Learn How to Communicate with Your Dog

Dog Obedience Training with Connected Canine Academy

No matter how much you yell, dogs don’t speak with a human tongue, creating a language barrier between a human owner and their canine companion. That doesn’t mean communication with your pet is impossible, albeit it’s quite the contrary.

Dogs can sense your energy, respond to hand signals, and learn the meaning of certain words despite being unable to say it themselves. Using tools such as e-collars, prongs, slip leads, and, of course, treats, Connected Canine Academy can teach you how to communicate with your dog, fostering the healthy parent-child-like relationship you’ve always wanted.

Corinne Jones of Connected Canine Academy could not have been a better choice for my dog, Charlie. She has boarded my doodle on several occasions, and he always comes back home happy, well-mannered, and well taken care of. She has years of knowledge that she can fine-tune to each dog’s specific needs, and this is something I truly admire, as the owner of a highly sensitive and anxious animal. My dog is a bit strange in new places, but always seems to settle in with Corinne. She is very timely and responsive, and the…

Corinne absolutely changed our lives! Our golden retriever was extremely reactive and had major issues with stranger danger. Corinne not only taught him how to regulate his emotions but she taught us how to be better handlers for him too. Our dog is so much more confident and so much happier thanks to Corinne, we can’t recommend her enough!

I have an exceptionally smart and energetic dog, Roux, who was adopted from the streets of Mexico. Overstimulated was the most common word used for Roux! She needed a lot of structure in order to be successful (and for me to regain my sanity). Corinne worked miracles with her. Roux learned how to master her place command and I could finally work in peace. She now heels on walks and listens to me. Counter surfing is fully a thing of the past. Critically, Corinne taught me how to watch for signals from Roux and…

I can’t say how relieved I am to have taken the leap of faith to board and train with Corrine. My dog was super anxious and very reactive to other dogs, had rough separation anxiety but really was the sweetest pea, he just had some problems. And as you know as a dog parent, their problems are your problems. I was at a loss for what to do and I decided to do a board and train with Corrine and I mean it when I say this- it actually worked and continues to work…

Corinne is the best dog trainer I have ever used. She provides excellent customer service and I would recommend her highly. Whether it’s working on socialization, behavioral modification, obedience, tricks, an aggressive dog resource guarding, or even toilet training, she’s the best. Her price is more than worth it, the best in the area and the best I’ve ever used.

Sending my dog to Corinne for training was the best thing I ever did for him. After 6 weeks with Corinne, my German Shepherd could walk off leash, listen to more complex commands and was much better behaved. Corinne spent as much effort training me as she did training my dog. She was always available to help reinforce either of our training when needed. Corinne was patient and fun, so training was always an enjoyable experience for dog and human alike.

Don’t Let It Turn Into a Bigger Issue

Correct Your Dog’s Bad Behaviors

Bad behaviors don’t fix themselves—ignoring them early on can turn small issues into lifelong struggles. A puppy’s playful nip can become dangerous biting, and a nervous dog’s hesitation can escalate into full-blown fear and reactivity.

Poor recall, leash pulling, and lack of obedience make everyday activities stressful instead of enjoyable. At the same time, socialization, sit-stay commands, and calm confidence aren’t just tricks—they’re essential for a well-adjusted dog.

Connected Canine Academy helps correct these behaviors before they spiral, giving you the tools to build trust, structure, and a balanced relationship with your dog.
