It was a fun show last night. I think the judges made the right call. That lady was sooo annoying with her constant verbal corrections and I agree she was too harsh with her dog. She made some reference to this being good experience for her business. I hope it's not dog training! LOL The dog that impressed me the most was the boxer. He did really well I thought. Personally I hate the 'baby talk'. He seems like a really nice guy but a little whimpy if you ask me. What did you think about the girl who put a dress on her dog? I've never really liked seeing dogs dressed up but to be honest I thought it was appropriate for that challenge and I think the judges were a little hard on her. She really should have just listened to their comments without making excuses IMO. It just shows you how sensitive people are when it comes to their relationship with their dog. And then there is Elvis. It is so obvious that the problem is 200% with the owner. If your dog runs off and you praise it and love it up - well of course the dog is going to continue! I was nice to see the other owners giving him advice. Unfortunately he doesn't get it.
I couldnt agree more with you!!! But I was smitten with the cute Boxer guy, LOL. I dislike baby talk also but it was almost cute coming from him......if it woulda came from one of those two prissy girls I would have been more annoyed, ha ha!
I think teh judges were hard on the lady who dressed up her dog but I think that was a reflection of their frusteration with her in general and they were trying to find a reason to pick on her. Her and the mini schnauzer owner just get under my skin and are a example of my least favorite type of dog owner. DH said that maybe the judges went overboard about the dress to send a message to dog owners at home. Which brings me to my next debate with DH......
He was a bit dissapointed in the performance of the dogs on the show as a whole. He was making the point that there are a gazillion more special and super dogs in the world. My argument was that it really seems like they were shooting for the average dog owner or at least a standard of the basic obediance MOST dogs should have. I mean if they had a bunch of super dogs on there then the average dog owner would be lax in trying to achieve that example of the dogs on the show. I think by having average dogs on there the general public can look at them and say "hey, I can get my dog to do that" and maybe make a extra effort. I just think not all dog owners are of the same ilk of the members we have here on the forum, most I see in public are problematic ya know? I guess I'm just ranting.
It seems as if this episodes tasks were easier then last episodes. I was pretty confident Rory and Primo would have excelled throughought this whole episode......excluding the spin left, spin right .....we've never even attempted that but the right/left shake they know!
Oh I couldnt stop laughing at the bulldog when they put the food infront of his face, he looked so pitiful, LOL!
