At one club I run Dudley and Suzi in different classes, they have 3 during the evening, at the other I Run Dudley on Monday and Thomas and Suzi on Friday in different classes.

I wouldn't try and run both dogs in one class, there is a woman that on Friday and it's a nightmare, she forgets what dog she's running and calls them the wrong name and I don't think you can really concentrate on the different needs of each dog.

What I'm trying to say in a waffling round about way is I would work one dog at a time as you can concentrate better and enjoy it rather than getting stressed out with 2 excited dogs.

Would have to agree with Paula - its hard enough concentrating and getting it right with one dog! Most places have a few different classes a week at diff times - so you should be able to take them on diff days or diff classes depending on their size.
