History

Established in 1990.

Full Circle Obedience School opened April 3, 1990 with the mission of helping dog owners build good relationships with their companions through correct structure and communication.

Our philosophy is that if the Director of an obedience school has no titles on their personal dogs, or hasn’t helped at least a few students become nationally ranked, then there is no proof that the instructor’s training methods truly work. Many certifications and competitive events for dogs are referred to as «tests» for good reason.

The majority of dogs who attend Full Circle Obedience School will not earn titles. They will become well-​mannered, and trustworthy companions because they have been trained by instructors who strongly believe in lifelong learning and constantly look for ways to improve their dog training skills.

Our goal is that the owners and dogs who attend our classes develop mutual respect. We want Full Circle graduates to be safe and polite canine citizens.
