Izzy's Mom
New member
Sorry for using this forum to vent but I left our puppy training class a little upset yesterday. I am paying WAY more than what the class cost at Petco/Petsmart because I thought this place had a better reputation.
Anywazy, I really don't appreciate the little comments that the trainer (also owner of the facility) makes about Izzy. I am not sure why people have this idea of the breed and just think they are the same.
While doing some of the exercises to teach the dog to "drop it" she asked us to use a bone that she provided. Izzy didn't care much for it so it was kind of an useless exercise for us. Then I tried to use some toys and still... Izzy is a good little dog and she is not crazy about things in specific... she like her toys, her treats, but she never acts CRAZY about them.
So the trainer comment, among many others that she has been dropping throughout our classes was: OH SHE IS NOT OBSESSED ABOUT THE BONE, BUT SHE WILL BE OBSESSED ABOUT SOMETHING, ALL BULLDOGS ARE OBSESSED.
I was not happy!
Then in the beginning of the class when I was sharing with her my concern that Izzy is pretty mellow and chill so once we do the training for her to come when I call her usually she just seats and stares at me or walk very slowly.... so the trainer made a comment about how english bulldogs are hard to train especially if you dont have food. Then just to show off I got her to seat, give both paws, lay down and roll over.... BAM! Without a treat!
Just dont appreciate all the judgement coming from her... I paid $175 to get useful ideas and not to have somebody telling me that bulldogs are lazy and obsessed dogs.
