The Canine Connection

At The Canine Connection, we believe every dog deserves to be happy and confident in any setting. We are committed to providing you and your pup with the opportunities to create such a life. The experienced, friendly staff at The Canine Connection has worked hard to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for you and your dog. Valerie Murphy, owner of The Canine Connection, has been involve

d with dogs all her life, training her first dog when she was ten years old. From that point on, she knew she wanted a life that revolved around dogs. Valerie feels incredibly blessed to be able to spend her days (and nights) surrounded by and caring for Northwest Arkansas’ top dogs! Valerie currently shares her home with Ava, a Giant Schnauzer; and Sashay, a Bernese Mountain Dog. Training Director Ed Minar has been teaching obedience classes for around ten years. He currently competes with his Australian Shepherd Bess in agility, formal obedience and rally obedience. He believes that each dog is an individual and that training does not happen by a single, cookie-cutter method – it should be suited to each particular dog’s needs. In his opinion, the main purposes of dog training are to build our relationships with our dogs, to help to shape a confident and happy canine companion, and to have fun! Our services include:
