Petco Dog & Puppy Training Classes

For example, a dog doesn’t have an understanding of what a road is. If your dog doesn’t listen to commands, they could run into the road and get hit by a car. The world is full of hazards that dogs might not necessarily understand. Dogs that haven’t been properly trained might bark and howl for hours on end or they might chew up anything they can get their paws on. Not only can this sort of behavior be very costly, but it can also result in noise complaints being filed against you.

When you train your dog well from an early age, it reinforces good patterns of behavior and reduces separation anxiety.

This 12-week comprehensive training package includes your choice of any 2 classes between all Puppy & Adult classes offered plus the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Test.

We believe in the power of positive reinforcement training, guided by expert tested methods meant to build trust and support your dog’s physical, social, and mental health. All our Petco-certified trainers are AKC CGC evaluators and are taught science-based training principles that reward appropriate behaviors instead of punishing negative ones. There are some basic dog training commands anddog tricksthat every dog should know like come, speak, drop it, stay, back up, etc. In addition, they can help you overcome common dog behavior problems and will help keep your dog safe. Socialization means training your puppy or adult dog to accept new people, animals, and various places by exposing him to these things.

Adding a puppy to the family comes with excitement and a unique set of challenges. Start your puppy off on the right track with puppy training classes. The curriculum at Petco for puppy training is designed to encourage positive behaviors by teaching the basics and building on the commands you practice at home. We cover essential commands, loose-leash walking and provide problem solving tips for potty training, chewing, digging and more. In-person group sessions also allow for puppies to socialize in a safe environment.

Communication – Our pets can’t understand the words Good or Bad, however, they process our non-verbal cues through our body language. Pets can read mixed messages in our communication style, which is why we train dogs and owners to communicate effectively through body language and non-verbal cues. Our underlying dog training framework focuses on three key principles. These are the foundation blocks of our dog training philosophy, and we prepare both pet and owner to carry these principles into their home environment.

Treats, belly rubs, or other dog-pleasing actions are used to reinforce that a behavior was good. Tucker Pup's can also provide "turnkey training," where they train your dog while you are at work, then show you what they have been working on. Fun classes are a wonderful way to help your dog have an exciting outlet, plus refine its listening skills and self-control.
