“You can sometimes tell how clueless a person is by how they handle their dog,” wise words from the owner of a once difficult dog .

I laughed so hard when she said this in class last night… it was a real knee slapper. This was after I saw the collar and chuckled for a bit. I love students that have a sense of humor.

The people who say, “my dog’s friendly” as their off leash (unreliable and untrained) dog runs up on you and your dog. “It’s fine,” as the dog is barking and lunging as it approaches you and your dog. The dog that hangs out off leash in the yard until it decides to bum rush you as you walk by. The folks on trails or at the beach that have their untrained dog off leash without an e-collar and yell, “she’s nice!,” as you reply you don’t care and they need to control their dog. “He just wants to say hi!,” as their dog is literally growling and baring teeth. If the aforementioned group isn’t “clueless” then we can perhaps agree to use a six letter word that starts with “s” and ends with “d” in place of “clueless”.

Listen, if you’ve got control and reliability I’m not going to be a jerk about your off leash dog. If you don’t have control and reliability, I am going to be a jerk if your off leash dog infringes on my space, especially if I’ve got a dog out to work.
