|  Petsmart Obedience Classes I am looking for obedience classes for Bella. Has anyone had any experience with Petsmart classes. I was impressed to see that they are 100% guaranteed, and that you can repeat the class if necessary. I also have a few private classes in my area. Any suggestions?

| Both my babies went to petsmart and you are right, you can get them to keep going back. They are the best! I sent Tiger twice, first one to learn, second just so he can socialize. Annika just went once and since I did not really follow through with her, did not learn any tricks  but that is really my fault. Because of the 100% guarantee, I will someday soon take her back when I can find more time. |

| Ferdinand is going to Petsmart puppy classes right now! They're great. All the trainers at various Petsmart's that I've talked to definitely know what they're talking about. And the best part is it's all positive reinforcement training. I really don't work with Ferdinand as much as I should on the homework, but he's doing really well so far!!

| Just go to the petsmart closest to you. They will have a calendar of when the puppy class starts. It will be that day of the week for 8 weeks (ex: ours started on Tuesday, so it's every Tuesday). Just fill out their form, give them the $99 for the class, and voila! You're ready to go!

| Donating YT 11K Club Member  | I wish I could put Teddy in a petsmart obedience class but unfortunetly we don't have a petsmart in NYC only a petco and I haven't heard good things about their training classes. And I don't have a car so I can't go to Jersey  |

|  Well, If you're looking just for the most basic control on your dog and you're not too worried about consistency, then you'll be pleased w/ PetSmart's training techniques and results. If you're wanting more than that, then I would advise you begin shopping around in your area. |

| I think it depends on which PetSmart. The two I've visited in our area have an outside professional trainer come in and teach the classes. I've known several people who are happy with the results they've gotten.  |

I would not judge all Petco classes by one store. The difference is in the trainer not the store. | |
