Petco Dog & Puppy Training Classes

Learn how to train your dog – and have a great time while you do. When it comes to training dogs, there’s a lot of misinformation out there. Many people inadvertently make their dogs anxious without even realizing it. Obedience training is about much more than just educating your dog.

When that time comes, you need to be able to trust that they’ll behave properly. If the "I'll Pick It Up" option is not available, it is not available in stores.

The critical time for a dog's learning is before the age of 4.5 months. After that, these "challenging" behaviors become harder to eliminate. The Puppy Manners course is designed to start your puppy off on the right foot so he doesn't need to "unlearn" things later on. This will set the tone for having a wonderful, positive relationship with your dog for many years to come. Tucker Pup's training courses are designed differently than that.

In the majority of cases, a dog that misbehaves when it’s left on its own can be taught to act correctly with the right kind of obedience training. It’s important that your dog gets experience socializing with other people and other animals.

Programs

Ready for your dog to listen to you and have behavior you’re proud of? Our comprehensive Manners program will get the results you want. Please note, there will be no formal obedience instruction during these classes and this class is not meant for puppies that currently struggle to get along with other puppies. Unless otherwise noted, classes are held for one hour per week for six weeks.

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.

Most dogs can excel at these classes, even to the surprise of their owners. Now that your dog knows the basics, it's time to make all of the exercises much more challenging. We add the three D's plus introduce some new commands in order help your dog build and keep its focus. The goal continues to be for your dog to do what you say the first time, without repeating yourself.

Your dog just needs to be comfortable around other animals, without showing any signs of aggression or anxiety. If your dog doesn’t get this kind of exposure, there’s a chance that they’ll react aggressively when they run into another animal. It simply isn’t practical to keep your dog away from other animals permanently.

This ensures that they give your dog the treat for the correct behavior. If you're wondering how to train a dog with a specific behavior, one of the most effective methods is to give them treats, praise, or affection. Most importantly, the best reward to give them is the one that they want the most.
