About Petco Dog Training
Based on what the business publishes about itself
Petco Dog Training operates inside their retail store location, offering group classes and private lessons for dogs at every life stage. According to their website, their approach centers on positive reinforcement, aiming to build confidence and communication between dogs and their owners.
Their class structure moves through distinct stages: puppy classes for dogs 8-16 weeks cover basics like potty training and early socialization, while beginner and fundamentals courses address loose-leash walking and common issues like jumping or barking. They also offer advanced training focused on heel work and recall with distractions. The site notes that group classes are kept small, capped at around four dogs, to allow more individual attention. Private lesson packages are available for owners who prefer one-on-one work.
The company claims to have trained over one million dogs across their locations and states that their trainers undergo rigorous training with experience across a variety of breeds and behavioral challenges. They also describe a satisfaction policy that allows owners to retake a class for free if goals aren't met after the second session. For dog owners in Los Angeles looking for a structured, retail-based training option with flexible class levels, Petco Dog Training provides an accessible entry point.
