PetSmart Dog Training offers group and private classes led by Accredited Pet Trainers who use positive-reinforcement methods for puppies and adult dogs. Group classes are kept small, generally four to ten dogs, giving pets time to socialize and learn to focus around other animals and distractions. Courses run over several weeks so owners can practice skills between sessions and build on them week to week. Three levels of group training are available, along with more advanced options like specialty tricks and therapy-dog training for graduates. Private sessions are also offered for pet parents who want one-on-one instruction, and virtual dog training is available for those who prefer to train from home. Savings packages are available for pet parents who want to combine two or more courses. Appointments can be booked online through PetSmart’s website or by calling the store directly.
