Ready for my two cents worth? I thought not but here goes anyway. I am a former dog owner. I like well mannered dogs. It is a sign of a well mannered owner. Well mannered dogs are welcome anywhere I am.
Banning dogs at the square would be unfair to those who are responsible dog owners. I will tolerate the irresponsible although I feel sorry for their dogs.
Banning dogs would have to be a joint effort between the VCCD and Lady Lake or Sumter County. The streets are public. Inside the square is not.
Banning dogs would send a very negative message to potential buyers. Not only to dog owners but it would say to me that if they can ban dogs there is no telling what other mischief they can cause. Ban cats, kids, in-laws or anything that walks flies or swims? Nope. Won't work. Bad idea. If dogs were banned I am afraid The Villages would become a ghost town.
BTW, as far as I know there is no cure for irresponsibility.
