Knowing the type of club you're talking about? I think if you let the state management know about this experience, they'd be up for rolling out better info to their various clubs about ADs. Particularly since in those venues specifically, there's an even higher chance that the person with the AD is a returned vet.One better might be to write a letter to the owner/management team.
The last time I took on an organisation via management over the way me and my AD had been treated by their staff, and asked for confirmation they were going to plan and implement better education to their staff (and that's all staff, from management to graveyard shift cleaners), I was happily surprised with the outcome.
I'm sorry you had this experience. Seems to be part and parcel of having an AD, but it doesn't make it any easier. I'm always on edge for at least a week after aggressive encounters with my dog.
