Tonight was Wolfie's second obedience class. Last week, he barked and barked a lot, but eventually settled down. Tonight, we walked in, and he was barking again. As soon as we walked down the steps into the large auditorium that the obedience club divides up and uses for classrooms, this woman, who I saw ordering some people around, came up to me, got in my face, and yelled " if you can't stop him from barking, you will never be allowed to come back here again!" Thinking that she was a club official or an instructor, I allowed her to grab Wolfie's collar. She then gave him a couple of corrections with the prong collar. He kept barking anyways, and she HIT HIM on the muzzle! She's **** lucky that he didn't bite her! Then she went over to Wolfie's instructor with a spray water bottle and told her to use it on Wolfie and walked away. I went right up to Wolfie's instructor and asked her who that woman was. She said she had no idea! I told her what the woman said and did and the instructor told me that she has no right to tell me that I can't come back and that I was welcome anytime. She also said she would never use the spray bottle on Wolfie, and that she doesn't believe in hitting dogs. She said she would talk to someone about it. Meanwhile, this woman had her dog in the advanced class next to us. I was waiting for the potty break to go and give her a piece of my mind, but she disappeared just as we were about to break, and didn't come back. I sent an email to the club and told them if they didn't do something about it, I am quitting and I want my money back. I just may quit anyways. There are plenty of other obedience schools around here.
