Get over it all ready.
Every agility class I've been to has a somewhat different vibe. Some are all business, some very cliquish, some will chat it up the whole hour if given the chance.
Kittie, Abby and I decided to switch nights, same location & instructor, but a different group and totally different vibe. This ended up being the 99% traditional agility dog group. Dogs that bark, and don't scream, proper agility dogs apparently should not scream, or take treats like starved wolves.
I know all of these people, have for years...just have never been in class with them as a group. It felt like the entire topic of conversation revolved around how "troll-like" my dogs are........ They weren't even particularly noisy. Abby gets scared if big dogs get too close to her crate, and Kittie goes berserk right before she runs, they sound kind of funny. I expect people who have never heard them to comment, but really after five or so years, can't people just get over it.

man do I ever understand that! I get it everytime I go somewhere and since I've been doing some pretty hard core seminars lately, sometimes we don't fit in with the rest of the group. And I'm always getting noise comments. :-) Aoife is a barker and a grunter
How have I made it this far without too much fuss??
When we first started trialing, I heard about it, but not in a mean way...they *do* sound different and to comment isn't a big deal, but to go on and on after knowing me and my dogs for years is ridiculous.
You should hear Sidney. When we're at class, Jasper goes first. Sidney fusses and carries on since he wants to come out to train and have fun too. It really gets to Sidney when I'm praising Jasper. Boy is he ready to go when it's his turn.
When I take Jasper for a short walk around our neighborhood, I leave Sidney in the house with my mom. He howls for Jasper and me. My mom says it is the cutest thing. I don't take them together because there are some idiots in the neighborhood that don't have control of their dogs. I can't pick up two dogs if there is a dog that is threatening their safety. So one at a time.
You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
