Best Answer. Petsmart classes are hit or miss. There are some that have excellent trainers who are APDT certified, teach outside Petsmart, and compete withtheir personal dogs in various sports. If you find a trainer like that, Petsmart classes may work out well for you. But, the majority of Petsmart trainers are store employees who have gone through a course on dog training. Their knowledge is not more extensive than your own if you spend some time reading and asking questions on training and behavior. In that case, I'd stay away.
