I have a similar problem to a thread posted earlier. My pup is 3 months and I took her to her first class last Sunday. Unfortunately, in my small city only one place offers doggie obedience. The last thread suggested small breed puppy class, but I don't have that option. There were 4 Giant Schnauzer pups in the class
, who were very aggressive. One bit my arm and cut my skin! Part of the class is off leash where the pups "play" together. Pancake was so scared, all the pups were after her (3 schnauzers were cornering her) and the instructor yelled at me twice for picking her up! What's a mother to do? There was only one pup smaller than Pancake who is 3 pounds - a 1.5 pound chiwawa, but the schnauzers weren't interested in him. My pup was the only one trying to escape the room. I don't know whether to go back (I did spend 161 dollars) because Pancake bit me so hard today when I was trying to take a big ball of dirt out of her mouth (she has never bitten my like that before, I take lots out of her mouth - she has growled and tried to stop me from taking it, but never biting!). The cut was really deep. I didn't know how to punish her (I was dissapointed, not angry). I said firmly "no biting" as I always do when she bites and tapped her on the nose and put her in her kennel. I don't know if she got the point. Any suggestions?
