Service was mediocre. 1/2 the tables had dirty dishes on them. No one made attempts to clear them as they walked by. Food was good though.

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 training for 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 also offer advanced programs like special tricks and therapy dog training. PetSmart locations include additional pet services such as grooming, PetsHotel boarding, Doggie Day Camp, and veterinary care, making it a one-stop destination for pet owners.
Their trainers use positive reinforcement exclusively to build positive behavior in dogs and strengthen the human-animal bond. Training is available at multiple PetSmart store locations across Illinois and Wisconsin, with flexible hours including evenings and weekends.
Virtual training options allow owners to train from home, and package deals are available for those seeking multiple training levels.
