(70,131 posts)are you okay w dogs?
i have 1 big couch potato, and 1 goofball housebear.
goofball is mostly under my control, and dog lovers usually enjoy meeting him.
sometimes i have to make a bit of noise cuz he does love company. but he obeys.
the bully is the director of security, and you have to get past him to be alone w me, thank you very much. he has perfect manners, tho.
i do keep them out of the way when there is work happening.
i used to have a guy who worked for me that i had to yell at about playing w a dog.
120 goofball bully dog. a bundle of drive, but well trained. 1 word commands would have done it. but no. never even got it through his head that if he jumped, the word was off, and that down was something else.
wouldnt even use the simple hand signals.
but worse he let the dog get away w stuff i insisted he not encourage.
that dog got crated for HIS own good.
