I have been really happy with our trainer from Petsmart. He used clickers, positive reinforcement, ect. It is the one in Cypress off 290.

I like PetSmart training because of the huge amount of distractions and the close quarters. On Wednesday, I go to a great facility owned by a local trainer with an arena and lots of indoor/outdoor room. On Thursday, we go to Petsmart and train in a completely different environment.

Our PetSmart trainer was great. She has been a trainer professionally for 9 years, and worked well with the dogs in the class. I have used another "highly recommended" professional trainer in our area, and did not like him at all. His classes were way too large (40+ people) and he spent zero time getting to know the dogs.

PetSmart training really depends on the trainer at the location...

i try to avoid petsmart and petco training services but one of the trainers at the petsmart at our last duty station, i would have had NO problems signing up for one of her classes. She was knowledgable and trains her dogs for various activities. She's also the CGC certifying type in the area. Her St. Bernard had NO manners whatsoever when she adopted him and she titled him in Obedience. She has a pyrnese mix though i dont remember what she does with that one and her newfie Urschi is being trained in water rescues. Urschi and Shasta played a few times. Urschi is about 2 months younger than Shasta. Would have had NO problems using her as a trainer. She helped me with a couple training issues and we've not had issues since.
