I think I told you about the other week when some guy grabbed Zeke at flyball and scared him to death?

Anyway, THIS week, I came in early and did some exchange practice with a few other newbie dogs. He did excellent. I was so proud. Then he gets up, and he runs over to "play" with a dog. Uh oh, that's a big no no. That dog doesn't like to play. So I grab him and pull him off "No Zeke, bad!" Then the guys comes up, says "No!" and hits Zeke with his rope....like wtf?! What right does he have to do that? ESPECIALLY since Zeke was pulled off and no longer bugging his dog?! He doesn't know why he was just hit. The guy didn't look at me or say like "control your dog" or anything...which he SHOULD have done if he had a problem. So I bit my tounge so I wouldn't tell him off, and pulled Zeke. I had to go to the bathroom cause I was in tears. I'm so sick of it. It's like, everyone thinks Zeke is this stupid, mean, aggressive dog who will ruin their dogs. The captains KNOW he is like this, so I leave it to them to put him with dogs who are OK if this happens. They all know he isn't 100% yet.

I DO know that him doing this causes a lot of problems. It can ruin dogs. I don't think this dog would be ruined by Zeke. The guy thought Zeke was being aggressive...like so many other people. HE IS JUST OVERLY FRIENDLY...Why can't they get that through their heads. Urg! Someone else screamed when Zeke came up to their dog, someone else said "oh, he's not aggressive?" No, I don't think Zeke has an aggressive bone IN him. Besides, if he can ruin other dogs, which is a big no no, then why is it ok for them to ruin my dog? He is really soft, and the reason he doesn't run fast any more is because this other dog scared him to death.

If there is such a big problem, they should talk to me. They should have more people in the center when he runs. There is so many things they could do if they actually wanted him there.

I feel that I'm just a big problem for them and they don't really want me there. So, I'm throwing in the towel. I can't handle it anymore. My dad knows the guy who hit Zeke, and he says he's a big a******. He is an elitest snob. I'm so upset. Really. I don't know what to do, I've been working so hard wtih Zeke, and he's come so far!
