I have a dog at my incall, 40lb mutt. He barks when the door gets knocked on and as soon as he sees me opening it he calms down and stops. He's potty trained and bathed and I clean up constantly so no bad smells or pet hair. But he is very hyper so I try to keep him completely away from clients because I don't want them to get jumped all over so I pretty much leave him in the crate but I have had a couple clients actually play with him LOL he loves new friends. But I've never had anyone not want to see me because of my dog.
