Recommendations for puppy training?

[tap01.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone!

My wife and I recently got a puppy. She is an adorable little chocolate lab, but unfortunately she doesn't seem to listen too much (she is a puppy after all). She could definitely benefit (and so could us) from some obedience or puppy training classes. Does anyone have any recommendations for some puppy training? I see that PetSmart offers some classes, does anyone have any experience with them?

We and our dog will be very thankful for any help, Thanks!

I don't know of any classes, but I have a TV program to recommend: National Geographic: The Dog Whisperer (http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/dogwhisperer/). It goes into the psychology of dog training, and is totally worth Tivo-ing or getting the video.

This show is great to watch BUT he hardly shows you anything of use. Because its a 30min show usually and they only show the problem, very basic showing of how he is fixing it, the end result...they dont really show all the work that goes into it. BUT it is good for some very basic dog knowledge.
