Thanks for being non-judgemental about this toward me. I am going to give her a fair try. I think that sometimes thats what you need to succeed. I do take criticism and will learn from what Ive done wrong with our last dog. I have already been teaching Sadie how to sit when I ask her to and have NEVER EVER used force on any dog Ive ever owned or been in contact with. Our other dog was a bully type dog and unfortunately we didnt correct it when we first started to see his dominance at a very early age. Sadie and I are working on her potty training and I have spoke with this trainer about how to go about it the best way so Im crossing my fingers and hoping for the best! I wont bring up the past with my trainer and I think that she will see that I can be taught - as well as my Yorkie! Unfortunately, my husband still does not understand how aggressive our last dog was and is still torn up about why we had to put him down and he is in denial and believes that we could have corrected him. The sad thing is that if we could have "fixed" him, I gave my husband a full 9 months to either sign up for a class for him or start teaching him to be more social or put him in the backyard tied up with a dogrun or SOMETHING but he did nothing and ignored the problem in hopes that it would just go away. Sadly, he did go away and I wont let him own another dog again where he is responsible for its care. Period.
