Testimonials

Have used the training services twice now and Megan was excellent! Very kind and patient. Have recommended the trading to several people.
– Customer

I tried this program with my mom and her little dog as a puppy. They insisted she couldn’t do puppy classes because she was a week or two off for that group but she was still very tiny and nervous so that’s why we asked. She was then scared of the other dogs and the trainer didn’t really care. So she hid under the chair for the weeks of program.

About the Trainer

PetSmart Dog Training offers accredited, positive reinforcement-based training classes for dogs of all ages, including puppies, adolescents, adults, and seniors. They provide both group and private training sessions, as well as virtual online options for convenience. Group classes are kept small (4-10 dogs) to ensure personalized attention while allowing dogs to practice socialization in controlled environments. Training is structured over several weeks to reinforce skills progressively. Trainers focus on building communication between pets and owners using reward-based methods. In addition to training, PetSmart offers related pet services including grooming, PetsHotel boarding, Doggie Day Camp, veterinary care, and pet pharmacy services.

Their training programs cover basic obedience, puppy training, leash walking, barking, separation anxiety, and recall. Advanced options include special tricks and therapy dog training. All trainers are accredited and use positive reinforcement exclusively. Classes are held at PetSmart store locations, and virtual sessions are available for home-based training.
