Great music and courteous and quick service. Highly recommend the Shepherds' pie as a take-home meal...not a snack, but a meal.

Our dog Maeve was treated so well here in daycare and boarding. She had fun with other dogs and also with the staff. The texts we received with photos always reassured us that she was doing well, safe and happy. Would definitely recommend!

We LOVE Canine Connection! We adopted our very first dog - Sadie - just this past April(2024). Sadie is a 90-pound Great Pyrenees mix, and we adopted her from the Butte Humane Society. She's a fantastic dog, and it was a great experience to adopt her from the Butte Humane Society. But Sadie is a very reactive dog - so she would charge after other dogs....and even cars!....on our daily walks. We had NO idea what to do - nothing seemed to work. It got to the point where we could no longer take her out because she would charge after anything that moved - barking, running, chasing, lunging, pulling, just crazy!
We started weekly lessons with Dr. Sarah and Anna about a month after we adopted Sadie - and then we started doing doggie day care at Canine Connection too. WOW - what a difference!!!! Dr. Sarah and Anna trained both Sadie and our family about dogs, walking your dog, training your dog, just everything. Within a few weeks, Sadie started to calm down on our walks - and we started to have more and more fun with her! Anna is phenomenal - she really worked intently with Sadie to learn her triggers, and how to calm her. It's like a night and day difference now - so much more fun to take Sadie out on walks!
We can't thank Dr. Sarah, Anna and Canine Connection enough - they are INCREDIBLE. Very highly recommended. Sadie LOVES doggie day care there too - she always comes home so happy, so relaxed. We are indebted to everyone there - and Sadie LOVES being there with everyone too.......and absolutely LOVES Anna!!! Thank you so so much for everything you have done for us - and for Sadie - you are the best!!!! Our walks now are fantastic - Sadie is having a blast!

Bella is so joyful when she plays at Canine Connection. The car ride to and from is also a treat. The play sessions have added so much for her. She is more calm on her daily walks during the week and her confidence is growing. I thank you a million times for this special treat for my special girl. Before I started with Canine Connection, I was so desperate and came close to re-homing Bella. Dr. Sarah and Anna helped us both communicate better. I just love seeing Bella so happy and I appreciate learning from Dr. Sarah and Anna how to help Bella navigate through a world that can be a bit scary after spending most of her life in two different shelters. You guys truly care-you're the best!

All of our dogs have loved Canine Connection! We have been including Canine Connection classes/training/boarding for the past 15 years. Dr Sarah and staff have helped to get our last puppy to come out of his shell and he shines with confidence now. We have learned so much and are always pleased with the classes and behavior of our dogs. Canine connections staff absolutely love dogs and take such great care of them.

Would not trust any other business with my fur babies. Been a client for over ten years. First class service and you know your beloved doggies are in the best hands. Priceless piece of mind.

The Canine Connection is absolutely the best dog training, daycare, and boarding facility in Chico! It’s all positive reinforcement, and Sarah Richardson, the owner, is an amazing trainer!
I’ve been so impressed at how my dog has responded to Sarah’s training methods. When he was having anxiety about wearing a harness and when exiting the car into a parking lot, she made extra time to meet with us to help my dog become more comfortable with those situations. Her love and care for our canine community is evident in everything she does!
Daycare has been a great experience; my dog is hesitant around other dogs. He was introduced to other dogs with a similar temperament in a slow and controlled way, with consideration to his response. He wasn’t just thrown into the mix.
I LOVE THE CANINE CONNECTION!!!

Theo is my 3rd Brittany that has gone through Canine Connection training but my first to use for day care and boarding. I think so highly of Canine Connection that I drive from Redding to Chico to use their services. All the staff members are just so friendly and concerned in the care of the dogs. And Day Care is always a wonderful day for Theo to play with his friends as I go play with mine. We both go home to Redding happy. I have a smile on my face and Theo falls contentedly asleep.?❤

Cannot rave enough about this place. We started with taking our energetic German Shepherd Rescue pup to puppy kindergarten there. 3 German Shepherds later, I can say that the classes have changed our relationship w our dogs over the years. We love playcare and boarding also. The staff is so so loving and my dog runs in and never looks back! They teach owners to see the world through the eyes of their dog and it helps SO much. This is my current girl, Surf and her BFF at playcare.

Kennedy and I did puppy 1, puppy 2, and fungility training anddddd social classes at the Canine Connection and we absolutely loved every single second of it. Sarah and her team are smart, attentive, and truly here to educate you and your fur baby! When I go out of town there is only one place in town I trust to take care of my baby the way I would, except here! It feels so good to know I can trust the entire team at Canine Connection. Thank you for the best education courses and home away from home. You are all the best and have helped make me a muchhhh better dog owner than I would have been left to my own devices ?

My dog, Nutmeg, has been going to The Canine Connection for six years now for various programs and services. He has enjoyed Doggie Daycare and many training classes. He loved the Small Dog Socials. Dr. Sarah has helped him so much with behavioral issues and training as well. I wholeheartedly recommend The Canine Connection as the BEST in Chico and the Northstate!

Canine Connection trainers gave us a solid foundation when we began Puppy Kindergarten. We also participated in Puppy Social Class where we met other wonderful dogs/owners. We made those personal connections because of Canine Connection and have continued weekly walks over the years. In addition to the foundational work, we took several continuing education classes. The trainers are knowledgeable & caring. The classes are personal, informative & very helpful.
