That's horrible! I agree, a class with less dogs would probably do a lot of good. Bongo's AKC training club has a rule of 10 dogs/class for 1 expert trainer and 1 helper, and 13 dogs/class for 2 regular trainers.

Even so in that class you have to put a red bandana on your dog if they are aggressive. And if you refuse to? You are booted.

Bongo's puppy kindergarten started without incident, but there were some looks on some faces... the "Oh, there's a rottie in this class??" looks... those quickly faded when they figured out that he was a big ol' mush. However there was a sheepdog in that class who became VERY aggressive toward any dog that came near her. The owner kept trying to blame it on the other dogs, but the trainers quickly stepped in and made them put her to the side. I remember one point when Bongo walked by the sheepdog and she growled insanely at him. The owner goes, "yeah she really doesn't like him", and the trainer told them that it is their fault as owners for not socializing their dog properly...lol

The sheepdog didn't last the whole 8 weeks, because after having two weeks of sitting out, the trainers told the owner that she would either have to muzzle her dog for the training, or sign her up for the aggressive dog class - but she could not stay in the puppy kindergarten. The owner was offended and the trainers asked them to leave. However, it was the right move because the class was incident free after that!

You should definitely find a training club that has certain rules for fights or aggressive dogs. This way you don't have to be in a situation like that. I think you're making the right move by going elsewhere.
