About Me

puppys

I’m Sandy Jaworski and I have been training and breeding dogs in Howard County, Maryland for almost 30 years. I have three children and currently own Havanese and Bichon Frises. I’ve also had the pleasure of owning mixed breed dogs

During the last three decades, I have learned to tailor my approach to training for each of my own dogs, as well as my clients’. For example, with my mild mannered Havanese, Vixen, I could gently encourage her to respond to a command and she happily obliged. She even won the 2010 Highest Scoring Obedience Award for all Havanese in the United States.

My others have not been quite that easy to train. Recently I have had more challenging dogs like Sasha, a Bichon Frise who refused to walk on a leash. It took two weeks of testing a variety of methods to find what would make her move. We worked through this trying time and she now has earned the advanced level of the Canine Good Citizen certification at 11 months of age as well as six competitive obedience titles. My two eldest dogs have earned twelve obedience titles in the last five years.

Thanks to my experiences with my own dogs, I truly understand the joys and challenges of having a dog. I’m passionate about helping clients like you build a strong relationship with their pets as well.

About Furry Connections

For the past 10 years, Furry Connections, LLC has offered personalized pet consulting services as well as dog and puppy training in Maryland and Northern Virginia. I have trained many dogs who rule their households but also those who are fearful of their environment and of people. After training, these dogs become well-adjusted, cuddly family members.

Throughout the years I have had the pleasure of matching countless puppies with new owners. It has given me much gratification to ensure a smooth transition for these puppies into their new homes. Finding the breed that is right for you, where to find the ideal puppy, and how to choose the one that’s ideal for your family’s dynamics is a complicated feat, and I would love to be part of simplifying the process.

I am passionate about setting up puppies for success in their new families. This means finding the right puppy for your family and providing training so they are a pleasure to own. I hope to give you a great start with your puppy before they develop bad habits. However, if they already have some habits that are not appreciated, we will work together to form the necessary changes.

I also offer boarding in my home so your dog can be comfortable and relaxed when he can’t be with his owners.

My goal is to help pet owners, like you, have a well-mannered dog that complements their family. If you have questions or would like to learn more, contact me online or call 240-389-4466 and I’d be happy to speak with you!
