I just need to vent a little.
last night i took Laney B. to her first puppy training class. she's 5 mths old and loves playing with other dogs, so i was really looking forward to her meeting other dogs. of course, Laney was so excited when she saw other dogs. she just wanted to get to know them. but when the trainer showed up, she started talking to the owners and she talked for about 35 min. i had to give Laney almost all her treats just to get her to sit still. it was so stressful! here i was trying to listen to this trainer talk while trying to keep my poor puppy still while surrounded with other cute puppies. then after 35 min. we were supposed to work with getting out dogs attention and healing and stuff. OMG. it was too much to ask! it seemed SO unnatural and i felt bad and stressed. the trainer wasn't bad or anything, but i feel angry that Laney and myself had to endure that stress. not fun. anyway.. hopefully next week will be better. i'm going to call the trainer and tell her my concerns there too.
take care.
