I had a customer let her dog out whilst I was cleaning her windows. The dog came at me showing it's teeth so I hooked my WFP brush head under it's neck and pinned it against the housewall with all of it's paws lifted off the ground. The owner saw me and I told her to get the lead on it before I was going to release her dog. She dumped me (naturally) but I was determined the bloody dog wasn't going to bite me. I act first and worry about the consequences after nowadays. I don't do dog houses nowadays!
Losing a customer is like waiting for the next bus, another one will come along shortly!

I'm very picky about cleaning at houses where there are dogs.  I only do it if I feel totally comfortable about it.  I've had jobs before where I have started worrying about doing it days before I am due there.  When that happens, I know it's time to let the job go.
I did get nipped once by a tiny dog.  It nipped me on the shin as I doubt it could reach any higher.  It died a few months later.  Was nothing to do with me, honest guv.  Another time I had a dog charge straight at me while barking loudly.  I yelled at it really loudly as it got close.  It bit the flapping trouser leg on my overalls and did a hasty retreat (probably thought I was nuts).
I put my tools in the bucket and walked - after calling the owner a few choice things.

Oh I've just remembered; I've actually been bitten three times; two as I detailed in an earlier thread and a third time a Jack Russell grabbed my hand when I put a 'Your Window Cleaning has been' chit through the door.

We did tug-of-war with my 'Saturday Night Finger' for a second or two and the little blighter drew blood and it hurt like hell.

I've been really unlucky!
