The good old training days! We actually got one on one training for of our beagles because she was a rescue and very hard to manage. Sounds like she's getting too many treats or the wrong kind if she's getting sick. Can you bring treats that she's used to?
Molly's training progress

The first few weeks a dog is in a new home is called the honeymoon period. Then, their true colors start to show. 🤣
Obedience classes are also only as good as the trainer. I have had some that I really didn't like. At the end of the day, it is up to us how we want to train our dogs. If something happens in class that we are uncomfortable with, we need to speak up and not participate in that technique. I actually told Boh's trainer not to touch him. I didn't like her at all.
I remember our final class, our dogs were evaluated for what they had learned. It was clear that one owner did little outside training with his/her dog. That is the owners fault, not the dog's. The dog was a sweet lab. She was supposed to lie down. She clearly had no clue. Again, not the dog's fault. The trainer was rough with her, verbal, and forced her into a down. The poor dog was terrified and peed on the floor. I was livid. If she had done that to Boh, I might have been arrested.

Oh my! This place only used positive reinforcement. We use treats to lure them into position and reward them for even little successes.The first few weeks a dog is in a new home is called the honeymoon period. Then, their true colors start to show. 🤣
