[quote=Anonymous]It’s fine to say that you don’t want anything in your house that negatively affects your child’s health and well-being. In this case, a dog that your child is allergic to, which would hurt your child. It could be smoking, gluten, guns, peanuts, etc. You can ask guests to take off their shoes so they don’t track in pesticides. Depending on the extent that they can relate to your requests, they may be understanding, or may roll their eyes and be amused/resentful, but regardless, you have every right to ask guests to respect your wishes, in your home, as a parent where it affects your child. The fact that you have a dog that your child is not allergic to isn’t relevant. The fact that the dog isn’t trained isn’t relevant, and I wouldn’t bring it into the discussion, because then they would think that they could bring the dog if it was trained, when the allergy issue seems to be the bigger problem.
