The trainers at Creature Connections are incredible. They listen to your concerns about your dogs. They love your dogs like they are their own animals. You will not be disappointed with their training.

We have had such great experiences with Candie and her team! We brought our rescue Aussie mix to Candie multiple times. As a rescue pup, she missed some socialization. Candie was able to help walk us through what proper play behavior looks like. She and her team are very knowledgable and have continued to go above and beyond to provide personalized training whilst in a group setting. As a first time dog owner myself, I am so glad I found Creature Connections Behavior Alliance because I have learned so much about training, nutrition, enrichment, psychology and socialization for my pups!

We have really enjoyed working with Candie. She takes time to talk with each owner or family at the start of each class, so everyone has a chance for personal attention. Our Abigail has made great progress. She gives Candie two paws up!

Our rescue dog (and us!) have loved getting to know and work with Candace. She truly has an understanding for dogs who need a little extra help and has been extremely compassionate. I would recommend to her anyone who is looking for a trainer.

Our puppy Bruno completed level 1 and currently in level 2. We can’t say enough good things about Candie and her team. We have learned so much and able to train Bruno in a variety of important things to make him a well rounded pup. Our family is active in the training during group classes and homework guides are sent home for us to practice what we learned in class. We have been successful with Bruno and highly recommend Creature connections for your pup too!
