About Freedom of Dog Training Academy
Meet Jackson CEO & Founder, Freedom of Dog Training Academy – Salem, Oregon Hi, I’m Jackson, the proud owner and lead trainer at Freedom of Dog Training Academy here in Salem, Oregon. With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in force-free, science-based training methods that are proven to help dogs learn faster and build lasting positive behaviors. My mission is to create confident dogs and empowered handlers, one team at a time. Dogs are more than just pets to me, they’re my passion, my purpose, and my daily inspiration. They’ve taught me patience, joy, and how to appreciate life. That’s why I’m dedicated to helping others build strong, respectful relationships with their dogs based on trust, love, and consistency.

I am having my standard poodle trained by Jackson and I highly recommend him for any disabled person! I am not young, have had 2 strokes, and my disabilities include dysarthria (aphasia). Yet Jackson always finds a way to understand what I need. My dog, Herman, likes him too and will soon be trained by Jackson to brace me if I fall and need him to help me to get up, plus other duties. Thanks to Jackson he will soon learn how to be a true service dog.
Love Jackson! When we met and he met my Rosita, he immediately knew we were connected and that Rosita knew how to help me. He helped her perfect what she already knew to do during an episode. He also helped train her to get help when needed especially during traveling as we travel a lot. Everyone that meets Rosita is amazed of how well behaved, trained and connected we are. Thank you Jackson.

Jackson has been amazing, he's working with my Chihuahua who is to the say the least a challenge and my rottweiler. My issue with training has always been the financial aspect and not being able to afford a trainer however he is very affordable. You can tell that he cares about the animals he's working with and their owners. I went into training hesitant on if we'd see any progress but during just one training session we could see results. I'm excited to continue working with him.
