Yet, if you don't complete a job because
there was a dog in the yard,
they'll give you crap too.

They'll give you medical treatment...
Then turn around and suspend you
because you shouldn't have went near the dog.
I think I'd rather "take their cr@p..."
than take the Dog's Teeth!

IDEA:

Get a few of your Multi-Lingual buddies together and write up
an axplanation of the SBC "Dog Policy" in as many different languages
as possible. Type them up and carry them with you.
When you are confronted with dogs in the house or yard,
and can't speak the language...
Hand the family the "Dog Policy Sheet".
The last sentence could read something like:
"Please confine your dogs inside the house or basement;
if you don't confine them - I will have to leave without
repairing your phone problem. Thank you!"

If it works - turn the idea in as a "Suggestion" to the company -
you might get an award for the *idea*.
