[edit] Photo request

I would like to request a photo of a dog walker walking many animals from various leeshes.^{Cholga is a SUPERSTAR}¡Talk2Cholga!_{Sexy Contribs} 23:34, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stubbed

I have cut back and stubbed this page which is unsourced and was in the form of an unencyclopaedic personal essay. New content should only be added if it can be inlined sourced. BlueValour (talk) 23:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Accuracy

I do not agree that this is a true reflection of a dog walking service. A true animal lover will walk only a few dogs at one time to allow for the individual needs of the owners dog. How on earth can one control 12 dogs???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.1.50.43 (talk) 21:00, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Little bit disappointed that what I considered to be valid links to external sites showing the main professional bodies of dog walkers were cut and that the article is now back to being a "personal essay". Can I just say that one of them I mentioned I don't belong to so it wasn't of any personal gain for me to show it.Redruff (talk) 20:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

External links are being increasingly discouraged unless, exceptionally, they link to informative information that enhances the article. Lists of service providers, professional bodies and the like are definitively excluded by WP:EL. I do agree, however, that it is too much like a personal essay. This will be fixed, not by adding inappropriate links, but by including sourced prose backed up by reliable, independent sources. BlueValour (talk) 00:13, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
