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.

I was. I used the "F" word to one of the instructors and refused to work
with her. When she was assigned team leader (because they refused to put
her and her dog in the field) She was such an idiot that search team
members all had radio failure until it got convenient to have them start
working again.

The instructors were all laughing about the mass radio failures. And not
surprised when they started working at convenience.

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 have felt both good and bad about my decision to pull him. GOOD for him,
and bad about what we missed.

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.

Oh, I have.. trust me.
