well...he's in a puppy kindergarten class with about 10 other dogs...Buddha is a pit mix, but she says he looks about 90% Pit...the training is taking place at Planet Pooch (our doggie daycare)...but the in house trainer works for K-9 Insight...but they're held on Planet Pooch grounds...

She said he has agressive tendencies towards other dogs and could turn out to be a dangerous dog, etc...she even told us that 'we might want to tell people that he's a Boxer mix'....

Basically...from the moment we came there...we could tell that she didn't like him...she even makes him wear a red bandana around his neck thru the whole class "be careful around THAT dog'....so much so that some of the other puppy parents recall their dog anytime he comes anywhere near them...with some kind of terror in their voice...I follow him around during the playtimes with treats...giving him little bits of treats whenever he's around the other puppies...so that he associates other dogs with something good...and now I'm recalling him when a group of puppies are around him...kind of diverting his attention from being surrounded...at home we dont let him play rough with Riely (even though Riely is usually the one enticing him)...we dont let him growl or anything or he gets a time out....he's a really good dog at home...

it seems to me that he's only really snapped at lab's so far (they're with the same family)...specifically the black one named London....there is another golden named Max....

he's not food or water posessive at all...he's not toy posessive...and now she thinks he's 'treat posessive' because he snapped at another dog when I was following him around at off leash playtime...and was giving him a treat...and puppies came all around him...(i know he was super hungry because we ran out of food that day...)...AND...he snaps at puppies without treats involved...he just stiffens up and gets overwhelmed I guess...he drinks out of the water bowl at the SAME time as other dogs with no problem...

it just seems that she was biased towards our dog from the beginning...the look on her face when she saw him was like 'Oh no...'....we've been taking him on Sunday mornings to Puppy Playtime...a socializing hour...and he's usually totally fine there...I think he's just on guard around lots of other dogs...specifically puppies...he's never growled or snapped or barked at any dog in the Pet store...mostly I think because they're adult dogs...after the first training class...she made us stay afterwards and gave us a half hour speech that almost made me cry right there...about how he might 'Kill Riely and not even give a damn'....and that in 2 years he might snap and we'd have to get rid of him..etc etc...I cried for like 2 days whenever I looked at him...whenever I looked at his picture...

theres only 2 more classes of kindergarten to go...i dread going every time...
