| Petsmart training class refund? Does anyone know if Petsmart gives refunds for classes? I signed up for a puppy class that hasn't begun yet but I'm doubting myself... does anyone know off hand if they will give a refund? I re-read the contract I signed and all it says is "I further agree that petsmart and its employees shall not be held liable for any costs or expenses incurred as a result of my pet's participation in the program." But it says nothing about refunds, or whatnot.

| I took my dog to the puppy classes and loved it. Even tho I'm not working with my dog anymore (not my yorkie--another dog) he still remembers the commands. |

| Ok I messed up first post somehow maybe will get this right sooner or later. I was at petsmart yesterday and looked in the window of their training room. I was very concerned because there were 2 and 3 lb dogs mixed with Shephards and Great Danes. It would only take one bite to hurt or kill one of these little ones. So no Petsmart for Laddy |

| My dog (part Rott, part?) was in a class with much smaller dogs. They loved to play together--they were all puppies and if I may put it this way, they had not learned to hate yet! Yes, of course caution is mandatory but socialization includes all other dogs, not just yorkies. good luck on finding something that you feel comfortable with tho cuz that will definitely affect how the training goes. |

| No it wouldnt but I would rather mine fear a big dog than be hurt by one. Have you read the story on here about the 2lb yorkie killed in petsmart by a larger dog when left for grooming? It was horrible. I wont take that chance with my baby. |

| wen i took Abby to those classes there was a big dog there too. Abby always ended up in the bottom of the doggy pile up. That was the main reason y i cancelled the classes and the fact that the teaching was bogus. I cud learn more from watchin dog shows on tv. I was not gonna risk my little four pounder gettin squished like a pancake

| I think it depends on the Petsmart and the quality of trainer that they use. We went for the puppy class and it was wonderful....... especially the socialization part. It is so very important for puppies. The fact that it was a puppy class..... and all the dogs were puppies, there wasn't any aggression problems and it was a great experience. We also got to practice the "basics" ..... I don't know if you could get your money back or not...... it may depend again, on the reason, store, and the trainer. Hope things work out for you!

| I got my refund, by the way! I just didn't want to spend $109 on the basic stuff that Jackson seems to be doing SO well with here with me.

| Hmm...I just signed up for beginnger classes at petsmart...not the puppy ones (since Buddy is almost 7 months). I had talked to the trainers there before I signed up about things that i wanted to address with my little one. She seemed to know what she was talking about...and there were a lot of people there for the class that was starting that night. She recommended that I consider starting the begginner class. I hope that Buddy will benefit from this. Now I'm starting to have second thoughts about the classes after reading this post. I'm happy that you were able to get your money back. Good to know that you can actually get a refund if it doesn't work out. |

| you can get your money back whether u havent started the class, or started them and werent satisfied. but give it a try! sometimes there are bigger dogs in with smaller dogs... and thats normal.... if you dont want your dogs to socialize with the bigger dogs... then dont let them... you can opt out of any part of the course including the socialization part. Every Trainer is different... some good.. some not so good. give it a try and see if you like it before completely throwing it out the window. your dog may do basic commands for you at home... but when your out on the street walking and a big dog walks by... will they listen then? trust me... i had two perfectly well behaved puppies.. who will sit, down, stay, and all of that at home but as they are coming into adulthood are terriors outside of the home.

| We are currently in the Puppy Class at Petsmart. We really like it! We have an excellent trainer and she is very knowledgable. There are a total of 6 puppies in the class and the largest is about 25 pounds - a mix pup. They are on a leash at all times and it's your responsibility to watch your dog. There is a Boxer, the Mix Dog, a teenie tiny Poodle, a Rat Terrier, a Sh*tzu and my yorkie, Ginger. I sat down between the teenie tiny poodle (the smallest dog I have ever seen ... period) and a baby rat terrier. We take the same seats each time. So far we haven't had any incidents what so ever. The boxer and the mixed dog are at the back of the area. They have gotten close enough to smell noses but that's it. There hasn't been any romping or dropping of leashes. I was very worried about Ginger's size before the class but now it doesn't seem to be an issue. I'm glad we are taking it... for many reasons. Before I signed up, I asked what other pups were enrolled. They told me right up front what kind of pups were on the list. They also offer a Petite Class for all ages but that didn't start until the end of April and it was more for socialization than basic commands. Maybe they have that in your area and you would feel more comfortable? Anyway, give it at try! Nothing to lose. Worst case ... get your money back.
