Would you put your dog in obedience school?

This is a sad story because we had hired a dog trainer when our 2 dogs were still less than a year old. The trainer comes 3 times a week and spends 1 hour session for each dog - Barbie the pekingse and Pipoy the pug. But after the 3 months of training, all our puppies could show was recognizing the command SIT. Other than that, they would ignore us. Can you imagine the money we had spent for the trainer?
