However it sounds as though you do not need our help after all, despite your original post.........

So sorry this has happend, it is totaly NOT normal dog training, it is abuse by a self important bully
Unfortunatly far too many people still use cruel methods to train dogs - and as you seen it dosent work in many cases and in the cases where it does work it works for the wrong reasons
SOme great advice for finding trainers in your area has already been given
You or whoever is taking your pup (I am sorry I am a little unclear here) should go along to a class first and see - if it feels any way uncomfy then dont go
IF a trainer tried to do anything you are not sure of then dont let them - they can demo on their own dog
Hopefully he wont have any lasting mental scars from this treatment and you can find a good trainer
I agree for just now its possibly better to get a one to one behaviourist to help with your problem and later you can try classes again

Zanta had a habit of chewing on her lead he told me this was dominance grabbed the laed form my hand yanked her and shouted in her face and she wet herself.
The look on my face must of spoken volumes before I could take or grab the lead back he handed it over rather sheepishly and I told him in no uncertain terms no thank you.
I should of and I do regret no doing so as then I wasn't sure about how to do it wish I had reported him but I did tell all other puppy owners who spoke of this class what he had done to my pup and I would seriously look for another class.
Not sure what it did for his reputation I don't suppose it did any damage but I have learnt not to take any nonsense in the future from trainers tell them if you are not happy and move on to somewhere else till you find somewhere you and the pup are happy with.
I understand this is more difficult for you Jules.

I am sure they are not meant to be. We are all very passionate about dogs here and lots of people have some very good advice and I think sometimes it may sound harsh but they are really trying to help you and your pup.
Everything turned out well in the end thank you as I am sure it will for you as long as you do not send him back to that awful bully.
Stick around we are an ok bunch and you will get some good advice not always what you want to hear sometimes but good advice nonetheless.
