I have a 5 month old female puppy that I was doing really well with socializing. A few weeks ago I enrolled her in the puppy class at Petsmart mainly for that. She has a brother and sister bassett hound mix puppies in her class and that's all. These dogs are constantly barking, jumping around... and it totally flips her out. She has been around other dogs but never that crazy. The man brings a can with coins that he is always shaking to try to get the dogs to stop barking. Anyway at the end of the first class the woman asked me if her dog could meet mine. I said sure, my dog is fine with other dogs. As I said that both her and her husband let go of both the dog's leashes and they ran over to my baby and completely overwhelmed her and she went under the chair. I didn't think they would just let go of their leashes. She wasn't hurt and I picked her up right away after she got scared but ever since then she absolutely hates the classes. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing taking here there anymore. I want to socialize her but I think it's backfired on me. I need some advice please on what I should do. I thought this would be something fun for her and that she would enjoy but she hates all the chaos and yelling and is now terrified of the other two dogs. Any suggestions please?
