Freedom Starts Here
Designed for adolescent and adult dogs ready to build the structure, consistency, and communication that create lasting freedom.
More Than Obedience
Whether your dog is starting from scratch or needs help overcoming unwanted behaviors, the Freedom Program begins by building a strong foundation through structure, consistency and clear communication. As your dog develops a solid understanding of their obedience, we carefully introduce e-collar conditioning to create reliable communication and greater freedom in real-world environments.
The goal isn't simply teaching commands- it's teaching your dog how to confidently navigate everyday life. By reinforcing behaviors in a variety of environments and heavy distractions, we develop the kind of reliability that allows you to enjoy more of life with your dog.
What Your Dog Will Learn
Skills For Everday Freedom
Reliable Obedience
Teaching the core obedience skills before reinforcing them through distance, duration, and real-world distractions.
Public Outings & Exposure
Practicing and proofing skills in parks, trails, pet-friendly stores, outdoor dining, and other everyday environments.
Manners & Behavior
Improving everyday manners while addressing unwanted behaviors like jumping, barking, counter surfing, and poor impulse control.
Place
Teaching your dog to remain calm and relaxed in a designated place, while increasing distance and distractions.
Heel
Teaching your dog to confidently walk by your side, creating calmer more enjoyable outings.
Rest and Downtime
Structured rest periods built into each training day that teach your dog how to relax, settle independently, and develop an off switch for everyday life.
Impulse Control
Building self-control and teaching your dog to make better choices around everyday distractions.
Exercise & Enrichment
Providing structured mental and physical exercise through purposeful play, treadmill conditioning, and enrichment to support a balanced, fulfilled dog.
Reliable Recall
A reliable recall is more than a command- it's one of the most important skills your dog can have, creating safety, freedom and peace of mind.
Socialization & Exposure
Building confidence through controlled exposure to new people, places, sounds, surfaces, and everyday experiences.
E-Collar Conditioning
More than just a training tool, the e-collar becomes an extension of the leash, reinforcing known behaviors and creating reliable communication at distance that allows your dog more freedom while staying connected to you.
Choose your path
Two Ways to Get There
The skills are the same. The path depends on what works best for you and your dog.
Your dog comes home every night
Your dog trains with Katie four days a week and returns to you each evening. You stay involved, reinforce skills at home, and see the transformation happen week by week.
Structure Builds Freedom.
Your dog lives and trains with Katie for 3 weeks allowing for consistent practice, real-world exposure, and the repetition needed to build reliable skills. From confidence building and navigating everyday distractions to reliable obedience and resolving unwanted behaviors, training is built into everyday life-not just one lesson at a time.
