I was so happy to go to class like always yesterday! Mom said I was a little hyper though at first. I guess I did kind of act up, I suppose that I surprised her since I have been doing so good all along! Before class started we walked around the building a bunch of times to calm me down she said. I was more in the mood to play and that is why I was a little hyper! I am a very social Sheltie you know! Anyway, I was calm by the time class started and mom said that I was doing really good again. Remember the dog that I barked at last week for bothering me, well the dog was there again. It is a puppy and boy is that dog super hyper that is for sure! The dogs person is this big guy that is kind of loud and all. Well, when it came to the part of the class where mom and I had to stand in the middle of the class for everyone to come and pet me one at a time I was my usual shy self. I was a little figgity but mom kept giving me chicken and I was ok. That big guy came over for his turn and the way he put his hand at me really scared me A LOT! The chicken was not even on my mind at that point! I was trying real hard to hide behind mom from the scary, loud guy and do you know what he did? He kept coming at me anyway, WHAT! The instructor tried to get him to back off and mom told him to please stop so that she could calm me down, you know what he did then? He still came at me! You have got to be kidding! All my hard work was out the window from that! I wouldn't let anyone pet me again for a bit after that guy FINALLY got away from me! Why do people do that to me I just don't get! Mom was really mad that is for sure! After class she went to the instructor and asked her to keep that scary guy away from both of us because we have had enough! Mom and I know that I have to be good with strangers to be her Service Binx, I mean Dog, but do we really have to put up with aggressive people that come at me in that kind of way? Anyway, there is no class next week and mom and I will be doing a whole lot of practicing and training together and she said that she is going to take me for a good walk before the next class! Hopefully that big guy and his super hyper puppy will stay away from us when we go back! Until next time..... :)
Oh, I am sorry that that
Oh, I am sorry that that happened, I hope he stays away too!
