To think you should warn people you have XL Bullies in your house before they come over?

I posted not long ago about going to a home salon and how much it stank of dogs and she told me she had 5 or 6 dogs.

I’ve since found out she actually owns 4 XL Bullies and she never once told me booking the appointment.

Aibu to think that’s just wrong? The salon is just a room in her house. Now I’m not terrified of dogs but yes I would feel extremely intimidated had I been in a small room with 4 of them.

I wouldn't be back TBH.

I wonder what the law says about this? They need to be muzzled in public and this is her home, but by making it a place of work I would assume there are extra legal responsibilities?

Im wondering the same. I wonder if she has any kind of liability insurance?

I'd warn any visitor of any pet. Allergies are so common, it's basic good manners to give people some advance warning.

Really I am so glad I no longer make home visits in deprived areas (or any areas) - I know it's a stereotype but the fear of being attacked was often there, now I wouldn't want to enter someone's house.

I would specifically ask if I was going to someone’s home, I don’t like any type of dog or cat so would actively avoid them

marmaladeandpeanutbutter · 23/05/2024 17:41

Agreed, OP.

A door could accidentally be left open. There is no way on earth I’d be going there again once I found that out

Exactly that. Its just an ordinary door between the salon room and the rest of the house.

Plus she’s one woman, IF the worst was to happen to someone she’s not going to be able to control 4 dogs.

Yeah I wouldn't be willing to risk being in a house with four of them.

LlynTegid · 23/05/2024 17:39

I'd cancel straight away and say why.

Indeed I might even seek to ask the police if they had been registered.

Totally not ok. Supposedly ‘secured’ XL Bullies kill.

You weren't in a room with any of them then?

albertoross · 23/05/2024 17:35

Presumably the dogs are kept well away?

TheChosenTwo · 23/05/2024 17:32

Are they kept away from where she does hair? Or are they able to wander freely?
