Dog walking is a booming industry. There are more dogs needing to be walked than ever before, especially with all the lockdown puppies now grown up. But there are considerations to make when becoming or selecting a dog walker; one consideration is knowing how many dogs a dog walker can walk at one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although it is recommended that a dog walker should walk no more than four dogs at any one time, there is no definitive answer in the UK. The number of dogs a dog walker can walk as a group can be limited by local councils and insurance companies, so it is important for dog walkers to research this information independently. Read on to find out all the details you need in full.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
It can be tempting to get as many dogs as possible walked in one go, especially if you’re out to make a profit. However, this isn’t always the safest method. It can be dangerous not only for the dogs but also for you and others around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowing the maximum number of dogs you are allowed to walk as a dog walker is an essential part of the job; not only will it affect the dogs and yourself, but it is a decision that could affect the general public, too. Unfortunately, the maximum number is not settled upon by a central government or body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it is recommended that no more than four dogs be walked at any one time. The exact number of dogs an individual dog walker can safely walk will depend on various reasons, such as the chosen insurance policy, what transport is used, and if there are any council regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some council areas in the UK have regulations in place to limit or even ban dogs in public spaces; this is common during the summer months when tourist hot spots, such as beaches in Devon, Nairn, and Pembrokeshire, see a complete ban on dogs. Banning dogs from popular public places has been on the rise since 2019, and it is often advertised with large signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
