That so stinks. I am sorry that happened to you.

For what it's worth, I took a beginner class with my very pitty pitty and the instructor ended up using me as his demo dog for almost every exercise because my guy was stellar and the instructor's dog was not.

I got invited to teach the next session.

Go change some minds! When my guy got jumped by a golden and just ignored it completely, everyone relaxed. People just don't know any better, but trainers sure should.
