We have learned as much as our dog through our relationship with Connected Canine. We have a lovely- yet spirited- pit bull puppy who has now gone though 3 weeks of board and train bootcamp (with Sarah and Blake) and is attending Saturday group classes each week (with Blake and Erin). Shadow has nailed the basics when there are limited distractions, but still struggles when there is too much fun happening around her. The free alumni classes are the perfect way to keep up her training around other people and dogs. It’s a fantastic and patient community! We continue to see her learning every week! And we are learning how to stay relaxed while she’s working. No small feat when your puppy weighs 63 pounds and could pull a sled! We highly recommend this team of trainers! They mean business, but do it with incredible love and joy!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Connected Canine. I was looking for a place where my dog could get his energy out and learn obedience. He has come so far and is a completely different dog. It was so reassuring knowing that when I left my dog he was in good hands. Blake and Charlotte did such a wonderful job each session and really covered what my dog Tucker needed. After each session they went over all the new and amazing things Tucker learned and how I can continue to build on it. I love how they keep me posted and updated with his progress and I can watch videos of how hes doing and also refer back so I know what I'm doing is right. Overall, so impressed and so happy. Absolutely love them and recommend!

We can’t thank the team at Connected Canine enough for everything they’ve done for Ruby. Before training, Ruby struggled with strangers coming into our home and made it very clear that she did not like cats or other small animals. We knew she was a great dog, but we also knew we needed help understanding how to work with her. Sara, Blake, Erin, and the entire team were incredible throughout the two weeks Ruby was with them. Their communication was excellent, and they took the time to explain not just what they were doing, but why. They never made us feel embarrassed or judged for Ruby’s behavior. Instead, they helped us better understand our working dog and gave us the tools and confidence to continue her training at home. Ruby has already made noticeable progress. We know there’s still plenty of work ahead, but we’re excited to keep building on the foundation they’ve given us. We’re also happy to know just how much Ruby loved Sara, Erin, and Blake, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was cared for by people she trusted and enjoyed being around. We’re incredibly grateful to Sara and her team for the care, patience, and dedication they showed our beloved Roo. We look forward to continuing to work with Connected Canine as Ruby grows, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, compassionate trainers. Thank you for helping us become better handlers and giving Ruby the opportunity to succeed.

Sara is AMAZING! Our daughter has brain cancer and Nyx is her best friend, but hes 75 lbs and very hyper. Sara worked with him for 6 weeks and he has amazing impulse control now! He is able to support her better, and it allows caregivers to come to the house without being body slammed. I would recommend her to anyone!

We loved working with Erin doing the Homebase program. She is so patient and answered many many questions to help us with our boy Indy, who is high energy and needed some help with reactivity and being calm in public. We still have a lot to work on, but I feel a lot more confiden…Read full reviewClose full review
