Poll: Do you think the dogs should be able to run free at this garden centre?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A dispute over dogs at a Paeroa garden centre has led to a $300 fine, neighbours honking air horns, spying allegations and questions over whether a business is a “public place”.

Donna Jamieson’s three dogs are her world, and part of the Country Dog Garden Centre experience.

However, various people have complained to Hauraki District Council about barking and off-leash dogs at the business. The council says they can’t be, and recently fined Jamieson $300 for a breach.

Do you think the dogs should be able to run free at this garden centre? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
