The Importance of Dog Training
The importance of dog training lies in its ability to promote good behavior, deepen the bond between humans and their dogs, and improve communication with families. Don’t believe the statement, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” because it’s completely off-base. With their impressive intellect, dogs can adapt and be taught new things at any age. The significance of professional dog training services lies in their use of humane, effective training methods, delivery of expert guidance, and proven education structure, which all contribute to ensuring that dogs receive the training and support they deserve and need.
Bringing your dog to Chino’s Caring Kennel allows you to reap a multitude of rewards, including tailored K-9 training service regimens that address your dog’s specific requirements, the guidance of certified dog trainers boasting years of expertise, and an emphasis on positive reinforcement techniques that foster a bond of trust and encourage obedient behavior. This promotes a harmonious and gratifying relationship between you and your canine companion, leading to a life filled with joy and happiness together.
Training Options
Our expert training programs are designed for dogs of all behavioral levels, ages, and breeds – whether your puppy is learning basic commands or your reactive or aggressive dog requires advanced intervention. Our services are tailored to fit your dog’s unique needs, with options like comprehensive board and train, dynamic group classes, and one-on-one private lessons.
Service Dog Training
Immerse yourself in our Walnut service dog training journey, under the guidance of a certified service dog trainer. Our K-9 trainer starts the process with a no-cost consultation and assessment, gauging your dog’s assistance requirements and appropriateness for the program. After the initial assessment, your service dog trainer in Walnut will create a bespoke K-9 training strategy across three phases. These phases include group workshops such as CGC Level I & II, Basic, and Urban Canine, along with train and board options, individual lessons held either at your residence or elsewhere with a local K-9 trainer, and private field sessions. Testing for certifications like AKC Canine Good Citizen®, AKC Community Canine®, Urban Canine Good Citizen®, and a Public Access Test will be included.
Because of the challenging nature of the training, not every dog will succeed, and some may not meet the criteria, but those who excel receive a Certification ID card. To ensure the success of your dog’s comprehensive training, your K-9 trainer in Walnut will require your active participation and availability for instruction and lessons if you are physically capable. Get in touch with us to learn more and to set up your consultation session.
Obedience Training
Our professional dog obedience training service offers a fun and effective way to train your dog through Group Obedience courses. Working alongside other owners and dogs, you’ll share experiences and work with a dedicated local dog trainer. Weekly hour-long sessions are complemented by daily 45-minute practice sessions, covering essential commands like loose leash walking, heel, sit and down stays, recall, and addressing common behavioral issues. Additionally, we focus on proper greetings, nutrition, exercise, and obedience commands with distractions up to 30 feet away. Our two levels of Intermediate Obedience Training further enhance your dog’s skills, preparing them for the AKC® Canine Good Citizen and Community Canine evaluations, offering legal benefits and a well-mannered pet certification. Join us to see your dog thrive in obedience and social manners!
Group Classes
A structured group class gives dogs the opportunity to engage with other dogs and people while developing obedience skills. Training in this type of environment helps improve focus, encourage appropriate behavior, and reinforce impulse control, even when the dog is surrounded by distractions. These classes are a perfect fit for dogs learning basic manners and commands, as well as those looking to take their training further. Plus, group training offers an enjoyable and interactive way for you and your dog to connect and build a stronger relationship through shared learning.
Board and Train
Designed for busy owners or those looking for a thorough training option, our board and train program combines professional instruction with exceptional boarding services. This program provides an opportunity for dogs to develop essential obedience and behavior skills while receiving top-tier care. Under the supervision of experienced trainers, dogs will experience a structured environment with positive reinforcement techniques used 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.
Private Lessons
We offer private training lessons for pet parents seeking one-on-one guidance or for dogs that need a personalized approach. This training format is designed to address your dog’s unique needs and specific behavior goals. Whether you’re aiming to enhance obedience, eliminate unwanted behaviors, or prepare for advanced training, our professional trainers will develop a tailored plan 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
Behavioral challenges like aggression, reactivity, anxiety, or excessive barking can affect a dog’s ability to interact positively with people and other animals. Our targeted behavior modification programs tackle these issues through tailored training plans that build emotional balance and confidence. 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. Whether your dog struggles with fear-based triggers or needs better impulse control, our trainers are ready to assist.
