| Petsmart Training Classes? I had a friend who told me he and his fiance took their young yorkie to Petsmart for their training classes. I enrolled Jackson to start classes this week .. was wondering if anyone else has any experience with them?? Thanks so much! |

| I took my beagle when she was 4 months. It was pretty good but the most important part is actually continuing with the training afterwards. I decided not to enroll winston because after taking emma through, we knew what to do...even though we didnt do it...second child thing. Its pretty good and I learned a lot and the socialization is priceless. Good luck! |

| I've thought about this for my boys. How many weeks is it for and what does it cost? Also, for those who have already gone through it...exactly what do they teach, just basic commands or more? |

| The class I am taking Jacks to is Beginner Training .. it's an 8 week course and costs $99. It's basic commands .. there are other classes you can enroll in once you've taken this one .. I figure I'll see how this one goes first.

| We took lexi to petsmart training classes we loved it she was used as the demonstration dog most of the time so at graduation they asked her to go to the advanced class as a demonstration dog as well and we ended up not having to pay. We would highly recomend the classes.

| I'm thinking about taking Bella to this but wonder if she's needs to be fully housetrained first? I also want to take her to PetSmart just to mingle (and for me to purchase more spoilies!) but since she's not completely housetrained I'm afraid she'll pee! |
