The size of the room had a lot to do with it. We had 5 dogs (including the trainer's dog) and 8 adults. There was no room for them to socialize or even move. The trainer never had us unleash our dogs so they could explore each other. Everybody kept their dogs on a short leash right next to their chairs.
