Winston had his first AKC puppy class yesterday. I expected him to be the most STUBBORN in class, the only other doggie is a Weimaraner (perfect of course... LOL) but Winston did very well yesterday except for the leave it!!! Why do bullies have the hardest time w/the LEAVE IT!!! LOL What was so funny was about halfway thru class, Winston kept running over to the trainer to visit the other puppy and of course disrupt class...
I have one question though, the trainer started using his collar to get him to stay in sit & go down. I read a thread on FB about this bully who died after a trainer pulled her on her leash (which was attached to his collar) she ended up w/a tracheal collapse. Should I stop putting a collar on him to class, tell the trainer this, or is this something that is okay w/bullies?!! She wasn't pulling him off the ground or anything, but after reading that I was kinda wary that she was using his collar... Other than that I REALLY liked the trainer, and she has worked w/bullies before...
