[Trouble1]

For the record, no I didn't go ballistic back to the instructor, I remained very calm and tried to look for some positive out of the critisim. I was a former competitive althlete and am used to being aggressively "coached" without getting emotional about it.

However, there was no question that the instructor definitely lost it, and spent the entire duration of the long down stay chewing out me and my dog and rotties in general. It is only because of my lack of animosity that she is allowing me to attend her next class to see what progress I have made with my dog in the week. However, I am still barred from attending any sanction matches or obedience trials at her facility.

I agree that the grumbling has to stop, its getting it to stop consistently that is the issue and hopefully some of you good folks out there have some other suggestions for me because I am more than willing to try them.
