This is a terrible story, hope it has a happy ending. Hard for kids to understand stuff like this.

We have a direct mailer going out tomorrow to the area where our dog was lost, so maybe tomorrow will be the day we find her. The trainer texted me and apologized for not communicating well. We will talk next week, and I'll keep this thread updated about what transpires next.

Man that really sucks. You seem to be handling it better than I would. Tragic accidents happen but the way he has handled the situation since is just ridiculous.

D McB..... Please explain how the trainer employees taking down signs? They had no right taking down any signs. Can the man please get his money back? Oh and how about coming outside and talking to the owner of the dog instead of staying in the house. I'm going to post up on some other boards, we need to get the word out and help find the dog.

We will talk next week, and I'll keep this thread updated about what transpires next. Some 30 years ago I had a similar experience with a trainer in Lubbock. I was broke and couldn't afford to do anything about it. Your situation is much more horrific as your child is involved. Ergo, you have my sympathy. LET'S BE CLEAR - Apologizing for not communicating well with a TEXT MESSAGE is the most cowardly thing I've ever heard of. A call asking your forgivness, and if your hunting buddy couldn't be found, an offer to take your pick out of a prize litter would be in order. Included w/ future training would have been the correct answer. If that hadn't been enough to appease the loss, as an outsider looking in, I wouldn't hold it against the training kennel. People make mistakes. The measure of their character is how they resolve their mistakes. I steer clear of folks with questionable character. In this case, with what has been discslosed thus far, the kennel in question would not get my business.

I completely understand that unfortunate things happen. The dog being lost is terrible and who knows if the trainer is really at fault for losing the dog. I am not saying he is or he isn't and I don't think that's the real issue here.
But he is definitely at fault for not doing everything he can to make the situation right. I am not a professional trainer by any means but after people see my dog work they want me to train their pup. I have done so several times and currently have a dog living with me right now. If for some reason she ran off or I lost her I would do EVERYTHING I could to find her. If I couldn't find her, I would do EVERYTHING I could to make the best out of a terrible situation. I would be the one putting out the flyers not TAKING THEM DOWN! I would be offering to not only give the money back but maybe even a little more!
TexasBB, you're handling this a lot better than most of us would. This guy sounds to me like a real piece of work.

Alright, everyone's had their say. Let's return to talking about migratory bird hunting.
