Dog trainers in Upland, CA

Upland sits at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains in western San Bernardino County, between Rancho Cucamonga to the east, Claremont to the west and Ontario and Montclair to the south. Six dog training listings are based in Upland, one of them the training service of a national pet store chain. The independent side is unusually strong for a town of its size: an owner-operated facility with long board and train programs, a training facility with weekly classes, a balanced trainer who specializes in off-leash work, a trainer who teaches in parks and homes, and an in-home coach with day training and dog sports. Most start with a free consultation or evaluation.
