[quote=Anonymous]I have a dog that can’t be trusted around guests. When people come to visit, the dog is on a leash, in its crate, or in the fenced yard. We also spend a lot of time outside of the house being tourists and dining out. It works for us only because the dog is already crate trained and we’ve tried this set-up with in-town visitors. However, the management of it all does get a bit tiring over two days. OP, you know your family best. If they are likely to give up on the active management, or this visit is a longer one, then you may have to sit it out. Also, if it was a bite, that needs to be taken very seriously. Usually even a bit that does not break the skin leaves telltale marks. A dog that bites must go through remedial training with an experienced behaviorist, or it gets reinforcement for the biting behavior. In the dog’s brain, biting is an effective strategy.[/quote]
