    Program details

    Our protection dogs are family dogs with an important job. They are trained to protect you when you need them. We offer protection dog training to dogs that we personally source for you or young dogs that pass our protection evaluation. Our protection program is highly selective and we only accept specific dogs into our program. Why? Not all dogs are created equal, certain breeds have a predisposition to do this job, while others do not. Protection training for dogs is a delicate balance between harnessing the dogs primal instincts and training them to use those instincts properly to protect you. With our approach our goal is to train your dog to do the work when its time to but have a perfect temperament at home and when there is no threat.

We tried out different trainers and had started to lose hope. We have an anxiety high driven German Shepherd. We did our research and landed on Complete Canine training and decided to do the board and train. I missed my dog each day but knew this was something he needed. The staff was so patient with me and reassured me he was doing well. Although my dog wasn’t “cured” he did come back WAY more obedient. One thing to note is prepare to have your dog come back differently. It took my dog time to readjust back into our household, this one broke my heart BUT he is fully back to his goofy self just with better manners. Walks have been way more pleasant and we notice a huge difference in him. We finally feel that we have control of the walks and don’t have to worry about avoiding dogs/people anymore. I never thought we would see the day where we purposely put him in situations around other people and dogs. What we used to dread is what we look forward to. Shay and Zack have been incredible trainers. They treat Rowdy like their own. The front office staff is so sweet and kind. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody. The information they give you to be successful is crucial! These guys know what they are doing, and they are worth every penny and more! Thank you guys so much for being there for Rowdy and not letting his size or breed intimidate you! Turns out my dog isn’t as scary as he pretends to be. These guys knew from the second they met him how to communicate with him and Rowdy took to them. *Please note, Rowdy no longer uses a harness, these pictures are to show his size.

We took them a handful and they returned an obedient handful. We took our dog to them because we thought he was aggressive. They said he was insecure, worked with him, and now he is noticeably calmer.

I cannot say enough good things about this dog training facility! From the very beginning, it was made clear that this wasn’t just about training my dog—it was about training me too. They took the time to truly understand both my dog’s personality and my own, and helped us create a strong foundation of communication and trust. Brenna’s patience, knowledge, and dedication were incredible. She celebrated our progress, no matter how small, and gave us the tools and confidence to overcome challenges. Thanks to her, my dog is not only better behaved, but also happier and more confident—and I’ve grown so much as an owner, too. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and puts in the time and effort to help both you and your dog succeed, I can’t recommend Brenna and all the other trainers and this facility enough. Absolutely top-notch! Also wanted to include my dog absolutely loves coming here he gets excited even when he recognizes down the street where we are going. We brought my dog here as a puppy only a couple months old and have continued to attend refresher classes as he’s gotten older. Truly the best decision I could have made for my Cane Corso and me!

Highly recommend! Chris and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. We had training done as well as used their boarding services. We have absolutely no complaints.

I can’t express enough how great of an experience Complete K9 has been! We did a 6 week one on one with an Australian cattle dog puppy. While me and my partner have always had dogs, we haven’t really worked with trainers at this level. Knowledgeable, humble, patient, professional, and accommodating are just a few ways of describing it. Its so important to lay down a proper foundation and continue to work with your dogs, especially working breeds. Even the smallest changes in how to train make all the difference. We will absolutely recommend this facility to anyone seeking professional training, and their on-going once a month group sessions are an incredible value! Thank you so much Chris, and Complete K9!
