If you are not having success at Petsmart, maybe try out the club for a class and see what you think? Will this be your second obedience class? |
Yup, this would be our second class. I kinda feel guilty not going back to Petsmart. I do like the distractions, but we also practice outside of class with distractions (at petstores, the park, etc). I think she is a good trainer, she is in school to get her degree to be a behaviorist. My problems are with the "cut and dry" methods of Petsmart, I guess, more so than the trainer.
