Training Options
Our tailored training programs suit dogs of all ages, and behavior levels, and breeds, covering everything from basic puppy obedience to advanced behavioral training for aggressive or reactive dogs. We offer an immersive experience customized to your dog’s training needs, with options that include private instruction, interactive group sessions, and board and train programs.
Group Classes
In a structured group environment, dogs can socialize with both people and other dogs while working on obedience skills. Training in a group setting helps reinforce focus, impulse control, and appropriate behavior – even with distractions. These classes are beneficial for dogs at all levels, from those mastering foundational manners to those progressing in their training. Furthermore, group training provides a fun and interactive experience, helping to strengthen the connection between you and your dog.
Private Lessons
If your dog requires specialized training or you prefer a one-on-one learning experience, our private lessons provide the perfect solution. These one-on-one sessions are customized to address your dog’s individual behavior goals and training needs. Whether you need help addressing behavioral challenges, preparing for higher-level training, or enhancing obedience, our expert trainers will develop a program tailored to your dog. Dogs that struggle with distractions in group classes can also benefit from private lessons, where they can learn at a pace that suits them best.

Behavior Modification
Dogs struggling with anxiety, aggression, excessive barking, or reactivity often require targeted training to help them succeed. Our structured behavior modification programs are created to address these difficulties through customized training plans that help dogs develop confidence and stability. Using expert knowledge and reward-based techniques, we help dogs replace negative behaviors with more desirable responses, leading to a safer and more fulfilling relationship 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 Upland service dog training journey, under the guidance of a certified service dog trainer. A K-9 trainer will begin with a free consultation and assessment to determine your dog’s suitability and assistance needs. After the initial assessment, your service dog trainer in Upland will develop a personalized K-9 training regimen consisting of three stages. These stages include group classes like Basic, CGC Level I & II, and Urban Canine, in addition to individual lessons conducted at home or in an off-site location with a local K-9 trainer, board and train options, and private field sessions. Certification exams including a Public Access Test, AKC Canine Good Citizen®, Urban Canine Good Citizen®, and AKC Community Canine® will be part of the training process.
The training is thorough and demanding, and not every dog will meet the standards or be suitable for the course, but successful completion earns a Certification ID card. To ensure the success of your dog’s comprehensive training, your K-9 trainer in Upland will require your active participation and availability for instruction and lessons if you are physically capable. Contact us to receive more information and to set up your consultation at a time that works for you.
Board and Train
For dog owners seeking both convenience and expert training, our board and train program is a perfect choice. This program is designed to help dogs develop obedience and behavioral skills in a supervised environment with ongoing reinforcement from professional trainers. With a focus on consistency and hands-on instruction, this program helps dogs gain confidence and discipline. This program is especially beneficial for busy pet owners or those who want their dog to experience focused training in a supervised setting.
Obedience Training
Enroll your dog in our Group Obedience courses for an engaging and effective training solution. With other owners and dogs in your group, you’ll share experiences and work 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. In addition, we focus on highlighting the significance of nutrition and physical activity, reinforcing obedience commands in the face of distractions up to 30 feet away, and instilling proper greeting manners. Enhance your dog’s skills with our Intermediate Obedience Training levels, designed to ready them for AKC® Canine Good Citizen and Community Canine evaluations, which grant legal benefits and a well-mannered pet certification. Experience the joy of seeing your dog excel in obedience and social skills!
The Importance of Dog Training
Choosing Chino’s Caring Kennel for your dog’s education offers numerous benefits, including access to certified dog trainers with years of experience, personalized K-9 training service plans that accommodate your dog’s unique qualities, and an emphasis on positive reinforcement techniques that nurture obedience and trust. This promotes a harmonious and pleasant connection between you and your furry friend, leading to a more joyful and fulfilling life.
Training your dog is fundamental for promoting good behavior, facilitating effective communication, and fostering a strong human-canine relationship. Contrary to what many believe, dog training can be effective regardless of the dog’s age. The cognitive abilities of dogs allow them to learn and adjust throughout their lives. The role of professional dog training services is pivotal because they offer expert guidance, employ effective, humane training methods, and provide structured learning, all of which are essential in ensuring that dogs receive the training and support they need to meet their full potential.
