About the Trainer
PetSmart Dog Training offers accredited, positive reinforcement-based dog training classes for puppies, adult dogs, and rescue dogs. They provide both group and private training sessions, as well as virtual online options for home-based learning. Group classes are small, with 4–10 dogs, allowing personalized attention while also helping dogs learn to focus around distractions. Classes are structured over several weeks to reinforce skills and build communication between pet and owner. Advanced training options include special tricks and therapy dog preparation. Trainers are accredited and use only positive reinforcement methods to build behavior. PetSmart also offers related services including grooming, PetsHotel boarding, Doggie Day Camp, and veterinary care at many locations.
Their training programs are designed to help dogs behave appropriately at home and on-the-go, with a focus on clear communication and consistent practice.
