Welcome to Connected Canine in Phoenix
Welcome to Connected Canine — where training builds connection, not control. We raise the standard for clarity, compassion, and results, helping dogs and owners thrive together.

Daycare. Boarding. Training.
All in one place.
Training that transforms every kind of dog. We do it all—ethically, thoughtfully, and with your dog’s wellbeing at the heart of every session. Discover the Connected Canine difference.
Daycare
Safe, structured enrichment — all day long. At Connected Canine, our boutique day school blends fun, focus, and real learning. Dogs enjoy small-group play, confidence-building exercises, and calm rest periods for a balanced experience. Each pup completes a temperament evaluation before joining, ensuring playgroups stay positive, safe, and stress-free. Our trained staff guide every interaction to nurture confidence, connection, and better behavior beyond the play yard.
Boarding
All-inclusive, limited-capacity boarding with 24/7 attentive care. At Connected Canine, every guest enjoys spacious, temperature-controlled suites, calm enrichment, and structured play in groups of five or fewer. Our team reinforces your dog’s manners and training throughout their stay, using calming music, pheromone diffusers, and one-on-one time to keep every pup relaxed and happy. With consistent routines and compassionate supervision, dogs rest easy and feel right at home.
Training
Transformative, relationship-based training for dogs and owners. At Connected Canine, we tailor every program—Day Train, Board & Train, Private Lessons, and Group Classes—to your goals and your dog’s unique personality. Our certified trainers use LIMA and AKC Family Dog standards to create real, lasting results through clear communication, structure, and trust. From loose-leash walking to reactivity and advanced obedience, we help you build the calm, confident companion you’ve always wanted.

What makes Connected Canine different from other trainers in Phoenix?
We’re not a high-volume “dog factory.” Connected Canine was built on ethics, empathy, and education. Every program is rooted in the LIMA approach (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) and AKC Family Dog standards—meaning your dog’s emotional wellbeing matters just as much as their obedience. We prioritize connection, not control, and support every client for life through our alumni network.
How do I know which training program is right for my dog?
We start every journey with a free consultation to learn about your dog’s behavior, lifestyle, and your goals. From there, we’ll recommend a customized path—whether it’s Day Train, Board & Train, Private Lessons, or Group Classes. Every dog and owner pair is unique, so your plan is built around progress that actually lasts at home.
What results can I expect from your training?
You can expect a calmer, more confident dog—and the skills to maintain that harmony long-term. We focus on practical obedience (loose-leash walking, recall, impulse control, manners) and real-world reliability, not tricks for treats. Our programs don’t end at graduation—we continue guiding you through refreshers, community classes, and lifetime alumni support.
Do you only work with certain breeds or behavior levels?
No. We work with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to reactive rescues. Whether your dog needs basic manners, emotional confidence, or advanced public access work, our small-group structure (max five dogs per trainer) ensures personal attention and steady, humane progress.
What happens after my dog finishes training?
Graduation isn’t goodbye—it’s the beginning of a lifelong connection. Every Connected Canine graduate joins our alumni family, with ongoing trainer access, free meetups, and discounted refreshers. We stay invested in your dog’s success because we believe caring shouldn’t cost extra, and consistency is what builds true transformation.
