A FEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FROM PETSMARTS ONLINE SITE.I took my training classes from Petsmart with Jennifer on Millerville  Road

Q: How can I train without spending a lot of time doing it?
It probably doesn't take as much time as you think to train a dog. Once you know how to communicate with them, dogs don't need long boring training sessions to learn appropriate behavior. In fact, it really works best if you work with your dog for short periods of time. When you keep it fun and short, the dog stays motivated. We teach you how to keep your dog wanting to learn, so training is actually one of his favorite activities instead of something you both dread. Our training program teaches you how to make training part of your every day interactions with your dog, utilizing every day activities.
Q: What is the difference between PetSmart's reward based and the traditional obedience training taught elsewhere?
Primarily, it's a mindset that you have brought a new dog into your home because you want her to be a happy and loving member of your family. As such, she needs to know what is acceptable behavior in your house, and what you are asking from her. Once she understands what you want and is able to respond positively, your bond will grow even stronger, and you'll be able to do more with her. PetSmart's training program does not use choke chains or harsh methods. It's not about forcing your dog to obey commands. It's about developing a common language that both pets and parents can understand to help us communicate in a way that is fun for everyone. That's why we use the word "cue" - not "command" - to describe the requested behavior we seek from our pets in class. Dogs, just like people, learn more effectively when they want to learn and are rewarded, rather than when they are being forced.
Q: Aren't my puppy's bad behaviors part of the �puppy stage� that I have to just get through?
Puppies aren't born understanding our language and our culture - and chewing is just an innate behavior of dogs. Your puppy doesn't know that chewing on your shoe is bad, but chewing on her toy is okay. Because puppies are not born knowing human rules or language, it is our responsibility to teach them to understand. While some behaviors, such as chewing, are natural puppy behaviors, it is up to us to teach them what an acceptable chew toy is and what is not. Training your puppy early will help with behaviors when she is an adult.

WHEN IS PICK UP DATE ?

PICK UP DATE DEPENDS ON MATURITY OF EACH PUP USUALLY  7-8 WEEKS OLD,and ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS AS WELL, IF YOU ARE OFF ON WEEKENDS WE SUGGEST PICKING PUP UP ON FRIDAY SO PUP CAN HAVE WEEKEND TO GET USE TO YOU. PUPPY MAY ALSO CRY AT NIGHT AND YOU WILL NOT GET SLEEP. WHEN YOU BRING YOUR PUPPY HOME TRY TO KEEP THINGS CALM AND QUIET SO PUP DOESN'T GET STRESSED. STRESS IS NOT GOOD FOR A LITTLE ONE. SMALL CHILDREN NEED TO BE SURERVISED AROUND NEW PUP AND TAUGHT HOW TO BE GENTLE. A PUP ONLY KNOWS OF ITS MOM ,LITTER MATES AND OUR HOME AND ITS SCARY FOR IT TO GO WITH NEW PEOPLE IT DOESN'T KNOW, SO KEEP THAT IN MIND FOR YOUR NEW LITTLE ONE, WITH LOVE AND ASSURANCE IT WILL NOT TAKE IT LONG AND IT WILL  FEEL SECURE IN ITS NEW HOME WITH ITS NEW FAMILY.
