Professional dog training services

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: Canine Connection will no longer accept clients for dog training or behavior modification services who hit, "spank," beat or otherwise abuse their dogs or other animals in their care. If abuse in any form is discovered in the course of the provision of services, services will cease immediately, and no refund will be issued. Abuse, as defined by the law, and the medical and veterinary professions, will be reported to the proper authorities. (9/17/2017)

SERVICE DOGS:

In order to best assist you, please read the information on the Services and Home pages, and the information below before contacting Canine Connection. Thank you!

The current service area is south central Missouri, but we do offer long distance training consultations via phone, Skype, etc. Past clients are always welcome to call for consultations at no charge.
We currently do not train or certify psychiatric service dogs, that is, dogs for anxiety, depression or PTSD. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis, with a documented diagnosis from a licensed healthcare professional.
We do train mobility assistance dogs and hearing dogs, and will consider training a seizure response dog. Diabetic alert dog training is also now offered.
At this time we are not a non-profit organization and do not have the funding to provide already trained dogs at no charge.
We currently do not train and ship dogs outside the Missouri service area.
If you are thinking about getting a service dog, please talk to us before getting a puppy!

PET TRAINING:
Please refer to the Home page and the Services page for information about Canine Connection, including location.
