My dog she knows how to sit and crawl and rollover but i can’t get her to stay or lay i want to take her to training but should i do the basic class or the intermediate and why?
Take her to the basic class. You need to learn how to train her, and teaching come, stay, and down are the basic behaviors taught in the basic classes.

I would talk to the trainer. They will be able to assess your dogs "knowledge" and guide you best. Good luck.

Basic, your pup knows the ‘cute’ tricks, not the important ones. She needs to know how to heel, lay down, stay, come, and more.

Obviously the basic class since she doesn’t know the basics(stay, down) which you need to have first before moving to other commands. The trainer would be best to advise on individual dogs but unless you have had previous training classes with this dog, they will advise starting at the beginning & going forward.

You take her to a beginner class. Crawl and rollover are cute tricks, but it’s not obedience. Obedience commands are: Sit, down, stay, come, wait, leave it.

Basic. Because she doesn’t know the basic commands. Down & Stay are 2 of the basic commands. She will NOT be ready for an Intermediate class. You would be frustrated because you would be lacking the basics to fit into that class & it wouldn’t be fair to your dog. Give her the correct start. Good Luck.
