Ask if you can sit in on a class (without Lexi) before you sign up. That is not an unusual request from a perspective student, and welcomed by most trainers.

Good luck.
I doubt my dad would drive all there to just observe a class although I know many people do that. I will talk to the vet that I will be taking her to soon an ask her if she thinks petsmart/petco are good training places. The other place I was talking about is a Humane Sociaty where you can adopt a dog/cat, obedient classes, and agilty classes. Its about $11 cheaper than Petsmart but you see its in Louisville (KY) and some parts of that city is dangerous, lots of killings and such. Petsmart is also there but my Dad is familiar with the street name and isnt with the Humane Sociaty one. So Im undecided on where to take her. I still got sometime to think since shes only 7 wks at the moment.

Ive heard that. Ugh, knowing my luck, I'd get a trainer that isnt the greatest , thats just how lucky I am lol
