    |
|
We had a dog trainer round the other night - that was recommended by our vet - it was really just to tweak his behaviour - try to stop the jumping up, the mouthing etc
Well.....
As soon as she came in the door he boundered over to her and jumped up to say hello, she then swung her knee up into his chest, pushed him away and shouted off. He was a little bit perplexed by this - not sure if she was playing or not - so he jumped up again and this time she did it harder - he whimpered a little and went away.
Then we were sitting down and he started mouthing her hand - well the next thing we know she has him by the scruff of the neck pulls him off of his front feet and shouts NO BITING then throws him and I mean throws him away - he starts crying. Me and my husband and my children just looked at each other not really sure what to do or say.
She says that compulsion is not neccessarily a bad thing - but if that was compulsion then I think that it bloody well was (excuse me)
What are your experiences of home trainers - are they all like this and am I being over protective?
Also what do you think about half check collars?

Blimey, I am no expert on dog training but I know what I would have done.................... grabbed her by the scruff of HER neck and threw, I mean THREW her out of the door 
She sounds awful, what a bully! Poor Roly.

I would NOT accept this at all and I would have been absolutely furious if they had done that to my dog The old school of training no longer has a place in my opinion. Get yourself a trainer from the NADT website (which I cannot find for the life of me - hopefully someone will have it to hand)
furiously yours

Here here - should have rolled up a paper and hit her with that while you grabbed the scruff of her neck and kicked her out. I don't think I could stand some one like that. Would she like your knee in her chest. Poor Rolly its enough to scare him off people full stop.
