The Importance of Dog Training
Dog training is a key aspect in solidifying the connection between dogs and their human companions, nurturing good behavior, and improving communication dynamics within the family. Effective dog training can occur at any age, which might be a surprising revelation. The innate intelligence of dogs empowers them to learn and adapt at any life phase. Professional dog training services are crucial as they offer structured education, expert mentorship, and utilize humane, effective training techniques, all contributing significantly to ensuring that dogs receive the training and support they deserve.
Bringing your dog to Chino’s Caring Kennel provides several advantages, such as customized K-9 training service plans that cater to your dog’s individual needs, a focus on positive reinforcement methods that promote trust and obedience, and the assistance of certified dog trainers with extensive experience. These efforts nurture a harmonious and gratifying relationship between you and your canine buddy, leading to a life filled with greater joy and fulfillment alongside one another.
Training Options
We offer tailored training programs for dogs of all ages, breeds, and behavior levels – from basic obedience for puppies to advanced training for reactive or aggressive dogs. Our programs are built around your dog’s individual needs, with options that include immersive board and train, customized private lessons, and structured group classes.
Group Classes
A structured group class allows dogs to refine obedience skills while enjoying socialization with other dogs and people. Training in this environment helps build impulse control, reinforce appropriate behavior, and strengthen focus, even in distracting situations. These classes cater to dogs learning basic manners and commands, as well as those looking to advance in their training. Moreover, group classes provide a stimulating and rewarding way for both you and your dog to develop a deeper connection through shared learning activities.
Obedience Training
Immerse your dog in our Group Obedience courses for an entertaining and productive training approach. You’ll experience our tailored approach within a group ofowners and dogs as you collaborate with a dedicated local dog trainer. Weekly hour-long sessions are paired with daily 45-minute practice sessions, diving deep into key commands like sit and down stays, heel, recall, and loose leash walking and managing prevalent behavioral issues. We also place special emphasis on reinforcing obedience commands even with distractions spanning up to 30 feet, teaching proper greetings, and promoting healthy nutrition and exercise. Progress your dog’s capabilities with our Intermediate Obedience Training tiers, aimed at equipping them for AKC® Canine Good Citizen and Community Canine evaluations, granting a well-mannered pet certification and legal benefits. Join us for a rewarding experience as your dog begins to excel in obedience and social manners!
Board and Train
Our board and train program combines professional training with the convenience of boarding. This program is structured to help dogs build obedience skills and overcome behavioral challenges under the guidance of experienced trainers. Throughout their stay, trainers will implement consistent reinforcement and structured training sessions to encourage behavioral improvement. Ideal for owners who need a convenient and intensive training option, this program delivers professional instruction in a secure, supervised setting.
Private Lessons
For dogs that need focused training or pet parents who prefer a one-on-one approach, we offer private lessons tailored to individual needs. These customized sessions are designed to address your dog’s specific training objectives and behavioral challenges. Whether you’re working on advancing to a higher skill level, perfecting obedience, or resolving problem behaviors, our expert trainers will craft a training plan designed for success. Private lessons also provide a stress-free learning environment for dogs that struggle in group settings, allowing them to learn at their own pace.

Behavior Modification
Some dogs struggle with behavioral challenges like anxiety, reactivity, excessive barking, or aggression. Our behavior modification programs focus on addressing these concerns through structured, individualized training plans that help dogs build emotional stability and confidence. With positive reinforcement and professional guidance techniques, we reshape problematic behaviors, creating a safer and more harmonious connection between you and your pet. Whether your pet struggles with fear-driven responses or needs better impulse control, our patient trainers are dedicated to their development.
Service Dog Training
Embark on our Brea service dog training journey, under the guidance of a certified service dog trainer. Our K-9 trainer begins with a free consultation and assessment to ascertain your dog’s suitability and assistance requirements. Following the introductory session, your service dog trainer in Brea will devise a specialized K-9 training plan divided into three stages. These stages include group sessions like Basic, Urban Canine, and CGC Level I & II, as well as one-on-one sessions either at home or at an off-site location with a local K-9 trainer, board and train options, and private field sessions. The training course includes evaluations for credentials such as Urban Canine Good Citizen®, AKC Community Canine®, AKC Canine Good Citizen®, and a Public Access Test.
Even though the training is intensive, not every dog will succeed, and some may not be suitable, those that do successfully complete the program receive a Certification ID card. Your K-9 trainer in Brea will tell you that active parent participation and availability for instruction and lessons are key components of your dog’s comprehensive training, contingent upon your physical capabilities. Reach us for further details and to schedule an appointment for your consultation.
