Your probably right Deanna, I have an arrangement with my nieghbor to babysit her GSD and Rottie when she goes to the beach and she does the same for my two GSD's. I suggested that because bad habits are hard to break.
John, I agree I'd be irritated. 2 of my dogs that I've had since they were puppies have never been taking care of by anyone but me. The 3rd I got when she was a little over a year and a half and she spent a lot of time kenneled with other ppd's around her. The only time they have been away from me is when my grandfather died and I left them at the vet for a week. I had worked there for 5 years and trusted them but left instructions for each dog that I'm confident they followed. I know they had their hands full taking them out (for playtime and bathroom breaks) because they don't listen to anybody but me and that's the way I like it.

I won't even go on vacation with my family because I don't wanna leave my dogs. I would take them but all three of them together would be a handful.
I am closing this thread - a three month old pup is not being dominate aggressive to what he sees as an adult on a couch. I can say that I have had employees who no matter how hard they try my dogs do not respect them - they toss them around - these people just do not have the presence to cause the dogs to give them one oz of respect.
Bottom line is - pick a better dog sitter but with this said Deanna is right - it could be worse - it could be someone who is carrying a big club and dominating the dog.
