I'm sure it's necessary to get the dogs to these events, I don't know a more humane way to do it, but. man. I wanted that to not happen.rachelhttp://ddaykapow.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180993925063400080.post-43449465097742062022012-02-21T10:18:48.168-05:002012-02-21T10:18:48.168-05:00I know!

The trainer was doing her best I am sure to train the dog, but I think when the dog jumps to the point of reaching your shoulder, standing there and looking at it but not petting it maybe isn't going far enough? It doesn't seem like enough of an ignore for me - it was clearly not having a big effect on the dog, maybe she should have turned and walked away also? I mean, I am not a dog trainer, so what do I know?<br /><br />I do intend to try and do another one after the move is over, but it was reasonably depressing. I came home afterwards and was kinda sad for a while. I'm going to try and get B to come with me when we get closer to being able to adopt.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811861092889775176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180993925063400080.post-91273479576736366152012-02-21T09:45:32.992-05:002012-02-21T09:45:32.992-05:00aww that is so sad. I had a similar issue with the...aww that is so sad. I had a similar issue with the dog I was handling last time I helped out at an adoption event. every time he saw his foster mom (who I think boards a lot of the dogs), he would pull like crazy to get to her and then he would stand up and give her a great big hug, which she encouraged with lots of ear scratching and hugs and whatnot.. I wish she wouldn't allow her fosters to jump on her like that, it seemed to freak out a lot of the people there looking to adopt..<br /><br />also, when I first saw this post I thought you had adopted a dog already! sneaky.d-dayhttp://ddaykapow.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
