When we leave Gus with a sitter, they're handed several (!) pages of instructions, what if's, vet info, etc... It's better to be safe than sorry.<br /><br />We're hopping by from the blog hop.

We leave them instructions, which are never followed, and then I have to deal with the consequences when I get back.<br /><br />The instructions are really, really simple:<br /><br />1. Don't feed him any people food. (They have so far fed him chicken soup, macadamia nuts, AND grapes. The latter two are potentially toxic to dogs.)<br /><br />2. Pick up his water dish after his last trip outside for the night, or he won't be able to "hold it" overnight. (They did not. He peed on their floor while they were sleeping.)<br /><br />3. When you're walking him and he starts to pull, stop dead in your tracks and say "easy". Don't move forward unless the leash is loose. (They heard this as "when he pulls, run along behind him so he learns that pulling gets him where he wants to go and AJ can start training all over again.")<br /><br />and finally,<br /><br />4. Don't play rough with him. He gets overexcited and forgets about bite inhibition, and will come back and try to herd The Monkey (who is 6). When we returned, The Mister's dad had scratches all over his arms from roughhousing with Jack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629484673431010865.post-82273943570229092011-04-14T13:01:02.116-04:002011-04-14T13:01:02.116-04:00I totally leave a long list for sitters too. :) N...I totally leave a long list for sitters too. :) No worries. :)Rosemary Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619836287688521820noreply@blogger.com
