[Paisley-n-Me]

I called Petsmart a couple of weeks ago and signed Paisley up for the obedience class. My mother-in-law is also going to go and take her Chihuahua puppy. When I called and signed up I didn't get to talk to the trainer, instead I spoke with one of the store managers. She signed me up for the "beginner's" class starting tonight.

A few days ago I spoke with the actual trainer and found that the beginner's class is for puppies and dogs that over 5 months old who have not had any previous obedience training. There is another class called the "puppy" class that is for puppies ages 10 weeks to 5 months old. This is the class that Paisley and Sassy (chihuahua) should have been put in instead of the beginner class.
When I found this out I wanted to change classes, but the trainer said there was only one other yorkie in the class who was a little older than 5 months and since both the beginner and the puppy class teach the same thing, it would be fine to leave it.
Now, last night I get a call from the trianer as a reminder of the class. She informs me that there will now be 5 in the class. The new one's added are a 9 month old German Shepherd and a 3 year old Boxer.

I am concerned about the older/bigger dogs in this class with our little puppies. What do you all think?

I asked if we could do a different class and get into an actual "puppy" class. Which she said we can, but the problem is they don't have any starting for another week. This won't work because my mother-in-law lives in South Dakota and they come here to Illinois in the summer for a few months to visit/live and they have to leave on Nov. 3rd to go back to South Dakota because of their ranch/cattle and Kenney (her husband) does organized Elk hunts for people. So he has to be back for the season. The way it is now, she is having to miss the very last class. If we schedule any later she'll miss the last 2 classes.

I am kind of aggrivated that the manager who put us in the wrong class and didn't tell me there was a Tuesday night "puppy" class starting the week before. I'm wondering...Does she not know the difference in "puppy" and "beginner" classes? I didn't know, but I don't work there. I don't even get to go to petsmart very often because it's so far away from us.
The trainer said we should have been put in the "puppy" class.

We are driving 70 miles each way to go to the classes. I just want it to be a good experience for us.

Any input from ya all would be appreciated. I just don't know about the older dogs with us. I'm going to at least go over tonight and see how it goes.
