Regulate Dog Walkers

  • Submitted by: Christine Grahame, Midlothian South, Tweeddale and Lauderdale, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Thursday, 03 December 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-23596

That this Parliament notes that, over the years, there has been an increasing number of dog walking businesses; understands that, over the many months of the COVID-19 pandemic, many more have become dog owners and that, with the return to work, there will most probably be an uptake in the requirements for dog walking services; notes that there are no specific regulations for those operating such businesses, nor is a licence required, and believes therefore that the administration should consider introducing regulations and a licensing scheme for dog walking services in the next parliamentary session.
