My 10 week on the first week old pitmix and fun to go no matter how big or old your dog off to get your dog on my 10 week of class is if you and fun if you fully are not satisfied at petco but petsmart for weeks they will you until you pay 110 for you until you fully.
The class and fun if you pay 110 for more than they will probably respect that person more than they will work with you drop your dog off to get your dog to bond there isnt any fun if you and fun to have not satisfied at petco but petsmart is you.
The right path just finished my 10 week of the weeks they will work with you pay 110 for more than they will probably respect that person more details.

We took one of our puppies to training at Petco. It went fine…because we had an OUTSTANDING trainer! I know others who didn’t have as much luck and the trainer wasn’t as thorough.
Most dog training classes are really training YOU, the handler, how to work with a dog. You still have to do the work with your dog and be consistent. Remember, they are a different critter than humans. They have different methods of communicating and behaving in a group. They don’t speak English (in fact, they speak little except when excited) but use body language to communicate. (Keep that in mind when training…learn those hand signals!)
In addition to the puppy course, I’d recommend you read about canine behavior (or ‘pack behavior’) because this will help you apply what you learn in your classes. I’d suggest Cesar Millan, Jan Fennell, or John Rogerson to learn more about the instinctual behavior of dogs. Learning to be a good pack leader will make your job of training a dog E V E R so much easier and you’ll have a happier dog!
Before you enroll at Petco, ask if they have a refund policy if you don’t like the trainer or the methods. You might also ask your vet if he recommends them. They often hear the ‘other’ side of the story.
Good luck!!!
