We did a 4 week board and train with Connected Canine for our 11 month old 82lb “puppy” and we are SO HAPPY with his behavior since he’s been home! He is an alpha male, smart, stubborn dog and he is absolutely a different dog in the best ways since we picked him up. The trainers have all been fantastic but Erin is the one who worked 1:1 with our dog and we’ve already had two follow up sessions with her, mainly for us to understand what he’s learned and how to best coach him going forward. We have young kids and we knew we needed a well trained dog for everyone’s sanity. Would absolutely do the program again, and in fact we are boarding him here again in a few weeks during a trip. It’s nice to know he’ll be well cared for and around people who care about him!

Sara and her team run a great boarding and training program. She’s easy to communicate with and my dog always comes back happy and healthy. We’ve worked with her on training too and she is wonderful and has great tools to use! I’ve recommended Connected Canine to 2 friends and both have had great experiences. Five stars for sure!

I can’t say enough good things about Sara and her team! My dog, Freddie, used to be very reactive and difficult to manage. After working with the trainers (big thanks to Jada and Blake), he’s now calm, well-behaved, and such a good boy. The training methods were clear, effective, and tailored to Freddie’s needs. I’m so grateful for the transformation and would definitely recommend Connected Canine to anyone looking for real results.
