Oh Graham!!!! Star here. Boy, that's one mean person to hurt a fellow pup. My mom says us guys should never ever be hit. I'm in agility classes with my mom too, and the Lauren teacher lady is soooo nice. She says it's a LEAST our time to play and exersize and have doggie fun. In our class, nuttin bad is EVER allowed to be said to us pups; not even a no! If we mess up, our moms and dads just don't give us a cookie and we try again. No big deal. We're here to learn and have fun. Still, all a us are doin reeeel good. Even the bassett pup!! The Lauren teacher lady yells at the pup's HOOMINS if they even skold one a us kids. We all learn with lots a praise and yummies and that cliky thing. I hope you kan find another class. Sure is fun. Moms workin on makin some jumps from some kinda pcv, pcp, pvc, yeah, PVC pipe and she found a guy whos gonna send us a tunnel thingy in the mail, so we can praktice at home too. Let my mom know if ya want some info. Sounds like yer a reeeeel wiz at this stuff and I hope you kan keep it up! I hope the doggies okay too and that yer mom will report the mean, bad, nasty person to the dog police or tell the person what a bad teacher they is or sumthin. Don't want any us kind hurtin for sumthin like that! Mean Lady!!! Grrrrr!!Sorry ya had ta see that. Love you Graham, Star
