Congratulations, campermama, on your new addition! Since you're in the area, I thought I'd share this link:

The San Diego Humane Society offers many great obedience/training classes and all use positive reinforcement and kind methods. It sounds like your new pup might enjoy the "Head Start" class. Oreo and I took it when she was 18 months old, and it was fantastic. The Humane Society has a great new facility, too. Check it out!
