Say Goodbye to Bad Habits – Dog Training for a Happier Home
Fully Loaded Canines is helping You Bring Out the Best in Your Dog. Training isn’t about control — it’s about communication.
Dogs and humans naturally communicate differently. When that disconnect isn’t addressed, obedience falls apart in real life. That’s where we come in. At Fully Loaded Canines, we bridge the gap between you and your dog so expectations are clear, communication is fair, and trust is built.
We don’t believe in quick fixes or short-term compliance. We focus on long-lasting skills that strengthen your relationship and give you confidence in any environment.
And we don’t disappear after training ends. We stand behind our work for the entire life of your dog, because real support doesn’t expire.
Our mission is simple: to give dog owners the safe freedom to truly enjoy life with their dogs, and to give dogs the structure and clarity they need to earn more freedom. We build confidence on both ends of the leash so you can handle any situation together.
We build best friends, not robots.

Private Lessons
For owners who want to be involved every step of the way
Private training is built around teaching both the dog and the owner how to work together in everyday life. We meet with you and your dog to identify what’s actually causing the behavior, not just the symptom, and build a structured plan you can apply at home, on walks, and around real distractions.
You’ll learn how to communicate clearly, set fair boundaries, and maintain calm behavior long after sessions are finished. This option is ideal for families who want hands-on guidance and the confidence to handle situations themselves.
Board & Train
Our Board & Train Program is built for owners who want accelerated results while staying fully involved in the process.
This is not a “send your dog away and hope it works” program. Training is a team effort — which is why your program includes five in-person lessons to ensure you confidently maintain your dog’s new skills.
Your 5-Lesson Structure:
Two lessons before the stay
We build the foundation, establish communication, and set clear expectations.
One lesson during the stay
See your dog’s progress firsthand and learn how to handle them at their new level.
Two lessons at the end
We fully transfer the skills to you so you feel confident at home and in public.
While Your Dog Is With Us:
Your dog won’t just learn obedience — they’ll learn how to navigate the real world confidently.
Professional baths and nail care (teaching calm, cooperative grooming and vet behavior)
Proper socialization and structured play
Real-life exposure training (restaurants, public spaces, new environments, distractions)
We focus on reliability, manners, confidence, and real-world behavior — not just commands in a quiet room.
When your dog goes home, they don’t just know commands.
They understand expectations.
And more importantly — so do you.
Service Dog Training
Our Service Dog Training Program is designed for individuals who need a reliable, task-trained dog to assist with daily life.
A true service dog is calm, stable, and highly obedient in all environments. We focus on building dogs that can confidently perform specific tasks while remaining neutral and well-mannered in public.
What We Focus On:
● Advanced obedience and public access skills
● Task-specific training tailored to your needs
● Environmental stability and distraction proofing
● Calm behavior in stores, restaurants, and busy spaces
Service dog training requires consistency, structure, and handler involvement. We work closely with you to ensure you understand how to maintain and reinforce your dog’s training long-term.
Our goal is to create a dependable partner, not just a well-trained dog, but a dog you can confidently rely on every day.
Personal Protection Dog Training
Our Personal Protection Dog Program is built for individuals and families who want true security, without sacrificing stability or obedience. A real protection dog is not aggressive. They are clear-headed, confident, highly obedient, and capable of responding appropriately to real threats. What We Focus On:
● Advanced obedience and impulse control
● Immediate on/off control
● Strong “out” and recall under pressure
● Real-world scenario training
Your dog will remain social and safe in public while being trained to protect when genuinely necessary.
Owner Involvement Required
We train you alongside your dog to ensure proper handling, legal awareness, and long-term reliability. This is not about creating aggression. It’s about building a balanced, controlled, and dependable protector.
EXPERT
DOG TRAINERS
Chantel & Mike
OWNER / HEAD TRAINERS
At Fully Loaded Canines, We specialize in developing calm, clear communication between dogs and the people who live with them. Whether we’re instilling foundational obedience or addressing complex behavioral challenges like anxiety and reactivity, our focus is always the same: real-world results that hold up at home, in public, and under pressure.
Our education includes Master Dog Trainer certification under Richard Hinez. Joel Silverman’s JSDT Basic and Advanced certifications. As well as multiple Animal CPR & First Aid certifications. We pursue continued education relentlessly because the standard for professional dog training should never be average.
We believe training should create independence, not dependency. When your dog completes a program, you won’t feel reliant on us to maintain results. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of structure, communication, and leadership so you can confidently sustain calm, reliable behavior on your own.
At the same time, you’re never without support. As your dog matures and life evolves, we remain a trusted resource for guidance, refinement, and continued growth throughout your dog’s lifetime.
Our standard is simple: We help you bring out the best in your dog.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Type Of Training Methods Do You Use?
We classify ourselves as adaptive dog trainers.
That means we don’t force dogs into a rigid system. We study the individual dog in front of us, their temperament, drives, stress thresholds, genetics, and motivations, and we build the training around them.
We identify what truly motivates your dog and work within their parameters to create clarity, confidence, and reliable behavior.
Above everything else, we prioritize the dog’s health and well-being. Training should improve a dog’s quality of life, not compromise it.
How long will it take to train my dog?
It depends on the dog, the behavior, and the owner’s involvement. Basic obedience foundations typically take a few weeks to install properly. Reactivity, anxiety, and aggression take longer — because we’re changing behavioral patterns, not just teaching commands.
What matters most isn’t speed — it’s clarity and consistency.
Fast training that doesn’t hold up in real life isn’t real training.
Will this actually work for my dog?
Yes, our training works.
Not just because we know how to train dogs, but because we know how to teach people. Real results happen when both ends of the leash understand what’s going on.
You’re not just hiring a dog trainer. You’re gaining a coach who cares about your success just as much as your dog’s. We guide you, support you, and make sure you understand the structure and communication needed to create lasting change.
When you know how to lead clearly, your dog responds confidently.
