"Our goal is to create an environment where dogs and people can enjoy learning together. We don’t want to just have a positive dog training school, we want to have a positive dog training community, where like-minded people can come together, enjoy their dogs and learn. We plan to have social activities and open our school for socialization and play sessions, practice sessions and matches, and to bring in seminars for educational opportunities for the entire dog owning community."

Petsmart offers classes at all of their stores. They have a wide range of classes so call and find out which would best fit you and your dog. The Edmond Petsmart gives any dogs that have been adopted through the Edmond Animal Shelter $20.00 off on classes. This offer may change, so Paws for Life, Inc doesn't guarantee it is still ongoing. Please call the Edmond store direct at 330-4079.
