Iris, I sent you a private message in regard to my own availabiltiy (want to honor the rules of this board). In the meantime, I also emailed a trainer friend of mine I've come to rely on to help me with my agility training. Both she and her sister competed in competiion level obedience with Poms for many years before turning to agility and she is someone who has helped me work through training issues with my own dog. I'd feel very confident in referring her to you if we can't work something out.
In the meantime, I'd gladly help you out through this message board and share your issues with the board so that, perhaps, we can help other people out as well. To begin with, I'd like to know what you dog already knows and what he doesn't. Ideally, I'd like to see him learn attention and "look" before heeling and sit and down.
If you don't mind me asking, where was the school that you attended the class? The "horrible" place I went to that one time was in Franklin Square. While I don't know anything in your immediate area, there are good number of great places within a reasonable drive from your home: Whiteplains, CT, Staten Island, and New Jersey.
