AKC Canine Good Citizen Class

The American Kennel Club's CGC Class is designed to prepare you to take the Canine Good Citizen test as well as improve on commands you've already learned. Lessons include the importance of greeting a friendly stranger, walking through a crowd, ignoring distractions and more. AKC certified evaluators administer the AKC CGC test on a regular basis in many of our stores.

Clicker Dog Training Trick Classes

Clicker Training is the fastest growing dog training method in the field and PETCO is proud to partner with Karen Pryor, one of the nation's leading Clicker Trainers, to offer this class to pet parents. You and your dog will learn useful and fun tricks you can use every day.

Private Dog Training Lessons

Private Lessons are designed for people who cannot attend scheduled group sessions or desire one-on-one instruction. Private Lessons can be tailored to your dog's individual needs. Single sessions, and four or six lesson packages are available at a discounted price.

Coming soon in the near future…

Rally-Obedience: combines the fast paced world of agility with a course of basic commands. This class is intended for dogs with previous obedience training. Call store for more information.

AKC Canine Good Citizen

Certified Evaluator

The dog does not need to be a pure bred dog, nor an AKC dog. For more info on CGC certification & testing you can check out the website: AKC CGC Info & Events. There usually is a minimal fee ($10-$15), then upon passing the test, you send the paperwork to AKC with $5.00 and receive the certificate/award back in the mail.

CGC TESTING coming soon... watch for dates
