• Willing to investigate different local councils about their local bylaws and whether or not you need a license to walk more than 2-3 dogs at a time.
• Mindful enough to recognise when its a hot day to ensure a dogs paws don't get burnt or ensure they don't overheat, and ensure they get enough water.

Always make sure you take treats with you when exercising dogs, so you can continue positive training. 

Please remember that some dogs will require an hour-long walk twice a day, while others may not enjoy walks at all. If a dog shows signs that they are afraid while on a walk, do not persist. Instead, contact the RSPCA for further advice.
