Not just training – it’s a connection

Because every owner deserves to have a dog they can truly enjoy

Struggling with your dog’s behaviour?

I get it! Having a dog with behavioural challenges can be embarrassing, difficult, isolating and frustrating. I know this from my own personal experience, which is why I’m so passionate about helping owners who are struggling with their dog.

Canine Connection is all about creating a calm, balanced dog and building a strong relationship together with their owner. Our goal isn’t just to train your dog, it’s to provide YOU with the skills to enjoy a lifetime of calm walks, peaceful homes, and a lasting connection.

I’m Candi, the owner and trainer behind Canine Connection, along with my assistant, Jupiter. Together, we offer professional dog training in Auckland.

Absolutely recommend Candi’s services!!
We saught her out because we have a very reactive dog; she’s afraid of bigger dogs and gets quite aggressive toward them, it’s super stressful for us and we didn’t really know how to deal with it. Candi is known to have a calm approach to training and specializes in reactivity.
Candi knows our neighbourhood and has given us very practical and easy to manage techniques to help our girl.

Canine Connection provides a fantastic training program for my puppy, and I am very happy with the progress I can see. Over the last 6 months my puppy has become a confident happy pooch, that listens and interacts extremely well. I recommend Candi from Canine Connection very highly – Candi is a natural when it comes to dog training

What truly stood out is Candi’s patience, consistency, and the genuine care she showed for every dog she worked with. The improvements I’ve seen in my Bowser have been remarkable, and the tools and knowledge I’ve gained as an owner have made a lasting difference in our relationship. Our anxiety driven and distressing walks have now become zen time walkies.
