Regulate dog walking businesses.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I want dog walkers to be regulated and licensed. Dog walkers should have to take an exam before a license is issued. I believe every dog walker should know about k9 body language and rules of walking dogs

I'm dog walker and I have seen other walkers with more dogs than they can handle, as well as putting multiple dogs in cars with no nothing between them to prevent fights breaking out, making it very dangerous for the driver and anyone else on the road. A lot of walkers, see this job as a quick money making, and do not realise they are putting dogs and people at risk by not knowing how to control dogs in certain situations. GIving professional walkers who have done the training a bad name.
