Cheers Quad & Gina

Play time can only be arranged at other places

To give myself some peace & to allow myself to have fun when I take him with me to see friends or visit family, I invested in belly bands. I think if that person had come over to my house, the 1st time he peed, I would have asked her if she had a belly band & if not, I would have slapped one of mine on him, and he would have worn it until he left. (I use a feminine napkin inside it to protect the band itself from the pee).
If MY dog pees in MY house, that is MY problem. If YOUR dog pees in my house, I have an issue. Especially if you don't stop immediately, whip out your bottle of nature's miracle that you MUST carry if you know your dog has bad manners, and clean up the mess.

Belly bands! Good idea! I might look into that! Thanks

I WAS MORTIFIED!!!! But there's no way in this world that I would have just left it all to them.....I cleaned up the drips on the floor.....scooped Harry and the coat up....took Harry home.....took the coat to the cleaners.....and didn't 'socialise' Harry in that way again until I was totally sure he was completely house-trained. Oh dear, some people.... Sally + Harry x

We bring Simba to my bf's parents often and we watch him like a hawk all the time. His parents sometimes would tell us to relax and there's nothing he can destroy. Cause I know how much I hate other dog just uses my house as bathroom, I just have to watch watch and watch Simba when he's at other people's house and clean up right away if anything happened.

I wouldn't just sit there and let it pee on someone's floor, I'd clap at it or say NONO!!, watch it like a hawk and take it out as soon as the nose hits the floor lol. Best to get the potty training down before taking pup into a strange house, it might think rules at home don't apply.

I had to pick up her pup and she looked like she's just gonna let her pup finish his business! What totally aggravated my . I feel if the owner is at least showing that she's trying to stop and clean up that would still be acceptable with me. Every pup makes accidents...

I am sure he was nervous from 3.5 hour car ride as my boys don't do well in the car. I was mortified....BUT, I cleaned it up. I brought diapers and belly bands with me and the boys have to wear them....especially my younger one!! It doesn't prevent the poo, but it helps with the pee.

.
I can't imagine leaving my dogs mess on someones floor for them to take care of...I can't imagine expecting someone else to clean up my dogs mess. I get just as mad when other dogs crap in my yard. If I carry around poop bags and clean up my dogs crap out of their yard, I feel they should give me the same respect.



Geesh....don't you wonder a little what your friends house must look/smell like??

If she doesn't clean up the pee at your house, I wonder if she does it at hers?!? I've been to houses of people who just let their animals poop and pee everywhere and your eyes start to water when you get within 5 feet of their door...yuck!!

There's one episode in Dog Whisper that an artists Bichon (I think) peed his white area rug into a piece of "art" and the artist was very Okay with that... yeeek.....

I would definitely right the wrong and apologize profusely, and at the very least, address the issue. I wonder what she would do if the tables were turned?? Not that I'm suggesting that you do that, just saying. If you aren't so keen on the owner, and who could blame you if you aren't, I would nip it in the butt now before this person puts you in any more situations. I really dislike it when people take advantage of nice people like you!! I understand that this may be difficult thing for you to address, as you are accommodating, but do you really want/need to be at her next whim and beckon call?? I heard a quote once and it has come to mind in more than one situation, - "You can't change stupid". Perhaps it fits here?? All the best with this woman and the situation she has put you and yBF in.

Thanks for the kind words. We just need the owner to show that she/he is making effort to stop her/his dog peeing in other people's house. I have another friend coming next week with her teacup poodle. We'll see how that goes.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support!
I'm having another friend coming over with her teacup poodle and I think (hope) there are still more respectful parents than those rude ones
Brian's mommy recently complained to me that her friends didn't want her to bring Brian to their party (I'm not alone ), but I don't think she figured out why yet...
Good parents educate good pups

Wishing you a better visit. A teacup poodle - that should be a cutie for sure. Happy visiting.
