It sounds like Sadie did nothing outside of the logical. I don't understand why this lady(though I am sure meant well) wasn't working with her own dog. There was a very timid dog in Jambo's puppy class. She always cowered if someone came near her. Though she never showed aggression, I felt it was stressful on her so I just always ignored her. I figured if she wanted other people's attention she would let you know. I threw her a treat once but that's about it. Any time I meet dogs (shy or not) or children, I never want to push their boundaries. I figure if I was in their position, it has got to get annoying when people constantly want to pet you or pick you up. |
