My new landlord to my house lives in the front house on poperty.
Explain: In Galveston TX most people build 2 houses on one lot our house is the second house on our land lords lot.
So she lives on site we have our own back yard and front yard is shared between us. My front is her backyard.

Question my landlord is the time of person that will want to interect with my dog which is no problem with me but how do I teach them they have to respect her as they do us?

And what is the best way to handle them with her. I want them to respect her now there is never be any interection between them with me there. As hubby is not that good at watching the dogs.
Any advice would be great.
I want everyone to live in harmony she cant have dogs do to her sheduale at work she is a doctor. Though she loves them.
So i dont mind interaction as long as I am there and all of my dogs are inside dogs it is to hot in texas so that is not a issue either.

Thanks in advance

This thread going on now might have some useful info. Not the same situation, but most of the info could apply.

Stephanie,

I had a little trouble understanding your post, but from what I understand you might want to consider keeping your landlord's status with the dogs as "guest", meaning interacting is only allowed in your presence, and the dogs have no viewpoint as to her place or relationship within the 'pack'.

I'm sure your landlord is a really nice person, but in my experiences as a renter, it's best to not get too attached, dependent, or close to your landlord; keep it as a business relationship, not a personal one. You never know when some small thing will cause a rift, and if that small thing has to do with a pet, costs/charges can multiply rapidly. Everyone has good intentions, but it's probably better to be safe rather than sorry.

You may want to also clarify in writing (agreed upon and signed by both parties) her access to your house in the case of maintenance, etc. If the dogs are loose and no-one is home, they may not take her entry positively regardless of their previous actions in her presence.

If in a year you decide to resign, and you've built up some history with this person you may want to change how you handle the dogs with her, but for now I'd stick with uber-cautious.

Just my opinions- so take them for what they're worth

Good advice, Carolyn. I agree!

I do not see the issue if you are present. Is'nt it like any other person they encounter? If the dogs have "issues" make sure the landlord knows how to appropriately interact.

Thanks guys yes it is a bussiness relationship.
She does not enter the poperty unless I am there.
Thats in the lease because of the dogs.

She just likes my gang of 3. I willtake the advice of this and the other thread.

She will be a guest for a few months then see where is goes we have been in this situation once before. But it was family so it caused bigger problems.

They will see her as a guest. And thats it
