I think they are probably better off at class than the dog park - I would echo the sentiments expressed before about the environment being chaotically full of sights and sounds. And, for a breed that is hard-wired to keep an eye on everything...oye. I do think that class done separately is better than putting "sibs" in the same class, so even if you don't do it this time, maybe next...

"If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them and what you do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys." - Chief Dan George
"The fidelity of a dog is a precious gift demanding no less binding moral responsibilities than the friendship of a human being. The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth can ever be." ~ Konrad Lorenz
