I personally find the dogs do better without the distraction of other dogs and their people, the excitement of the setting. You and your dog can probably achieve more with a good sound obedience program you've just read about. Often the trainers at the pet stores, etc., are young people that aren't that good or even give the best advice, really, though I'm sure some of the programs are great. But whatever works for you and your dog is what you should do. I just enjoy it so much because the dogs have such fun actually getting to use their brains and work with their owner getting something done. They eat it up!
