asked a question Working with an aggressive dog after owner leaves?

Hi there.

I've never had this happen before and wanted to know if anyone else has any advice. I am petting 2 dogs for 4 days- one is over 150lbs (VERY VERY large dog) and a Lab mix. The first day I was there, they were okay. But this morning, when I tried to leave, he blocked the door and started growling. I tried to go through the garage and he pushed past me and growled the entire time. I had to put more food in his bowl and sneak out. I let the owner know but they are out of the country. What should I do? The dog outweighs me by a good 60lbs and I've never been one to be freaked out by any animal, but this one scared me.

Any advice?

Thanks! Tiffany
