Petsmart Puppy Training
Is doing the puppy training program at Petsmart a good idea? Are there better places I should look into (without paying an arm and a leg)?
I figured it would be a great way to both socialize Hiro and also, hopefully, make him on the more obedient side of Shiba's.

Also, ask your trainer if they've dealt with Shibas before. The Petco trainer I took my Shiba to did know about Shibas and their basic behaviors and issues, ect.
Ninja was well socialized and learned a lot. We were invited to go to the advanced group but we declined because of conflicting schedules.
On a side note: the local PetCo has a socializing hour for puppies 8 weeks+ evey Saturday at 1ish. It's free too.

I mostly hope he'll come when called, or at least recognize his name, haha he doesn't seem to get the concept even a little bit. Granted he's still super young. At first he hated the leash and collar but thankfully he got use to it after a couple days and trots along beside me now with out pulling even a little
Thanks so much!!!!
I think the other people left because they were not having any fun. It looked like they did not put in the effort from the beginning and would rather be doing something else on a Saturday afternoon.
