Dog walking
You may leave your house to walk your dog:
You should stay 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household or support bubble.
When walking your dog in areas used by other people, you should consider putting your dog on a lead to ensure you can stay 2 metres away from others.
You should wash your hands before and after handling a dog.
If you’re walking dogs on behalf of someone not able to
You may walk a dog for someone who is unable to, including someone who must not leave their house because they are self-isolating.
You should wash your hands before and after handling the dog and keep 2 metres away from other people and animals, including when handing over the dog to the owner.
If you’re self-isolating
If your dog cannot be exercised at home, you should ask someone outside of your household or support bubble to walk your dog for you, or access walking services provided by a professional.
You should notify anyone walking your dog on your behalf in advance that you’re self-isolating and arrange a no-contact service where possible.
