The doghouse

tracker to monitor dog when out without me

We use a dog walker one day a week and have reasons to believe that he is not keeping his side of the bargain Sad
We'd like to get a tracker so that we can see where the dog goes when he is out with him. Is there such a thing? DH has a tracker on his golf bag but it works via Crowd GPS and so isn't suitable for a dog in a field.
Any ideas please?
TIA

If you don't trust the dog walker just get rid .

here here!

I have seen dogwalkers out, not doing what owners have been promised! they are not all good, same as trainers.

Not trusting them is all you need to know, just find another, they do seem to be everywhere now so hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult.

Are you just doubtful he actually walks your pooch or do you think he is horrible or neglectful towards it?
If his behaviour towards your dog is worrying you just get rid of him there are plenty of dog walkers around

If you've got to the stage where you feel you need to check up on your dog walker you need a new one.

Thanks guys. We think he might be taking him for a quick 10 minute or so road walk rather than the 1 hour minimum park walk with another dog(s) that we are paying for.
i have a plan for this week that will enable me to know exactly what time he arrives and what he actually does with the dog and will decide what to do after this week.
You're right; there is a plethora of dog walkers available and I thought I had done my homework and chosen wisely and correctly. I'm upset to think that might not be the case.

Interesting. What makes you think that?

Can you tell from how dirty he is?
