The Importance of Dog Training
The importance of dog training lies in its ability to strengthen the bond between humans and their dogs, enhance communication with families, and cultivate good behavior. The phrase, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” is completely false. Dogs can adapt and learn at any stage of life because of their extraordinary intelligence. Professional dog training services are indispensable because they offer structured learning, expert guidance, and employ proven, humane training methods, all of which are essential in ensuring that dogs receive the support and training they deserve.
Enrolling your dog in Chino’s Caring Kennel comes with a host of advantages, such as access to seasoned dog trainers with vast experience and certifications, an emphasis on positive reinforcement techniques to nurture trust and obedience, and customized K-9 training service strategies that cater to your dog’s specific requirements. By practicing these techniques, you can form a harmonious and fulfilling alliance with your furry friend for a long, happy, and healthy life together.
Training Options
We create training programs that are customized for dogs at every stage, regardless of age, behavior, or breed – whether your dog needs intensive training for aggression or reactivity or your pup needs basic obedience. Our offerings range from comprehensive board and train programs to private lessons and group classes, all to meet your dog’s unique requirements.
Private Lessons
If your dog requires individualized training or if you prefer a one-on-one approach, our private lessons are an excellent choice. These personalized sessions are designed to address your dog’s unique behavioral goals and training needs. 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. For dogs that struggle in group settings, private sessions provide a structured and supportive learning environment where they can progress at a steady pace.
Board and Train
For dog owners seeking both convenience and expert training, our board and train program is a perfect choice. This comprehensive training experience allows your dog to develop behavioral and obedience skills while staying in a well-maintained boarding facility. Under the dedicated supervision of professional trainers, your dog will receive structured instruction and regular reinforcement throughout their stay. Whether you have a packed schedule or want your dog to receive focused training, this program offers a controlled and immersive learning environment.
AKC® Dog Training
Take your dog’s training to the next level with AKC® Trick Dog and Urban CGC at Chino’s Caring Kennel. Participate in our AKC® Trick Dog Class and delight in a memorable experience with your furry friend! Over a 6-week period, your canine companion will pick up an array of fun tricks like spinning in circles, playing dead, crawling, jumping through a hoop, high-fiving, shaking paws, barking on cue, and beyond. Your dog can obtain an AKC® “Novice” or “Intermediate” Trick Dog Title by displaying a predetermined number of tricks.
The Novice test requires showcasing 10 tricks (5 if they have a CGC title), while Intermediate adds another 10 tricks. Conducted by AKC®-endorsed CGC Evaluators, our session welcomes dogs aged 6 months and up who have successfully completed Basic Obedience or a comparable curriculum. Embrace this opportunity to deepen your relationship, hone skills, and revel in joyful experiences with your canine pal!
Sign up today for our AKC® CGC dog training sessions for a structured and results-driven approach to shaping canine behavior in public spaces. Train your dog to navigate outdoor challenges like crowds, traffic, and store visits with this class. Essential qualifications include earning the Canine Good Citizen title and being AKC® registered. It’s important to note that aggressive behavior will not be tolerated.
Group Classes
Group classes create a structured space where dogs can develop obedience skills while engaging in social interactions with dogs and people. Training with others present helps reinforce appropriate behaviors, strengthen focus, and build impulse control, even with distractions. These classes are an excellent choice for dogs starting with basic obedience or those looking to advance their skills in a more stimulating setting. Furthermore, group training provides a fun and interactive experience, helping to strengthen the connection between you and your dog.
Behavior Modification
Some dogs battle behavioral challenges such as aggression, excessive barking, reactivity, or anxiety, which can interfere with their quality of life. Our specialized behavior modification programs are structured to address these issues using individualized training plans that help dogs gain confidence and self-regulation. Through professional guidance and effective positive reinforcement, we focus on transforming unwanted behaviors to establish a safer, more harmonious bond between you and your pet. If your dog needs support with impulse control difficulties or overcoming fear-driven tendencies, our compassionate trainers are committed to helping them progress.
Service Dog Training
Immerse yourself in our Norco service dog training journey, under the guidance of a certified service dog trainer. Our K-9 trainer initiates the process with a no-cost consultation and assessment, evaluating your dog’s support requirements and compatibility with the program. After completing the initial evaluation, your service dog trainer in Norco will create a personalized K-9 training regimen across three phases. These phases consist of group workshops such as Urban Canine, CGC Level I & II, and Basic, alongside train and board options, individual lessons held either at your residence or elsewhere with a local K-9 trainer, and private field sessions. The training program covers evaluations for credentials such as AKC Community Canine®, a Public Access Test, Urban Canine Good Citizen®, and AKC Canine Good Citizen®.
Although the training is challenging, not all dogs will pass, and some may not be the right fit, those who successfully complete the program receive a Certification ID card. To ensure the success of your dog’s comprehensive training, your K-9 trainer in Norco will require your active participation and availability for instruction and lessons if you are physically capable. Reach us for further details and to schedule your consultation according to your availability.
Obedience Training
Opt for our Group Obedience courses for an engaging and impactful dog training solution. Each group of owners and their dogs will work in an intimate setting where you’ll collaborate and learn from a skilled local dog trainer. Delve into weekly hour-long sessions combined with daily 45-minute practice sessions, resolving common behavior concerns and mastering essential commands like sit and down stays, heel, recall, and loose leash walking. Also, we pay attention to highlighting the importance of nutrition and exercise, teaching appropriate greetings, and reinforcing obedience commands with distractions up to 30 feet away. Further sharpen your dog’s abilities through our Intermediate Obedience Training programs, structured to prepare them for AKC® Canine Good Citizen and Community Canine assessments, which provide legal benefits and a well-mannered pet certification. See the difference in your dog’s obedience and social manners with our helpful guidance!
