Well I took Jesse for his first day of intermediate training class today. First when I arrived it was a different trainer than who we wanted and signed up to have (she relocated), then when we arrived in the class we noticed every single dog there were all problem dogs - except Jesse - Jesse was the only one that was calm, cool and collected. Just before class Jesse was bite by a Boston Terrior that walked by him who was heading to the class.... I will continue but I refuse to have Jesse in any contact with the other dogs.

That's too bad they switched trainers on you, but you can't keep her from relocating. Hopefully the new one will be as good.

There is no reason for your dog to come in contact with any dog in class. This is a lesson for you to never let your dog come in contact with any strange dog in any environment as you never know what it's going to do.

Dog school is for you to train your dog and not to worry about what the other dogs are doing. If the trainer doesn't keep control of the class and keep the wild animals away from each other, it is up to you to protect your dog. Even though my dog is now in the advanced classes, I always watch the other dogs and never let them get near my dog as some people are just stupid and don't care what their dog is up to. I keep telling myself that at least they know they have a problem and are in dog school in an attempt to deal with it.
