Does anyone know of a good obedience school...

clraymond · 06-09-2005, 10:44 PM

for the new puppy? I have looked in the phone book and found 2 in my area. Neither one has contacted me back yet!

The SPCA said they had classes as well, but do you think the would be as beneficial? I told them that I was interested in learning more about it and they never said anything else either. Hmmm... I'm seeing a pattern here.

Anyway, I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Thanks! Lori

I don't personally know of one in that specific area but a better place to look for one in my opinion anyway is by getting recommendations from friends, neighbors, veterinarians, the humane society, boarding kennels, or groomers in your area.

Just as with anything "sold" those who are happy with a product or service are usually happy to talk about it and if they've had a bad experience their also quick to share that as well.

I would check with your local all-breed dog club. Ours holds obedience, agility, conformation, flyball, CGC and rally classes. Reasonably priced with experienced trainers.
