Honestly in some ways these classes are a scam. I'm in a virtual one on saturdays too and most of the training stuff except some tips and tricks are obvious or the easiest ones you find online when learning this stuff.
The tips are definitely gonna be a bit useful but clearly the most value were getting out of this is getting to slowly socialize with approved puppies that have the right shots.

And that is the value in having real life exposure and training.
Pretty hard to get dogs used to being around other people and dogs if it is all done virtually.
