Dog leashes will be seen laid on the rider’s left wrist, not on the bicycle.
“I’m walking the dogs, it isn’t good,” the lady said to the rider, who asks her to place down her phone to have a “nice conversation.”
“They’re very talented at this,” says the rider, moving farther away from the camera, dragging the dogs behind him.
“You could have too many dogs,” continues the lady filming.

“It is unlawful to follow me and film me,” the cyclist replied and repeated her request that the lady put her phone down.
The lady had the last word before the video was cut, saying, “Well, let’s have a look at what the families need to say about it.”
Many comments left under the video expressed shock on the video showing the dogs following closely behind the motorcycle.

said James Webb, owner of Mad Dogs & Englishmen, a dog walking company Wentworth’s courier his company had a strict maximum of 4 dogs as more walks were “dangerous” and “illegal”.
“It absolutely drives me and all my franchisees crazy that folks can at all times walk greater than 4 dogs a day and the guards do nothing,” said Webb.
“Nobody is serious about guarding them, so people get greedy consequently and also you see individuals with 12, 13, 14, 15 dogs.”
He said Mad Dogs and English staff complied with legal requirements on account of the chance of walking in larger groups, saying they could possibly be “not possible” to manage.
“More often than not they will be okay, however the day they meet the unsuitable type of dog or something like that happens, then how are you going to, how are you going to separate the dogs in the event that they get in a fight?” he said.
The utmost penalty for someone walking greater than 4 dogs is a $1,100 superb.
