Thanks for the reminder Jessica . Perhaps all of us who use dog walkers can also kindly forward these rules to them too as a reminder too. I know we try to respect these rules but let’s all make sure they do too- there is one dog walker who comes into Lincoln who doesn’t and we and others have had to remind this person repeatedly about this when she has 3-5 unleashed dogs with her. And we have dogs and love doggies it’s not about dog love!
