awww Hannah...poor you.
All I can say though is a friend of mine took a pup to classes I was also at. My pup was perfect ( he was...nothing to do with me, just one of those dogs, I was soooooo lucky!) and hers was norty.
I LOVED classes, she hated them as she thought everyone was judging her and watching her. They really weren't, I know that for sure, but she THOUGHT they were and wouldn't go anymore as it was too stressful.
We can read things into how people look at us, and often they are thinking something entirely different.It's what you're thinking that you are putting into their eyes! I know that, 'cos I've also been thrown out of a class with a really norty pup that disturbed it and wouldn't settle for love nor money, nor cheese! Peoples looks, that could have been interpreted as looking down on us, were actually sympathy and 'oh my word, I'm glad that's not me' or 'poor so and so I've so been there!'
Try not to think about what they're thinking or doing, the class is about you and loki, try to enjoy it, e won't be a pup for much longer....

aw Hannah,

I know how you feel! I even feel judged because I don't show Takara as much as people would like me to! Yes okay it may be a 'waste' because she's such a good show bitch but she's my baby first and I'm skint so can't afford to enter!!!

Keep your chin up - remember at least your dog has character! Those that are stood perfectly look sooooooo boring!!!

Try to stick it out,as everyone else has said Loki is still a baby.I would feel like you though it takes a lot of courage to go and you have as much right as anyone else to be there.He will probably end up being the best behaved dog there.

Thanks everyone! I am probably too sensitive to what other people think when it comes to Loki, its funny cause normally I dont care what other people think if they dont like me how they are that their problem not mine. But when it comes to Loki I find it dificult to ignore peoples looks and hate the thought of him being judge as anything other than the wonderful clever pup that he is!
I am going to make sure I ignore the looks and concentrate only on my boy next week, the reason I picked Loki is because he has character and I love that in him, so what if others dont! We have our first show next sunday so that should be interesting! its only a small local one but will be good practice for Loki!
