How well did it work for you? How much did you spend on classes?

I’m all set to get a Mini Schnauzer around the beginning of December and I want to bring her up right. I’ve had a Schnauzer before but this will be my first puppy on my own. I was looking at the training classes at PetSmart and I’m curious to know what expieriences (if any) you’ve had with them. I’m open to other suggestions, preferably something with other dogs so she can socialize. I am in the Denver Metro area, FYI, and I am on a budget, so nothing too extravagant! lol Thanks!

What are the best resources for puppy training?

Carrie S asked:


I am not ready for puppies yet since my dog was just diagnosed with a terminal disease. I cried for days but have come to terms with the fact that he doesn’t have super long to live. I love dogs and want another GSD or two. I did so much wrong the first time even in choosing an older puppy with health and tempermant problems to starting with bad trainer and not so great vet.
This time I have already know who to call for a puppy or two and who will train it as they come highly recommended from my vet who is also highly recommeded.
I am not sure if I want to get one puppy at a time about a year apart or two together but either way I want to read up on health care and training methods and any other resourses that would help me be the BEST pet owner possible.
And yes I am home enough for two dogs right now I don’t work and my husband does and I am really only looking for part time work on a different shift so most of the time someone would be home with the puppies.
