A 'nuther note:

Yes, by all means go only to a class that lets YOU be the one that 
actually does the training.  The Keller Method classes do that.  
They also (over a period of time) take you as far as you want to 
go with your training.

If you decide you like the idea of showing the dog, but don't want to 
deal with the AKC, "fun" matches are held EVERYWHERE.  They are 
what they sound like:  matches for fun.  A nominal fee is charged 
to pay for the trophies, ribbons, etc, and you get to enter any 
kind of dog you like (there are different groups for different 
sizes, etc of dogs).  A lot of breeders go to these to train their
puppies (yes, there's a `puppy class'), and you can meet some very 
interesting people.


Good luck!
