My first GSD belonged to an old guy who had to go into a nursing home. When I took her to visit him, one of the other residents told me 'Alsatians' were the result of the Nazis crossing dogs and wolves!
Oh, and if you let a purebred bitch be bred by a mutt, or a dog of another breed, she'll be ruined, and never produce purebred pups...
There's a friend of mine who has had 4 dogs in the time I've known her. When I talked about my neutered male tying with my in-heat female, she hadn't a CLUE what I meant! "Why would you tie the dogs together?"
She's the same person who leaves her dog tied up to the post of the carport when she goes away for a few days. A neighbour comes and checks on the dog once or twice a day to make sure it hasn't wrapped its chain around the post, or spilled its food or water. Poor dog has shade, but otherwise no shelter from the weather.
She also put one of those bowl sanitizers in her toilet, one that turns the water blue. I asked her if she wanted to poison her dog, which frequently drank from the toilet.
"Don't dogs KNOW if something is poisonous?" she said.
Yeah. Try telling your vet that...

My trainer tells this story....
A former client wanted the name of a vet that would extract her dog's canines. Her dog was aggressive with her other dog, so she thought the best solution (instead of training)would be to pull out the aggressive dog's teeth. She was calling for a referral because her vet wouldn't do it.
A dog pee'd on a chair. To teach the dog who was dominant, the owner pee'd on top of the dog's pee - and then they tossed the chair.

A woman lets her male dog sleep on the bed. The dog snaps at her husband when he comes to bed, having drawn blood on several occasions. Refuses to crate the dog at night.
Not client/trainer related, but.... Was at a barnhunt this past weekend. Peeing, pooping, vomiting in the ring is an automatic DQ. While waiting for the even to start, a woman is telling me her male dog keeps getting DQ'd because it'll pee in the ring as soon as it's released. As she is telling this to me, her dog pee'd 3 times and of course she was oblivious.
Guy has a mini-bull terrier puppy. It sees my dog and gets riled up. The owner picks up the dog and tries to console it. I tell him that by consoling it he's going to make it dog aggressive. The guy says "oh" and keeps petting it. A year later, I hear the guy tell someone else that his mini bull terrier is...... dog aggressive.

A lady show up to our club with a "very expensive "(her words) PPD and wants our helper to do bite work with it.It is a show line imported from Germany (need I say more??) We ask her what training she has been doing with the dog and she states "stuff, the"bite work stuff", again we ask what specifically and she states he is trained in "all that stuff". Our helper does not know the dog so he asks her to take it behind the fence to give it a bite. It cowers, hides behind her and he could not get it to bite. She claims it is because of the fence so he has her take it out on the field. By this time is is showing signs of fatigue as it is clearly not done any physical activity in awhile. Our helper has to dance around and use all prey moves to even get the dog to engage. The owner was ecstatic cause it bit the rag he had claiming how it was awesome and would protect her anytime. She later told her daughter that after talking with the breeder that the fence was just the worst psychological trauma to the dogs and she should not train with us anymore.....riiiggghhht!

This is totally a true story, but sounds made up because it's so rediculous!!
I had a new client call. Guy adopted a Golden Retriever from some friend of a friend type of thing. He tells me the dog is very good with his three cats, good in the house, knows manners, ect. The issue, he says, is when the dog eats he growls if the cats come near. Then this guy tells me his dog also has bitten him twice for trying to be near the food bowl. At this point my interest is piqued. So I ask him what exactly happened the day he got bitten twice. He says he's a police officer, and his K9 unit friend/trainer told him to -- MOUNT -- the dog to show dominance when he was eating. (at this point I'm holding my nose laughing and trying not to let him know) So he proceeds to tell me he was bitten both times right after "mounting" the dog and holding onto his neck at the same time -- while the dog was eating.
So we make an appointment to do a behavior evaluation. At this point I'm not sure if I even believe this situation, but they guy seems very concerned and really wants me to come out. I tell him I don't do in-home evals without having my husband there. So he says that is OK with him, after all he's a cop and I should be careful.
So, at our appointment I meet him and the dog. And I do the regular observations of the dogs behavior with and without influence of the owner. Then I ask him, to show me what was going on when he got bitten because I really was unsure of what "mounting" was to HIM. I couldn't believe someone actually mounted a dog for anything at all... So he gives the dog some food, and I ask him to show me what he did, of course without actually touching the dog. And he then approximates putting his leg over the hips of the dog -- and--- starts air humping. I am NOT KIDDING he actually showed me he even hip trusted. I start laughing, I couldn't help it. My husband gives me a scathing look to tell me to shut up. I tell the client that if he tried to hump me while I was eating I'd bite him too. But he really did need help, a lot of help. And I told him not to take advice from the "K9 trainer" at work because I think he was just kidding about the mounting thing.
Anyway we had private lessons for a few months while he repaired his relationship with the dog and worked out the kinks. I never refered to this client by name unless to his face. I always called him "The Mounty" haha!!

Client asked, "how can I get people to stop looking at my dog when I walk him? When they make eye contact with my dog, he barks and lunges at them".

Years ago I sold a puppy to some people that spoke Spanish (they also spoke English)...They heard me give some commands to my dogs in German...They asked if the dogs were "Bilingual" ...I had to stop and think about it...Then they asked if the puppy would speak in Spanish too...Dah...
