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.

Out of curiosity, what location and how long ago was this?
I find it hard to believe that a huge corporate structure like Petsmart would have different ways of doing things across all of their corporate stores at the same time - especially with something as structured as dog training.
Myself and friends of mine have had our dogs trained at several different Petsmart locations in the DFW area and they all use the same structrured manuals and methods in their training.
All the puppy classes for example learn the same exact things, in the same exact time frame, and every class is held the same exact way (the instructor will tell the puppy parents how to lure the dog to the desired position with a treat, say "yes" when the dog does what it is supposed to, gives the dog a treat and let's us practice with our own dogs)
