Dogs

[CJ]

I'm not talking owning a dog, but working in a customers house who have dog/dogs.

Job I'm on at the moment........downstairs bathroom (nice, no stairs :smilewinkgrin🙂

Thing is, they have a Rottweiler which is the size of a shetland pony......but with big, BIG teeth.

Started off on Monday with the women blocking the dog in another room whilst I bought in my gear.......which set the old bum humming straight away........she then proceeds to tell me that she (the big Rotti) did'nt like the plasterer one little bit (bum humming again)

Then she says, lets see if she is ok with you :yikes::yikes: (playing tunes now)
When a shetland pony sized dog comes up to you, with no tail wagging or at least looking like they are not gonna rip ya leg off just for the fun of it, it tends to make you worry a bit..........wots the saying, "they can smell fear" I'm not surprised when its running down the back of ya legs.

Anyway......sweet little "Maisy" had a little sniff, then tried to jump up for a play. Jeezzzzzz all 12 stone of her. After I had been scrapped off the floor and Maisey wandered off with the thought, "he's no fun" I thought I would make a start.

Shat myself everytime I had to pop out to the van, Maisy giving me the beady eye everytime I walked past.......but at least she seemed to be not bothered about me.

Set up my cutter in the garden......in between the shetland ponies left over tradesmen before me....never knew a dog could do such big poo's....and lots of them.

Job going ok so far.........maisy did take a dislike to my bag of addy in the garden........and proceeded to pee over it........but I was'nt gonna stop her.

Today she decided I WAS a good time plaything, and decided she did'nt like my right foot........everytime I tried walking back into the house she pounced on my foot, and gripped it a wee bit painfully in her mouth..............."Oh she likes you" the owner said......"she's playing" as her teeth scratched my bone.......thank 🙁 for the next door neighbours cat turning up........I wonder how long that fence panel will last :dizzy2:

On well.........there's always tomorrow :yikes::smilewinkgrin:

Know what you mean about Rotties, my mate had one. One evening at his house i was sat on carpet chatting, dog came up to me so I started stroking it, its head was level with my face. As I had been familiar with dog for a long time I saw no problem.
That is until I tickled under it's chin...
I heard an almighty growl and snarl and its jaws came towards my face. At that point my mate shouted at the dog and it stopped inches away from ripping my face off. He told me afterwards that she did no like that part of her chin being touched. Idiot should have told me before :incazzato:
Since then I have had a mortal fear of Rottweilers ! In my mind they are devil dogs

Just remember CJ if the dog gets on yer nerves a swift kick in the goolies helps but just make sure your fit enough to reach your van just in case you missed that sensitive area:lol:

All dogs work on the 'pack' basis, so you have to show her you're the Alpha male!, you're the top dog! Tommorow you walk straight in there bold as brass unzip the old trousers and start marking out you're territory in every room, this works on many different levels another being once the owner finds the offending wet patches she'll boot the dog in to next week and the garden, then Masiey will know you're not to be messed with

We've got a dog, so I immediately adopt the 'alpha male' status to any dogs if I think they're going to be trouble.

I've never come across a rotti at a customer's house, but I have come across some large alsations. One in particular used to be quite agressive, but got used to me.

The customer's right, the dog is just being playful, but it's forgotten it's no longer a puppy, and the owner is deficent in not bringing that to its attention.

If it's a hazard, you should ask the owner to keep it away from you. After all, you've got to earn and if it injures you and you're off work, is she going to compensate you?

A mate of mine had a rotti / lab cross. I had been staying with them for the weekend, but on the Sunday after sitting with them & it for a couple of hours, I went upstairs to the loo. As I came back into the room it jumped at me to protect its owners....needed the loo again very fast!
