With dreams of chasing squirrels and sniffing for buried treasure, what Pooper doesn't realize is his that mischievous antics are not going unnoticed. \u003cbr/\u003eDog walkers around the country are beginning to track their treks and jot down their journey with the help of new app. \u003cbr/\u003eDeveloped by Chicago-based 'Pet-Check Technology', the app allows professional walkers to upload updates - such as miles walked, bowel movements, pick-up time, future scheduled walks, and training lessons. \u003cbr/\u003eEach adventure is also traced in real time on a virtual map; letting the owner access their furry friend's activites when they are at work.  \u003cbr/\u003eDog walker Max Brand says the new system avoids miscommunication.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I prefer using Pet Check because it's clear on both sides of the table.  The client feels that everything is safe, secure - they know where their dog went on a walk, they know the time their dog spent outside. And from our angle, we don't have to worry about the client not knowing and we know exactly when the dog needs to be picked up, what their special needs are, whether they need to be fed. It's all right there on our iPhone.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBrand works for the Fetch Club, a luxury spot for the Big Apple's puppy elite. Located in New York's financial district, the club boasts everything from a shop stocked with high-end pet products to a lavish overnight hotel. \u003cbr/\u003eCo-owner Janna Lee says they knew the latest app would be the perfect addition their new 'Walk Club'. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We wanted to have more visibility with the owners and accountability for the walks that we did.  We felt they should be given as much information as possible about the services they are rendered.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSo how exactly does the app know when to track? Customers get a barcode to put on their door for the walker to scan. \u003cbr/\u003eThe scan registers the phone's internal GPS to begin logging its coordinates.  The details of the walks are then up to the walker to fill in, as one would a Facebook status.\u003cbr/\u003ePooper's owner Ami Goodheart says her workday completely changed when she signed up with the service. Working as a costume designer thirty-blocks north, she said she loves that it only takes a click to catch up with her cuddly companion. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I am so ultimately in love with my dog that I want to see what he's doing, checking on him every day, and they just make it so convenient to do all of that online.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBut to most outside the dog-lover circle, the gadget seems overboard. Is this amount mutt monitoring necessary?\u003cbr/\u003e \"I mean, I don't know, a lot of people have nanny cams and things like that. I don't have children; I have my dog. You know, he's my family.  So, I think that it makes sense to people who are pet owners. You want to know that everything is good and safe and having fun and not being neglected.\" says Goodheart. \u003cbr/\u003eOn the other side of town, the Humane Society of New York knows first hand the consequences of a neglected pooch. \u003cbr/\u003eAnne-Marie Karashi, the society's associate director, says more attention to dog welfare could only be a good thing. \u003cbr/\u003e\" I think it's important to know that you're paying for a service that you can trust. And a lot of times, people will pay for a dog walker, hoping that it's for a good hour or whatever they need in the afternoon. If the person's only taking the dog out for 15 minutes and back, then it might explain why their dog may not be as housebroken as they would like or getting anxious when they come home. It could explain a lot of behavioral problems. If they were addressed properly, then animals would not have to be surrendered to the shelters. So, it could be because they're not getting that walk that you're paying for and not getting all that energy out that you want, and they're frustrated.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAfter a hearty hike around town, Pooper finally heads home for the day. But not without a final lap of honour, caught on camera, for Mom. \u003cbr/\u003eNew York City, USA - 11 June 2012\u003cbr/\u003e1.
