CONNECTED K-9
Dogs are not linear, and neither is dog training. We recognize that every dog has different needs, personalities and capabilities. Our goal is to establish a relationship with our clients and their dogs that represents adaptation.
Connected K-9 believes in proper, balanced training, implementing markers, positive reinforcement, and structured corrections. As we get to know your dog, a curriculum specifically designed for your dog will be integrated into your home with the end goal being consistency and success.

DAY TRIPS
Structured training - out and about
Day trips are a unique and efficient ways to get training in away from home without going through our board and train route. These trips are a full day packed with socialization, exposure, and training. Your pup will enjoy a small controlled play group in the morning, practice home manners in the home, and venture out into public to work on public access skills to insure your dog can handle new environments gradually with ease.
Your pup will be picked up in the morning, then dropped off in the evening. Giving you plenty of time to do house chores, or run errands!

AKC TESTING
Connected K-9 has the privilege of
testing for AKC titles
Good Canine Citzien (CGC)
Good Canine Citizen Advanced (CGCA)
Urban Good Canine Citizen (CGCU)
S.T.A.R Puppy
The Canine Good Citizen test is a certification program that evaluates dogs in simulated everyday situations in a relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere.
The CGC test is a fantastic title to have when it comes down to home-owners insurance, landlords with pet policies, or just to have as a trophy to show you and your dogs teamwork.
After your dog passes the CGC, you have the option to go higher with the CGCA and CGCU certifications.
OFF LEASH
OBEDIENCE
Trust and Freedom
Does your dog not come when called? Zero control around birds, squirrels, or other dogs? Do you wish for your dog to have more freedom?
Off leash skills are extremely important for all dogs. It can literally save lives. It gives freedom that most dogs don't allow you the privilege to have.
We train off leash skills with a device called an e-collar. The e-collar acts a TENs unit; it is an involuntary muscle twitch, not a shock. The e-collar acts as a communication device to your dog. Please email us if you have any questions. Please see our pricing section for more information.
