PetSmart Training Prices 2026: Classes, Packages & Private Lessons

How much do PetSmart training classes cost?

A standard six-week group class costs $149, which works out to $24.83 per one-hour weekly session. Classes run in groups of 4 to 10 dogs.

PetSmart also runs a Trick Training class after Puppy or Beginner, but we couldn’t find its price.

If another site quoted you something different, it’s probably out of date. That annoys us, frankly. People budget from these pages, and a price guide nobody rechecks is worse than none.

Are PetSmart’s training packages worth it?

If you’ll take more than one class, yes. Packages bundle consecutive classes at a discount:

The Premium Package comes to about $19.72 per session against $24.83 for a single class, roughly a fifth less. But if one class teaches your dog what you need, stopping there is cheaper.

How much is private training at PetSmart?

Private training is booked by the hour. It suits dogs with one or two specific problems, such as leash pulling or jumping up.

The four-session pack saves $97 against four single hours.

How does PetSmart training compare with Petco?

On price, they’re almost identical:

Class size is the real difference. Petco’s full price list is in our Petco training prices guide, and other chains are in our pet service price guides.

What is Training Camp at PetsHotel?

Training Camp is one-on-one training for dogs already staying at PetSmart’s PetsHotel or Doggie Day Camp. A trainer works with your dog in 30-minute sessions while it’s there, at $45 for one session, $149 for four and $239 for eight.

Some third-party sites list these as “private lesson” prices, which is wrong: you can’t book Training Camp without a stay. Our PetSmart boarding prices guide covers what the stay itself costs.

What does your dog need before the first class?

Vaccines, given at least 48 hours before the first class: rabies and DHPP for adults, age-appropriate puppy shots for puppies. If your puppy still needs shots, our Petco vaccination prices guide covers the cheapest walk-in option.

It also needs the right starting class. Puppies aged 10 weeks to 5 months take Puppy and older dogs take Beginner. Intermediate, Advanced, Brain Games and Therapy Dog each require the class before them.

What if you miss a class or aren’t happy?

PetSmart’s terms are fairly forgiving. Miss a session and you can book a make-up. Refunds are prorated until the second session starts, and if you’re not satisfied you can retake the class free within 90 days. Pay-in-4 is available.
