About The Canine Human Connection

What they offer

Canine Human Connection is a one-on-one dog training service in Santa Fe built around clear communication and positive reinforcement. Behavioral and real-world training helps dogs that are fearful or anxious, reactive toward dogs, people, bikes or runners, over-aroused, or barking and destructive at home.

Manners and walks

Real-life manners work covers loose-leash walking, coming when called, staying neutral around people and dogs, waiting and settling. Structured training walks take place in neighborhoods, downtown, dog-friendly stores and parks, so dogs learn to behave where it matters.

Owner coaching

The trainer coaches owners to read their dog, communicate clearly and keep the structure going after sessions end.

About the trainer

The trainer is Mike Villa, who uses calm, clear, positive reinforcement methods without intimidation or force.
