advice on teaching the ignorant. - Page 2

The kind of training I do does not end when the leash comes off.   Thats not training.
Point is I doubt that this person could be convinced that the dog has needs to be addressed and you should mention it but don't expect for it to sink in.

hodie - There was no other dog in the home, and like I said, in a situation like this, it is obvious that the owner of this dog simply lied to the breeder.

crysbuck25 - In my opinion, you could not have stated it better. I thought about taking the dog and working her to sharpen her up, but if I got the respect I need from her, that is exactly where it would end, I - and I alone - would have the respect...not the lady that lets her get away with this.

I talked to her again this evening, and I pretty much threw my hands up when she said " When I brought her in to the vet the other day, she jumped up on the counter and knocked down a few things, but I cant help that she likes the lady that works there."

I just wanted to yell "Unacceptable!!! She is 11 months old! She should not be behaving like this!"
But I have decided that I am going to shut my mouth and let the whole thing just take its course....

Hodie, I would never intentionally sell a dog to a person that is that uneducated about what the dog needs.   I've found out the hard way that folks can be very good at making themselves look better than they are.   

It sounds like this breeder has tried to give her advice but it's being ignored.  There is not much you can do as a breeder in that case other than offer to take the dog back and rehome it for her.  Since she thinks everything is A-OK that doesn't look like an option either.

Unfortunately, the dog will be the one to suffer when she ends up biting someone or knocking over a child.
