What is race-pace training?

What to expect out of PetCo's Dog Training classes?

• I have a very beefy, 11-week old American Pitbull. When I get my paycheck for the month I am spending the $100 for 6 weeks of "Level 1" Puppy Training at PetCo. I hear a lot of good things about the dog training classes there and I always see a ton of people lined up with their dogs, but maybe that's just because it's the cheapest dog training class available. The description listed off some of the basic commands they teach the puppies as well as solutions to behavior problems, but what should I expect from their classes? And are the puppies allowed to interact, or are they kept separated during training? I want my puppy to be socialized, and I know that the Humane Society trains puppies as well as helps to socialize them with other dogs, which is very important in preventing dog aggression in Pits. I'm wondering if I should still go to the PetCo taining for $100, which is in my area and only takes one bus, or spend $140 on the Humane Society training class, which means that I would have to take two buses and transfer, all the way to Seattle, every week.

  "Expect" to get screwed out of your money! Worst choice on the planet-they don't know WTF they're doing. Call your local kennel club instead-don't get scammed.
