I have been thinking about putting Gracie in a training class for a while now and i wents to petsmart today so i got an enrollment form. I was wandering about your experiences with classes there ... i know they are different at different petsmarts but still want to know. Do you think it was worth it? Please share your experience with training classes!!! Thankss!!!

I would give a big thumbs up to training! It has done wonders for Thor and myself!! I would give second thoughts about doing it through Petsmart, just because I personally think you would get better 'nag for your buck' through a private organization. Check out the yellow pages for trainning classes, but def. enroll somewhere, you will be so happy you did!!!!

I went to pet smart... they are very text book. I think I could have gotten the training on line. Thte worst was the trainer made us keep our dogs on the floor...and you had to step on their leash so they couldn't go any where... she would talk for most of the hour class and by the time the dogs were going to try what we learned Chewy was over it and wouldn't do anything! I do work with him and home...i guess it was better then nothing but not by much!!!

Howie and I went through the puppy training class @ Petsmart. He was probably 14 weeks old when we started. I thought they were good. The class was kind of big though so he didn't get a ton of individual attention. But I plan on taking him back after the holidays for the Intermediate level class. I need some help with his barking and nipping!!!
