How to handle dogs with behavior issues mid-stay?

It appears that you may have already removed your services from rover. I’d suggest keep in mind that whether the dogs are boarded at your home or staying at theirs, it can be stressful for the dog, especially when you’ re new to them.

To set yourself up for successful stays, I highly recommend that you build a relationship with the dog before any long stay. If want to book housesitting, talk to the dog owner about scheduling walks. Walk time is often bonding time. If it’s for boarding, discuss booking daycare or single overnight stay(s).

Try to stick to dog’s usual schedule, with ample walk time. If boarding, the dog may need more time outside than usual. If they expel their energy on walks, they’re more likely to be content napping and not barking, especially when they’re in a strange environment with strangers (human/other animals). In advance of any housesitting bookings, meet the dog owner outside their home, see the lay of the land where their dog walks, and then when you go inside to see all the supplies that you would need for the dog, ask to see the areas where you would be permitted to be in or stay. By doing so, you can form a pretty reasonable opinion of if this is an environment you’re comfortable with.

It Is entirely possible to build a clientele of dogs who do not bark constantly, with exception to communicate something. And there are many dogs who are not aggressive & not biters. As for animal aggression, sometimes you can discover that during a meet and greet with probing in-depth questions about the dogs experience. I’d allot an hour for a thorough meet and greet, consisting of get-to-know-dog questions during a walk (ranging between10-30 min.) followed by n home probing detailed questions/ tour (ranging between 15-30 min). Investing a little more time upfront Can help prevent some unwelcome surprises from those who are not matched.

I have a problem at the beginning of this day. The dog has bitten me the second I went to the Door I told them, and they took off on a five hour plane trip. They had issues with their past sitter who had no experience of dogs, but they said the dog did not bite, but the dog bit me the second I opened the door and they use some kind of noise that makes a hissing sound, and I’m wondering what kind of deterrent to get the dog out of this mindset that I could do? I know that I am not covered by any assistance at all. I have my own insurance obviously but I don’t want to use it on this instance, so what is a good deterrent did not get bit does anybody know?
