Aaaagh I am so excited!! We started dog training tonight! There are about 15 dogs in the class :eek: There are two of them that are ESPECIALLY loud...just barking non-stop. But besides them so many of the dogs are well behaved! We have about 5 labs, a pitbull (he was loud!), an Australian cattledog, a maltese, a blue-merle Collie(?), a cocker spaniel, a couple of mutts, and some others that I'm not sure of the breed. There was a little black lab mix that is in training to work with the handicapped. What a special and relaxed little guy!!
So tonight was basic introduction. She went over techniques, and demonstrated on her black labbie. She wants us to with a choke collar...I'm not crazy about this, but am willing to give it a try. She's a very nice lady, and seems to be quite knowledgable.
However, there are a couple of things that drive me a little crazy. The dog she was demonstrating on is UNneutered, and she believes in breeding. She has bred her male lab on numerous occasions. I was kinda shocked to hear this, but I guess we can't change the world all at once :(
