Norco, California, United States
We have been training dogs for many years. We enjoy not only the training but bonding with our canines. We use a reward based training program, marking the correct behavior and rewarding when doing so. This creates a positive association for doing the command requested.

After looking around at a few other facilities around the area, I found myself at HOPE and my pitbull/husky mix, Daisy, and I couldn’t have been more blessed. The level of knowledge that the trainers possess and the level of care they and the rest of the staff show to the dogs is otherworldly. If you are ever in need of a quality dog trainer, I highly recommend you go to HOPE Dog Training. More...

I called this dog training facility and asked what their training philosophy was and what kind of tools they use for training and they use prong collars and E collars. Basically they inflict pain on the dogs in order to training them producing fear. They were also very vague in their explanation on their philosophy and the girl had to keep putting me on hold in order to answer my questions. Then when I asked about certification, she put me back on hold and a new person got on the phone and said, how can I help you. So I had to start all over. Brittney (I think her name was, not sure) said, "They do have certifications, I can't see them from here because they are on the wall, but. you can come down here and look at the wall, or you can ask a trainer during the evaluation." So basically I have to pay first or drive down to Norco and look on their wall because they don't know off hand, or can't go look at the wall to tell potential clients what certifications their trainers have. All of this is a big red flag. People need to ask these questions because there are a lot of people who say they are trainer, but are not. They sounded good on their website at first. More...

I brought my dog here for the 3 week board & train program who was having some severe behavioral issues. Prior to training I was very uneducated on all the different tools that can be used. My trainer was amazing and taught me all the right things about each tool and gave me a clear understanding of each one. You hear a lot of back lash on training tools but in reality it’s the improper use that creates issues. My boy came back a completely different dog in all the positive ways. Giving me the correct methods and management for afterwards has made all the difference. He’s amazing now I couldn’t thank HOPE enough! Plus the pictures of my boy while I was gone really helped ease my mind and I use those videos for reference! I’d give 10000 stars if I could ! More...

I enjoyed the daily photos of my dogs. It was the first time being away from us so I was pretty nervous and so were the dogs. The staff took them out daily and were able to keep them together. The facility was clean and there were many dogs there so that was a good sign. I will definitely return with my dogs. More...

My husband and I sent our Belgian Mal. to the 3 week in-house training program at HOPE Dog Training. We recieved pictures and videos throughout the training showing his progress. He was able to play and interact with other dogs. Our pupp went from selectively listening to sit and stay commands, to positive obedience. He is obedient on walks and needs very little redirection. We were so happy with the outcome and referred our close family members, who came all the way from Orange County. Thank you HOPE Dog Training!!!!! More...

I do not recommend Hope dog training. They pushed my pup beyond his threshold and made him worse... I do not feel they know how to read a dog's body language as I was told conflicting ways to handle his behavior. So disappointed a lot of money wasted! More...

Nice people, they run their business well and allow you to see some of the training through videos they send to your phone. They also answer any questions you may have and genuinely care about the dogs. I'd definitely recommend them to help train your dog. More...

I want to thank Daniel at H.O.P.E. dog training for all of his help with Birdie Mae. Even though she flunked her first puppy class because I wasn't trained enough, she went to a show and was well behaved! We had our first puppy class 101 repeat, tonight, and she was much more focused. I am looking forward to her becoming an agility dog with their help! More...

I'm so grateful I didn't choose another place just because I live a bit of a jaunt away. Coming here was the best decision I could have made after moving from Irvine to Colton with my shelter rescue, Drago. He's the sweetest boy, and he'd come very far in our six months together. He'd only seen the bad in the world before we met, so when we met and bonded so quickly and deeply, he developed some protective issues. He had never played with other dogs, and he had a few unpleasant experiences with some dogs before going to HOPE Dog training. The trainers are absolutely amazing with him. We only had two months to help lessen his issues before relocating. They worked with him so well that he has improved to a degree beyond what I could have hoped in our limited time. He's even experienced fun play with other dogs! It's so obvious that they love our dogs almost as much as we do. I left Drago at daycare two days a week and took classes on Saturdays. I highly recommend bringing your dog, either for training or just a good time. I know my Drago will miss them when we move this week. More...

I have to say I'm extremely pleased with everyone at Hope Dog Training. I have utilized their day training and boarding services. Darcy and the team truly love dogs and that makes a big difference in the experience. Every time I leave my dog George with them I know he's in great hands. They even communicate with you through text, with videos to let you know that you dog is doing great which helps put my mind at ease. Their prices for all their services are extremely reasonable. I'm so thankful I've found this place. More...
