From the Friday before Memorial Day up until the day after Labor Day, dogs must remain on a leash that cannot exceed If your dog is an innocent-looking pug or a friendly lab then you don’t need to worry, because during the off season it’s also permitted to allow well-behaved dogs off their leash on the beach, as long as they don’t disturb other people and remain under your control.

Starting up a dog walking business is a perfect, flexible job for someone who enjoys spending time with dogs and getting outdoors and exercising. This means there’s going to be a lot of demand for dog walkers to take dogs out during the day while their owners are back in work.
