We're located on the sidewalk of a public village street. We couldn't ban dogs if we wanted to, unless the village decided to ban them from downtown in general. However, I don't see any reason why we would want to. Many people come through the market shopping with their dogs; other people seem to either actively enjoy seeing the dogs, or just ignore them. We've never had any problems. About ten years ago, at a different market, I did have a dog urinate on an herb container (it was a tall container holding seedhead stage dill, which was on the ground as it was too tall for the shelves.) I called out to the woman, who while trying to appear to ignore me moved away rapidly, without paying for the dill, which I threw out. I wouldn't call that a problem with the dog, however, so much as a problem with the human accompanying the dog. And it was one problem in ten years. And that market was in a public park, where I think it would also have been impractical to ban dogs. -- A third market I went to for a while, which was on private property, did ban dogs. I saw the market manager turn back customers who were headed for my stand because their dog was with them. Those customers never came back. -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 6A now I think Fresh-market organic produce, small scale |
