Glenn, I'm faced with the same problem - 2 dogs in different classes on different days. I go to class early and work the dog that is not in that day's class. Then he/she goes into the crate or car while the other is in class. Whining is not allowed! The Cavalier (Keno) is a complainer, my Boxer (Windy)is not. So Keno sometimes needs to be reminded "No whining." :-)
