u/Active-Candidate-757

going back to work after working from home for two years and planning to use a dog walker for our dog who has only ever been walked by us. worried about how she will adapt to a stranger walking her especially since she is not particularly social with unfamiliar people, a trainer at op barks mentioned that doing a few short handoff walks together before the actual transition, where you walk alongside the new walker first, tends to matter more than any specific leash training
wondering whether there is specific training that helps dogs transfer their leash manners and general behaviour to a new handler or whether it is mainly about the dog walking process itself and finding the right walker
