Re: Irritated and in need of advice

I feel the need to chime in here-as for your girls size-my girl is 5 years old, and a healthy 80lbs. I get comments ALL the time, "she's so skinny", how old is your "puppy", etc. I just take them with a grain of salt-I usually make a comment that I'd rather be lean and fast then fat and slow.
As for the trainer getting your girl riled up-being a trainer myself-I will only encourage a dog to jump on me if I know the owner is fine with it and the dog is NOT working on calmly greeting people. For that part-I think the trainer was out of line-she is your dog. Only you can decide when she needs to lighten up-there are other ways to have fun without letting the dog jump up.
Just my 2 cents!
