Ok, so I turn up at a customers house yesterday. I get to the side of the house and am met by next doors massive rotty barking and growling at me by the low fence I need to work up against.
So I knock on the next doors house and politely ask if they can get the dog in as I need to work next to he fence and the dog is growling and barking at me.
Well the guy flipped on me, came right up to me and I thought he was going to try to lamp me one. He said the dog harmless and doesn't bark ever.
I tried to explain that the dog was, but he got more and more wound up. He went round the back and found me standing there and the dog barking, growling and shaking the fence. He shouted the dog abdu never saw them again.
When the customer who's windows I was cleaning came out, I explained what had happened. He said he is harmless and he has never heard it bark. He did understand why I asked next door and said he would have a word.
I'm not a girl thingy cat, I have a German sheperd that can bark, but unless I have been introduced to a dog with the owner there, there is no chance I'm risking it !
