I just attended a SchH trial where a competitor would not show his dogs unless his own helper did the bite work. Is this cheating?
Full Question:
Hi Ed, I attended a sanctioned USA local club trial Memorial day weekend and found it very disturbing. One of the entrants said he would not compete if he could not bring his own helper and the USA judge allowed it. The helper only worked his dogs, no other trial entries. It was very obvious to all that this was cheating, but no one spoke up. I am a fairly new member and I was not sure of this practice. One of his clients dogs that he was trialing also attacked another dog on the long down. Another dog he entered was cowering during the obedience exercise, (a little too much force in training?) I'm very disgusted with USA at this point because I hear this is not the first time this has happened. I forgot to mention he did not want the other helper to work his dog because he chased his dog off the field at the regionals. This guy lives in Arizona. Can you suggest some other group I could join or are they all like this?

If you ask me this is unethical! I would write a letter about this to the President of USA and file a formal complaint with the head judge. I would also put this information on some of the chat lines on the internet, but you need to mention the club and name the guy.
Not all USA clubs are like this or would allow this to happen. You are correct, in my opinion it is cheating and should not be tolerated.
You can also look into DVG - there are links on my link page on where to start.
