Petco Dog Training offers group dog training classes at their Oceanside, CA location, designed to help dog owners build better behavior and communication with their pets. Classes are led by certified trainers who use positive reinforcement methods, with a focus on basic obedience, puppy training, and behavior modification. The program includes multiple levels, such as puppy and beginner classes, allowing dogs to progress as they learn. Trainers provide guidance on home training techniques and address specific challenges like leash pulling, barking, and separation anxiety. Petco also offers holiday promotions and discounts on training packages, making it accessible for many pet owners. In addition to training, Petco provides related services like dog grooming, veterinary care, and pet adoption support.
