Im not a dog person. Quite new to window cleaning not been bit yet but i am careful.

One of my customers, who is out in the day, has a dog (Which i have just seen for the first time) at the side of the house on a long chain to his outside kennal. He looks nice enough but i dont trust dogs so will be phoning the customer before i clean the windows.

I had a tortoise chase me out of a garden once.
   I only just made it out in time.

Years back a German Shepherd tried to have a go at me when i entered a garden i just chucked my ladder on top of it 1 - 0 to the window cleaner. that dog certainly got the gist of health & safety while  working with ladders.

Had a big fat ugly female english mastiff bite me the other month. Got me on the leg. Customers knew the time i would be there as it was pre arranged because of the dog. Her half soaked husband thought she would be alright and as i walked through the gate, she got me.

Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

ex customer had 5 rotties, i love rotties.
4 of em were always in the garage and i never saw them
but the one in the house hated me, a proper guard dog!
she always said he was the friendliest.
one summers day i was going down the side, with ladders on shoulder, " come in love" as i opened the gate "ive tied him up you'll be ok"
in i goes
hears this 'snap'. she'd only tied him up with washing line.
he got a proper hold of my arm and started shaking its head,
thing is i saw him coming but i was stuck down this side alley.
she was giving it a right kicking and screaming at it to let go.
put a right gash in my arm, blood all over.
husband came back and said "lucky it wern't one of 'tothers mate, they'd of killed ya"
i dropped the whole cul de sac because of that. wern't going there again.

i have a really nasty dog on my round, it's somthing crossed with a mastif about the size of a great dane, real evil sod, i ring the owner from the road and she has to put it in the garage every time i do the windows. she said it's the noise of the ladders that sends him loopy :(

dont know weather this is true or just me thinking it but i used wooden ladders
 for a while and dogs dont go off on one like with alloys; but lets face it some dogs
 just have a taste for flesh.
