sorry but can’t resist this one… how you going to get pointers if she only has spaniels?  😀

re: walking groups, was just wondering about insurance, not something i’ve ever been involved with – but society is so b****y litigious today you might need some sort of ‘at your own risk’ thing to clarify you aren’t responsible for everyone else and their dogs. no idea re wording sorry, am clueless on legal stuff…

[kerrie and stan]

i had wondered about that. so if thats the case then should i get something written up and get them to sign it then saying somthing along those lines or just put it on the add

[GSPmad]

not sure i’m afraid – think izzie might know a bit about legal stuff?  :-\

[kerrie and stan]

think i might pm her to have a look 🙂

[Izzie]

Ok, before you all ask, nope not an expert on legal stuff- its just bits of random info I have picked up over the years but….

If you are looking to start up a local dog walking group to meet once a week/month, etc.

You wont need insurance- as you are just literally walking the dogs, with friends.

If it were a staged show, etc – such as a companion show – where members of the public are paying a fee to join then you would have to get insurance- public liability insurance.

the best way to go about it Kerrie is to start chatting to people, and arrange to meet up for a walk in the week , you will soon find yourself surrounded with people looking for another person to walk with!  😉

HTH?

[kerrie and stan]

thanks izzie ;D ;D

[kerrie and stan]

HTH ???

well i have speken to a few people and they up for it and ive put a post on my local website so will have to wait and see what happens 🙂
