Who is cheaper for dog training Petco or Petsmart2007-11-25 2:55:12

I have a 1 year old Boxer-Mutt Mix who needs training and I was wondering who had cheaper training courses.

Answers:

Call and ask.

I have no idea since I don't live in the US but you shouldn't be looking for the cheapest training classes, you should be looking around for the best.

Its not the price that should concern you but the quality of training that your going to receive. So far neither PetSmart nor PetCo have really experienced trainers. You'd be better off to try and find a local not for profit training club. these places are usually run by volunteers and they have been training and competing for years. Plus they don't get paid so your money goes to maintaining the training club not the business behind them. I've worked for PetSmart and their trainers only knew the bare bones basics. Same for the people at petco. Just some open book knowledge, nothing real world though i could be wrong but if your a good trainer people will seek you out you don't have to work for the big corporate monster. Look up obedience training clubs in your area, I'll bet you can fine at least one. If not best of luck with the Pet Company people.

Well I used to work at Petland (the same as both you mention)and let me tell you that today what they do is sell a kit (which comes with the dog you are buying) with a DvD and a 1-800 number to call for training, on side of that I don't think they do, at least not in the store I was working on.

You pretty much are going to get what you pay for.. You want cheap, you get cheap.. What is wrong with good training ??

I am sure they are both comparible with price, and you get what you pay for.
