Bowser’s Dog "Play Care" is Here!
Our summer dog day camp was such a success that we’re continuing with the good times! On Tuesdays and Thursdays, our training center becomes a fabulous dog day care (or “play care” as we like to describe it). Dogs experience healthy play with other dogs, stimulating toys and agility, wholesome treats, relaxing rest, and reinforcement of good manners, all supervised by our skilled and attentive staff. At the end of the sessions, dogs go home happy, relaxed, and better socialized. For more information about enrolling your dog in Bowser’s Dog Play Care, please call 345-1912 or email office@thecanineconnection.com. Click here to see our day care photo album!

Levels Obedience – New Thursday Night Classes!
The Canine Connection has launched a whole new format for our teen/adult obedience classes - one that is self-paced, flexible, motivating, and (as always) fun! The Levels program integrates our foundation, basic, intermediate, and advanced obedience into one cohesive program with four levels of skill and training. As soon as you’ve mastered one level you’ll be graduated to the next, all at your own pace and in a way that works with your own schedule. Beginning October 2, you’ll be able to attend Levels classes on Thursday evenings and/or Saturday mornings! Learn more about this exciting program here!

EDUCATING BOWSER
By Sarah Richardson
For canines as well as humans, proper schooling is fundamental to a happy and successful life.

Playtime for Bowser and Buds!
The Canine Connection will now offer supervised play sessions for dogs. Why? Because healthy play is vital for burning energy and positive socialization - and it’s just plain fun, for dogs and their people! Separate play sessions are offered for four types of dogs:
- Puppy Paws (for puppies under 6 months old)
- Petite Paws (for dogs under 25 pounds, 6 months and older)
- Power Paws (for medium and large dogs who are exuberant players)
- Passive Paws (for medium and large dogs who are quieter, gentler players)
At this time, Playtime is available only to current or former clients whose dogs we know. Please email to inquire about times, dates, and requirements. Please note: guardians must be present during play sessions.
