Was interested in the Beginners dog training class because of website information. Trainers were nice and apparently knowledgable. However, classes were held in a basketball gym, extremely noisy acoustics and two other classes going on at same time. Could only hear a fraction of what instructor was saying, so unclear what I was suppose to be doing sometimes. Some individual instruction, but large enough class and noisy, so difficult to ask for help or be clear what was being ask of me and my dog. Also mostly treat oriented, which makes it difficult in the real world, when dog won't respond if there isn't a treat involved. Shamed, by instructors, for not being interesting enough or not excited and positive enough or not having the tastiest treats enough (used treats suggested by instructors) to gain his attention, when my dog didn't pay attention to me. Will try another type of training somewhere else when can afford another class or maybe individual training. Attempted to gain as much from this class as possible and do think I got some helpful info. After the first meeting, no refund, so felt obligated to finish going, though dreaded going, not fun for me, so apparently not fun for the dog either (extreme noise, extreme number of distractions).
