Aggressive Dogs?
On more than one occasion, I've had dog owners assure me that their pet gets along with others only to find out that this was false information. When pet owners are not 100% honest about their pet's behavior, it increases the risk of an emergency occurring and puts both my life and the life of other dogs in danger.
I have specific questions outlined on my profile which I request clients to answer when initially messaging me. And because I usually do book more than one dog at a time, the first question I ask is, "Does your dog get along well with others?". I will not watch any dogs who may cause conflict with others.
Other than only booking one dog at a time, how can I avoid this? Admitting your dog is aggressive or violent will obviously make your search for a sitter quite difficult, but this is essential information to be honest about.
