Take Parker along & enjoy, maybe if one night not so many dogs turn up then you can take cherry in, or if it goes ok once you know the form, she can join/take his place.
To your other Queries
Having a dog who is not great with other dogs, but can be relaxed in a same room as them is a credit to the trainer imo.
Lead use is not always "correction" but can be used to motivate
To me a lead should be a extension of your arm/hand, to guide & motivate!
Thanks-that is a good idea-I can bring Cherry along in the car too so if there isn't so many dogs in the class she can have a turn. You know what people are like-they might get fed up and not turn up!
I didn't think about it that way re the dog is relaxed in the same room as other dogs-good point.
