Howie is enrolled in Petsmart training classes. He graduated from Puppy Kindergarden in the summer and is now taking the Intermediate class. I like the classes just fine for the price. Howie thinks they're fun. Now, he's not the world's best behaved dog, but as a result of these classes I think he knows that I'm the boss, not HIM. Which, for me, is more important than him knowing how to give me his paw, ya know? So, I'd say go for it. It's been my experience that the other puppy parents in these classes are an interesting bunch and provide me a lot of entertainment... even if they don't know it! LOL. For example, a puppy peed on a guy's lap one time and he squirted his wet pants with disinfectant spray meant for the floor.
