About Petco Dog Training

Petco Sarasota South

Store 1590, called Sarasota South, trains dogs at 8356 S Tamiami Trl, Sarasota, FL 34238. Its training desk answers at (941) 966-1840, and training runs 10:00 AM-7:00 PM Sundays and 9:00 AM-8:00 PM the rest of the week.

Private sessions

For owners who want individual coaching, this store schedules 45-minute private sessions for dogs of any age. A certified trainer reviews the behaviors and cues to work on, sets goals and builds a customized plan, with flexible times.

Six-week groups

Small groups meet weekly for an hour across six weeks. Puppies between 8 and 16 weeks start with potty training and first cues like sit and come. Dogs from 16 weeks to six months move on to loose-leash walking, wait and tricks. Grown dogs over six months can choose Fundamentals, aimed at jumping, barking and leave it, or Advanced, which adds heel, recall with distractions and mental games.
