Try keeping up, I said I was an instructor can't for the life of me see how that makes a difference. If someone lies on an open forum are you saying an instructor or committee person doesn't have the right to speak out. So let me get this straight no one else on this forum is a trainer or committee person. Sorry I didn't realise this forum was for handlers only.

Don't get snippy. Read most of the posts not all but the majority is outrage at the incident posted. Ive seen very little discussion regarding training methods. Posts of other horror stories and suport for false reporting doesn't classify as discussion on training methods.

And just what is correcting the dog for running off once you catch it going to do to proof a recall? If the dog is notorious for running away off leash then it shouldn't be let off leash while it's still unreliable at recall. I am not here to debate training methods but to question why someone is posting lies. Training methods are like arse holes everyone has one and thinks theirs smells better than the next guys. No offence meant

How do you say one thing and then contradict what you are saying Yes! You did see it differently from what I saw, what bothers me are the lies you have said on an open forum perhaps you can ask all the people who were upset after the lesson to contact the committee I ask why haven't you found somewere else to go there are other clubs around that maybe more suitable to what you want as this is not the first time you have complained. I look forward to discussing it as do the other instructors who have done there best to help you over the years. Never have I seen a instructor scruff or lift a dog off the ground and lets be honest NIETHER HAVE YOU if it had happened there would be a uproar in the class think about what you are saying. You have gone from mispublicizing an incident to critasizing all aspects of the club. Why have you continued your membership when you are so unhappy?

WTF read what you are posting and be very careful what you are saying as this is a blantant lie i sugest you take this up with the club as you are not posting the truth on here we as a trialling group have NEVER NOT let you sit with us and the club instructors over the years have given you one on one instruction and i personally have helped you many times in the past i find your comments are very missleading and not the truth

Lets not change what actually happened and contradict your own post. You would have fixed your own recall problems with the help of those out dated instructors who would have suggested you go back to basics. Perhaps your attitude is the exact reason you have never been asked to be an instructor. I know how keen the club is for helpers and find it unbelievable that you have ever put up your hand and been not utilised. I do know you have trouble helping with equipment. Many instructors at that club have tried to help you out but clearly you know better. Perhaps it is time you move on this club obvoiusly doesn't cater to your needs and there are other clubs within the area.

If you have been a member of obedience clubs for 19 years you should recognise the difference between a repremand and abuse. I was in this class with my GSD and the instructor did not pick the dog up by the scruff of the neck but checked the chain and if telling a dog No is abuse God help us. The instructor well knows this dog and she has been notourious for running away when let off lead. The owner is at her wits ends as how to fix this problem before the dog is hit by a car or is attacked in class by another dog while playing this dangerous game. It saddens me that instructors who give up their time for free to help others in the interest of dogs can be classified as clicky perhaps you should play it forward to repay the time and effort I know that has been afforded to you by those same clicky instructors.
