Every training decision is a health & wellness decision | That's why we removed shock collars from our shelves in favor of positive reinforcementβa reward-based training method that not only reinforces good behavior but also strengthens your pet's total well-being. | | Social health | Help build your dog's trust and create a stronger bond for a lifetime of love. | | | Physical health | Give them the confidence and exercise they need to explore new environments. | | | Mental health | Engage and stimulate your pet's mind through skills and activities. | | βTo train a dog using positive reinforcement is to respect their dignity and worth as more than a possession obtained for personal satisfaction. If you want to build bonds with dogs, you must always choose a relationship built on positive reinforcement over one predicated on punishment, shame or fear.β | Dr. Alexandra Horowitz | Senior research fellow and head of the Dog Cognition Lab at Barnard College, Columbia University, and Petco Pet Wellness Council member | | | In-store training | Create a custom curriculum at your neighborhood store. | | Enroll in our $25 Private Lesson*! | | *New Petco Positive Dog Training customers only.
