[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad doesn't have a dog. He offered to dog sit for me when my dog sitter backed out last minute of dog sitting for my vacation. He had her for several weeks and he developed a bond with my dog. Now when I visit him, he looks forward to seeing my dog as much as me. You may be surprised op, the dog may not end up being a problem. My dog is a small breed and she's 5yo. She sleeps a lot, doesn't run off if she gets out without a leash and doesn't really get into stuff. Some dogs are just lazy and relaxed. Oh, and I have hardwood floors in most of my house and she's never scratched them with her nails. Dogs nails aren't extremely sharp, unless it's a puppy. [/quote]

This is my parents too. Our dog is crate trained and sleeps in a crate at their house (but not anymore at ours). He is really relaxed around them because he knows them, though I don't think that was the case the first time he stayed with them. We have a high energy golden retriever fwiw, but he is a total people pleaser too, so sucks up to people for approval. He is mature and can go a long time without being taken out if necessary. Doesn't care about the christmas tree, or anything not a dog toy or food. It really depends on the temperament of the specific dog though. Ours has been to lots of other peoples houses and is well trained. He is not at all aware of his tail though, and can wag things off a coffee table, etc. It's a bit like child proofing--no breakables at tail height. How laid back are you and your spouse? How much do you trust your sisters judgement about how the dog will behave?[/quote]
