I had an "interesting" conversation with a Petsmart "trainer" about Cher today.
Seriously, how can you say that, and then not tell us what happend?
Because it probably won't make much sense once the Forum Word Censor kicks in...
Thank you Paige. I know have lemonade on my computer...
Chelsea, it was just stupidity on the "trainer"'s part. All of our guys have a "sprawl" command where they lay out, broadside, on the floor. I had Cher sprawled out on the floor in PetSmart yesterday while I was picking through cans of cat food to find the flavor that the cat will actually eat. The trainer, whose name badge said "PetSmart...Daniel...Dog Trainer-in training" walked up & immediately told me that my dog wasn't "doing down right." I ignored his first comment, & told him to go away. Then he decided that it was a good idea to point out the "wrong down" again. I asked him if "Dog Trainer-in training" meant that he hadn't read the entire manual yet? After that, he decided to tell me that I was "completely confusing your dog by not teaching it properly". (Cher was still sprawled at this time.) I told him that she wasn't in a down, she was in a sprawl, which was exactly what I had asked for. Apparently he didn't comprehend, because he, then, tried to explain what a proper down looked like. At that point, I was getting pissed, so I called Cher up from her sprawl & into a down, which she knows how to do. He looked at her, & then told me that the down wasn't right because she wasn't totally down on her hip. Ummmm no, she's in a proper down.
At any rate, he wanted to argue, & I wanted to insult him, so we went at it until he decided to try to win the arguement by yelling over me. The manager & one of his assistant managers ended up coming over to see what the problem was. They ended up having to remove the trainer in training because he was too stupid to shut up & leave. It attracted a small crowd, left the trainer looking like a jerk, & left the managers scrambling to do damage control.
