We got soooo lucky with Maya's Petsmart class. I really only signed her up so we could get some good socialization. I wasn't expecting a lot from the training. She has only been at Petsmart for a year, but she has been training dogs since she was 16. I've worked with a dog trainer in high school, I actually did my senior project on seizure assist dogs, and there are a lot of similarities between this woman and the trainer I worked with. It's been so long since I've done any training that the refresher course is great. My only complaint is that there are about 15 dogs in the class and you don't really get any one on one time, but at least Maya and I have a good starting point to go home and learn. She's sitting now from just a hand signal! And just to let everyone know, our trainer said that Lowe's and Home Depot let you bring your dog in (the ones in our town definitely do, but I'm assuming a lot of other ones would too). Anyone that is looking for a good place to socialize or work on training, this may help.
