Housesitting for an aggressive pit bull? [closed]
For those that watch bigger dogs, would you do housesitting (theoretically, if you don't actually housesit) for a pitbull that is dog-aggressive, food-aggressive and aggressive towards men? I really wanted to help out this woman who basically inherited her father's pitbull (the dog came with the father's house he sold to them) but I find that the prospect is making me anxious & wonder if I'm crazy for considering a strong dog client with these issues. I did a practice walk with the dog which went fine (and we're easily able to avoid other dogs and people) but when we went inside and the owner put her fingers in the dog's food (I think she was just demonstrating how the dog can get & obviously feels comfortable because it's her pet) the dog glared at me in a really scary way & then barked at me when I left. I know the choice to do a stay is individual but is this obviously just too risky? Does anyone have anything to share; similar stories, insight, etc?
