[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] What age to take a puppy/dog for obedience training?
I have a Great Dane puppy. Of course I want the best training possible for her. Especially since she will become a huge size. The local Petsmart has a great reputable program and I was wondering at what age I should begin this?
Puppy kindergarten classes are now taking puppies after they've had their 2nd shots. Puppies at this age learn very quickly and this is the vital age where they need socializing.
I've taken my older Belgian at 3 months and my current Belgian shepherd puppy who's now 3 months just started classes. (Not Petsmart classes!)

How much does dog obedience training typically cost for a puppy?
Obedience dog training typically cost from $40.00 to $70.00 dollars for a set of classes. Remember, you get what you pay for. Also, when choosing an Obedience Training class go sit in the class, without your dog, a couple of times before you sign up. If it's a reputable school they will let you sit in and watch. If they don't let you sit and watch then look for another class. AKC.com has a list of obedience training classes. Make sure the person that is teaching the class is legitimate and knows what they are doing.
Dogs are the best friend of everybody. It is loyal and obliging. However, you will need to train the dog carefully before it is able to be your best friend. In fact dogs are brilliant and can be tough. Only when you train your family pet, getting him to stay put in a place is important. It will be very frustrating to have your guest being uncomfortable when your dog is pouncing or jumping around. Conversation is impossible when you have to search for your dog continuously in the park because it just does not stay in one place. By giving this instruction, this instruction, you already have the dog sitting obediently in one place.
Actually this isn't a question at all but a sort of rant in some attempt to discuss obedience training. I think you are very much in need of more experience in actually training dogs before you make such an attempt. Your 'question' is false on face ad dogs are not the 'best friend of everyone'. Many can be loyal and obliging but many can be quite the opposite. I agree that they do need to be trained and have been training dogs and people to train dogs for many decades. I am assuming you meant that 'dogs are brilliant and can be taught' instead of 'tough' - they can actually be both and/or neither. Like any animal, they are individuals and have individual characteristics and capabilities - many are not 'brilliant' at all and are quite difficult to teach and can have difficulty retaining, much like people :) Anyone ignorant enough to let their dog off lead at a park when the dog will need to be 'searched' for likely hasn't got much going in the way of the art of conversation anyway. Your post makes little or no sense whatsoever.
