doggie
doo-dosand don’ts
Astoria Sunday Market is a dog-gone friendly place. We are also a bustling and lively
affair so not all dogs will be wagging their tails during their stay. If you have a nervous
dog or one that is not well socialized please consider leaving him (or her) at home.
Here are a few Doggie Doo-do’s and Don’ts to help make your visit more enjoyable for
yourself, your pup, the vendors and all the other good folks vising the Market.
VOTED #1
1. Short Leash:
Please keep your dog on a short leash and do not use retractable leashes. The Market is a crowded place and
it is easy for other visitors to trip over leashes (or your dog).
2. No Doo-Doo Allowed:
Please be sure your dog has been thoroughly walked in an appropriate area before coming to the Market. If
your dog has taken care of his business at home he or she is less likely to need a relief at the Market. If
Mother Nature does call, please PLEASE clean up aer your dog. We have doggie-emergency cleaning kits at
the Cargo Trailer by the Food Court and by the Portable Office parked at Duane and 12th.
3. No “nkling” on vendor products or tents!
(One would think this doesn’t need to be spelled out but alas…) Please curb your dog. Some of our vendors
charge dog-owners a cleaning fee of $50 or more and the Market supports them in this endeavor.
4. Inquisive Noses:
Dogs follow their noses, especially around food. We request that dogs and their noses be kept away from
our food vendor booths. We suggest having a partner sit with the dog at one of the tables while you find your
favorite snack or meal.
5. Not Everyone is Nuts About Mus:
Please remember that not everyone loves dogs the way you do and some people may even be afraid of dogs
– especially the large breeds. No maer how sweet and adorable you know your pooch to be, please be
respecul of others.
One final p that my mother gave me as a child. Never ever tell someone “My dog doesn’t bite.” ALL dogs
bite when the right set of circumstances come into play. No maer how loving, adorable, and sweet-
tempered your masff or pug may be, the right trigger could cause the dog to bite. In parcular, we have
many children at the Market carrying yummy treats right at dog-level. Even a good dog may not be able to
curb their excitement when that kind of temptaon is just one lick away.
Aggressive dogs (or owners) will be asked to leave the Market. We strive to maintain a fun and pleasant
environment for everyone and with your cooperaon we can connue being dog-gone friendly!
