Monday night I went to the registration at the new dog training place (no dogs). We watched a demonstration the trainers did with their dogs. I am in love with rally obedience and I think it's something Remi and I can eventually do. Everyone there was so kind and guess what there first rule is? If your dog acts aggressive in class they put a muzzle on him and you have to wear it for the rest of the classes. They do not put up with any bad behavior and they asked us to concentrate and focus on our dogs for that one hour so we can anticipate any problems with our dogs. If your dog does bite he will be suspended from group and put in privates until they decide what the problem is...
Last night I went to the class and there were eight people in the class with one trainer
and two helpers! I was so nervous because Remi has been barking at every dog he sees, something he has never done before. I took him thirty minutes early and we walked around and he barked some but when we got into class and started working he was O.K.I was so proud of him he did second best behind a handler with a papillon (sp.)that has her agility excellence title(?) with another dog. Remi moved on the stand and stay where the trainer came over to walk around him and touch him(I forgot what that's called)
I love my new trainer. His name is Dick and he is very kind. We will definately get our confidence back at this training facility!
Diane says she sent me a check for partial refund of my class and some on the vet bill. She said I signed a waiver that releases her from any liability and she was just helping me out because I am a friend.(with friends like these who needs enemies!!)Part of me wants to fight for what I believe in and for the dogs coming after me and the other part of me just wants to get her out of my life. I will let you know what she sends IF the check is really in the mail.
Diane always felt that Remi was just a dog and I was strange because to me he is one of my children. At the dog training club Dick has a rescue sheltie and it is his child! When he praises his baby he says he brings his voice up so many octives he sounds like a girl. They call him the Candy Man because he loves to give treats when the dogs do something good. The Candy Man is as in love with his dog as I am with mine.
P.S. All this trauma has made me realize Remi needs a sibling so I won't treat him like an only child.
