JMO but when taking them to a class, maybe it would be best to leave the fru fru at home, and just concentrate on the class. there is a time and place for everything and this was an obedience class, not a fashion show. If someone over dressed their child for school, the child would no doubt get negative comments also, and maybe even pushed in the mud puddle. I don't mean to sound negative and i am not defending the rudef comments, just looking at it from the other side. |
Lulababy, I'm so sorry you had to go thru that. Noone should ever make fun of anyone. If anyone dares to make fun of my Pasquale...being the italian that i am...i'll fire back...and twice as hard. They'll wish they never opened their mouth. What ever happened to the "if you dont have anything nice to say...dont say anything at all?" After the class is over..id file a complaint with whomever schedules the classes. It's not fair to you or to your Pebbles. Let us know how she's progressing with the classes. |

I know it's easier said than done and you are very entitled to be offended. Maybe, if it makes you feel better, talk to the trainer and tell her of your concerns. Pebbles is DARLING beyond words! I think they're jealous! |
Some people just don't think before they speak. Some don't care if they hurt your feelings. And some are just stupid. :rolleyes: Ignore them and focus on the positive ones. I would be thrilled to meet Pebbles. |
I happen to thin Pebbles is adorable!! i get comments on my babies all the time. I have heard people say they look like rats! Other people cant stand that i put clothes on them. I have just learned to brush it all off. The only opinion that matters is your own. Just ignore them, they don't know what they r talking about!! |
How horrible In this life we all will be confronted with negative remarks, I get you are to fat like I don't know that. Well If I were to listen to all those who said that I would be loopy. I know for sure that I am confident and understand that there are bullies in life who have nothing better to do but to try to destroy what God has made. You have a lovely Yorkie and sometimes people don't know how to say nice things because they really are just a tad bit jealous so they act out in hurtful ways. I have found kindness kills uglyness. There is nothing wrong with dressing your Baby up like she is fabulous because she is. Honey I would walk in there head up like the Diva I am and she is and when they said something to me I would say something lovey and make them really think about saying something to me again. This is my skill If I were deaf and did not here these things would they affect me no. So I hear what I need to hear life is to short to give away any thing even a negative word that is not deserved. |
I am so very sorry about the negative comments. Unfortunately many people have never been taught how to behave in public. Either I would ignore the negative comments or I would come up with a "stock comeback" and practice using it so that when I needed to spit it out I could without hesitation. Something like -- I will excuse your inappropriate comments because I have to assume you were never taught good manners. |
Ive gotten a lot of those same comments from complete strangers. When fishing: Is the dog the bait? Ha Ha MY dog is 90 lbs! When out walking or at a store: Are you walking a rat? Shes too big to be a yorkie, must be a mix. (She was 2 lbs at the time) Thats not a yorkie, yorkies arent black. (Hello! Its a puppy!) What a spoiled little brat! (Said in a mean way cuz she was wearing a pink sequined harness) And of course: My dog would eat your dog. I know we should just brush it off, but I just dont know what kind of permission people have to make these comments. I mean, I dont walk up to our neighbor and his boxer and say "Are you walking an underfed cow?" or how about "My car could run over your dog." |
Sometimes when people say stupid things you can just agree with them, for example the person who said she looked like a mop, you can just agree and say, "Oh yes, I know she's my little mop head," or something to that effect. I have found that this works really well at stopping negative comments, and it helps in winning people over. I disagree with those who say, you shouldn't dress your dog for an obedience class, but whenever you do dress your dog, you're going to get lots of attention both negative and positive. I don't know why people have such a problem with those that dress their dogs; it never ceases to amaze me though. Try to give people the benefit of the doubt, many just don't know what to say, and blurt out something stupid. I wish I could see a picture of her in her little dress, I bet she was a knockout. |
i brush it off...it doesn't do us any good to get mad...because it will only affect us..not them..and that means they win! |
I dont let people like that get to me at all. I just think some people dont think of their dogs in the same way people on here do. Theres are just dogs, ours are babies |
Unfortunatly Opinions are like ( enter body part here, i use a certain bad word) everyone has one. Most of the time they arent worth anything. If someone makes a rude comment to me about my babies, i let them know that i didnt ask for their opinion and if i wanted one they wouldnt be the person i turn to! Im very protective of my lil ones |
I'm sorry!! You had to go through this!! Its ignorant people everywhere and as adorable as she is, they are just jealous!! My pride wouldn't let me go back to that class too but its up to you. It sounds like you had a hard time finding a good trainer!! If I had no choice but to go back I would just ignore their comments!! If they continue maybe ask a question about their dogs so the attention can be deviated from you to them. Good luck to you! I'm so proud of her doing so well! She's adorable and one of my favorites on here;) |
I saw the cutest little shirt online awhile back that said "Can't Touch This"...it was sooo cute. It was only in pink or I would have bought one for sure. I can picture "Pebbles" wearing something cute like this and then when anyone says "Anything" negative ...just smile! Make sure those other "big dog owners" keep a tight hold on them!! |

You show 'em who rules Pebbles. I admire you for keeping quiet, I can't. Pebbles is soooo much smarter than their dogs...and you know it and just kept it to yourself. Good job! Pebbles probably doesn't need those classes anyway! |

I know, it is upsetting after all I went through to find this class. thanks for the support.. this week she is learning how to heel and sit after heeling... she is doing very well with it. im supposed to train her 3 times a day for 5-10 minutes. she is really getting the hang of it!! next week she will learn how to stay after sitting.. and something else :) |

Try to ignore those dummys, they're the ones that have self-esteem issues. You chose your dog and they chose theirs. They wouldn't like it if you said.."how many people has your big dog killed?.. would they. Besides Pebbles is adorable and obviously smarter than theirs.:D |

thank you everyone for taking the time to comment, it means a lot. Everyone here is so great :hug: I will take all of your advice into consideration :) |
:thumbup::thumbup:[QUOTE=Wylie's Mom;2203054]That's right! And, you can even take the trainer aside and speak to her alone, if you don't want to do the group thing. She is the leader of that class and should foster RESPECT for you AND all the animals, for gosh sakes! I also want to pat your back for STANDING your ground with the harness instead of what they were using. You should share your words with the trainer .... YOU are there to learn with your baby, not be a subject for negative ignorant comments! I hope your baby tops all of them! :thumbup: Yeeeaaa! |
Glad you stayed in the class, let that little one show them up!! As for the clothes, maybe training time isn't the best, but that still doesn't excuse the rudeness of these people. I probably would have thought of a quick comment to throw back at them.. You enjoy your class and consider the source on those remarks.. I think you did a good job! |
Those people don't bother me at all!!! Who cares what these people think. That is your baby. I've had people tell me Otis isn't a yorkie because he's big. I just laugh! I don't care what he is, I love him and he loves me! There are so many things to worry about in life, don't let what people say or think about your baby get to you!!:D |

When I dress mine up and take them out, I expect to get lots of attention and would consider anyone who made negative remarks to be jealous. |
Quote:
Pebbles didn't like it at first either but now she know that when I take it out she is going for a walk. That is the only time we use it though. They do all sound like morons. |

Personally, I don't know if I would dress my dogs, but that's just me! However, I do think that some of the puppies I've seen here in their cute outfits are just adorable! Just cause they don't personally practice it doesn't mean they have a right to make you feel bad. If your Pebbles is as darling as your avatar, then they are blind! She is adorable and are just jealous they don't have the creativity to dress up their babies! |
I forgot to add, I'm glad you stuck to using your own harness. And the gentle leaders I'm use to using we only use with large dogs that are not use to walking on a leash and/or when the dogs are stronger than they realize. They can be so strong sometimes and can't seem to understand why I keep falling over when I try to walk them! |
