IF the trainer knows his or her stuff no aggressive dog will be in class or will get pulled so an accident does not happen.
IF the trainer knows her stuff no dog will always be on the bottom or the class get split so that the ones needsing a gentler play are with themselves and the ones needing rough are on their own.
There is no reason that your puppy can not scooped up and sit in your arms and watch from a safe place.

Good Post. We took puppy training classes at PetSmart and had a great time & learned a lot. Diva's fav buddy was a Mastiff. There was also a Rott and other mid & small dogs there. I loved the trainer we had. She has big and small dogs. I feel it's a good idea to have a few conversations witht he trainer you'll have before to get a good feeling of how well they really are dealing with all types of dogs & of course, I would hope that if any dog showed agression, be it big or small, would not be able to attend the class. Most importantly, my eyes were on her(& the other dogs if needed) at all times.
Brittany - glad you got your money back...sounds like he's doing quite well!!
