So on the one hand, it is their house and they have a right to ask you to take Xander home, especially if he was acting aggressive towards her (even if he doesn't normally), but on the other it's weird that their dog is aggressive and in need of training yet, it's ok for him to be around their son  Sadly as sweet as Xander may be, he still acted aggressively, and that will need to be addressed, regardless of whether it was the meat he smelled or if he just didn't like this lady. I can understand you being upset but I would consider the opposite situation where if they brought their dog over, you would probably ask them to take him home. I would be upset too, but don't worry no one will consider him the aggressive dog on the block, cause they will all see how sweet he is for themselves. That is a the sweetest picture ever!  |
Oh no, I totally agree they have the right to ask us to take him home, I wasn't arguing that. I guess i was more upset about what you said, them ignoring the fact that their own dog is a nightmare but calling our dog aggressive.
See Xander was trained with us and a dog whisperer type trainer and is very well behaved, we have even taken him on several benefit type walks and no problem there. I know they took their dog to one petsmart class, because when we got Xander we asked for a recommendation and neither my husband nor I agreed with the simplicity of petsmarts program.
But how do you address this issue if it has never come up before? We told him no and imedetialy corrected it, but i don't think this is an aggression issue. He didn't bite her, or show his teeth or anything.
