At Critical Thinking Dog Services, our private dog training in Chino Hills provides fully customized, one-on-one coaching designed around your dog’s unique behavior, goals, and learning style.
Training That's Built Around Your Dog
No two dogs are the same — and your training shouldn't be either. Private dog training at
Critical Thinking Dog Services gives you dedicated, one-on-one time with a professional trainer
who will build a program specifically for your dog's personality, history, and goals.
Whether you're starting from scratch with a new puppy, working through a specific challenge, or
fine-tuning skills your dog already has, private sessions give you the focused attention and
personalized guidance that group classes simply can't provide.

A customized training plan with clear milestones
One-on-one time with a certified trainer — no distractions, no waiting
Hands-on coaching so you learn alongside your dog
Homework and follow-up support between sessions

Where We Train
In-Home Sessions
Many of the challenges dog owners face happen at home — barking at the door, jumping on guests, counter-surfing, or anxiety when left alone. Training in your environment means we address those behaviors where they actually happen, giving your dog real-world practice in the context that matters most.
On Location
We also offer sessions at parks, on neighborhood walks, or in other environments where your dog struggles. Training in real-world settings builds reliability that goes far beyond the living room.
What We Work On
Private training can cover any behavior, skill, or challenge. Common focus areas include:
Basic and advanced obedience commands
Leash manners and loose-leash walking
Jumping, nipping, and impulse control
Separation anxiety and crate training
Reactivity toward dogs or strangers
Confidence building for shy or fearful dogs
Advanced skills like off-leash reliability and place command
Why Choose Private Training
Private sessions move at your dog's pace, not the group's. Progress is faster because the
trainer's full attention is on your dog, and every session is built around what your dog
specifically needs that day. You also learn to become a better handler — understanding your
dog's body language, timing your rewards correctly, and building a communication system that
lasts long after training ends.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many private sessions will my dog need?
It depends on your dog and your goals. Most owners see meaningful results in 4 to 8 sessions for basic obedience and manners. Complex behavioral issues may require more. We'll give you a realistic timeline after the initial assessment.
Can family members join the sessions?
Yes, and we encourage it. Consistency across everyone in the household is key to lasting
results. The more people who learn the communication system, the faster your dog improves.
Do you offer packages?
Yes, we offer session packages at a discounted rate. Contact us after your assessment and we'll recommend the right package based on your goals and timeline.
