Is this an obedience club or a rottie club that offers classes?

As for the comments about her size I'd take it with a grain of salt - If I ahve learned anything since getting Bear it's that everyone out there is a rottweiler expert.

As for the large classes, I don't think this necessarily is an issue if there is plenty of space and if there are enough assistants - with 20 dogs, I'd think you'd need at least 4 pairs of eyes. If you like the instruction but not the class size you can always ask about class size before joining the class.

As for the instructor getting your dog going and telling you to lighten up...I can see why you would be irritated BUT If someone was enticing my dog to get going, I probably wouldn't correct the dog for responding to an invitation to play...but I would ask the person to stop getting my dog riled up as we have been working very hard on her calming DOWN around people - if she still disrespected your wishes, then I'd make a complaint.

Being part of a couple of dog training clubs I know that within any club there are different levels of knowledge and different styles of training and different personalities/ego sizes to go along with that. If you are happy with the training methods but not the personalities I'd stick to classes with the people you like.
