You can also get training books from your local library to start reading so that when the time for classes does come, you will be ready with lots of questions.
And you've probably already noticed the pinned topic in this forum.

I bought a book just a few days before I got Lexy and it has some things in it about obedience in it and oodles and oodles of tricks (like sit,lie down, shake, naming things and etc) in it. So Im gonna use that a bit too. I was just hoping that if I do go to Petsmart (I like petsmart better than petco for some reason), that I will get a trainer that knows what their doing. Ive never been to a puppy/dog class so I dont know exactly what to expect. What exactly do they teach your puppy? Socalization and the basic obedient commands?
