Had a job tonight where their Yorkshire Terrier didn't like men for some reason. While walking through the living room the little sod bit at the back of my leg! I asked the custy to keep her dog under cotrol due to the fact that there was a lot of equipment around. Half an hour later and the b....... got me again, "I'll boot that little ---- to kingdom Come if it bites me once more!" I think she heard me too.... this isn't the first time I've had problems with a custys dog!!!

Probably smell your dog on you, I was once bitten by a yorkshire terrier as I was going to my customers house next door to where the dog was, I had to have a jab so I billed the householder £80 as loss of earnings as I had to go to hospital ( Dr's surgery got me in straight away 5 mins from my house) and he paid it, well I did word it as I would take it further.

I've just come back from pricing up a house with 3 dogs in it.... Every one was spot on actually but the customer noticed I seemed to be a bit edgy.... I told her the story and she said I should have kicked it's a**e! ;D ;D ;D

Never had a dog bite me whilst carpet cleaning, but have had a couple of dogs latch hold of my leg and take out there frustration on it. A bit embarassing when trying to present a professional quotation.

If a dog tries to hump my leg, I just do what the wife does and fake an orgasm ;D ;D ;D

the only time i have had trouble with a dog is this and this will make you laugh if you can imagine the picture
Finished cleaning the carpets in two bed semi and the dog was shut out side as the the customer and i were looking at the the finished work dog got in and sat right behind my machine all packed up ready to go in the van. trouble is it was a st bernard and you try moving one when it does not want too. so after half an hour of asking it politely to move i resorted to getting my sandwiches at the van dog moved but i then was hungry for the rest of the day

Good one :) ;D

As someone who has a rather large pet (picture to the left) I do have a dislike for small snappy mutts.
We do window cleaning too and at one large property the old lady had a carer who brought her snappy terrier thing with her.
Now it was fine with women but had a dislike of men, which was a pain as it was insides and outs every month.
Now this horrid creature would jump up and try and get your hands (it wasn't bothered about feet, legs etc), the time came where my hand dropped low enough for it to jump and bite me. Cleaned off the blood, put a plaster on, collected the cheque and left, thinking next time dog.
The next time this creature followed me around jumping up trying to get the hand again. I waited till we were out of sight down one of the long hallways and promptly got my foot under the dog and launched it into the air and a good 15 feet down the hallway.
Granted it got the message at that point by running off and so did I because we've not been back there since. Personally I don't blame the dog I blame the owner.

I can beat all of you ( well not me personally )
A few years ago a carpet cleaner friend of mine was cleaning in a home for people with mental problems.
As it was a secure unit he had to bring in everything he would need before he could start.
He was happily cleaning away, turned round and saw one of the " residents "
peeing all over his kit ;D
He did not find it funny at the time but when he told me I nearly wet my trousers.

Fenman ;D ;D ;D

Many many years ago whilst cleaning some carpets there was a jack russell that would not stop chasing the floor wand as we were cleaning and biting the end of the pump sprayer so my colleague did what he had to do. Yes he pumped the little bugger full of prespray
The dog then dissapeared into the kitchen and promptly brought the lot up on the carpet tiles, and yes we did charge for cleaning them as an extra

Could see you being landed with a vet bill if things had gone wrong!

4 years or so ago I was cleaning a customers' carpet. The said customers were two sisters in their 20's ;)who lived together. The sisters had a little kitten and they told me under no circumstances to leave the patio doors open as the kitten would try to escape and the occupants of the end terrace owned a rottweiller (sp).
Well what did I do as I was unloading my gear......!! I started to clean and out of the corner of my eye I seen a damn big rotty with the kitten in its mouth trotting past the patio doors.
It was kinda bouncing like it was proud of itself (U know like the dogs in Cruffs) with the wee kitten dangling limply in its mouth :o.
Anyways, I ran out the doors like an idiot and kicked the dog as hard as I could in the backside. It dropped the cat and slowly turned on me bearing it's teeth (scary sight i kid u not).
I grabbed the stunned cat and ran like damn for the patio doors with the sisters screaming, my belly bouncing, the dog chasing me and the cat scratching the arm of me!! It must've looked like something from Benny Hill.
I Slammed the patio doors shut just as the dog approached and flung the kitten on the sofa.
The sisters were in hysterics and the can immediately ran upstairs.
Believe it or not i finished the job in a world of my own with the sisters thanking me in one breath and berating me in another for leaving the doors open.
Any way I called the next day and the kitten had suffered some bite marks to the neck but thankfully was on the mend though had become very nervous!!
needless to say i never heard from the sisters again. :-[ Was kinda hoping I would've been their hero ;)

Many, many years ago I was a trainee scaffolder and a cocky sod.
I was training with a tough older scaffolder known as big Ron and one day we had to put some up round the back of a pub.
When we pulled up I was kicked out of the lorry to reccy the job while big Ron had a fAg.
I opened the gate to the pub yard and saw big piles of dog sh*t.
Being green my only concern was the risk of treading in it so I shouted to big Ron to come and have a look.
Big Ron walked through the gate just as the biggest German Shepherd you have ever seen appeared.
I ran for the gate but big Ron suddenly turned into Linford Christie and sprinted through the gate and closed it behind him :o
I knew that I would not get to the gate and open it before the dog got me so I was screaming like a girl as ran for it.
Luckily for me the landlord realised what was happening and called the dog off just as it was about to sink its teeth into me.
Big Ron thought this was all hilarious and nearly p****d himself but I had gone from jack the lad to Minnie mouse in about 2 seconds flat.

Sod that I would have let the dog eat the cat, at leat it would save their carpets from the pee smell.
