We are wondering how we will get on at training classes

Our training class tonight. Haven't been to classes in a long time, didn't with our last bitch but having taken on an adult rescue with some naughty traits, thought I needed the self discipline that comes with classes. My husband thinks all 3 of us will be sat in the corner with a D on our hats!!!

Aww ruby, that's crazy talk!! Seriously, you've done them before, just not for a while, so you know what to expect, I'm sure.
Hope it goes well for you :)

For what its worth, I suggest that one of you does the training, as two people can give very different commands and body language, which can confuse the dog. If neccessary, let one train first for a few weeks, then the other do a course afterwards. Or else get another dog!

Training classes should be fun for you and the dog. Don't forget to take some titbits for rewards.

Thank you for your answers.

As an update. My girl was brilliant.
My main reason for going was to encourage positive socialisation. Because of her previous experiences of being with gypsies/travellers and the dog rescue, she lacks in social skills, (she loves other dogs but is very vocal which sometimes puts others off).
So the 3 of us were not in the corner.

Lankeela, yes I took the treats but I am not sure that they expected me to have a glass of wine every time I did well!!!!
