Dog Training Advice For Training Your Best Friend
Recommended Answer:
I think she realizes her dog is a handful.
I still think the trade is on.
That was the deal. Hold her to it.
When you go away, bring her a token gift from the place you traveled to.
I used to have the same arrangement with my neighbor, but we let the dogs stay in their own house and did visits 4 times a day.
Why it's Important For New Dog Owners to Take Dog Training Seriously
- Not trying to take away from your frustration but at least she paid you. My so called friend pulled a stunt like that on me, except she never paid, never offered and never watched my dogs. When it was my turn to go away for a weekend she was sick and the avoided calling for about 2 months.
- It sounds like she was just being very greatful that you agreed to look after her obviously annoying dog on the spur of the moment. After all, her dog did pee all over your house and you really should be in line for some compensation. (I had to replace the carpet in my house after keeping my sister's dog once.) When you get ready to travel yourself ask her if she can keep your dog as the deal stated and get her something equally nice in return. I'm not sure how much dog sitters get paid, but it can't be much more than she spent on gifts for you.
- Screw he ***** next door, keep your gifts and start saving a little money for a proper dog minding place or kennel sitting. The dog you know will be treated properly in such a place and can have a small holiday as well. Kennels are not as expensive as people think, do some research make some calls and get some quotes. You don't wont to leave your dog with somebody that's going to be cranky at you and taking it out on your dog. You will know exactly what your dog is doing in proper care and it will have the time of its life. Hope that's a little helpful. Sometimes its not the est to take a cheaper way out.
- well my friend does it too I watched her not house broke baby first for 4 day when she went to TX and she brought gifts and I also watched her dog when she and her Hubby went' to Mexico for 10 day she brought a lot of gifts for my whole family well any way we heave a agreement where she said she would watch my dog whenever I needed to leave the town , but I'm one of those people that only goes to a place where they accept dogs. well any way I think that you need to keep the agreement she is maybe feeling just guilty for leaving the dog with you on such a short notice , and that's why she brought all the gifts for you guys . so when the time comes just go over and ask her if she could watch your dog when you guys leave , and go from there if she says yes just make sure to remember to bring gifts for her .
- It sounds like she was genuinely appreciative of you doing this at the last minute and wanted to show it by ALSO gettng you those gift certificates. I think you should THANK her for them and ask her how much notice she will need for the dog sitting (maybe she can dog sit for a day or two while you are in the hospital with the new baby). I don't think she is trying to get out of the dog sitting.
- I would think she knows how crazy her dog is and wanted to pay you a little something for your trouble. Why was she getting a dog sitter anyways if you guys have a open trade??
If you ever need her I would ask her a few weeks before your trip and see how she takes it! if she sounds weird about it- I would sign up for another pet sitter. if she DOES keep your pup I would get her a LITTLE something- Nothing over $50. - I think she was just great full you watched her dog at the last second and wanted to do something nice for you. Since she said she would still watch your dog I'd go ahead and ask when you go away. I prefer my pets to stay at someone's house myself, then I know they are getting attention and not in a cage the whole time I'm gone and alone all night. It would be nice if you could bring her back something from your trip as a thank you.
- i just think she was thanking u on such last min thing. if u hadn't watched her dog she may have had to cancel or pay alot to a kennel to board which would be more than what she gave u in gifts.... besides puppy sitting is a lot of work and u got a 'bun in the oven'. and yes u should get her a little gift for watching ur dog when u take a trip.....wish i had nice nieghbors....
oh and congrats! - Your neighbor sounds like a sweet, caring, and giving person.
It seems like she brought you gifts because she was grateful that you took good care of her pet, and not that she wasnt wanting to watch your dog. I am sure she didnt think about it the whole time while on vacation.
Can you imagine her going around trying to shop for a gift for you thinking the whole time "Is this gift good enough so I can get out of watching the neighbors dog"????????
I dont think so. She will still watch your dog and now its your turn to get her a gift to show her how grateful you are. And dont worry about the price of the gift, you should find a cool unique one that she will love!!!
And maybe you could invite her, and her dog over for a Bar-B-Que, and whos knows, maybe you, and your dog both have made a friend for life.
And if not a close friend, then a nice reliable, close to home, in-home pet sitter.
We could all be so lucky! Whe I go out of town, its like pulling teeth to get anyone I know, (including family members, whos dogs I have sat for), to watch my animlas. I dont mind boarding my dogs, but I cant board, chickens, cats and Horses. But whoever does watch them, usually my cousins kids, or a neighbor kid, I always try to either pay them, cook a kick^%$ meal for them, or bring them a gift.
P.S. Just a hint here, but her thinking of getting you a gift for your new baby alone, was totally awesome. She must like you to remember that you were pregnant. She knew that her gift would be well used and appreciated. She sounds so kind, wish my neighbos were like that. LOL
