About PetSmart Dog Training

Training at the Newington store

PetSmart Dog Training in Newington runs from the PetSmart at 19 Gosling Road, off Route 4. Its Accredited Trainers build every class around positive reinforcement, helping dogs of all ages develop skills that last well past the final class. Group classes let dogs practice responding to cues around other dogs and daily-life distractions, and classes follow a structured approach so progress carries from one session to the next, from puppy basics to new challenges later on.

Class options

Group classes are kept to 4-10 dogs and run over several weeks. Private classes are built around a dog's own pace and needs, and an advanced class is offered for dogs ready to build on the basics. PetSmart describes three levels of training courses, with special tricks and therapy dog training for graduates, and savings packages for combining classes.
