Nanny dogs not nuisances

Bundy is a four year old mixed bully breed with a lot of love for his human friends. He attends obedience classes twice a week and easily wins over even the most cautious guests in his owner, Tyler’s, home.

Bundy is dog reactive and as such, one of the classes he attends is specifically tailored to help with this. It is his general obedience class, however, in which Bundy has run into issues.

Due to his reactivity, Bundy is kept muzzled both for his protection and for that of the other dogs present. Being a responsible owner, Tyler has no problem with this.

What she does take offence to, however, is that while there are two other reactive dogs present, Bundy is the only one who is actually required to wear a muzzle.

Tyler feels that Bundy has been singled out due to his appearance, as one of the trainers went out of their way to point out that dog reactivity is “very common” among Pit Bulls which is what they feel Bundy “obviously is”.

To add context, the other two dog reactive animals in the class are a Jack Russell type and a Cavalier type.

Glossary:

• #T8Family refers to the teams which are managed by Triple Eight Race Engineering – Red Bull Racing Australia (RBRA) and Team Vortex.
• Jamie Whincup and Shane van Gisbergen race for RBRA. Craig Lowndes races for Team Vortex.
• In this instance the term triple-lockout is being used to describe one team filling the podium. The #T8Family did this in races two and three and had two members on the podium for races one and four.
