They also go over topics like what to do about aggressive behavior, potty training, and nutrition. Sometimes it was frustrating because Penny would have MAJOR A.D.D in the class sometimes and the instructor gave me a great idea which I never thought of before. He said, "Train her in different places. Not just different places in your house but train her outside and bring her to different pet stores and train her there too." Needless to say his advice worked like a charm!

I see you are in Highland Park - I am in Lake Forest, IL. Do you mind me asking which Petsmart did you go for the puppy class? I am looking for puppy classes/ trainer for my two yorkie puppies.

Thanks in advance.
