Petsmart Versus Petco in Puppy/Dog Training?
I’m thinking about adopting a puppy or dog in summer and was wondering where I should train him/her. Petsmart and Petco both having training programs, but I don’t know which to choose! If you have any information you’d like to share, please do. (costs, effective training, better classes, anything) Also, feel free to tell me which of the two stores you prefer and why. Thanks!
I’m not a fan of either of them. Both have moved to “training” their store clerks how to teach training classes (rather than hiring experienced trainers)… which may be workable if all the dogs (and their humans) are capable of learning in their specific method… but makes no real allowances for the oddball dog (or human owner). Problem solving skills are minimal.
Local kennel clubs and training facilities are a far better choice for the money. (Personally, I’d chose a training facilitie since they would not still be in operation if they had not been successfully training dogs).
