About Full Circle Canine

Full Circle Canine works out of East Nashville and frames its whole offer around emotional change rather than command lists. The site opens with a view of why the caseload has shifted – "more shelter dogs, pandemic puppies, denser living with more dogs than ever" – and says the team responded by focusing on feelings first.

What you can book here

Two things: a 10-day board-and-train program and in-home visits. The site names what they are for directly – "We address reactivity, anxiety and any problem holding your relationship back through our 10 day board & train program and in home visits." The stated entry point is deliberately low-friction: "Let's start with a 20 minute phone call." There is a published pricing page and an intake form for owners ready to commit, and logistics run through the business's own app, which clients download and set up a profile in.

Method

The description is specific about the picture of a session: "food and play on the end of long leashes with big fluffy collars in big open spaces". That is a reward-based, distance-and-decompression approach rather than a correction-based one.

How they see the owner's role

The culture page is unusually honest about effort: "We believe you are the best trainer for your dog and we will strive to help you get there. If your dog has problems, this process is like losing weight or quitting smoking: it is not easy. It requires change and support that we can help facilitate. Think of us like hype-people." They also say the business aims at long-term relationships across several services rather than one-off jobs.

Practical details

Hours are listed as 7:00-22:00 Monday to Saturday and 10:00-18:00 Sunday, which is a wider window than most. The business also runs a custom canine transport vehicle, which it says is the only one of its kind.

Who this suits

Owners of reactive or anxious dogs who want a short, intensive residential option backed by home visits, and who prefer a reward-based approach.
