I was showing houses today to a buyer I have been working with for some time. We got to a house with showing instructions that read "Two friendly dogs inside, go show". We approached the door and heard the dogs barking. The buyer asked if it was really ok to go inside, I said yeah I am sure its ok. I told him I would go in first, once they were ok with me I would open the door so he could come inside. I went inside they sniffed me for a minute and everything was ok-- so far. I opened the door to let him in and one of the dogs ran outside. I freaked out! I was trying to get the dog but the dog ran because he didnt know me. I could tell the dog wanted back in but wouldnt come back because I was in the way, and my buyer was by the front door. I didnt know what to do. Finally the neighbor came over, he called for the dog and she came running back. Went right to the front door and back inside. I was relieved. I quickly thanked the neighbor and showed the house. I will be more careful next time opening doors with pets on the other side. After it was over, we got a good laugh out of it. I think my buyer liked seeing me freak out.
Thanks Aaron
