In-Home Dog Training in the Inland Empire
A well-behaved dog starts at home.
Struggling with pulling, jumping, reactivity, aggression, or a new puppy? Empire K9 brings private dog training to your home in Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland and across the Inland Empire, so your dog learns where the problems actually happen.
What Is In-Home Dog Training?
In-home dog training means your trainer comes to you. Every session is private and one-on-one, built around your dog and your household. We start where the problems happen: the front door, the kitchen, the backyard, your street. Once your dog is listening at home, we take the training out to parks, sidewalks and busy places around the Inland Empire.
You train alongside us the whole way. No group classes, no strange facility, no guessing what to do once the trainer leaves. You learn the same skills your dog learns, so the results last.
Why Train at Home?
- Real problems, real setting. Dogs don't misbehave in a training facility the way they do at home. We fix the behavior where it shows up.
- The whole family learns. Everyone who handles the dog gets the same rules and the same commands.
- Better for reactive and fearful dogs. Your dog starts in a familiar place, then builds up to distractions at a pace it can handle.
- Fits your schedule. No driving across town or waiting for a class to start.

Choose Your Dog Training Program
Your dog is different, and your training plan should be too. Most families start with private in-home training, and we'll recommend the best fit after your evaluation.
Puppy Training
Start your puppy off the right way at home.
Build better habits early with help for potty training, crate training, biting, jumping, leash foundations, recall, place and basic obedience.
In-Home Obedience
Fix problems where they actually happen.
If your dog pulls, jumps, ignores commands, struggles with distractions or needs better manners, we work with you and your dog at home and in real-world environments.
Dog Aggression & Behavior Modification
Help for reactive and aggressive dogs.
Lunging on leash, guarding, aggression toward people or dogs, or dogs fighting at home. Every case starts with an in-home evaluation.
Board & Train
Want us to do more of the training for you?
Your dog stays and trains with us in an intensive program focused on obedience, manners, communication and real-world reliability. Then we come to your home to teach you how to keep the training going.

Why In-Home Training Works in Real Life
Your dog needs to listen where it matters: at home, on walks, around your family and around everyday distractions. That's why every Empire K9 program ends with your dog performing in your real life, not just in a training session.
Private in-home training teaches you and your dog together, right where the problems happen. Board & Train is a more intensive, trainer-led option, followed by in-home sessions so you can keep the results.

In-Home Dog Training FAQ
Quick answers to the questions dog owners ask before requesting an evaluation.
What is in-home dog training?
It's private, one-on-one training where the trainer comes to your home. We work on the behaviors you're actually dealing with, in the place they happen, then take the training out into real-world settings.
Do you come to my home?
Yes. Private training happens at your home and in your neighborhood across the Inland Empire, including Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Chino, Fontana, Corona and nearby cities.
Which training option is right for my dog?
Most dogs do best with private in-home training, because you learn alongside your dog. Board & Train is a good fit if you want us to do more of the work up front. We'll recommend the right option after your evaluation.
Can you help if my dog is aggressive or reactive?
Yes. Aggression and reactivity cases start with an in-home evaluation so we can understand your dog's history and triggers. From there we build an obedience foundation, then work through controlled exposure at your dog's pace.
How young can my puppy start?
Puppies can start at approximately 8 weeks old. Starting early is the easiest way to prevent problems like biting, jumping and potty accidents.
What happens during an evaluation?
We meet you and your dog at your home, learn what's going on, see how your dog responds to guidance, and recommend a training plan. The in-home evaluation is $99, and we call you first to set it up.
How much does in-home dog training cost?
The New Puppy Session is $250 for 1.5 hours, Puppy Foundation is $800 for 5 sessions, In-Home Training is $1,500 for 10 sessions, and 30-Day Board & Train is $3,500. The $99 evaluation is separate and is not credited toward a program. Serious behavior cases are priced after the evaluation.
