The dog owners can monitor the walk live with GPS tracking and are even alerted when their dog pees or poos. STORY-LINE:Wag! is the new mobile dog walking App allows you to schedule a walk for your 'dog' when you want it on the spot, and unlike other services, you get to choose your own walker immediately from a choice of online biographies, videos, reviews and testimonials.Wag! currently has a community of 100 certified, trained, insured and bonded dog walkers in the Los Angeles area. You can even track your dog's walks live on a map with GPS tracking.Jason Meltzer is the co-founder of Wag Labs Inc. He says the dog walking industry needs much faster response times and access for people who quickly or regularly need their dogs walked.\"It's really easy. It's like having a dog walker in your pocket. We provide GPS tracking for all of your dog walks. You get a report card after every dog walk, so you know how many minutes and miles the dog walker took your dog plus all the dog walkers are bonded, insured and background checked,\" says Meltzer.You browse the profiles of all the walkers in your area, through on site videos, reviews from other clients, bios and certifications. The user is also given full control of your walk schedule.Complimentary 'meet and greets' with the walker at the user's house is offered for those who want to pre-meet the walker and discuss the dog's unique needs.Wag! provides free lock boxes to securely store house keys if the dog owner is out or at work.After the walk is complete, a report card on how the dog did is provided - users can also receive a photo or video from the walk.The report card has information including distance walked, the duration of the walk and even whether the dog pees or poos!All Wag! walkers attending training classes. The cost per dog walk is USD $20 for 30 minutes, USD $30 for 60 minutes and USD $5 for every extra dog added to the walk. Business has grown quickly for Wag! It launched in January 2015 in Los Angeles and has over 150 dog walkers here in the city.Wag! recently launched in San Francisco with 55 walkers joining the scheme.Webster Fitzgerald was Wag!'s Dog Walker for the month of March.\"It's an app. You touch the app. You schedule a walk and you know that the people who are doing it are qualified. They have been screened. You don't have any serial killers coming to your house,\" says Fitzgerald.Claire Kaplan, another Wag! dog walker says the walkers on staff are carefully selected and each one loves animals. \"I've worked with horses in the past so you can say - Oh I want this person - I have a Great Dane or I have a Shitzu and they may be perfect for my high strung dog or my incredibly lethargic dog,\" says Kaplan.26-year-old Lauren DeMayo uses Wag! several times a week due to her long work hours as a bartender and as a student.\"I bartend here in Hollywood and my club can stay open until four in the morning so that means I won't get home until 4:30 or 5AM so I don't want to get up very early and he is cooped up inside our apartment all day so I will call them if I don't feel like getting up and taking him for a hike or a run. Sometimes I use them twice a day because I'm a full time student as well so there is a lot to get done,\" says DeMayo.Celebrity dog trainer and veteran animal behavioural expert David Reinecker is the creator of Dog Remedy, a training service that combines hand signals, voice commands and holistic remedies along with human-interaction techniques. Reinecker has helped thousands of dog owners nationwide to eliminate severe cases of fear and separation anxiety as well as specialising in the assessment and rehabilitation of problem dogs with training in behaviour modification.He says: \"Most dogs, especially the larger breeds, as much as small dogs too, are social animals and they sit there and develop social behaviour issues if they are left home alone. They need to have exercise. They need to interact with one another with new surroundings, new smells and tastes otherwise they develop social phobias. They start chasing their tails but the one I work with, separation anxiety, is destruction of property, going through windows, going through glass, barking excessively where neighbours complain and these are all do to lack of stimuli. Dogs by nature need stimuli, that's very important.\"Los Angeles - 30 March 20151. Mid of woman using her app to order dog walker2. Close low angle of woman using app 3.
