The Dog Connection provides expert, relationship-based dog training and behavior support tailored to you and your dog’s unique needs. Backed by experience, rigorous credentials, and ongoing education, we deliver modern, integrative programs that prioritize wellness, enrichment, environmental design, ethical behavior modification, and family education.

We offer highly specialized support with private in-home and virtual services, often collaborating with veterinarians and specialists to address the underlying causes and contributors to behavioral challenges. Our goal is to reduce stress for both dogs and their people through targeted, holistic, evidence-based interventions.

Our mission is to enhance overall wellness and strengthen the human-canine bond by equipping families with the knowledge, tools, and problem-solving skills to navigate life together—fostering trust, confidence, and resilience in a safe, positive learning environment.

The Dog Connection specializes in fear, aggression, anxiety, deaf dogs and newly adopted dogs and puppies. The Dog Connection does not treat separation anxiety.
