I think it's a great idea! The dogs at your house, so it's going to live by your rules. We dog sitted a choc. lab named Casey that never went for walks, was over wieght, pulled the leash, was afraid of water, and yet a very submissive dog. Got along OK with Abby, they pretty much ignored each other. But I taught the dog how to walk properly on the leash, I would walk Abby and Casey together beside me. We even were able to go for a hike in the woods with the two dogs walking beside each other. Sadly though, Casey has some kind of hip problems, I think she has HD, and we couldn't help her loose the wieght. We did help her with water phobia and I was able to give her the whole complete grooming thing and I think when it was time for her to go home, she looked great! Her coat was beatiful, I think she shed a few pounds (by accident).

Here's a picture of Casey:
