UNIMPRESSED - Page 1

i came on this board about two months ago asking for advice for my pup who had beome vocal towards other dogs when out due to witnessing a nasty dog fight. It has recently been brought to my knowledge that someone is spreading rumours that my pup is handler aggresssive which is complete and utter rubbish. She is the best most laid back dog i've had, she's amazingly soft with both me my husband and our children. She hasn't a bad bone in her body.

I'm utterly disgusted that someone could be so nasty as to spread such malicious rumours about someone who has come on a supposedly knowledgable board asking for advice about a problem that is now happily resolved. Whoever you are i hope karma comes back to bite you in the butt. You should be ashamed of yourself. And with this i am no longer visiting this board or any other forums as it seems people who come on here are more interested in spreading lies than being true dog people. I bid you adieu

Some one posted here that your dog was handler aggressive?  I haven't seen it violet, but than again, to me, there are much worse rumours one could spread about ones dog.   Hope you will reconsider.

it wasn't posted on here. Someone has taken my thread on training advice twisted it and is now bad mouthing my girls sire all over the place saying he produced a handler aggressive dog. If it was just me being slated i wouldn't be so fussed but unfortunately whoever it is has taken it further...unbelieveable. I can't believe that ome would be so vindictive. I feel like its my fault for asking people advice. I was trying to get different idea to approach the problem only to have it turned on the breeder!! whoever it is seriously needs to get a life

Welcome to the real world violet,
9 out of 10 people you meet are not worth knowing, I wouldn't let it bother you.
Just seek out the tenth person.

Sometimes this board can be harsh but when you get advice its not always what you want to hear. 
I have read the other thread and don't see any mention of  handler aggression other than you asking about scruffing???
You asked for help and from what I can see you got some sound advice.
Lots of people on this board and other boards know each other, and some know the truth which is not always posted on the messageboards.

Violet, we do not know who you are. How could someone here start a rumor. Train your dog, trial your dog, show whoever it was that started the rumor that they had a false idea. Remember no one is an expert on you, but you. Let it go.
Always,
Cee

this doesn't just affect me though, someone spreading these lies, it also affects people who have litters by this same dog. My girl is almost completely over her 'issue' by clever use of distraction and rewards. The only reason i say almost is because some idiot woman with a border collie allows her dog off lead when she knows its aggressive and we've had run in's with her a few times. I've had words with her and informed her i will be reporting her to the dog warden if she allows her dog to continue. Her dog attacking my rescue dog was the reason it took so long for him to overcome his nervousness.

there is no truth that is not posted on here, my pup is the best dog i've ever had, she is truly everything i would want in a GSD, which is why i cannot understand why someone seems to have some sort of a vendetta. Your right tigermouse, the only mention of 'handler aggression' was me worrying because someone suggesting scruffing which i was worried could lead to HA. i don't believe in physically chastising a young puppy, it can break all bonds of trust.

The reason i never mentioned her sire was because i was trying to get to the bottom of the problem without it reflecting badly on her parents who are fantastic dogs also. I didn't want his name bandied about by just anyone. The people i've met in shepherds seemed to be nice people. I don't know who started this but i will get to the bottom of it. I don't think i'll be able to trust anyone again, i've already been burned once this year already by someone i trusted, it seems my judge of character has been seriously flawed this last year.

If you say the rumour came from this site , then you must know who it is, other than that you are just guessing and sumising the person came from here, If you think by joining any site you are going to be treated like a Flower , excuse the Pun' then you are in for a shock for some here will be downright blunt if a silly question is asked or you start moaning,
Now do not get me wrong, i am not one of those nasty peoiple, i am a gentleman who would never upset a lady
Forget it and get on with the job of training your Pup
