Welcome to
Canine Connection!
Looking for a safe space to bring your dog and meet other dog people? Look no further! Canine Connection is an indoor dog park and play space located in the heart of the Lakes Region in Laconia, New Hampshire. Canine Connection is designed for dogs AND their people. We provide a safe space to further enrich the lives of our dogs, enhance the connection between your dog and you, and to connect dog guardians in a safe and supportive environment where we play, learn, and connect. If this sounds great, you also get the added benefit of a place to play indoors when nature doesn't cooperate! Plus, you'll have access to a variety of services our partners offer. What are you waiting for? Check out our Memberships today!
