[nagdu] Lisa and All: Bill of Rights

[Sheila Leigland]

Hello, I was told that I didn't know how to leash correct and that was at the home interview after the walk. I wouldn't have known how to leash correct because I had never had a dog before. How much sense does that make? I found out later that an issue had to do with my weight and they felt that I didn't walk enough so needed to build up my endurance. I decided that I wasn't sure what reason they would come up with next so decided to try somewhere else and was given a chande.

Lyn,

Yeah.  Out here on the west coast, I find it easy to get a view of some of
GDB's stuff because they're so local.  Especially since I live so near the
Boring campus.  So I get all sorts of myths and legends along with real
anecdotes and correct information from puppy raisers, consumers, and even
occasional staff and trainers.  That's if they don't find out I'm a dreaded
owner-trainer before they make the mistake of talking to me.  /lol/  At
which point they stop and walk away or tell me just what a horrible thing it
is that I am doing/have done and then stalk away.  Probalby to give their
own trainees a bath in case they picked up owner-trainer cooties from Mitzi
