Hey Daniela,

1. I brought him over to my folks place (only 2 blocks) so he could run around and explore their large dog friendly yard. He was more interested in being inside with the people.

2. The owner does not crate him however he made a mess while I was at work on Friday. He seemed to not like it the first time but has been slowly become accustomed (I have been home all day today and tomorrow as well but Mon and Tues I won't be). I think its more not being aloud to be free reign and do what he wants (he is a bit pushy that way)

3. I have thought of that and I hope for his owners sake that he isn't like that all the time! He has been a bit calmer today. I took away his toys and that seemed to help a bit. And his owner seemed more anxious to leave instead of chatting about her dogs history and needs.

4. I have only sent pictures thus far to his owner and she hasn't responded at all. Which makes me a bit sad and a bit worried but I am assuming she is not interested in her dog while I vacation. I at this have no idea what I am going to say to his owner when she gets here on Tuesday.

Thanks everyone so far for your responses and support I can't express how much I have appreciated the feedback

He came with marrow bones! But no automatic feeder so he will get one of those bones later if he keeps up what he has been doing for the last half hour which is just chilling (thank goodness)

he isn't supposed to do and he seems to be calming down a bit. As for the walking I totally thought the same thing that he needs a harness! My dog uses a gentle leader but obviously that won't for him. What I am doing right now is tying the leash around my waist and walking him stairs are just hard

at my folks house where she is very happy. for the mess he basically just got into the kitchen but has been making house training messes as well though I've been home for those. He will be in a kennel for now on he doesn't like it but it the more I put him in after he gets to hyper or does something

Hey Leighann So I took away his toy he was obsessive of and gave him his other 2 toys.. The difference is his favorite is a small crab which is hard to grab but the other 2 are longer stuffed animals that have been easier to manage. He seems to do a little bit better with these ones. My dog is now

Thanks Frances, I had no idea what I was getting into. I even asked all the right questions I don't the owner knows her dog at all... My dog is now staying with my folks and my cat is hiding high from the dog. The leash he has is a poor rope one I now have it around my waist and is easier to walk

Hi Everyone! I am struggling to take care of a bulldog who is in my care for the next 4 days. My dog who is super mellow and can handle almost anything has gotten already fed up with him because he is constantly in her face he has also been going after my cat and doesn't take the hint when other animals growl or hiss appropriately. He also wants to play but does keep away which I do not play but barks constantly if I don't play with one particular toy. He also doesn't like kennels but apparently he has made a mess at home because I did not kennel him this morning. I am at a loss of what to do with this dog and almost ready to call the owner and tell her that I can't keep him but I know for sure she is out of town. He is also supposed to be getting 3 to 4 walks a day but he pulls very hard I took him on one last night and the only way I was able to do it was by putting the leash around my waist and walking him that way which again is a struggle Any advice?
