Testimonials

Worse experience save your time and money and find another place they don’t value your time and care for your pet. since the moment I got there I had an 8am appointment, so I got there 7:45 because I value everyone’s time so Zoey the groomer was there and she asked me if my dog was Barbie and I said yes this is Barbie and she right away said that the manager was running late that he would be there around 8:30… She was supposed to get her nails and a bath which she didn’t get and they were like you should take her to Higgins for that kind of case… I was ilike what kind of case? And she said when dogs don’t allow groomer to do their head I was ok what bout her foot and nails, and bath I told Zoey since this morning you did t wanted to do her hair but is ok thanks, and she said you don’t have to pay, the audacity of this called groomers.

Just picked my dog up who was not only there for a 3hours, she was scheduled for bath, deshedding and trim. She only received the bath! When waiting to hear back from them a groomer assured me she was ready and just needed to have her butt trimmed. When we picked her up she didn’t have anything trimmed, and the groomer told me because she was a junior stylist she couldn’t trim her. I was still charged the full pricing of all 3 when she only bathe her something I could have done at home at my own doggy wash.

No stars worst “trainers” woman lives in my neighborhood as well do NOT utilize this program. Clearly they use YouTube as training. Do it alone

About the Trainer

Petco Dog Training offers in-person and online dog training classes designed to strengthen your dog’s overall well-being through reward-based, positive training methods. Their curriculum is tailored for both puppies and adult dogs, focusing on building social, physical, and mental health through bonding and exercise. Classes are available as group sessions or one-on-one instruction, with flexible scheduling options. Petco also provides related services such as dog grooming, veterinary care, and pet adoptions at their Chicago locations.

Training programs emphasize positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, with special promotions offered seasonally for group classes and packages. The business positions training as a health and wellness decision, aligning with Petco’s broader mission of pet care and support.

While Petco offers dog training through certified trainers, customer reviews indicate inconsistent experiences, including concerns about staff training, communication, and service quality, particularly in grooming services that may be conflated with training.

Petco Dog Training is available at their Chicago store locations and online.

Note: Petco is a retail chain offering training as a service within its stores, not a standalone training business with independent trainers.
