How many rules do you have for dogs you watch, and how strict are you with them?
So I have on my profile that I will only take kennel trained dogs and that for longer stays I would strongly prefer for them to come with their own kennel. Hey I still have people asking me if I'll take their dog who isn't kennel trained. The reason I ask for this is because if I need to go to work or leave the house for an hour or two I don't feel comfortable leaving a dog out in my house who's unfamiliar with everything. Is this unreasonable? And how much of a stickler should I be over this? I've lost two or three clients already because of this. In my opinion it's just asking for a bathroom accident, as I've noticed that a lot of dogs who are in unfamiliar areas tend to have accidents. And when dogs do have kennels from home they gladly curl up in them for some downtime when they're overwhelmed.
