Testimonials

If I could give zero stars I would. Drove 45 minutes to get my dog groomed, brought everything my girlfriend and I were told to bring. Upon arrival we were told our vaccine papers needed to have an expiration date on them, despite being given to him month ago and also not providing that information while booking the appointment.

About the Trainer

PetSmart Dog Training offers accredited dog training services for puppies, adult dogs, and rescue dogs using positive reinforcement methods. They provide both group and private training classes, as well as virtual online sessions for convenience. Group classes are small, with 4–10 dogs, allowing for personalized attention while also helping dogs learn to focus around distractions. Training programs span several weeks to allow for consistent practice and skill progression. Advanced options include special tricks and therapy dog training. In addition to training, PetSmart offers related pet services including grooming, PetsHotel boarding, Doggie Day Camp, and veterinary care at many locations.

Their trainers are accredited and focus on building positive behavior for both pets and owners. Training is available at multiple PetSmart store locations in Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh and Bridgeville, with flexible hours including evenings and weekends.

Virtual training is offered for those who prefer to train at home, and package deals are available for combining multiple classes.

All training is conducted in-store at PetSmart facilities, not in-home.

PetSmart is not a standalone dog training business but a retail chain offering training as part of its pet services.

Note: The training is delivered by PetSmart’s in-house accredited trainers, not independent contractors.
