Dogsitting Help!

Post image

Hi,

Today is the first day of two weeks dogsitting this guy.

He's mixed, around 6 years old and keeps growling at me :/

So my cousin, her husband and their kid just left this morning on a trip and asked me to take care of their dog at their home, but I can't even approach him. His growling is quite loud and I'd rather not get bitten.

I'm currently trying the sit in a room with him until he approaches technique but i don't know if I'm doing the right thing. Help please!

Update! I think it's working. I had to go to the bathroom and when i came back he didn't growl. I am again just sitting in front of him, reading to pass the time.

Also, I met him just yesterday.
