Ha! I wish I had that confidence back in the day. I stand up for myself and my new pup now, but it took a lot of practice to hold my ground with people who were "just trying to help."
Oh geez, the number of people who tried to teach me how to train Bella when she was a puppy. Luckily, I've always been the mouthy sort and I would clap back, "So tell me what you know about livestock guardian dogs and how they're different from retrievers and Labs." It more often than not ended the conversation quickly.
