I’ve been taking my pup to Canine Connection since she was 9 weeks old. She is 9 years old now! We started with puppy training and have frequented Canine Connection ever since. Tanzy goes every Saturday to play with her pupdawg friends. Truly it is our dog’s home away from home. The staff has big hearts and are excellently trained. It is the best place for you and your pup!

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.

We’ve loved Canine Connection for about 15 years and 4 German Shepherds! Having rescues, our dogs had different needs for socialization, training, anxiety etc. Sarah and her staff helped us identify each dog’s specific needs and made accommodations to meet those needs. Can’t say enough positive about them!
We just finished our puppy kindergarten class and can’t thank the staff at Canine Connections enough for such a great experience. We learned just as much as our puppy if not more. We highly recommend the training classes to anyone with a puppy, they are definitely worth the cost.
We love the Canine Connection and their philosophy on training a dog. Anna (our trainer) has been helping us understand Violet (our dog) a lot better and training her to stop pulling on the leash. She's also practicing not being reactive to certain situations. I highly recommend these guys.
If you love your dog, this the perfect place for boarding, training and play groups. Posting for Daisy the Doodle.
