I was in Petco yesterday and saw their new training sign. It advertised positive-only training and said that their trainers are now certified for AKC STAR Puppy training and CGC. Considering how clueless their trainers (mostly 20-something know-it-alls) have been in the past, I was pretty surprised to see the last two items. Of course, I always warn my puppy buyers to stay away from their trainings. I couldn't find a choke chain, or the woven canvas leashes I like for training, but the cookie isles have really expanded!
