Petco Dog Training offers group and private dog training classes led by certified trainers using positive-reinforcement methods. In-store group classes run over six weeks and cover foundational cues like sit, down, and come, along with curbing unwanted behaviors such as jumping and barking. Private sessions are 45 minutes and are tailored to a dog’s specific needs, ideal for pet parents who want one-on-one instruction or help with particular behavioral issues. Puppy training focuses on socialization, confidence-building, and basics like potty training, while adult dog classes reinforce good habits and leash manners. Class sizes are kept small, with a maximum of about four dogs per group, to ensure personalized attention. All trainers undergo hands-on training and have experience with a range of breeds and behaviors. Appointments can be booked directly through Petco’s website or by calling the store.
