Banging my head in frustration.

Oh I could tell you the stories. People who deliberately lie, and people
who just absotively refuse to "see" the problem.

We had a woman who had skated all round town with her longhair GSD. She
bounced to our place. Immediately wanted to do an advanced agility
class. We tested her and said no. We put her in an obedience class. Good
thing, since her dog is *extremely* aggressive.

Well she just kept bugging us and bugging us about putting her in an
agility class. We just kept telling her that she couldn't be in an
agility class until her dog demonstrated the ability to control itself
off leash. So she just started helping herself to the equipment. While
other classes were going on. A big rule no-no. Nobody gets on agility
equipment that's not enrolled in an agility class.

Meanwhile, every time this dog sees another dog going at any rate of
speed (i.e., any of the agility dogs), it would stand on its back legs,
lunge forward, and ROAR. Oh yeah, like that's coming to our class. Um,
thank you no.

She finally went elsewhere. We were glad. Unfortunately she really
didn't get help for her dog because she refused to see that it had a
real problem. So even obedience was not really useful, and she refused
the help of a behaviorist.
