Which is better for dog training petco or petsmart2007-11-25 2:55:35

I just got a 4 mo. old beagle puppy and i was wondering if anyone knew about training at petco or petsmart? Are they any good? How much do they cost?

Answers:

I doubt there is much difference and Im sure if you checked resumes the trainers have probably worked at both places.

Petsmart is the best..

i'm sure both would do a good job - all trainers are certified animal trainers before they are hired. Furthermore, the sessions like are like once a week right? it's more of getting the concept down and training the pup urself - really depends on how much you work with the dog on ur own.

You are just as well off slipping a 20 to a bum in an alley to train your dog.

The people that train at those big chains dont need any experience to get a job training. All they need is a 2 week reccomended course. You are strictly paying for the floorspace it takes up when you go there for "training"

I would highly reccomend searching for a local trainer who has made it their life to train dogs. You will be more than satisfied with the results. Also, your vets should know of some good trainers,

For a great DVD on how to train your dog, you should go to PetsIncredible.com! They are backed by the Humane Society and their videos are really wonderful! The videos are also cheap and go into great detail. Hope this helped!

I don't like either of them, myself. If you are lucky to get a trainer at one of them who's been through a certified behavioral program (San Francisco SPCA, for example) you're lucky.
