Im sorry that happened. In her profession she should be an encourager. I would try a different puppy class |
If it was said to me, and I KNEW MINE was a piece of work, which DEX IS!! NO offense taken, that's just me, it's takes more than WORDS to break my bones!! BUT She better be one heck of trainer, he'll prove how good or bad of a trainer she is by the end of your course! GOOD LUCK |
I knew you weren't a quitter.;) |
If it makes you feel any better, we had a cocker spaniel about 15 years ago. We took her to training class along with our Golden. She would misbehave so badly in class, that we were asked to NOT bring her back. Our golden graduated top of her class, though :cool: |
Glad to see you're going back to class....However, i would call the non-profit organization and tell them that you dont want you money back cause you feel its going to a good cause..HOWEVER, you feel its necessary to make them aware of a trainer that is representing their organization. I'm sure this organization would not want a bad representation of themselves considering i'm sure a lot of the clients are probably based on referral. Tell them you plan on referring noone to them if this kind of behavior keeps up. :) |
That's horrible to be singled out that way. I would be a little hurt, too. I took Sophie to a beginners puppy class and she got So Excited every week to see all the other people and their puppies. Some of the pups were quite large breed dogs and much bigger than Sophie but she still had to go up to everyone of them unafraid each week to say hello. We had a good instructor who would come over in the second half of class after Sophie settled down (a little :rolleyes:) and was more focused to nicely give us special help with each command. In the end Sophie graduated and won the "Enthusiasm" award :D!! There are good trainers out there. |
Centering out people in a "negative" way is not a real great teaching tool. What that trainer did was wrong, wrong, wrong, on many fronts. And particularly on first day of class. In terms of the collar, nada nada no way, once your dog learns to heel and walks easily with no pull on the lead then and only then, and in my judgement only when I am in a competitive obedience class will I put a collar on my dog. In competitive obedience all dogs must wear collars. So glad you have decided to stick to your guns; but she should know that her behaviour the first night of class was uncalled for, unappreciated by you, hurt you, and unnecessarily centered you out in front of a group of strangers. This is NOT an environment that is conducive to learning. |
I took a "full of spirit" Yorkie male (6 mos) to a handling class...Scooter and a 6 mos old Jack Russell were banished to the back of the room because the scared all the large breed puppies...there was one Mastiff that hid under a table when he saw them coming...neither of us apologized for our dogs...that is why we were at the class. |
