About the Trainer

PetSmart Dog Training offers accredited, positive reinforcement-based training classes for puppies, adult dogs, and rescue dogs. They provide both group and private training sessions, as well as virtual training options for home convenience.

Group classes are small (4-10 dogs) to ensure personalized attention while allowing dogs to practice socialization around distractions. Training is structured over several weeks to reinforce skills progressively.

Trainers focus on building communication between pets and owners, with advanced options including special tricks and therapy dog training. PetSmart also offers related pet services including grooming, PetsHotel boarding, Doggie Day Camp, and veterinary care at select locations.

Their trainers are accredited and use positive reinforcement exclusively to encourage desired behaviors. Training is available at multiple PetSmart store locations across North Carolina, including Statesville, Mooresville, and Hickory.

Customers can book sessions online or in-store, with flexible hours including evenings and weekends. Packages are available for combining multiple training classes at a discounted rate.
