I've got a little problem. Actually 3 of them. I am scheduled to make a trip to Mayo in Rochester, Minn in early Dec. I've got 3 little dogs. I've been very ill for about a year. In the last year no one has been in my house but my husband and I. (no family close and no friends left who visit) The dogs are very protective. The last time anyone was in the house (repairman) all three little dogs were threatening and I had to take them out on the patio.

I have to break in a housesitter who will be coming in twice a day to feed, water and let them out while we are gone. How in the world do I do this? My disipline and training of them has deteriorated terribly due to my illness. I'm getting so stressed over this and I can't find anything that tells me how to do this. Do any of you have any suggestions?
