Montclair, California in San Bernardino County offers a surprisingly solid experience for dog owners. While the city itself doesn’t have an off-leash dog park, nearby options abound—including Sniffspot rentals and large regional parks just minutes away. On-leash walks are easy to find, especially at the Waterwise Community Center, which welcomes leashed dogs through its native plant gardens. Local ordinances require dogs to be licensed, leashed, and reasonably quiet—chronic barking can get you cited. While Montclair isn’t a pet paradise, it’s dog-tolerant with access to great amenities nearby, making it a convenient home base for inland SoCal dog lovers.
