Positive dog training focuses on rewarding good behavior instead of punishing naughty behavior. Just like humans, dogs repeat behaviors that they are rewarded for. Our expert dog trainers use positive reinforcement dog obedience training techniques that are supported by decades of research to build respect and trust between you and your dog.

Timing and consistency are essential to successful puppy training. Petco's puppy training services introduce the basics and build on the commands you practice at home with your pup. The puppy training classes cover essential commands, loose-leash walking, problem-solving ideas for potty training puppy, chewing, digging and more. At our in-person puppy group training sessions, our expert dog trainers also leave plenty of time for puppy socialization and playtime.

After completing the puppy training, classes, test your pup's newly acquired skills with the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Test through AKC's Canine Good Citizen Evaluators at Petco.

Dog obedience training takes consistency and positive reinforcement. Through Petco's Adult Level dog training services, our expert dog trainers will reinforce positive behaviors while building upon basic cues. We cover, coming when called, sit, stay and politely walking on a leash, managing undesirable behaviors, preventing boredom with enrichment activities, meeting new people, and adjusting to new environments.

Take your dog through the AKC Canine Good Citizen® training sessions with AKC's Canine Good Citizen Evaluators at Petco. This training course will prepare you and your dog to take the AKC Canine Good Citizen® Test which is also offered at Petco.

At Petco, we understand that some dogs and pet parents may need or prefer private dog training classes. Our private dog training services focus on your dog's precise needs. Sign up for one or multiple private dog training classes with one of our expert dog trainers.
