I was just bitching and venting to some fellow trainers about some of the weirdo phone calls I get, like the guy who called me today about his PBT. Turns out the PBT is "not aggressive enough" (I kid you NOT!) and the owner is upset because the dog wags his tail at everyone (eight months old). As if the breed couldn't use some diplomats like this dog, which I told the guy! I happen to like most people, although I think the GP is incredibly ingorant about animals, particularly their dogs (a source of frustration for me, but this is my chosen profession so I have to keep my mouth shut and smile) and most I meet really do want the best for their dogs (or they wouldn't have hired me in the first place) - but it's these creeps like this guy that don't hire me and that I couldn't possibly work with that really get to me sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-1169063602035498052007-01-17T14:53:00.000-05:002007-01-17T14:53:00.000-05:00Dogs, gotta love em!

I think it's shitty and it doesn't work because the dogs are smart enough to know when it's NOT on so they misbehave. I shouldn't have to threaten them with the collar for them to behave.
