How to Use the Dog Walker Address Book

The Dog Walker Address Book is designed to help professional dog walkers organise all client and dog details in one place. It allows you to store contact information, dog profiles, access codes, and notes for each client. Everything is saved automatically in your browser. 1. Adding a New Client At the top of the page, there’s a field labeled "Add New Client Name". Enter the client’s name. Click "Add Client". The client will appear in the list below with a unique client code (e.g., 0001). Tip: You can leave some details blank for now and fill them in later. And you can label the House Key with the Number Allocated so there are no identifiable details. 2. Viewing and Editing Client Details Each client appears as a card showing their code and name. Click "Toggle Details" on a client card to expand their details. Fields you can edit include: Owner’s Name Address Telephone Alternative Name Email (if entered, a clickable mail link appears) Key Code Alarm Code Notes Tip: All changes are saved automatically in your browser. You don’t need to click a save button. 3. Managing Dogs for Each Client Under each client, there’s a Dogs section. Click "Add Dog" to add a new dog profile. For each dog, you can store: Dog Name Date of Birth (DOB) Breed Colour Notes (behavioural notes, medical info, preferences, etc.) You can delete a dog by clicking the "Delete Dog" button inside the dog’s box. Tip: You can store up to 4 dogs per client. Keep detailed notes for each dog to ensure safe handling and accurate care. 4. Deleting Clients To remove a client, expand their details and click "Delete Client". A confirmation will appear. Confirm to remove the client from your address book. Warning: Deleting a client also removes all associated dog profiles. 5. Notes and Additional Information Use the Notes section for any special instructions about the client or their dogs. Notes might include: Feeding preferences Behavioural issues Vet or medication info Key handling instructions 6. Searching and Organising Currently, the address book shows all clients in the order they were added. Consider using consistent naming conventions (e.g., last name, first name) to make finding clients easier. 7. Auto-Save and Data Storage All client and dog data is automatically saved in your browser's local storage. You do not need to manually save changes. Data will persist as long as you use the same browser and device. Tip: Consider exporting or backing up data periodically to avoid loss. 8. Best Practices Keep client and dog details as accurate and complete as possible. Update information whenever there’s a change in address, contact, or dog details. Use the notes field for special instructions that help ensure safe and professional dog walking. This address book makes managing your clients and their dogs simple, organised, and professional. It is especially useful for busy dog walkers managing multiple clients or group walks.
