Petsitting for this nutty lady

As you may have read from my profile, I petsit. Now I'm pretty good natured about a lot of this but this lady I'm currently petsittning for, well I just can't take her any more!

She has two dogs, a black Lab and a golden retriever. They're really sweet and lovable but they are both under two, still technically puppies. They destroy the house aren't trained and I can't walk the golden retriever. She's too strong and hasn't been leash trained. I should have strong arms from walking an Irish setter, rottweiler and Lab, right? Well no, my dogs are actually leash trained and don't pull my arm outta the socket when they see a cat! Sheesh it hurts!

I told her that I won't be able to petsit for anymore unless she can train her dogs. She tells me that she'll "get to it" and never does. I'm at my wit's end and not going to stand for it any longer!

The last time my son and I had that problem while pet sitting we arranged to be the trainers while the family was on vacation. For the big lab we used Uncle Manny's techniques. It worked. Took us 3 sessions a day, 45 minutes per session, to get her trained quickly. We didn't take her out of their fenced yard for at least the first week and then we had to keep the sessions out of the yard very controlled.
