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 !

many dogs are very good dogs - they dont bark ever - except on this occasion and ive found it too - you are a stranger to them, and look very suspicious to them.

Normally i dont bother talking to the dogs owners - because people can take offence very easily - i just get on with it, and the dog can bark all it likes..

Seen plenty - dobermans, staffs, rotties, german sheps etc

Ive actually jumped in a garden not realising a doberman lived there.. nearly licked me to death..LOL

tbh, its the ankle biters you need to worry about little so & so's.

I've found that in the past dogs can be fine with you all the time the owner is around, but then turn funny if no one is in and you turn up in the garden.

I've had to keep one eye on what I'm doing and one eye on a dog quite a few times

Got a couple of bite marks from dogs that "Never bite and are good as gold". You're right though, the small ones are the worst

[daz1977]

u did the right thing,  how many stories do you read in papers of harmless dogs attaching people

[Niall McAllister]

when i worked for the post office, dogs would go for you and the response," he's never done that before, you must have antagonized him"
 or
 "he doesn't bite"
yes, but does he know that?

I once packed a job in because of the neighbour's dog.  When stood upright, it's head would come over the fence and the way it was behaving I reckoned it might rip my head off.  No-one was in.  I had already cleaned the front.  I just packed up and drove off, never to be seen again.

We just squirt them with water, most of them run off, apart from a yorkshire terrier puppy, that kept attacking the brush, no matter how wet it got, don't think it had ever had so much fun.
 Another dog comes up and drops a stick and barks at you until you throw the stick for it to run after. These are very highly trained guard dogs, they don't attack you, they just keep you occupied until the police arrive.
