Today we got the honor of interviewing Jennifer. You can find a direct link to their Instagram here.
Here is their story:
Can you tell us about your journey to becoming a dog influencer? What inspired you to start sharing your dog's adventures on social media?
Robinson: I run adventures pack walks in Perth, Western Australia. Originally from Scotland this is a really common service but when I moved here I noticed it didn't seem so common. I knew I'd never be a 30min on lead round the block type of dog walker.
What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Robinson: Our adventures are contagious, everyone loves a dirty wet muddy dog with its tongue all the way out and eyes sparkling with life - that's Duggies.
How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Robinson: I try to capture a feeling - action pics and scenery that speak to the owners and tell a story of freedom and grounding environments.
Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Robinson: I have never faced negativity or challenges this far. I try to be authentic and real and I hope that is conveyed through my posts.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Robinson: Be consistent but not overbearing, have a theme but don't be repetitive.
How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media?
Robinson: I walk 14 dogs a day (2 x packs of 7) these dogs have done more for me than I could ever give them pack. I feel privileged to be apart of their life in such a high value aspect. They show me patience, non-judgment, forgiveness, always showing up for your friends and appreciating the moment. I would like to think those incredible traits have been passed on to my personal life.
Can you tell us about a particularly memorable or funny moment you've had with your dog during one of your photo shoots or adventures?
Robinson: You just never get the best bits on camera, only yesterday as I was taking a pic of a dog another one came from behind - started her, lost her balance and fell off the ledge and into the lake...poor Bella!
What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Robinson: I love when people message me to say that the videos and pics make them happy. It is satisfying to know they can feel even a fraction of what I get to every day.
Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Robinson: We are building our pack every day - with such intelligent breeds on boards we're going to be showing off their tricks and impulse control. These pups love to mess around but they're smart and it would be a shame not to show that.
