thanks guys, for all the advice.

I've heard about greenies, but not Hartz? Whats the story with that?

http://www.hartzvictims.org Horrific pictures and stories about Hartz flea products. I don't buy any Hartz products, and won't until they pull their flea products from the shelves.

I've got my puppy in a Petsmart training class right now. Not only is my trainer not using those types of collars, all of the company-wide paperwork for the training classes specifically states no choke or prong collars. They may have used them in the past, but its not part of the training they offer now.

I'm glad to hear that Petsmart policies encourage alternatives, however, I've seen individual trainers at Petsmart reccomend them among other questionable practices.

I still think you should check out the trainer individually. If you find a trainer you like at Petsmart, that's great, if you check it out and find that you would prefer to go elsewhere, that's also great.
