What does your dog learn on their first week of our Freedom Off-Leash Board and Train?
The first week is all about building a 6-foot leash obedience foundation. They will learn important skills like eye contact, self-control, focus, and good manners. They will also learn to heel at your side with a loose leash, stay at your pace without sniffing the ground, pulling head, or lagging behind. Every time you stop walking, they will sit at your side. They will learn to sit and down with hand signals and voice commands, consistency. One command equals one action.
We don't use the word "stay." The stay is implied in every command.
Our training builds happy, confident dogs that understand boundaries and love to learn. We focus on building a bond and getting each dog into a great state of mind for their owners to be able to enjoy.
Koda is such a blast to work with and train.
Isn't she doing such a great job!?
Having fun and staying cool inside with Koda!
She's such a smart cookie!
Koda goes home at the end of the week from her Freedom Off-Leash Board and Train.
Koda is now on and off-leash reliable, she has great manners, and can go anywhere and everywhere safely with her owner!
Good girl!
It's never too late to have a RELIABLY trained dog.
Training shouldn't stop at puppy training, treats.
Yes, your dog can and should be off leash reliable.
Training brings confidence, fun, and freedom. For you, for your family, for your dog, and anyone and everyone your dog is around.
Have the dog you want to take with you. Have the dog your friends and family complement... not the one they try and avoid.
Have a great day!

Check out Juno on her last week of our Freedom Off-Leash Board and Train ❤️
Juno can be described as a sweet but low confident, nervous-nelly.
Throughout her Board and Train, we focused on building her confidence and helping her get into a better state of mind, along with her on and off-leash obedience skills. Building her trust and proper social skills around new people has been super rewarding. Look at that body wiggle towards Catherine! 🥰
As you see in the video, Juno knows Heel, Auto Sit, Sit & Down (with hand signals and voice command, let's go (which means stay close but you are free to cruise around), coming when called, and place. She also knows what "good" and "no" means.
Did she break accommand early? Yes. Does she take a second to follow through sometimes, absolutely.
Training doesn't mean your dog will be perfect all of the time. You won't have a robot.
What training gives you is the ability to communicate effectively to your dog and your dog understand and be able to follow through.
When Juno got up and started following Catherine instead of staying in the down command, Catherine calmly said no, gave her quick communication from the ecollar, paired with a hand signal. This gave Juno the clear message that she wasn't in the right command and Catherine wanted her back in the down command. Once she was back in the down command, Catherine marked the behavior with the marker word, good, so Juno knew she was in the right command.
Clear communication and understanding.
Proper training means never needing to yell, repeat yourself, darken your tone, or manhandle your dog.
Proper training builds a great relationship and bond ❤️
Good girl Juno!
Your owners are going to have so much fun with you!
Every dog loves Catherine!!! ❤️
We love what we do 🥰
Proper training brings great communication and lifelong bonds ❤️
Racecar Warm Ups!
Off-Leash heel, going from he left side of the path to the ride side.
It takes lots of focus, great communication, and self-control.
13 dogs all under control and all of us had a blast!
Training is fun!
A little video from the Mount Shasta Christmas Parade.
Check out how loud and busy it is! That's a lot of distractions!
How would your dog do in this situation?
We saw several dogs in the crowd that were having a very hard time. They were stressed, over-aroused, pulling on the leash, barking, whale eyed, and not enjoying all the craziness.
We are so proud of our K9 Pack!
I love our Pack Walks ❤️
Look at all of the good dogs with their awesomely dedicated owners!
We have multiple clients that are still joining us after over 6 years of Pack Walks!
Love it!
Two hours, that's all it takes to start a new way of life with your dog!
Gus was adopted about a year ago and even though he might not look it, he's 14 years old and going deaf!!!
He was used to doing his own thing, fence fighting, and who knows what else in his previous home. That made leash walking with this guy pretty tough. He was extremely reactive to other dogs and didn't have leash manners. That made for sucky hikes on narrow trails!
Raven brought Gus in for our Walk Doctor and left with a big smile on her face and a happy dog by her side!
Gus learned to walk like a gentleman by Raven's side, look to her for guidance and stay at her speed. Once they were having a great walk, we brought out doggie distractions to teach Gus that other dogs are just none of his business and the same new rules apply. Gus also learned his owner has his back and he doesn't need to act like a bad ass to keep safe.
It was great to see in this video that Gus made the choice to not only give no reaction to the other dogs but to avoid them by switching to Raven's other side.
This is huge!!!
They are now off and ready to take on the trails to practice their new skills!
Good boy Gus!
An old dog can learn new tricks 😉
Thanks for coming out Raven!
What can we say, fresh snow is THE BEST!
Patsy's enjoying her off leash freedom ❤️
Congratulations to Xena and her owner, Akierra!
They graduated from our Good Puppy Program!
Check out 4.5-month-old Xena on graduation day ❤️
Puppy obedience, good focus, following through with commands, great manners, and self-control!
Yep, we have high expectations 😉
Good girl Xena!
Sun's out, it's time to play! Controlled fetch fun with Yeti. ❤️
This video makes me cringe! So many nopes!!
A little bit more fun from Gold Rush Days!
🤣 I love our pack!
Awesome Pack Walk at Gold Rush Days!
Training with Roxie!
The trash truck comes every Monday morning like clockwork. What a perfect opportunity to train!
Rosie tended to be on the scardy cat reactive side. Pretty proud of this girl!
Training for real life!
Some appropriate back and forth play by boarders Burley and Sully <3
You know it's appropriate when both dogs take turns chasing, jumping, play bowing, sniffing, and in between can relax and do their own thing.
Burley also loves to splash in the puppy pool we have.
