You can earn between £15 and £20 walking a dog, so instead of taking them all out individually, she appears to have taken them all out at once.

 I may start walking dogs.

A dog psychologist has said only stressed out dogs would act in this way and if only one or two of them had been troubled, then the whole pack wouldn't have behaved this way but the fact they all attacked her means they were all stressed and might have been from the moment they arrived at the park.

They might all have been strangers to each other and bundled together in the back of a van.

Where they in cages, or all huddled together, maybe some dog snapping, one of them Shiva was 11 stone.

A dog that size should be walked on it's own and not with six other dogs, a collie, cockapoo, and two sausage dogs are now known to have been with her.

 Anyone with a fundamental knowledge of dog psychology knows this.   So Dog walkers need to be  educated in that department.

 It's obvious why, more money per hour.  If you think about it, potentially she could be earning £200 per hour doing it this way.

---

 Do it a couple of times a day or even a week and she's making a fortune.

The owners probably thought she was taking them out one at a time or two at a time at the most but seven dogs and one of them  was eleven stone?

Have you heard was happening to the dogs yet Digs, it would be awful if they were all put to sleep over this.

 They probably need to ascertain what the cause of death was.   Bleeding.  Heart Attack.  Shock.  Etc.

 They haven't released any details at all Digs, not even her name.

A report said some dog walkers congregate and you can have as many as thirty dogs walking together.

 I think part of the problem is people don't take the time to train their dogs properly.   They don't understand dog psychology and don't care if their dogs run wild.   Also, if you purchase from a puppy farm, who knows at what age that pup gets taken from its mother?  8 weeks minimum so that they can socialise with other dogs and humans.  I think a lot of people get dogs, go out to work all day, pay someone else to walk them and that's it.   I also think dog licences should be brought back.

 Lack of training and the anthropomorphism of animals. 

Pets are not furry little babies. They are animals that need to be trained and understood.  Especially the larger and more powerful the animal.

 I think dog licences would be a good idea and some owners should be forced to go to dog training classes.

You see plenty of dog's round my way and the owners have no control over them.

That dog that attacked me last year was caused by a bad owner that couldn't control her dogs and now I have a bloody papillon going for me and Shorty every time we go out.

It's snarling and baring it's teeth, it's only a matter of time before it bites us or someone else.

 Dogs snap or are aggressive for a multitude of reasons.   It's also a form of communication that humans misunderstand.  It can be a way of showing fear, of needing space, etc.  It's also a protective instinct gone haywire.   I don't believe dogs are aggressive because of the dog, it's a response from poor ownership.

 My first dog Zoe was aggressive, a man used to turn and go the other way when he saw us coming. That stemmed from a Rottweiler attacking her when she was young. Zoe never actually bit anyone after she was attacked but she didn't want another dog or human she didn't know near her. I suppose the wee dog that keeps growling at us could have experienced something similar.
