That would be the last time I'd be at that class and I'd demand a refund!
Definately look elsewhere or train yourself. I've always trained my pups myself. It's not hard to do if you make the time and are consistent and praise them. There are plenty of books on training as well as videos. Read and watch them all and chose the methods you agree with. To me it's alot like parenting....there are many ways to raise kids...but some methods get the desired result by building up their self-esteem & some break them by breaking it down. I don't want a neurotic dog anymore than I'd want neurotic kids...so I personally prefer methods that use positive reinforcement.
