There are not enough positive adjectives to describe Cora Minkis and her business. There is literally no one we trust more with our 4 beloved pups than when they go to “Aunt Cora’s”. One example - we rescued our beloved Pit mix when she was dumped off at a shelter at 6 weeks old all by herself. She has been raised with nothing but love and the best life she and her siblings could have. But she ha...

There are not enough positive adjectives to describe Cora Minkis and her business. There is literally no one we trust more with our 4 beloved pups than when they go to “Aunt Cora’s”. One example - we rescued our beloved Pit mix when she was dumped off at a shelter at 6 weeks old all by herself. She has been raised with nothing but love and the best life she and her siblings could have. But she had behavioral challenges that my wife and I couldn’t manage well on our own. Enter Cora. Our pup spent 3 weeks with her and is by far the smartest, sweetest, most loving and gentle soul imaginable, thanks to Aunt Cora. If you are looking for a phenomenal trainer or even just someplace safe, warm and loving to board your beloved dogs, look no further.

She has taught us a great deal about being dog owners and how to raise a happy, healthy, obedient dog. Cora always provided feedback and gave us tasks to practice with our puppy on our own. With Cora’s guidance we have been able to drastically reduce unwanted behavior. Our puppy is much more well behaved- and he is happy. We are happy as well. We will continue to use Cora’s guidance and knowledge as we raise our dog.
If you are unsure about having a trainer, meet with Cora. She is amazing.

Cora is an amazing trainer! We adopted a high energy dog from a shelter and weren’t quite sure how to handle some of her “crazy” behaviors. Cora helped me better understand our dog and how to interact with her and respond to her in a way that was productive. I gained so much confidence after working with Cora. I was able to let go of so much stress that I was feeling. I feel like I understand my ...

Cora is an amazing trainer! We adopted a high energy dog from a shelter and weren’t quite sure how to handle some of her “crazy” behaviors. Cora helped me better understand our dog and how to interact with her and respond to her in a way that was productive. I gained so much confidence after working with Cora. I was able to let go of so much stress that I was feeling. I feel like I understand my dog a lot more than I ever would have without Cora. Cora is patient and kind and really takes the time to explain everything she’s teaching you. She truly cares about you and your dog and only wants the best for both of you. Cora has made a huge difference in our lives and we’re so grateful! We absolutely trust her with our dog Mayzee and will have Cora take her for daycare and boarding when needed. I highly recommend Cora!!

Cora is so talented! She takes such good and attentive car of my dogs Houston and Honey. They get so excited when they see her car pull up for day care day! Couldn’t recommend Canine Connected more!!

Cora was amazing. We got a sweet four year old dog from a shelter. She was already timid and then became afraid of our yard due to the electric fence. Due to being anxious she peed and pooped in our house sometimes. Cora helped train her to be more confident and comfortable. No more accidents in the house, and she loves playing outside now w our other dog.

Cora has given me the BEST DOG I have ever owned. Super patient and very committed to helping me understand what my dog needs and what he is trying to communicate to me. She has my forever business.

Cora did a great job at training my mom’s dog to follow commands, eliminate his reactivity to other dogs that was so embarrassing we couldn’t take him on walks and build a strong recall so that he always comes back when called.

Cora frequently boards my pup, Finley! She always makes sure to take videos and pictures to share with me while I’m away. I can always tell Finley had the best time when I pick him up:) Very grateful for Canine Connected!

Editing to add: it’s now been over a year of working with Cora and Cora has stuck with us through it all. We now live a more confident and low-stress life and i have Cora to thank for the most fulfilling relationship I could’ve asked for with Brutus. I can’t recommend her enough!

If you need a dog trainer, I highly recommend Cora! We’ve been working together for about 4 months now and have made great progress with my boy in building his confidence and desensitizing him to his triggers, creating a focused heel, working on his overexcitement, and overall manners - I mean he does weigh 95 lbs so good behavior is definitely necessary. I love that she takes a balanced approach that is reward focused since Brutus is so food motivated. I’ve been very specific with what I’m looking for and Cora has been soooo supportive and patient and we’ve been able to tailor our training approach specifically to Brutus . We love working with her ❤️

Cora helped me feel safe and confident handling a dog that I was previously afraid of. She is a really great teacher with not only dogs but also the owners. I would trust her with any dog!

I’d recommend Cora time after time! She truly wants what’s best for both dog and owner. She took the time to help us understand our dogs, ways to work (and bond) with them, and improve their relationship with each other. One of our dogs is highly reactive to new people and other dogs and he did not get along with my fiancés dog when we moved in toghether. Cora helped us to understand their behavi...

She took the time to help us understand our dogs, ways to work (and bond) with them, and improve their relationship with each other. One of our dogs is highly reactive to new people and other dogs and he did not get along with my fiancés dog when we moved in toghether. Cora helped us to understand their behaviors in order for them to be able to live together. She also took so much additional time to help me work with my reactive to understand how to manage his stresses and maximize our ability to live “normally”. Because of Cora, we’re able to do things with our dogs that we couldn’t before (like taking them for a walk and having company over) our dogs live the best life they could!

If you're looking for a sign to book with her.....THIS IS IT.

Cora has been an absolutely God send! I was referred to her from a previous client at Next Door and I set up a consult with both pups which turned into a private lesson package (and she didn’t charge double!) They were both 4 at the time but we had a new baby and I was worried about their behaviors with a little one. Cora helped us see our pups were not hopeless and given us the tools to continue...

Cora helped us see our pups were not hopeless and given us the tools to continue their training. She breaks things down in a way that makes sense and gives explanations for all her training. I highly, highly recommend!!! Our pups are like brand new!

One of our dogs is medically fragile and Cora was thorough, dedicated and confident in caring for his needs. I was never worried while they were in her care. She communicated well with us and was very thorough in explaining expectations while our boys were in her care. She cares deeply for each of the dogs she works with and was able to help us with maintaining training while they were with her over the holiday. I would recommend her training services and boarding to anyone. You won’t be disappointed.
