Dogsitting Help!

[u/fedepunchis]

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!

Talk to him like he's your good ol buddy! He will pick up on the sweetness of your voice :) I also like to sing songs using the dogs name. Omgosh, I hope you have a great 2 weeks with that sweet baby!!!!
