FirstBarkI use Sara’s boarding service for our puppy whenever we travel, and I’ve been truly happy with their service. The facility is very clean and well-maintained, and the staff are friendly, professional, and attentive.

I’ve been bringing my extremely anxious and not confident boxer-mix (5 yrs old) to Connected Canine for board and train for several months almost weekly when I travel for work. Sara and her team have worked wonders with my little potato. Every week, her confidence grows. And, she actually LOVES being with the Connected Canine team. I had contacted other trainers who had very little patience for my sweet girl. Sara and her team not only have patience for her, but they seek to understand her and create an environment in which she feels safe and can thrive. Connected Canine has been a phenomenal fit for us, and we would highly recommend them!

If we could give them a million stars, we would. They’ve been beyond incredible with our dogs and we truly cannot believe how much progress our pups have made. But even more importantly to us - as a business, they have gone so far above and beyond for us and our pups at every opportunity. AND they do such amazing work training dogs who are waiting for a family to find them. We truly have endless positive things to say about them, would recommend them to anyone and everyone. 1,000,000/10 ⭐️

I wish I could give this place a 100 stars. Since day one that we met Sara and entered her home, which is also her business, I have been truly amazed, impressed, and truly grateful. You see this cute smiling boy? This is our Champie. He loves us but he does not like any other humans. I should say he didn't like any other humans until we found Sara. Champie loves going to connected canine. He gets to play and run around and feel safe while we're away. Sara and her team take the time to socialize and play with him. He always seems so happy. I'd like to also speak to the lonely 1 one star review that was given to connected canine. I too, was very skeptical at first when I wasn't able to see where they were kenneled. However it was explained about the insurance. And we went on faith and other reviews that first time. Since then, we've shared our succrss story with so many others including the rescue we got Champie from. They are so stringent and particular on where and who boards and trains their dogs before adoption that there is no way they would even consider, never mind contract and use Sarah and connected canine without her meeting the utmost of standards and expectations of ethics, care, and environment. I owe Sarah and her team a world of gratitude because without them, we would not be able to enjoy and cherish time with our fsmilirs sll of which live out-of-state. These pics are all from Sara and her team while staying with them Thank you from the bottom of this dog-mom's heart ❤️.
Sara, Jada and the gang are great. They worked with both my dogs and brought out the best. They proved that any dog can be trained.....the owners on the other hand..... Highly recommend!!
