Sarah Richardson and staff genuinely and deeply care for every dog and dog parent they serve. Their compassion and support are unsurpassed, and level of expertise unmatched. They have assisted me with everything from basic and intermediate obedience, to behavior modification for aggression issues we once faced. One of the best things about attending class at Canine Connection, is I am a better handler and dog owner as a result. They really encourage and train team building with your dog, while respecting individuality. My dogs are happy and confident, and our human/canine relationship is solid thanks to our experience with Canine Connection.” -Tricia Grunerud, Yelp Reviews https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/1592888062249-DPNL76D2EFQBSUV3FR3G/Katie%2BSorensen.jpg Testimonials - “The Canine Connection is the best place in the Chico area for training, doggy daycare, and boarding. The owner, Sarah Richardson, takes care of her business with attention to detail and suberb professionalism. When I took my newly adopted dog to Basic Obedience, she said my dog had a great temperament for therapy work, so she helped train my pup and I as a therapy dog team, which is incredibly rewarding for both me and my dog. I can't say enough positive things about The Canine Connection ~ all of their services are well worth the price. Happy dogs, happy people!” -Katie Sorensen.

The people that work here clearly care about the dogs and we know when we drop our pup off for daycare he will be well taken care of (he’s actually run back and tried to get them to let him back in because he was having too much fun to go home). In addition to daycare we’ve participated in several training classes which have been invaluable. The instructors are always energetic and keep the class engaged with easy to follow tips and instructions. At home we continue to use the methods taught in class and we appreciate the reward-based approach to training as opposed to a punishment system. We highly recommend Canine Connection. They are amazing!!!” -Bree Sears, Facebook Reviews https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/1592927951394-VKJ5I2OX2GBLDEHDOUDH/Ashcroft%252Bdogs.jpg Testimonials - “Both of our Jack Russell Terriers have taken training/socialization classes through The Canine Connection since puppyhood. Sarah has completed several training programs with top professionals and has excellent credentials as a trainer/behaviorist. She has assembled a wonderful staff with whom she works with daily utilizing force free training/handling techniques. The boarding experience is fabulous with lots of attention from a highly professional, dedicated, skilled staff as well as very fun play! We especially appreciate the supervision of the dogs at night is not left up to cameras or periodic human check in, but instead there is a full time night attendant on site. Canine Connection is also very involved and supports the dog community with various fun raisers such as Walk-Woof-Wag with is an annual event. The Seville Campus is second to none. A very high degree of security and safety for both humans and dogs including vaccination verification/requirements and a high degree of biosecurity. Highly recommend this facility and staff and feel so fortunate they are in our area! Thanks for all you do!!” -Deneane Glazier Ashcraft.

This application form has two parts. Part 1 requests detailed information about your dog. Part 2 informs you of our daycare and boarding policies and procedures and asks you to note that you have read, understand, and agree with them. Please set aside approximately 30 minutes to complete this form. If you are interested in enrolling more than one dog, you must complete a separate enrollment form for each dog. Please contact your veterinary office and ask that they fax or email to us ASAP documentation that your dog is current on the following vaccinations and fecal test. Our fax number is (530) 345-1939. Our email address is office@thecaninecnonnection.com. Parvo-distemper (sometimes referred to as DHPP or DAPP) Rabies Bordetella CIV (currently optional but strongly recommended) Clear fecal test As soon as we have all your veterinary information and a completed application (see below), we will contact you to arrange a temperament evaluation. Please be sure your email processor recognizes our email address, office@thecanineconnection, as friendly incoming email. Our emails sometimes end up in spam filters, which makes means you miss important communications; this is frustrating to us both! If the initial temperament evaluation suggests your dog will be comfortable in our social setting, we will roll into a 4-hour observation day with your dog to get a better sense of his/her social aptitude and play style. This can be conducted the same day as your temperament evaluation. The cost for the temperament evaluation and observation day OR the temperament evaluation and two happy visits is $75. If it seems your dog will enjoy and benefit from our program, they can be enrolled in our New Dog Program. This is an 8-visit program required of all dogs who are new to our program. During these 8 visits, we will carefully evaluate your dog’s play style and preferences along with training and enrichment needs. By the end of the 8-visit program, you will receive important information about which of our daycare programs is best for your dog. Once your dog successfully completes our New Dog Program, you can begin scheduling regular daycare and boarding visits and purchase our discount passes! If it seems your dog will not benefit from our program, we will recommend other helpful resources for you. Please note that your dog must have completed our New Dog Program prior to overnight boarding and attend daycare at least once a month (preferably more) to continue boarding. We look forward to meeting you and your dog!

Yes!! In fact, for some dogs and people, online training can produce better outcomes than training in the fur and flesh. Our online training is available in two ways: (1) live using Zoom and (2) in a self-paced format by following our online training programs on your own schedule. Who can benefit from online training? People whose schedules may prevent them from attending a group class or seminar. Dogs who may be too stressed, fearful, or excitable in an unfamiliar environment or around other dogs. People who live far from our center (people in other states have participated in our online program). Puppies and new dogs who may not have veterinary clearance to venture into the wider world. Senior dogs who may prefer their training sessions to include comfortable at-home breaks. People who may benefit from immediate access to online material while waiting for a scheduled lesson or class. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/1591348141418-PUFTXO8FDDTDWXGOJ9T1/puppy-training-classes-chico-ca.jpg Online Training - Seminars Puppy Parenting Seminar - In this 2+ hour seminar, you’ll learn ten things puppy parents need to know to set new puppies up for lifetime success (offered monthly in-person and online via Zoom, you choose your preferred format.)

This seminar addresses common questions about dog play: What are the benefits and risks of dog-dog play? What does “good play” look like?

She first came to The Canine Connection as a youngster, when her family brought their sweet Newfoundland puppy, Georgie, through our puppy program. As Georgie grew, so did Ally's love of training and she participated in several more training classes with her big furry dog. As Ally was about to finish high school, her family adopted a German Shepherd, Frankie, who also joined our training program - and at that time Ally did too, becoming one of our valued class and training assistants. Fast forward to 2022 and Ally is now a senior at Chico State, majoring in Ag Business. After working at The Canine Connection for years, she has now assumed the role of our Training Coordinator. In this capacity, Ally oversees the administrative and client care aspects of our program. Ally can be reached at by phone or text (530) 228-2822 and at training@thecanineconnection.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/1632983206109-7RADAXLV0VI3QX5ZBIIB/Alyssa+and+Danny.jpg Our Team (Copy) - Alyssa Hosbach Instructor - Life Skills & Manners Animals have always been a passion of Alyssa's. To follow her dream of working with animals, Alyssa studied Animal Science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. As part of her studies, she even had the opportunity to intern as a dolphin trainer in Bermuda for a summer! After earning her Animal Science degree, Alyssa went on to earn a Master's degree in Environment and Community from Humboldt State University (HSU). Drawn to the field of dog training, Alyssa graduated from the Dog Training Internship Academy (DTIA) in San Francisco then ran her own business providing private client consultations and teaching training classes at Berkeley Humane Society. She and her husband moved to Chico because of its promise to be a friendly place to raise their daughter. She and her family share their home with a lively Basset Hound puppy named Biscuit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/1633715436960-AMZ7H3IEXRVCJKP96QKM/nancy-300x261.jpg Our Team (Copy) - Nancy Kerns Instructor - Continuing Education Nancy Kerns is the founding editor of the Whole Dog Journal, a consumer-oriented, advertising-free national magazine that is a strong proponent of positive reinforcement-based training methods. For the past 22 years, she has been writing about the effectiveness and benefits of force-free, dog-friendly training, as well as reporting on up-to-date research about canine behavior. She is also a long-time volunteer and former board member of the Northwest SPCA in Oroville, and fosters for that shelter regularly, usually taking on any large litters of puppies that are brought into shelter care. In this way, she has raised more than 100 puppies in just the past few years. Nancy owns two dogs, both adopted from the NWSPCA, 11-year-old Otto and 3-year-old Woody, who serve as Grumpy Uncle and Fun Uncle to the foster puppies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/1591253056270-POOSQB6D6RRVOLB9AKKF/Suzanne.jpg Our Team (Copy) - Suzanne Morlock Instructor - Agility What makes Suzanne an amazing agility instructor? She’s an addict. A complete agility addict. In 2012, Suzanne realized that her Australian Shepherd puppy, Stella, had turned the living room into Stella’s own personal agility course so Suzanne decided she should check out that sport. Fast forward seven years, and Suzanne has added two other Aussies to her agility team (Sunny and Gracie) and she and her Aussie, Sunny, are ranked as one of the top teams in the country! When not teaching her devoted agility students here in Chico, Suzanne and her three Aussies compete nationally and have earned numerous titles and championships. While the recognitions are great, Suzanne says she loves agility not for the ribbons but for the relationship it helps build with her dogs. Indeed, what makes Suzanne not only a great trainer of her own dogs and competitor with them but also a superb coach and instructor is that Suzanne recognizes the importance of fun, play, and teamwork in the sport of agility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/1591253114189-JHJF5X0DOOPW1FONPG9W/Esther%2BAbshier.jpg Our Team (Copy) - Esther Abshier Instructor - Dog Sports Esther is ALL ABOUT dog training! When asked to recite her top accomplishments in dog training, Esther had this to say: “In no particular order they are: my Puli, Harry Potter, was in the top five for his breed for agility six years in a row and was invited to the Agility Invitational six times. My Schipperke was in the top five for her breed and was invited to the Invitational too. My two Bull Terriers were the number one and two for their breed in the nation in flyball for several years. My Brittany was also one of the top flyball dogs in the nation for her breed for several years. My Puli earned his MACH title, and also some rally, obedience and flyball titles. I once raced in a flyball tournament and all the dogs on the team were mine! And recently, my dog Journey and I went to the Rally Nationals in Oklahoma - it was a grand adventure.” But that’s not all… currently, Esther and Journey, a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, are certified as Mission Ready Area for Butte County Search and Rescue and her new puppy, Sailor, a Lagotto Romoangolo, is already proving talented with search activities too. And if that’s not enough to keep her busy, Esther has nine beautiful grandchildren! We are thrilled to have Esther on The Canine Connection training team! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/1632595711959-IQL9S6J9X98X9S2AN7A1/Bryan%25252BMills.jpg Our Team (Copy) - Bryan Mills Weekday Lead Bryan joined The Canine Connection after a long career in exemplary kitchens, juggling all the ingredients for exceptional dining experiences. When he could no longer ignore the call of the wooly and wild, he brought his multi-tasking to the world of dogs at The Canine Connection. Here, he is known for his deep love of dogs and ability to wrangle them and the team that cares for them with unwavering attention and care. When not overseeing the dogs and our team at The Canine Connection, Bryan enjoys his time with his own family of humans and animals which includes Steve, a senior border collie, Rex, a teenage Aussie, Lola, a teenage human, one cool cat, and his wife, Patty, who has been a friend of The Canine Connection for many years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/b5dec4bb-7893-4bba-8d0c-8222290015b2/Kevin+and+Arlo.jpg Our Team (Copy) - Kevin Swanberg Weekday Supervisor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/1632895184846-TA1ESTUPED2DN5WW1SMP/Jessica.png Our Team (Copy) - Jessica Batista Weekend Lead Jessica is a graduate of the Department of Animal Science at Chico State who loves bringing joy to dogs and their people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/1632595757707-VZLZ5Y7CD8WBPFJ9PMK6/Jenny.jpg Our Team (Copy) - Jennifer Ramirez Supervisor Jenny grew up in the small town of Glenn, outside of Chico. With a family home filled with huskies, she became comfortable, at a very early age, with canine antics and lots and lots of dog fur! Thinking she might like to work in the veterinary field, Jenny began studying for a vet tech degree but then realized she was interested in a more holistic view of animal care and is now working toward a bachelor's degree in Animal Science. With a level head and big smile, Jenny ensures that our days finish up smoothly with daycare dogs safely home and our boarding VIPS tucked in for the night. https://thecanineconnection.com/cat-training daily 0.75 2025-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/94126534-02a5-4d40-921b-89b2d2fb5c28/432533382_799105831581174_5797737746938301658_n.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/c5036cf2-3acc-4de8-8e4d-a2b5f30659bc/Two+calicos+snuggling.jpg https://thecanineconnection.com/home daily 1.0 2025-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/0b6f9375-72e5-4657-af2c-09d3d8b1cda1/ccpdt-logo.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/7f8fb94b-5764-4a54-bdfe-352a2bcb564e/catch-canine-trainers-academy-logo.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/261ee7e2-795b-4955-b5d3-5b981a96e25f/csat_seal_web.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/3b4844f2-9873-4a07-aaf3-24d1c7179348/the-academy-for-dog-trainers-logo.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/52dfb92a-f308-4372-947c-63e9036fd31d/the-dog-gurus-logo.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/f0e5b61f-8b2d-4086-9bac-72ac21fdf38c/the-pet-professional-guild-logo.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/ade22ae4-0341-460b-8255-1a5b7cc5a91b/FF+Corporate+Logo+-+Medium.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/9090682d-3d67-44d1-9eb8-e0ff67a2d2f2/Evaluator+logo+-cgc-+jpeg.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/1589863024938-GP8YRZJTZSFMWPM4UD26/IAABC-dog-trainer-cdbc.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e96419984d8cf57546bc03a/3f7b19f1-fda8-4e00-a00f-ed34e40a7df3/dogs-hero-section-home-page-min.png Home -
