Today at PetSmart

So….today I walked into PetSmart to purchase a ”Chuck it” (My dogs love the ball). On the way out I’m growled at by this lady’s catahoula mix while she paid the cashier. We are leaving at the same time and as she starts walking, the dog stops growling and forges in front of her. She then clicks her clicker and keeps walking. The dog then stops, urinates, then starts walking again. She again, clicks the clicker. I tell her (on my way to my vehicle), click the clicker after the behavior you request specifically. She replies by telling me that she knows what she’s doing and she’s been taking the classes at PetSmart.

So…I’m not knocking the excellent training at these local pet stores but I certainly encourage all of you to do your research with any trainer previous to signing up. Clearly, that girl and that catahoula mix are missing out on good instruction.

Just my thoughts.
