It's a kennel club. Shouldn't they know what they are doing? |
The instructor at the class I am going to is a high level agility trainer. She recommends the use of certain equipment that she has had success with but does not REQUIRE it.
If you are interested in taking the classes, then call and talk with the instructor. If he/she knows anything about yorkies then they will be familiar with the collapsing trachea problem.
Just because it is a "kennel club" doesn't mean that they are experienced in the training of small dogs. good luck..... keep me posted, I am really intrested.
