[Bella*s Mommy]

I had a trainer come in here today to help with Bella. The woman was a quack. She got on the floor rolled around and Bella could have cared less. She tells me that Bella is "unsocialized" I responded with..."no she just doesn't know what your doing." So then the woman starts howling...and Bella jumps up (from playing with her toy) and runs over to see what she is doing. She jumped on her back legs and sniffed the woman. The woman claims that Bella is aggressive because of this. I started hysterically laughing. Then she tells me that I am not qualified to be a dog owner...people like me are people who end up with vicious dogs. Because I can't read the signals of a nasty dog. I told her that she is on the floor howling; and Bella thinks she is playing.

Final straw; she tells me not to talk to Bella AT ALL besides commands; communication interferes with the pack leadership role. Never hold or hug her!! And no petting! I was soooooo annoyed, and humored at the same time. The woman was a complete quack. A complete waste of $50. But well worth the humor. Has anyone heard anything like this before?
