answered a question Why does my dog bark when my boyfriend gives me a hug or kiss?

Its usually a territorial thing. Your dog is trying to protect you. I would try to curb this behavior before it escalates.

answered a question Anyone ever had to ask an owner to return?

I would definitely try to stick it out and stay in close contact with the owner. I love Laura's suggestion of playing "Watch the World" with the dog where you treat them any time they look at another dog (even briefly) without a negative reaction. For this stay I would avoid walks except for early am and late pm (when other dogs aren't being walked) or invest in dog puzzles and food feeding toys. It stimulates their mind to keep them busy and get rid of some of the energy when they can't be out on their regular walks.
