I would absolutely NOT be in a class so out of control and with large dogs. You will only have problems getting her to focus on you and it will be frustrating for both of you.

Archie has a very good suggestion and you can take her to pet stores to practice what you learned at home. If you feel you really need to be in a class with other dogs, please look for one geared for the smaller dog.
