YES, definitely! We LOVE going to class. It's great fun both for Joey and for me.
For the "come" command, do you reward profusely (& with yummy treats) when Oliver does obey? I think it's
very important that "come" be highly rewarded! Something to be careful of with the "come" command is that you aren't using it to end his fun - you know, "come" we have to go inside now, "come" & let me take that forbidden item away from you, "come" so I can put you in your crate. A trainer told me that 75 - 90% of all "comes" need to be met with only good consequences. That means ALOT of "comes" just to get a treat!
