FIDO can still go walking with his
furry friends in West Vancouver.

Protessional dog-walkers and others who
walk more than three pooches ata time won a
reprieve Monday sight when West Vancouver
council sent its new Animal Control and
Licence bylaw back to staff tor further consid-
eration. After introducing the new bylaw on
June 5, which was designed to clarify, update
and consolidate two existing bylaws, the

pality received a flood of

from dov-owners and pro!
ers Who were concemed about the sew limit of
three dogs per walk.

On Monday night they almost filled the 70
sgats in council chambers. Seven people spoke
about their concerns in the halfthour allotted
to discuss the issue.

“It’s inhumane,” said licensed dog-walker
Lon Knight.

The West Van resident is the owner of Great
Walks and is 2 professional dog trainer. She said
if dog-walkers were limited to three dogs per
walk she'd have to up her prices, and many of
the seniors and working families who use her
services woulda’t be abse to afford it. Instead,
they'd have to tether or confine their dogs. She
painted a picture grim with the horrors of a
municipality full of unwalked dogs.

“Hf vow want well-behaved animals they
need exercise, they need nourishment, they
need company.”

She said dogs that are not walked regularly
are more likely to bark incessantly, become
destructive or aggressive

Many of the spe suggested council
adopt 2 program similar to the G
Vancouver Regional District's, i
sional dog-walkers are registered and limited to
two dogs on leash and six dogs off.

Council tabled the bylaw until July 10, to
allow staff to take the remarks made at the
meeting into consideration, and to meet with
dog-watkers in an effort to find an amenable
solution.
