Me: "I trained him myself" Random dude: "Oh, he must be old then, he's so calm" Me: "Actually, he just turned 2 years old last month" Random dude: "Oh..... ok...." (and walks away shaking his head) I think he thought I was lying. This conversation going on while a PetsMart "dog trainer" was trying to get a dog to sit, by tossing on a prong collar, yanking up, as he pushed on the butt of the dog yelling SIT. Promised the owner the dog wouldn't pull in the impossibly oversized prong. Idiot.

Anne Jones Webboard User Reg: 04-29-2004 Posts: 3825 Loc: Northeast Offline	I had a guy walk my way that I had never seen before when out on the field running my dogs & doing some OB (most of the 'regulars' see me there all the time & I know them) I pretty much ignored his calling to me until I was ready to take a break & put the dogs in a down stay. (hoping he would go away 'cause I knew what was comming.) He came up to me & asked me how I taught the dogs to listen so well. I said that they came this way & he looked at me & asked how old they were when I got them...I said 8 weeks old. I smiled & released my dogs & walked away. Somedays I just get tired of answering the same questions over & over. MY DOGS...MY RULES

I just want to go to them & smack them on the head & take the dog far away. I've seen them yanking on young pups..saying that you have to get tuff with them so they know you are the boss & their pack leader. One puppy was so scared it peed & pooped & cowered. The owner didn't know what to do. As I walked by I suggested that there are other places to take your pup for training. Makes me sick. I feel really bad becasue these poor owners are really trying to get some help with their dogs & this is what they get for their efforts. Sad. MY DOGS...MY RULES
