"Sarah is awesome. She is as patient with us as she is with our dogs (and we're the hard ones to teach). Jonah really responded. I'm so glad we came to this class. I was ready to give up."

  -- Penny Lillie (Jonah's guardian)

"I felt like I learned how to communicate with Mowgli, and once that happened we've been learning faster and without frustration. What we learned will be useful throughout Mowgli's life."

  -- Marci Gall (Mowgli's guardian)

"Dr. Sarah is genuinely excited and passionate about helping you and your companion! Maggie and I had FUN! And Maggie and I became better connected. I didn't think positive training would be as easy and effective as it is…so glad we took the class!"

  -- Candace Kremer (Maggie's guardian)

"Sarah is a wealth of knowledge. I learned almost as much about myself as I did my dog!"

  -- Jean and Lain Hensley (Piko's guardians)

"I have attended quite a few training classes with my three dogs, but never really made solid progress with my handling skills. I came to The Canine Connection (all the way from Red Bluff), hoping this would be the answer I was looking for. My dogs are so happy that I did! Now, training is fun for me and my dogs, and we are all improving rapidly!"

  -- Connie Graham (Spencer's guardian)

"The Canine Connection, from staffing to instruction, is a thorough program for dogs of any size or age. My puppy loves Sarah, the instructor, and I have learned ways to train my dog by precise modeling provided by Sarah in each class. Sarah and her assistants are encouraging and positive with both owners and dogs. Thanks to the Canine Connection for helping us give our puppy a GREAT START IN LIFE!"

  -- Joyce Feazel (Bella's guardian)

"This is a great way to quickly build a bond with your puppy/dog. The concept of Click and Treat seems strange at first, but the results are really amazing! Gus made more eye contact with me in one week than he had in the 2 months prior to this class! Look at me! Click and Treat!"

  -- Doni Carter (Gus' guardian)

"Puppy Kindergarten was a fantastic learning experience for both my puppy and me. Sarah and her instructors are so knowledgeable and entertaining. I learned how powerful positive reinforcement can be. It reminds me to use it with my kids too!"

  -- Deidra Cross (Lucy's guardian)

"Sarah Richardson is incredible! She is a wonderful trainer and amazing with the dogs!"

  -- Sarah Anderson (Luna's guardian)

"My dog Levie and I had such enjoyable times each week! As our car approached, she got excited and her gave her little happy whining noises. The class sessions seem to energize her, and encouraged me."

  -- Barbara Mahler (Levie's guardian)

"We're so glad we started out, early on, training with Ariel. She has been such a wonderful experience and we have much appreciation for The Canine Connection and staff."

  -- Mitch and Blair Mootz (Ariel's guardians)

"I think that the classes have made the connection between Petey and me improve 100%. He's a totally different dog at home now. He's just much more loving and attentive. I can't wait to start the other two dogs in their classes."

  -- Cynthia Rodrigues (Petey's guardian)
