While shopping I noticed a training class going on in the store. Petco markets “positive reinforcement training” so I was shocked to see the trainer grab a golden retriever puppy by the ear and get into its face to scold it. They were working on a “leave it” command and the puppy was struggling to not pick the treat up off the floor. Instead of teaching the puppy, she man handled it and tried to intimidate it into behaving for her. She then got up and made comments about how the puppy did terrible and she has never seen a dog do so bad in front of the whole class. A lack of experience is no excuse for this horrible behavior and I do not recommend anyone work with this trainer. Petco: this was witnessed on 5/18/24 around 4:30. Like I said, I am not the owner but still a horrible thing to witness take place inside your business.
