Question:

Answer:
  • Between 1 October 2025 and 1 April 2026, the council will waiver enforcing the four-dog limit for professional dog walkers.
  • Professional dog walkers will be able to walk up to six dogs at any one time without a professional dog walkers license but must not walk more than six.
  • Professional dog walkers can register their interest in obtaining the license by emailingHealthand.Safety@towerhamlets.gov.uk. The council will contact professional dog walkers known to us nearer the time with specific information about the license process.
