And before I get those "Oh, prong collars are terrible" comments, please save yourself the breath. You don't know what you're talking about.

I'm glad you walked out. I hope you call her and let her know just what it is that you disagreed w/ so she can decide how to better herself and/or her training.
You use choke collars on Yorkies?! I can't believe you do that. Wow

And I'm sorry xDaisy'sMummyx. I wouldn't go back either and you should demand a refund. That woman should have separated the dogs and not allowed such a situation as your dog being attacked to have arisen. You should report her to whatever dog training association she belongs to.

Edit: I see you're in the UK. I'm wondering if that was a Petsmart class you went to... In any event, you should definitely report her. She shouldn't be training dogs on choke leads
