Shanna, I just wanted to let you know that when I had Monster in training, there was only one other dog. And in one level, he was the only one. I don't know how it will be up where you are, but you might not have to worry about other dogs in the class. Also, if there are other dogs, the dogs stay on leash while training and its a very controlled environment when its all older dogs. You can ask any trainer at petsmart anything you want to know and they should be able to help you even if you're not in the classes. I would ask them how they think he would handle it and maybe ask about the other dogs in the class you're interested in. Also, they can help you with deciding what kind of harness, leash, halti to use. I use a harness with Monster.
Hope this helps.

His neck is just too small and I do not want to injur him. He wears a harness for walks, collar for tags only. What about a halti? Remember he is aggressive (bites) when he does not want to do something you want him to do. How to handle him under these conditions without getting bit? Or do you think its best to take him to Petsmart for training? He does not like other dogs, or people. :( Shanna & Ricky Las Vegas Nevada!! My Chi Ricky...
