Description

Professional dog walkers say proposed Auckland Council changes will impact their services.  

The council's looking at limiting the number of dogs people can walk at once to six, with only three of those able to be off a leash.  

There are also changes proposed to keep dogs out of places with vulnerable wildlife at parks, and to provide some places that are completely dog free.  

Cassie Jefferies from the Professional Dog Walkers' Association told Francesca Rudkin they take large packs of around 14 so it's affordable for people.  

She says they take them to the beach or forest, and the cost of petrol is balanced out by taking the numbers they do.
