[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have your husband take off work the first day or two to help transition the dog in and work on a schedule with the dog. [/quote]

This is a good idea. If he is unwilling to do this, ask him why he's signing you up for it. Is he in the habit of unilaterally assigning you work?

Agree. He gets first and last walks of the day and all house accidents when he’s home (unless kids are old enough to help). You get stuck with work hours. [/quote]

He's gone by 7:30a and home at 6:30p but then continues working for a couple hours after he gets home.  Are first and last walks feasible for him?[/quote]

Yes, absolutely. First walk of the day for my dog is 6-7 am. He gets up earlier and builds that into his day. And the night-time walk (short) is around 9 or 10 pm. OP, I hear you saying that this is touchy for him but this is the BARE MINIMUM that the guy who signed you up (without your agreement!) for weeks of all-day dog care should be doing.

If he cannot or will not, then the answer is that you should absolutely never get a dog and need to draw a line in the sand with him that you won't dog-sit for this dog again. [/quote]
