Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Petsmart Beginner Class? Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:13 pm | |
| So Lycus is now 10 months old and he knows his basic commands such as sit, paw, stay [somewhat], leave it, drop it, lay, dead, and he knows to run through my legs. I was the only one who trained him. Although, he does need a lot of help with loose leash walking and learning how to act when meeting other dogs [he pulls really bad to get closer]. My question is, should I enroll him in the beginner classes at Petsmart? He is too old for the puppy classes, but the trainer said he would be great for the beginner class and he really liked Lycus. He said he would even give me a discount. The trainer also seems really good. I saw other dogs that were trained by him, and they were very well behaved. Would it be worth it to enroll him for the loose leash, and the for the way he acts to meet other dogs? Or would it be better if I just work on that on my own? Any advice is welcome! Thanks in advace! |

| See if the trainer will do an evaluation to see where he stands. Our trainers at the Petsmart up the road from us will do that, so you don't wind up wasting time in a class where your dog already knows everything. We loved our Petsmart training classes too. _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey" Shadow - 03/01/2013 - 10/02/2014 |

| I'll try and do that. I also want to see if I can observe one of the classes before deciding anything. |

| I had the trainer evaluation Kerian and we enrolled both Kerian and Blaze in the intermedite class. They both graduated It sounds to me like he is ready for the intermedited class. Most of what he know they teach in the beginner class (we took Blaze to that one). |
