She may not have been a hater per se, but in Hades new group class there was a lady that complained because he wasn't muzzled. She was "uncomfortable" with him the class. Hades did bark and growl a few times, he feels he has to "police" everyone. If someone jumps on my trainer, he immediately thinks they're trying to hurt her, if another dog barks at another dog, he feels he *must* intervene before someone gets hurt! LOL.
But during 99% of the class he is more than focused at the tasks on hand.
She tried to avoid us most of the lesson during heeling and such. But I saw the light go on in her head during the SFE. Hades has a better SFE than Roxy. Very "showy", stands quite square on his own, perks his ears and stares straight ahead at me. When my trainer went to examine, she fully examines him teeth and all, well not his empty sack but you know what I mean LMAO
We do it individually, so all eyes were on us. When she goes to examine his teeth, she got a lovely kiss right on the snapper! As soon as she approached him as well, his tail began wagging, although he didn't move a foot! LOL
After during the serpentine heeling, she commented on his focus and super quick and straight his swings were. Also, that his growling did not appear aggressive at all, more worried than anything.
About halfway through, maybe a bit longer, she stopped avoiding us like we were the plague! LOL. So, I hope that her mind has changed about us, and pitbulls in general. Hades made a great showing of an obedience dog though tonight!
