| That would be me too . I wouldn't make excuses, I would just tell them I don't allow my dog to be walked by anyone else....otherwise they'll just keep pestering you.

I agree though I'd say sorry no thanks you, I don't let anyone walk my dog. My children walk our dogs and this comes up also only certain friends of theirs can help and even though many of them ohhhh and ah and want to help you just tell them no thank you.

good point.. the parents would sue you if their children were walking your dog and got hurt. It is also "lack of manners" imo for the children to keep asking or to be allowed to keep asking by parents. think of what they learn by your response. It bugs me when a child (or adult) thinks if they keep asking the answer will be different. I tell my students that, I say why would I answer you differently now than an hour past?

| I'm laughing at some of the suggestions! These girls are maybe somewhere between 4th and 6th grade, I think. The first two times they asked, DH didn't know what to say, so he took the dog outside and they sort of walked along with him...but I don't want the neighborhood thinking he's some kind of perv out walking with little girls...KWIM? I told him the next time they come knocking he needs to tell them no.

| I would just say you enjoy walking your dog... unless your dog needs to be walked while you are at work then I don't see a need for a dog walker... I don't see how the parents are okay with this. Some parents are just so ignorant when it comes to certain things... I remember three kids in my neighborhood when I was younger playing on our property near wetlands... my mom was like you guys need to leave my property because she didn't want to be responsible for them and their response was but my mother said it was okay to play here... my mom was like your mother doesn't own this property.. I do so please leave. Those are 10-12 year olds walking around going to peoples apartments... to me thats a disaster waiting to happen.

| I suppose you must live in a fairly safe neighborhood but even so it is so foolish for parents to allow young girls to go around knocking on other people's doors. With so many young girls and boys disappearing and being harmed by predators it is just unthinkable for parents to be so uncaring. A human predator can be in any neighborhood. Even family members are not aware of how sick some in their household can be. People in our area do not even allow girl scouts to go door to door anymore. Hard to believe parents can be so unaware of the danger to their children. |
