    I feel so odd now

    The obedience class we go it is taught by well known dog instructor, Bob Minchella. If I recall corectly he has wrote or helped write some books too. (see more about him here:http://www.lollypop.org/orgMain.asp?...&orgID=23&sid=)

    He is excellent in every aspect! Very knowledgable, helpful & caring. An awesome instructor who I would reccomend to anyone!

    Now this is what bothers me. He didn't hand out any certificates at all. Now I have been in many dog classes & even was a training assistant in some. Every single one always handed out certificates or something.
    So I emailed them & explained my concern and also told them how much I like Bob. Now they just called me, they didn't even email me back, they just called. They are making a certificate just for me. WTF??? Sure I'd love one but I don't want a "special" one made just for me. I will feel so weird this Sat. at our next class.
    They explained that years ago they handed them out but it wasn't worth it as most people didn't want one. Am I the only real dog lover out there that is really into their dogs? That frames & hangs their certificates/achivements on the walls, in scrapbooks etc...

    I didn't know it cause this big of a deal.

    How many of yous went to a class & did or didn't get a certificate?

    I would have loved a certificate, I didn't know they did such things, Micki was in puppy preschool and then beginning obedience. Jack is in beg. obedience now and I'm pretty sure they don't give certificates...

    I never had my old dog in classes (there were none), but if I did, I would have wanted one & hung it on the wall. I had loosing ribbons hung up & his 3rd place ribbon up aswell. I was proud of him for just being in the Mutt Competions( I had to stop going cause I was too old (13yrs max, wow that was 10yrs a go, sheesh thats a long time ago)..

    I would have asked too, and I enjoy the certificate. It means a lot to me.

    Snowy got a certificate for completing the puppy class but not for the beginner class



    They explained that years ago they handed them out but it wasn't worth it as most people didn't want one.
    well in that case they are the weird ones so don't feel bad.

    thanks k9krazee for the signature!

    Don't feel bad. I've got Autumn's hanging on the wall with her special birthday frisbee she got from purina and the leash she got from class.
