hey! yeah that guy is duke ferguson, i looked into his training but it's WAY too expensive.
are you still going to this fay lady? i called her yesterday and chewie and i are sitting in on tonight's class to see how he reacts to other dogs. he's nervous around them, i know that, but if he's okay tonight then i think i'm going to put him in, even though the class is already started. she said she's not starting a new class until september (wtf?)
anyway do you have msn?? add me if you do! it's kellyhollett@hotmail.com.
yeah i'm still in the class. i think she doesnt teach during the summer cause that's when she shows or something. or she just takes it off or i dunno haha :'d. I think i might keep with the class atleast until i get riley's canine good neighbor certificate. she told me she might be teaching rally-o in august at the earliest and if i can figure out my own way to teach it i might enroll in that too. dunno yet.
if there's one thing i love about her it's her enthusiastic dislike for duke ferguson. it was funny listening to her rant about how bad of a trainer he is. i'm not judging the guy since i dont know him, but anyone who opts for the shock collar under every single circumstance and doesnt train in a secure environment definately doesnt get my vote :c hope things turn out for you in your training endevors. i'll add you to my msn : )
oh yeah, and i was gonna say this too - apparently duke holds his training sessions at victoria park, which isn't closed in, and the dogs have to be off leash (with the shock collars they use, i guess). this was another reason i didn't go with him. i'd be terrified having chewie anywhere that isn't fenced in. plus it's so easy for him to get stepped on, etc. so i can totally see how that bite incident happened - they're just in an open area at the park. but wow - crazy!
