My dog does not bark or shed and is much like having a large cat in the house, since she sleeps all the time. She is a typical Bullmastiff and was like this from the time I got her at 12 weeks. You would have better luck with a Bullmastiff in your property than with a smaller dog, as the smaller ones can be very loud and needy (causing issues). I'd still make the tenent pay you an extra security deposit, since they did violate your existing lease. I'd also ask them to commit to repair or pay to repair any related dog damage, over and above the deposit and strongly suggest that you will be more receptive to the dog if they take required obedience classes. Anyone with a large breed needs to have firm control and this might make you feel better anyway.

I will be posting shortly about what is happening with my situation. Thanks for the post!

I am in almost the same boat. Only I got the call from another tenant who was threatened by the new dog owner (seems the dog got caught in a door). Anyway, mine isn't going so well. They refuse to get rid of the dog OR move. Eviction in progress... They were willing to pay extra, but the whole incident told me this was not a good idea. So, what did you do?

Seems to me that if you told her you would let her get a dog if she signed the extra agreement, and you didn't give any parameters (breed, size, etc.) you would have to honor your verbal agreement. However, having her move out would be a better option. Any puppy is going to have potty training issues that go well beyond what a security deposit will pay, let alone scratching and chewing walls and woodwork while they're away at work. Good luck with your decision! A vacancy may be in your future...? I don’t know anything about that breed but I am LMAO about your Wikipedia description!
