is a definite selling point to clients.

Of course, you will be cleaning up dog waste! You will also be outside in all kinds of weather. You may have to deal with dogs that don’t like each other ,and difficult owners. It’s also an up and down kind of business-clients can come and go.

For pet lovers, spending the workday with dogs instead of navigating office politics is its own reward! You are your own boss-you can dress casually, your doggy clients will love you unconditionally, and you’ll get some great exercise!

A branch of psychology called neurolinguistic programming has made an interesting and useful discovery :You can change the way you imagine or remember things without changing what you imagine, and it will change your feelings．For example, if a visual memory makes you sad whenever you think about it, you can make that mental picture smaller and dimmer, and when you do, the memory won’t make you as sad．Since you haven’t changed the content of the memory, you haven’t lost any information．You have simply made it less painful．
When you visually remember a pleasant memory, you can made the picture more colorful and the money will give you even more intense good feelings．You can make your pictures of the future brighter, wider , deeper, or you can bring the images closer．Changes like these will make you feel different--- even when you leave the content of the picture the same．
These are general guidelies （指导方针）．You’ll need to experiment for yourself to find out what will work for a particular image．For a few people, making an exciting picture brighter makes the feelings less intense．And for some kinds of pictures, increasing the brightness would cause the feelings to become less intense --- for example, a romantic memory．
What is true for visual images also applies to the way you talk to yourself．
For example, if you have trouble motivating yourself , try changing the tone of voice you use when you spread to yourself．Some people order themselves about ．The voice they use to talk to themselves is harsh and commanding．Listening to yourself being bossy can have the same effect as listening to someone else being bossy: It can make you want to rebel．Change your tone to friendly or seductive, and you might feel more motivated ．When you tell yourself, “I can do it,” fill your internal voice with enthusiasm and back it up with inspiring music．The possibilities are in fact endless．
The important thing to understand is that they way you code your inner world has an impact , and you have quite a bit of control over that coding．You can change it deliberately．When you do , it will change your feelings, which change your actions, which will change the world around you．．
