I’m with my friend’s brother for a week and they have this dog which is cute and friendly and well trained…

If the dog is really bothering you that much, either offer to take him for a walk...and "accidentally" take him to a groomer for a bath...OR just tell your friend the smell is overwhelming to you, and go to a hotel.

Offer to take the dog out for a walk - and make sure you go near a lake!

ride out the week and try to ignore it....it's just a week.

TAke that mofo and wash him till he smells like a freshly blooming flower. Don't ask just do. Everybody will thank you.

I love dogs, but they are very stinky. I feel like I have to wash my hands after petting one.

Cats on the other hand clean themselves and I do not feel like I have to wash my hands after handling them.

Take the dog into the shower with you. Don't say anything or draw attention to it, just do it.

You could just say to the brother, "Look this is totally me, not your sister, so I want to get that out there. I really like your dog--he's(?) really a particularly great dog. But--and I don't want to offend you--maybe you've become used to it...your really wonderful dog smells really NOT wonderful. So bad that his stink precedes him. I would be happy to wash him for you and not make this more work for you. Would you let me do this for you and your great dog?"

@Jennster simple answer givie it a bath or shower it is not the poor dogs fault at the end of the day it is the master who is neglecting the pooch and hygiene

A dog has exactly 7 jobs:

Eat
Sleep
Pee
Poop
Bark at nothing
Wiggle its butt
Stink

Its better for the dog to have good hygiene,i dont see a problem telling them

I would probably find an excuse and leave

Go homme or offer tò wash it yourself

Offer to go to lake or river, get dog in water. Welcome

Id come out and say when was last time dog had a bath and go from there. Im not going to live bad because they cant wash a pet
