Working with a knowledgeable, experienced trainer is essential when learning to bring out the best in your dog or puppy. I had one puppy in particular, Rin, who came to me with dog aggression issues and Barbara has helped me to not only work on this issue, but has helped Rin to learn to be more comfortable with herself and with other dogs. Rin is now doing extremely well in rally obedience and I hope to be competing with her in the near future. Barbara has decades of experience (with certifications is support her expertise) in training a variety of pure and mixed breed dogs in a vast array of both sport and working dog activities. She is confident and knows what to expect from the dogs she trains and knows how to teach owners to apply her techniques for optimum results. Barbara is a rare find in that she has a true passion for training and helping people and their dogs to succeed. If one of her techniques does not work for a particular dog, she easily modifies her programs to find the correct mix for you and your dog/puppy. If I am ever crazy enough to get another puppy, you can bet Barbara will be the first person he/she meets. Thank you Barbara for all your help and I look forward to bringing home those medals and racking up those trophies! You are a treasure. Deedee and the gang....Barex, Rin, Yevi, Annie, Raven and Falon!

After spending two weeks with Pawsitive Care, and then doing day training with them for a week, she has improved so much! She's learned to walk on her leash and stay beside me waiting for me to let her know when to walk or stop, she can literally shake off her anxiety when she gets too keyed up, and she's learned to stop jumping and sit to wait for pets instead of climbing all over you. Ashley was amazing and offered advice and help even when the training period was over. Definitely recommend - my dog loved it there and it's made her (and our house) so much happier!

Canine Connection is an absolute God-Send for us Dog owners. Our belief is that whether you are…read morejust starting out w/ your new pet, or you've had her for a number of years, the training & mentoring available from Corrina is invaluable. We just recently got a new dog (Bean, a Tibetan Terrier Poodle), and we were a bit apprehensive. This is our family's first dog, and we wanted to "do it right." Having Corrina assist us w/ advice and training has created what we feel the "optimal situation" -- meaning a well-trained dog, and some (semi)-knowledgable owners! Specifically, the training regimen that Corrina uses is "positive reinforcement" and consistency. It works! Our 7 month old puppy is 100% house-broken, responds to commands, and has become an awesome member of our family. Corrina can also help w/ nutrition, medical referrals, daycare referrals, and will entertain requests for "sleep-over camp" -- or "board & train" as she calls them. The true test is that BEAN goes nuttty every time she sees Corrina. Highly recommend this pet trainer/mentor/jedi if you've got a 4-legged friend!

One of my dogs attends social club nearly every day, and the shuttle service is such a convenient bonus. The new facility is beautiful, and I'm especially excited for my pups to experience boarding in one of the larger suites soon. Thank you, Charla, Raylee, Sharon, CJ, Joe, and the entire team for the love and care you give my dogs. It means so much to know they're always in such great hands.
