Nebo was kicked out of agility class...

[pitc9]

That sucks!! I'm sure that just means your bound to find a better class!!! Keep your chin up!! ~*Hugs*~ to you both!!

[lovemyshiba]

That's not fair at all.

I'm sorry that Nebo was kicked out for such a stupid reason.

You and Nebo are better than that place, I hope you can find something else.

I was just about to post this very thing! Amy, I think she could have given you the courtesy of a phone call. How horrible that you had to make that drive for nothing! Not everyone logs onto their computer on a daily basis (except of course us PTers ) That was pretty inconsiderate.

Oh, Amy That doesn't seem fair or understanding at all. I understand how it could upset you!

I hope you can enroll Nebo into a better class.

[Karen]

She was just jealous 'cause Nebo's so pretty, she couldn't stand it I bet!

Think of it as "school vacation" until you find another class. They don't deserve yours and his time and attention.

Well that's just not right I can't imagine how alienated you feel. Well if they are going to be like that I wouldn't want to go there anyway. Did you get your money refunded?

I hope you can find another place to take him since it sounds like he liked it so much.

Oh Amy that sucks, I'm sorry. It's not fair that Nebo had to get kicked out of class for something like that, especially considering that it's in an arena and it can easily be taken of if the owner so desired. I guess that just settles it, you'll have to come up here and take some agility classes

[sabies]

Amy that is terrible and I agree with what everyone else has said - you should have gotten more than an email and why does a dog get kicked out for having diarrhea a couple of times?

It's understandable you are upset, you were just treated rudely and disrespectfully. I hope you can find another place.

Thanks everyone. There's really not many classes offered around here, that was the closest one and it was a 30 min drive. So I really don't think I'll be finding another class.

Maybe this isn't true, but I do think Nebo was more likely to be kicked out than any other dog simply because he's a husky. Everyone (including the arena owner) there were aussie people. I always kind of felt like an outsider because of that.

[lizzielou742]

Poor you! That sucks. I would be upset that they handled a little doggie upset stomach that way. Good luck finding a better place to take Nebo for agility.

He's beautiful BTW!!

Oh Amy, I can understand how upsetting that would be. I know it would have me torn up, what a horrible thing for them to do! I just feel shocked that they would boot a dog out of class for an accident . How hurtful and humiliating that must have felt, I can truly understand how you must be feeling, I wish I could offer more than words. Try not to be down or feel any shame in it, you and Nebo did nothing wrong, nothing to deserve that cruel treatment. We all love and support you and Nebo here, you know that {{hugs}}

Don't give up, I hope something better comes along that you and Nebo can actually enjoy without snooty judgemental people tarnishing your joy in it.

That's your answer! Put out a call for other non-Aussie agility people - they may have been put off by the same attitudes you encountered in the class! Start your own class, consult with the friendlier trainer to see if she'd teach! An all-breeds-welcome agility class - Come Short, Come Tall, Come One, Come All!

Exactly! How unfair. Well, I certainly hope you can find another class or maybe organize one like Karen suggested! Judy sounds willing to help you as she can! I know you two enjoy agility so please don't let this ruin it for you!!!

[Amber]

That is bull!

Thats very unfair. I can't believe they would kick out a dog for that. I hope you find a much better place to enrool Nebo at.
