Oh i am sorry....

I am used to new puppies entering our classe, well the ones i used to help teaching. It supposed to be an 45 min deal but it gets longer usually, i don't know how you do it, if you show and explain all together and start practicing then, we used to have 1-o-1 training in the groupclass.
We involved the pupps that are longer there .They could show off what they have learned and got over new stuff one on one. sop nobody was left out.

On the other hand we usually had two or three people to help one main teacher.
i have to admit if i would be in class and new pupps keep coming i would be upset, if it is a course and has an end and an beginning. But i would take the advanced into priority and have the newcommers wait, go with your program and towards the end or when the others are practicing take care of the new ones.
I would be glad on the other hand if i would be taken in late. I belive in puppyclass to start at 8 weeks on age, but I couldn't attend the last one because they had to be 12 weeks and by that time there were just 2 lessons left. i sn't interested in the training but i belive that the socialisation at that age is a great deal, I would have accepted to be set back adn ait because I entered late. Maybe if you explain that, the late ones will understand.

I have to wait now till end of Feb, when my pupps are almost 6 month to get to go to puppyclass, because they don't do that that often. and they didn't take me in when I wanted too. It was bad for the pupps.
Maybe i don't know how your timelimit and willimngness to work longer is, maybe you can make to classes out of one. if they don't understand.

anyways this are my two cents and i really wish that everyhting works out fine and everybody gets their share of your knowledge.
I am the person who would be weak to and let pupps in I have to admit, because I think this is something very important. but If there are courses going on one after the other... hmmm maybe I would let them wait...
I honestly couldn't tell for sure...
