"I thought dog training would be quite boring but had a magic time. Lots of fun. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks, Sarah."

"The class makes training easy to learn, easy to teach to your dog, and only brings you closer together."

 -- Jen and Russ (Ty's parents)

"This an extremely effective and humane approach to dog training. We will recommend it highly to everyone and anyone who has a dog."

  -- Sue Matthiessen and Mike Shuell (Gracie's parents)
 

"The positive reinforcement that Sarah teaches is excellent and it works. Sarah has a great depth of knowledge in animal behavior and her classes reflect that."

 -- Jane Roberts (Griffin's person)

"We would highly recommend Sarah at The Canine Connection. She taught us safe, kind and rewarding ways to train our dog not only for our sake but his safety as well. We even applied these methods to our much older dog at home and we thought she was too old and stuck in her ways to learn anything new. We often commented to ourselves how knowledgeable Sarah was of the training she was teaching us to teach Ben. This type of training makes life much nicer for you and your dog."

  -- Charles and Bonnie Steele (Ben's people)
 

"I can't imagine finding a better dog training class. It was organized, professional, and fun for parents and puppies. Sarah is truly an expert at training and has a passion and a love for dogs that shines throughout the entire course. Thanks. Lucy and I will be back for more."

 -- Jackie Neumeister (Lucy Lou's person)

"Lots of information and materials for the money. We felt that Sarah certainly is well qualified …Her enthusiasm rubs off on you. I'd recommend her class to all dog owners - in fact, it would be a shame for both dog and owner not to participate in her class."

  -- Phyllis and John Hanania (Cookie's person)

"Dexter loved going to school at The Canine Connection. Sarah uses a very holistic approach to 'training'. Dexter is a much happier dog now. Classes help reinvigorate owners too. As one who has participated in other obedience classes, I found Sarah's to be a cut above the rest."

  -- Kathleen Kirby (Dexter's person)

"We are very pleased with the training we received and would highly recommend Sarah Richardson and her method of training."

  -- Mac and Fran McCombs (Sparky's people)

"We enjoyed the small classes and getting to know the other trainers and dogs…Friday has become easier to handle and the positive reinforcement method is a really humane way to let your dog know what you want. Sarah made training an unruly dog really fun for all of us."

  -- Brigid and Mike Miller (Friday's person)

"Homework was a great motivator. The binder with the dog's name and lesson plans was super!"

  -- Ori Jean May (Monita's person)

Dear Sarah:

Mushka and I would like to thank you for all the help and knowledge you have given us in your teen/adult dog class. This class has been extremely helpful in training Mushka. You have shown me what a useful training tool the clicker can be. I am so glad to have found a trainer that uses positive reinforcement training methods.

Many people have noticed a great improvement in Mushka's behavior since we started your classes. She has grown from an unmannered puppy to a well mannered adolescent. What a difference it makes using a great training method. Mushka and I look forward to attending other classes in the future.

Sincerely,

Kristen Cargile and Mushka
