will i have to hide my dog

We are opening a market stall soon but as i walk around i keep getting people looking at my baby troy as if he is a devil i keep telling people hes friendly but im sick off people avoiding him and giving me nasty looks ........do you think it will affect the market dont give a toss he will be there anyway

what are u selling?

printing tshirts .hoodies .ect we do personalized hen/stag ive offered staff tshirt's hoodies ' so might not be a good idea in this part of area ....and car stickers ....i duno just sick of being looked down

Stick a pink fluffy hat on him and hay presto!!!

Seriously I would never hide him, as long as he is well behaved you can use it as an advertisment of how great the breed is! Good luck with the stool

Maybe he will attract some custom and let people see how wonderful they are. Good luck with the stall

No, I wouldn't hide him, either!

Have you thought about getting a soft travelling crate and putting a foam mattress in it? You could pop him in there the first couple of times you're running the stall so that people can see him but not feel threatened? Then, after a while, people will get used to seeing him & you can start letting him out.

He'd probably be more comfortable with his own little den, anyway!

He's far to cute to hide away

Dont hide him, show him to the world, hes just another dog in a manner of speaking, bout time those that think like that, saw its just another loving dog and not a evil dog! I always smile when walking pass people that give Pixee a horrible look And yet I get a lot of comments off others that say what a pretty looking dog she is. So, go on show off Troy and be proud, and I do agree with a crate to start with, just so you can be more relaxed too when dealing with people, good luck

Agree with above he should not be hidden away, definately not. As mentioned see about getting some kind of crate for him to be in when he is out with you.

Which market are you at? I work in Shrewsbury so not too far for a visit

I think a crate is a good idea too - one time a woman brought her dog to the market I worked at, and the poor wee soul was constantly avoiding being stepped on and freezing the whole day

thank you for the advice been talking to my partner about this and think the best think is he has a bed on the back seat in the car with his seat belt harness we are going to extend so he can come out or in the car but cant get round to people but people can come to him if they want to as there will be lots of kiddies as we will be doing bibs ect for kids we will be doing dog stuff to might even look into some tops for troy jules ill be at canock market on sundays we still not sure about saturday we got the market just need to do it up but we might go away this weekend as might be the last time for quite awhile and thanks for all the suport hope it dos well and sell alot of staffy stuff to help there name

Good luck, hope you do well!
