Community answer · Freedom K9 Dog Training · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
How many dogs do you take at a time in the board and train program?

Each trainer only takes a few dogs at a time, however this is dependent on that trainer's desired workload, lifestyle and home accommodations.  While training is our number one service, we also offer Vacation Boarding for our clients, which may impact how many training dogs can be accomodated.  In short, trainers are never given more than they can handle, which is why there may be a waitlist to start training, since we need to allow for ample time with each dog throughout the day to get multiple sessions and plenty of individualized care.

Community answer · Freedom K9 Dog Training · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
Where will my dog sleep at night for the board and train program?

Dogs sleep in crates at night, as well as between sessions during breaks, for their own safety.

Community answer · Freedom K9 Dog Training · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
I'm afraid my dog will think I abandoned them. Have you dealt with this?

Dogs feel welcomed wherever their needs are met. In the instance of sending your dog to training, your Trainer will be the provider of all things comforting (food, water, shelter, play, affection, structure, etc). Once training is complete, this source of comfort and security will be transferred back to you, making the transition simple for your dog.

Community answer · Freedom K9 Dog Training · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
I'm afraid my dog will look great with my trainer, but I will not be able to replicate what the trainer has accomplished. Have you ever had a dog not listen to the owner once returned home?

This is a great question and a simple one...if your trainer can get your dog to listen, so can you! While your trainer will have TAUGHT the skills for you, it is imperative that you FOLLOW THROUGH with these skills once your dog comes home. Consistency is the key. So if you consistently follow through with what you ask of your dog, you will see the exact same success that your trainer has experienced. This is why we include continuing education in the forms of Follow Up Lessons and Refresh Classes. We want to ensure that you have the continued coaching you need to be just as successful as your Trainer!

Community answer · Freedom K9 Dog Training · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
What do I need for lessons?

Please consult your trainer for specific needs for your individual lesson, however you can never go wrong with coming prepared with the following equipment: 6 foot leash, long line, flat collar, treat pouch, high value food rewards, a toy. Depending on the dog, you may need a prong, slip lead, ecollar or place cot, if your dog is conditioned to these tools.  Please check your program to see if tools are provided.

Community answer · Freedom K9 Dog Training · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
What does dog vacation boarding entail?

Boarding itself may vary, depending on the needs of the dog and other dogs in your trainer's care.  Feeding and medications are included in all boarding fees, as well as supervised free time or potential socialization with other client dogs, IF they are a good play match. Otherwise, training includes supervised free time. Should you opt info Refresh Training as an Add On, refresh sessions will look different day to day depending on your trainer's schedule, the weather, etc.  Options are not limited to field trips, tagging along to follow up lessons, group training, hikes, etc.

Community answer · Freedom K9 Dog Training · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
What do I need to send with my dog for boarding?

For dog boarding, you will need to send your dog's food (individually packaged), as well as any medication they receive. Please also send your dog wearing a flat collar. If your dog is scheduled for Refresh Training during their stay, please send your dog with any training collars they received during their program (prong, ecollar, etc). Trainers are equipped with all other equipment needed for your dog's stay, so NO need to send crates, place cots, etc.

Question on Google
Who can attend a Dog Training Refresh Class?

Dog Training Refresh Classes are open to dogs who have completed any of our obedience based programs. These are not open to the public as they are not an opportunity to learn new skills, simply an opportunity for our Freedom K9 community to refine the skills they have previously invested in. If you are unsure whether your and your dog are eligible to attend, please contact us directly.

Question on Google
What is the purpose of attending a dog training Refresh Class?

Dog Training Refresh Classes are designed to take the skills you and your dog have been taught in your program and help you fine tune those skills in a more distracting environment. We don't believe training should stop after you receive the fundamentals. Trainers will help you navigate the skills you and your dog have already acquired and help challenge your training so that you can continue to learn and grow with the Freedom K9 community.

Mary was amazing!! She took our little rascals Bo & Peanut from excessive yankers and barkers to the calm, behaved sweetie pies we knew they could be. 10/10 would recommend and will continue our boarding and training sessions. Mary is very knowledgeable and was able to teach my wife and I tactics that have literally changed our relationships with our fur babies for the better. Could not be more impressed!!

Look no further- Freedom K9 is the REAL deal…So grateful to Lindsey for truly giving our girl Venus, FREEDOM. She is a totally different dog capable of going anywhere and managing anything thrown at her. We sent our 125 lb XL Bully that came to us with some negative learned behaviors to Freedom K9 for her 30 day board and train program and are so glad we did. It was a financial investment in our dogs life but also our families life with our pet. Before finding Lindsey, we contemplated if we were the right parents for her, but we trusted in her abilities and are SO glad we did! Our dog came home a different animal, her anxiety is completely gone!!! She listens better than ANY dog I’ve ever had which says a lot as I have owned border collies in the past. We get lifetime support as well as an extremely professional and organized online library of training content!!!! That’s worth every penny in and of itself. We also get to experience group trainings and see the families she has helped while working our girl through high stress environments. Venus will now be a bully that will never fall into the negative stigma attached to her breed. She is a strong, sweet, and loving dog who aims to please. Thank you thank you thank you! Hope to catch up soon, 🎾🐾

We sent Cocoa to be trained with Tristian and could not be any happier. Tristian was thorough and meaningful every step of the way with Cocoa. He truly treated her as if she were a part of his family. He worked tirelessly to make sure Cocoa mastered all commands before coming back to the house. He also worked wonderfully with our family and showed us the new expectations he laid out for Cocoa through his training. He kept us informed daily with videos and texts on her progress and always explained what he was doing to us as her owners so we understood. We are so thankful for Tristian and all the work he did to ensure Cocoa was well taken care of, loved, and taught during her time away. He is one of a kind and Cocoa has already been back once to run with his pack! Thank you Tristian! We appreciate you!

I recently had my Chocolate lab go through the Puppy foundations and Leash manners training and I was very impressed! My trainer Tristan was very thorough in explaining the process and was very clear on what to do during my dogs go home lesson. I was able to tell Tristan certain things I’d like to focus on for my pup and he was able to cater to those things extremely well! I would definitely recommend Freedom K9 to anyone looking for obedience training!

My wife and I decided to get a puppy 7 weeks ago and Freedom K9 has helped us through the process from day 1. We could not be happier with service and professionalism we have received. We would highly recommend Freedom K9 for any of your training needs!
