Don't ask me how to fix a bad behavior and ignore everyting I told you... then don't come back telling me it didn't work because its obvious you never even tried.

Don't ask for advice on something and totally ignore it, trying something else instead, and don't come back to me asking AGAIN for a solution that you are not willing to try, just because you either don't want to spend the time or money on the proper solution. Speaking of which, don't buy shock collars because you want a quick fix. Having a dog means you have a commitment to take care of them.... that includes dedicating time to ensuring they are properly trained. I don't buy the "I don't have time" excuse. Then why the **** did you get a dog if you didn't want to spend time with it????

Don't tell me your dog is getting PLENTY of socialization because you have another dog at home and so does your neighbor and your mom. They need more than that... then don't return to me in 6 months with saying you've had enough with your barking/growling/jumping/timid dog and expect me to fix it.

Don't miss class because you want to enjoy the nice weather... then expect me to take an hour away from someone else to make up the class one on one.

Shut your dog up during class. SOOO many people just let their dog BARK BARK BARK BARK all class long and don't even TRY to calm their dog down. I repeatedly show them HOW to stop barking and they don't even TRY. If they can't be bothered to try in class, right in front of me, how much do you think they try outside class?

Don't threaten to get rid of you dog and take class as a last ditch effort... then don't quit after one or two classes. I know you took the class to appease your guilty conscious.... to tell yourself you at least tried. You didn't. (though I DO want that 14 week old Golden... you've been threatening to give her up for weeks. I sure wish I had the money to take your sweet, loving little girl off your hands. Shame on you for giving up just because you don't like the nipping and won't do what I tell you to do... and I know you don't because you don't do it in class)
