I agree that it's not unusual to see commercial dog walkers with groups of six to eight dogs on One Tree Hill, of all shapes and sizes, sometimes running free and off the leash. I have been up on One Tree Hill when more than one walker with a group of dogs this size has been present. That's a lot of dogs!

If I've gone to the Hill for a bit of peace and quality quiet time the collective frenzied barking and yelping of a group that size effectively scuppers that plan. If I've gone up there for a run, then I sometimes find myself with an excitable pack of hounds barking around my heels. As a healthy bloke in middle age, I just find that a bit exasperating. For anyone more frail, and for mums with young kids, I can imagine that sort of thing being a bit intimidating.

When it comes right down to it, I suppose that I do find it a bit distasteful to see a free pleasant public space hijacked as a resource for a commercial enterprise, often without much consideration for the other users of this valuable oasis of peace and quiet.

Whereas I've no problem at all with responsible dog-owners walking their own pets. Obviously.
