This is tricky.
I think where there is a profession of dog walking by anyone,there should be tests and standards to reach before doing that work for others.

I can well see the problem this could create for those providing a service of dog walking.

However, I do come across people with over 4 dogs who don't seem in control.
The dog fouling is a separate issue,picking up after one dog or 4 to 6 takes seconds.

I'd say it's more people who come out without bags or one dog who at times don't pick up the mess.
That is always going to be a hard one to resolve.

Overall however I support a limit on how many dogs should be walked by one person.
With perhaps a bit of compromise for fully trained professional dog walkers.
