Testimonials
“It was a series of weeks filled with learning and growth, both for my pet and I. The trainer gave us information and guidance to a solid foundation in our training. I still have to work with my pet more before I enroll in the next level training, but that is not to say it was the fault of the training. My friends and family have seen major growth in my pet compared to how he behaved in the very beginning.”
– Vianney
“We have taken the beginning puppy class and the intermediate training class with Cristina, our instructor. She is friendly and knowledgeable about training our Vizsla. She demonstrates each command and then gives time for practice under her guidance. We like the written booklet we are given for each level that we can refer back to during the week as we continue to practice commands at home. We are also impressed by the safety measures during Covid as they sanitize the room before each session. We are looking forward to continuing to the next level with Cristina as our instructor.”
– Carolynn
“Cristina was an amazing instructor, and I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family who are getting dogs. She helped us so much and PetSmart should be lucky to have an employee like her. She definitely deserves a raise.”
– Rianna
About the Trainer
PetSmart Dog Training offers accredited, positive reinforcement-based dog training classes for puppies, adult dogs, and rescues. They provide group classes, private sessions, and virtual training options to help dogs learn appropriate behavior at home and in public.

In addition to training, PetSmart offers related pet services including grooming, PetsHotel boarding, Doggie Day Camp, veterinary care, and pet pharmacy services—all under one roof for convenience.
Their training philosophy centers on building positive behavior through rewards and guidance, with no use of corrections or aversive tools. They also offer advanced training options like special tricks and therapy dog preparation for experienced pet parents.
