What do they charge for a small dog to stay for a week?

Thank you for the information. We will stop by after we get settled in Chico.

Canine Connection specializes in the emotional wall being of dogs. They rotate the dogs between rest time and play time in groups and have 24hr human supervision on site. They also figure out the environment each dog prefers: couch, office, chair, crate, kennel, etc. So it’s not the least expensive boarding option in town. It’s also not automatic. They will want to meet your dog and see how it interacts with other dogs before you make a reservation.

In December of 2024, my husband and I adopted a puppy from Butte Humane Society. We were very excited to add this baby to our family, but bringing home a puppy who didn't have any training at all was much more challenging than I ever could have imagined. We discovered Canine Connection and I truly don't know where I would be without them. We have had private training sessions, did puppy socialization, and just recently completed puppy kindergarten. We are already signed up for our next class- Acing Adolescence. Every single person we've worked with through Canine Connection has been so incredibly caring and supportive. They truly care so much about you, your dog, and the relationship you foster with your pet. They approach every situation and question with expertise, compassion, kindness, and zero judgment. We are working on our doggy daycare application. We will be lifelong clients of Canine Connection!

Canine Connection is an amazing place to bring your dog. The staff is so friendly and wonderful to work with our dog. We’ve been coming for over 10 years to their day care, overnight care and training classes. The owner, Sarah, loves our dogs especially our chocolate lab Jasper. She has started a class for “old dogs new tricks.” It’s amazing. Our Jasper loves it and enjoys the other dogs as well. Sarah is committed to providing the best care for our dogs. Thank you Sarah for all you do.

Where do I even begin? I am so grateful to have found Canine Connection. I’m not sure I would have survived puppyhood without them! My now 8-month-old Elye has graduated from both Puppy Kindergarten and Acing Adolescence, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Sarah and the other trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their work. Their unique approach focuses on building a strong bond with your dog, and I learned so much from them. They’re always available for additional help or support, offering great ideas and solutions to those challenging puppy problems. Elye also goes to daycare twice a week, and I never have to worry about her—I know she’s in the best hands. I love that the dogs are grouped by similar play styles and that they make sure everyone gets the rest they need. Elye has such a blast that when I pick her up, she never wants to leave! The entire team at Canine Connection is truly exceptional. Every trainer and staff member is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so kind and welcoming. It’s clear they love what they do, and that passion shines through in everything—from training classes to daycare. I always look forward to pick-up, where we get to chat about Elye’s day. Their warmth and enthusiasm make it feel like more than just a business—it’s a community. I cannot recommend Canine Connection enough. Thank you to everyone who works there for creating such a wonderful place for our pups!

If you are a dog lover and owner you really need to check out The Canine Connection. Sarah’s training is research based and effective, the facilities are state of the art and the staff are all knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. Our energetic Aussiedoodle is at her happiest after time spent here. An exceptional resource for our canine companions!

Great music and courteous and quick service. Highly recommend the Shepherds' pie as a take-home meal...not a snack, but a meal.
