it has worked that way. i have gone to numerous dog classes, taken dog first aid, and i am certified. i also own a two dogs. i take them with me every day. if i have to cut my number is 25 orszag 6, that is going to cost me money, something like $10,000 every year, and i do not think that is there. i think that does not have to be done. all of our dog licenses are different. we work for our clients. sometimes i work on sundays and help them with their dogs, and it helps people have well- behaved dogs. i feel it is hard to micromanage a group that is the difference, and i feel that some of these restrictions are micromanaging us. i personally do not want to wear a lanyard. i would be ok to carry a card in my wallet if somebody does ask me, but you can see me and know what i am doing. it would be great, people have a huge packs of 16 to 20 dogs, or at least they have a helper to manage such a number. i feel that the $250 is too high for people starting a business. what if they
that the dog walkers should be asked to volunteer for that time, because this is a job, and we are not non-profit, so i think that also needs to be looked at. and, yes, i think what is going to cost people really needs to be looked at before this goes forward, and i would say that, i would really suggest that we do away with the guidelines, because also there are some costs, like training and getting the license, you know, getting the car ready or things like that. that is not small potatoes for me. and a i think we need time. basically, we need time to make sure that this legislation helps and not hurt. president: thank you. next speaker, please. hi, my name is i am a small business owner. i am a dog owner. i have been working with it for seven years. i started because i love dogs, and i realize that as much as i put into it, i will get out, and it has worked that way. i have gone to numerous dog classes, taken dog first aid, and i am certified. i also own a two dogs. i

training program or alternatively an apprentice schip program with an experienced dog walker. anyone who has been a dog walker with a license for three or more years will be grandfathered in. they don t have to go through the process because they re already experienced. basic safety standards in terms of transporting dogs, in terms of caring for the dogs while you re walking them in a park or other city property, an insurance program, which many dogs already have, which protect the dog walker as well as dog owners and members of the public. a permitting system to make clear who the dog walkers are who have met these qualifications. enlisting dog walkers to help us get dogs licensed, but not holding them accountable by punishing them for failing to do so. in other words, urging them to help us to license dogs, but not in any way punishing them if they walk dogs that aren t licensed, because that would be unfair to put that burden on dog walkers. and then what might be the most
