About the Trainer
PetSmart Dog Training offers accredited, positive reinforcement-based training classes for puppies, adult dogs, and rescue dogs. Classes are available in both group and private formats, with options for virtual training from home. Group classes are small (4-10 dogs) and designed to help dogs learn appropriate behavior at home and in distracting environments. Training spans multiple weeks to allow for skill practice and progression, with advanced options including special tricks and therapy dog training. PetSmart also provides related pet services including grooming, PetsHotel boarding, Doggie Day Camp, and veterinary care, making it a one-stop destination for pet owners.
Accredited Pet Trainers lead all sessions using reward-based methods to build positive behavior for both pets and people. The program supports dogs of all ages and sizes, with tailored instruction for common issues like leash pulling, barking, separation anxiety, and potty training.
Virtual training is available for those who prefer home-based instruction, and package deals offer savings for multiple classes. Training is offered at multiple PetSmart store locations across Southern California, including Aliso Viejo, Lake Forest, and San Juan Capistrano.
