Commercial dog walker with dogs off lead

Hi all,


Just a thing to look out for. I encountered a woman today walking down the Greendale track and then onto Greendale fields. She had around 8 (possibly more) dogs all off lead and they were coming towards me and my dog (on lead) she didn't try to control them and several of them ran up to my dog who is quite anxious anyway. One of them, a golden lab, went for my dog and nipped his ear. She just shrugged it off and said the dog isn't aggressive. That maybe so and I'm more than aware that dogs sometimes have a pop at eachother with no real aggression but I just think 8+ dogs off lead is just asking for trouble. I'd give them a swerve if any dog walkers see them. She didn't seem to care or apologise for the incident.

I thought there was a limit on the amount of dogs a dog walker can walk with?


Seen it a number of times as well where clearly a "professional" walker pays no regard to the dogs they are managing and they are running (and crapping) all over the place - saw this in Camberwell Cemetery the other day with a lady shouting loudly across to another walker whilst a funeral was going on nearby - was pretty appalled that not only she thought it was appropriate to have dogs running amongst peoples gravestones but also that she was being loud whilst a funeral was taking place.

    • Well worth signing up to become a "supporter" as they send their updates and often shed light on things the council and their supporters would rather didn't get too much attention! https://www.onedulwich.uk/get-involved
    • Spot on...and they rant against "anonymous" groups like One Dulwich and then post missives from "anonymous" lobby groups like Clean Air Dulwich without any sense of hypocrisy or irony...
    • The original council proposals for the area around the Dulwich cross roads were made well before Covid - and were rejected then by locals. The council used the Covid legislation to push through the LTNs when opposition was not allowed. LTNs, as experiments were some good (reduced traffic in areas which did not push traffic elsewhere and which did meet the needs of residents - typically in places very well served by public transport and where the topology (absence e.g. of hills) allowed wide use of cycling and walking - not as it happens a good description of the Dulwich (inc ED, WD and ND) areas.)  Dulwich never met Southwark's own description of ideal LTN areas, but did happen to match Southwark Councillor ambitions dating way back. One Dulwich has been clear, I believe that it is anti this LTN but not, necessarily all LTNs per se. But as it is One Dulwich is has not stated views about LTNs in general. In the main those prepared to make a view known, in Dulwich, have not supported the Council's LTN ambitions locally - whilst some, living in the LTN area, have gained personal benefit. But it would appear not even a majority of those living in the LTN area have supported the LTN. And certainly not those living immediately outside the area where traffic has worsened. As a resident of Underhill, a remaining access route to the South Circular, I can confirm that I am suffering increased traffic and blockages in rush hours whilst living some way away from the LTN. All this - 'I want to name the guilty parties' -' is One Dulwich a secret fascists cabal whose only interest is being anti-Labour?' conspiracy theorising is frankly irrelevant - whoever they are they seem to represent feelings of a majority of actual residents either in the LTNs, or in parts of Dulwich impacted by the LTNs. And I'm beginning to find these 'Answer me this...' tirades frankly irritating.
