I usually tape this show along with dogtown, Dog whisperer and its me or the dog. Just watched the show from last night and I'm really sad and angry
I swear when they brought that sheltie to a horse farm, I just knew it would not end well. Its one thing to train a dog to respect large animals in a certain environment, but you cannot eliminate their high prey drive.
Even as I was still watching it midway, when the 2 guys came to the farm and I saw cars zooming in the distance, my stomach sank and I've had a very ominous feeling the whole time watching it, I just knew this was not a suitable place for such a high energy dog. He would have been much better off with someone who does agility or disc sports, even to someone who could have trained him to be a herding dog. This was an entirely innapropriate home from him, I'm saddened that the trainer did not see the obvious.
RIP Little Chase
