Would this be a deterrent when booking?

Aww a Christmas puppy is the best!

My goodness, all this good talk about pugs! Luckily I loooove having my ass licked.. not by a dog but I can think of a few people I would love to have it done by. I'd train my pug not to lick assholes before I took it with me on the road... god knows I don't need that in a review!

as long as the pup can take hearing you scream with pleasure in am good with it

They can be great when traveling with you.Company while you are traveling and between down time.The only negative I have seen is when they like your guest.Sometimes they like the attention from guest and may get a little hyper.The guest leave but you have a hyper pup.

Hey guys and ladies!! I have been thinking about getting a pup for the last year or so but since I travel so much it would be coming with me. A girl gets lonely out here and who says a dog can't be a ladies best friend too? So guys, what do you think about a very well trained dog staying in a cage/ bathroom during the appointment? If it didn't bark or shed what would be the concern?

Also, it wouldn't be a very big dog.Like 10 pounds max so nothing too scary! Would you guys just want to know ahead of the time?

BUT, I will warn you of a few things. Dogs are like humans. Each dog has a different personality and different feelings. Some are easy to train and some are just hard headed.

Crate train the dog. Helps with potty training. Also helps with separation anxiety and jealousy issues. You don't want the dog in his crate watching momma have some "fun" and be jealous. If he is, he will whine and moan. He will also wanna get in on the fun.

NEVER let the puppy sleep in bed with you!

If you are looking to get a small dog, look for a mutt. They tend to have fewer aggression issues.

Feel free to PM me.

Stick I like the one in your avatar....lab right?

Tanner the shitzus are cute pups!!

I had a client in Albuquerque come see me....he asks me if he can bring his dog in cause it was cold out.I looked at his little bitty car & said sure{had to be a small dog!}....he proceeds to bring in a big ugly German Shepard! When we started making alot of noise,that dog started jumping on the bed growling......THAT is the ONLY time I kicked a guy out of my bed....lol!

This doesn't mean you have to be a meanie. Give the pup rules and limits on what they can and can't do. If not they will develop "small dog syndrome". They will growl, bite, guard you, snap and develop separation anxiety if they aren't constantly reminded who the boss is.

Personally, I'm not bothered by a provider's pet as long as it disappears once the action starts.
