Dogsitting for a friend this weekend..tips?

[Syringer]

I've never actually taken care of a dog before, but this guy is pretty chill and low maintenance..my only goal is to not kill him, and not have him poo/pee on our carpet.

I live in a condo in downtown SD, so I'd have to take him outside to do his business.

The feeding part should be easy, but I've never understood when you know you need to take him outside, and where outside you're allowed to take a dog.

Dog:

Any tips would help!

I sense much fail in your future.

Assuming he's housebroken, call your friend and ask what time the dog normally eats and gets walked, he'll be used to snarfing and pooping at those times, so if possible you should stick to that schedule for him. For an off-schedule pooping, my dog will give me "the look" and I'll just know he has to go out, your mileage may vary. Find an old rag or sock and play with him with it when you have a few free minutes.

Other things besides peanut butter will also work.

You friend should have filled you in on feeding/walking habits.

Don't forget the onions too. Raisins are even better than grapes btw.

(OP: NO! Do not feed any of said items unless you want to kill the dog.)
