Multiple dog walking - Licences
A bye-law known as the Maximum Number of Dogs in Grounds and associated Dog Control Orders control the number of dogs that can be walked by an individual in parks and open spaces and on the public highway in Wandsworth. Where the bye-law is in place, a licence is required for an individual to walk more four dogs at any one time up to a maximum of eight dogs. In the majority of other parks and open spaces and on the public highway, the number of dogs that can be walked by an individual is limited to a maximum of four.
