But unfortunately, I removed him from training last night. There was a dog
that was dog aggressive and people aggressive. The handler teaches
shutzhund dogs and prey drive/bite work.

That handler has no business teaching basic
puppy classes, let alone Schutzhund.

Wow. I can't believe I'm about to say this
(get ready ;-) but you were more patient
wbout this than I would have been.

I'd have been up in the faces of whoever was
in charge until this incompetent fool was
removed from the premises. Given the cost and
travel involved, plus the fact that being
ejected may have given this handler half a
clue, I'd have been hard pressed to
relinquish my position.

But given how much psychic danger Tuck was in
being constantly pummeled by this oafish dog,
I can totally understand why you made the
choice you did.

I hope you follow up with a strongly worded
letter to the people who put this seminar
together. That's grounds for a lawsuit if
they're that cavalier with the safety of
people's trained SAR dogs.
