The dog walking business in Auckland has boomed, in particular pack walking that can involve groups of as many as 15 dogs being walked at once.
But this has come with an increase in problems - from fighting in the pack, to lost dogs and in one case an attack on a pet by off leash dogs being pack walked.
Auckland Council has proposed regulations to restrict the number of dogs being walked at any one time and where all dogs can be walked.
But the Professional Dog Walker's Association in Auckland says the plans are not the right way to fix problems in the industry.
We talk to Auckland Councillor and chair the Regulatory and Safety Committee Josephine Bartley and a council member of the Professional Dog Walkers Association and owner of Auckland pack walking business, The Dog Squad, Cassie Jefferies.
