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)

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)

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)

Sourcing

Added several sources today in order to prevent the article from being deleted. Hope to come back at some point to greatly expand as I anticipate that most of the relevant sources will be in books rather than online. Miyagawa (talk) 14:41, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Orphan article up for adoption

I hereby announce the existence of an article on Dog walking in Iran which may be of interest to editors of this article, for example by means of wikilinking or even merging. BlockArranger (talk) 17:26, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Is this correct?

"The Iranian government globally banned dog walking since June 2025 in most of its cities." "Globally" means throughout earth, implying that Iranian government everywhere on planet earth. I think we should remove the world globally from this sentence. Cheeky91021 (talk) 02:19, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
