Are 2 training classes better than one?

[teamcamacho]

I have a male and female rot that have been trained at home with the basics..sit,down,no jump, and no bite...etc. I am aware that they are over due for formal training classes to help them be better citizens. I have seen some of the other posts that suggest seperating the two puppies durring home training for better attention but my question is in regards to the training classes.

Because of the time schedules that my husband and I have it would be easier for the both of us to take them to the same training class but would that be less productive for their learning? Or should we take them to seperate classes as well. It would be more difficult but if it will mean that they will learn better then we are willing to do what ever it takes. Any advise would be greatly appreciated

It totally depends upon whether they have been allowed to totally bond to one another instead of the owners. I have had some cases where it works out just fine and others where it was impossible as the dogs spend every effort attempting to get with the other dog rather than working with the handler.

DH and I have done classes together. It was and is fun! The first time we decided to be at opposite ends, thinking it might help? Turns out it wasn't necessary or we just got lucky.
