Answer:

Enforcement officers are there to ensure that everyone can safely enjoy our green spaces and that dogs are walked responsibly, this includes professional dog walkers. If dogs remain in designated areas (not in gated children’s play areas or gated sports areas), enforcement officers will not take any action. However, if an officer sees a dog walker with five or six dogs.

They will ask for evidence that either an application has been submitted (you can show your acknowledgment letter as proof) or that you are licenced. A photocard with an expiry date will be issued to you when you are granted your licence.

Answer:

Download the application form, send supporting documentation and pay the £240 fee as explained on the form.

If you need further guidance contact the team on healthand.safety@towerhamlets.gov.uk.

 

Answer:

A licence will enable a professional dog walker to walk up to SIX dogs at any one time. The council undertook a benchmarking exercise and found that local authorities who had brought in a maximum number of dogs PSPO order, the maximum number of dogs that they permitted being walked by an individual at any one time was six. The council wants to set a balance between supporting business and public safety.

Answer:

No. The professional dog walker licence allows for the walking of five or six dogs at any one time. If you will not walk more than four dogs at any one time, you will not need to obtain a professional dog walker license.

Answer:
  • Professional dog walkers may apply for a professional dog walking licence. However, the maximum number of dogs you can walk at any one time with a professional dog walkers licence is six. One person will not be able to walk more than six dogs at any one time even with a professional dog walkers licence.
  • If you are not a professional dog walker, you may consider applying to become a professional dog walker, or you will need to make alternative dog walking arrangements. For example, ensuring there is more than one responsible adult per four dogs or walking dogs on a rota.
Answer:

From 1 April 2026. This is because new fees and charges are introduced at the start of a new financial year.

Answer:

As part of the PSPO, the council has limited the number of dogs that one person can walk at any time to four. A professional dog walkers licence allows professional dog walkers to walk up to six dogs at any one time.
