I would so love to have an answer to this question ! Surely others have been in the same type of situation . I am asked to dine with friends , at their home, that have a standard poodle that is both smart and out of control . This dog is over a year old , well maintained and completely mishandled. It's allowed to steal food from the table as we eat , is treated as the center of attention and rarely , lightly and only verbally admonished for it's antics. I've refused several invitations in a row , which is beginning to be a problem for my husband , as his relationship with them is long standing - through several dogs, actually . Is there something I can spray on my clothing to keep this poor monster away from me ? It's grabbed at my clothing while my back was to it , when I turned and grabbed it's snout and told it no , firmly , it pulled away , growling , which brought the owner on the run . I'm guessing it's not the first time , or they wouldn't have moved with such dispatch. Trying to ignore it isn't working , they have no intention of correcting the way they " train" the love of their life .. and I have no desire to be around the dog , or befriend it . What options do I have to ease the strain ? Thanks to all ! ~S
