I’ve always considered agreeing to close a small loan package for a set fee then reciving a 200+ page loan hours before a signing as being bitten by an animal.
If I hear a dog, I will always ask if the clients can either put the animal in a kennel or if not I will ask to meet them else where. No exceptions.
If a dog put into another room won’t stop barking I’ve told owners if it doesn’t bite just let it out. I find the barking more disruptive than the demand for attention. I’ll pet a dog and then say go lay down. And the owner will take a cue and say go lay down. I can’t stand a dog barking like crazy in another room. But I don’t have problems with dogs usually.
All dogs, not just pit bulls, have jaws that can clamp down on prey.
OMG! This is terrible. I soooo sorry this happened to you. I usually ask if they could kindly put the dogs away until we finish the signing to ensure we are not distracted and ensure the signing goes as smoothly as possible.
Thats good; we have to have some boundaries.
