Hi All
Took Poppy to training class tonight, we have been going for about the last 5 weeks. Tonight one of the helpers, not the main trainer came over and said I was being too soft on Poppy. At the time we was doing a sit stay, but Poppy kept flopping down ( she had gotten herself all hot and bothered as she is sooo excited by the other dogs, plus she is still a baby at 19 weeks). He grabbed her by both sides of the collar and made her go into a sit, she was obviously upset by this and nipped him. He wasnt bothered and continued making her go into a sit. He then went onto tell me I should hit her when she does wrong, as I am going to ruin a good dog, does not seem right to me. The main trainer is very good, and the lady who trains the top class is excellent. Do I just ignore this guy or has he got a point, that I am letting her get away with not doing what I am asking and I am asking for trouble in the future.
Sorry its so long
Ange
