Recommended Answer:
Don't waste your money on this type of training. They're expensive and they don't have the best of training either.

Best way to find a good trainer is to contact a local obedience club and ask for referrals. They will tell you of people many have used and trust and KNOW to be experienced and good at what they do. It will also me much less expensive.

Added: All the people I called in the yellow pages wanted no less than $75 for 6 weeks and some were $150+, including the "pet supply stores", but the trainer I found, thru a local dog training club, is only $50 for a 7 week class. She's a breeder and has been showing and titling her breed for 25+ yrs... lots of experience at less cost... Trust me, do your research!

Dog Training and Obedience


  • Yes dont go to pet smart not very good trainers!

  • I don't recommend training there either. I would ask your vet for local trainers in the area. Many of them "partner up" with a good local trainer as they see so many animals and people are always looking for a dog trainer.

    Good for you for looking into training - now, take a little bit more time and find a better one! Good luck!

  • Calling them would get you a quicker response than on here but...

    I live in OH and they charge 105.00 for an 8 week session here.

    Petsmart is over priced. I called my vet and he reccomended a local puppy school and they were half the price.

  • I certianly wouldn't go with petsmart. I've observed too many classes taught at different petsmarts that could be tramatizing to the dog. Asking local vets is a great way to find good dog trainers. Do your research on differant types of dog training and start asking the trainers in your area. I've found Clicker Training to work best with my dogs as it's positive reinforement.
