Canine Connection

Unfortunately, my dog cannot go to this doggy daycare because he isn’t fixed. He’s a purebred and I don’t intend on doing so. It seems there are no doggie daycare centers in Chico that will allow my dog, which is complete BS.

Fantastic place, my dogs always come back happy and exhausted from all of their fun play! Absolutely can not say enough good things about Canine Connection!

We LOVE Canine Connection and so does our girl Dolly!
We received a recommendation for Canine Connections puppy social from our vet, we have a jack-​pit (jack russell/​pit bull) so we knew the importance of ensuring her proper socialization. I still remember 10 pound Dolly heading into social for the first time and being put in the area with other shy first timers… she hid under chairs and people’s feet. We so wanted her to be in the main area running and romping and soon enough she was. Thanks to the excellent supervision and knowledge from the staff Dolly has become a confident social butterfly.
Dolly has tried it all at Canine Connection… puppy kindergarten, daycare, and boarding, and we hope to enroll her in more training classes and possibly agility (YES!!! they offer that) in the near future.
Dolly has been to other daycare facilities all over California, but none compare to Canine Connection. We always know she is someplace safe and having the best possible time when we take her there (the pictures of our girl prove it). The Seville Campus is absolutely amazing and a rarity from what we have seen at other facilities. I liken it to the Disneyland for dogs. Sarah has hired the cream of the crop and you can tell that everyone that works there is in LOVE with dogs! Canine Connection has been invaluable in the socialization of our girl. We can not praise Sarah and team enough! We are so fortunate to have such an amazing place for our 4 legged friends here in Chico.

We love the Canine Connection! Sarah and her staff are completely dedicated to taking care of our furry, four-​legged friend, Buddy. We know he will be safe, well-​cared-​for and relaxed during his stay at Seville. I daresay, a little spoiled, even :)!
Sarah knew our family was interested in adopting a dog from the Butte Humane Society and even helped us in our final decision. We will be celebrating a year with Buddy this month, and couldn’t be happier!
Thank you Sarah and your terrific staff!

The Canine Connection is a wonderful place to train yourself and your dog! We have trained with The Canine Connection with three of our dogs. Just started Puppy Kindergarten with our dog Gracie! I felt successful on the very first training class. The positive training produces dogs who are joyful, pleasant to be around, and ready to please! I have also boarded my dogs — all four — at the south campus of The Canine Connection. While being boarded, the are so loved! Staff at this facility are wonderful with their interactions with the dogs. Joy abounds! They take lots of pictures of their VIPs — very important pooches! Posting those pictures where we can see them and feel assured that our dogs are having a great time. You will be so happy with your relationship with The Canine Connection!

I LOVE CANINE CONNECTION.
We adopted a lovely little nutcase from Butte Humane Society, and immediately realized we were in over our head. At 6 months old, we were having potty accidents, didn’t know any tricks, pulled on the leash, was super hyperactive. I wondered if I was a dog person at all. Maybe I should have got a cat. Maybe I just wasn’t ready for fido.
We had housesit for a couple with two amazing Dobermans. Well behaved, so clever, we made a last ditch effort to save our relationship with our new dog. We asked where they took training classes. We sucked up the fact that the fee was higher than we anticipated, and we gave it a shot. We entered a wonderful small group class.
I quickly learned where I was communicating wrong with my dog. Where I was making her crazier. Why she didn’t understand what I wanted her to do. I THOUGHT I knew what to do. Oh how wrong I was. If it’s not working, your doing it wrong.
This is a positive reinforcement facility. Great for a dog who is neurotic. You might think fido won’t listen, but she will. Sarah Richardson is a godsend for new puppy parents. I’m sad to say I ever thought about giving up my wonderful Harley, she’s a lovely dog.
We learned to sit, lay down, chill (favorite), wait, stay, «go to your place» so we can answer the door without them crowding it. We learned some leash skills. We learned a little recall. We crammed all this into about 6 – 8 weeks. People were so impressed with our little genius dog– which left us baffled because we had been so frustrated with her!
I admit, we’ve not been as good at keeping up the training as we should, we don’t practice all these things that frequently, but she still seems to know most of them with a 5 minute refresher. I still attribute her being such a good dog to Canine Connection– and definitely give them all the credit for why we felt confident enough to adopt yet another rescue dog less than a year later.
