☕🍷🍽 Well-trained dogs = more adventures together! 🐾

One of the best parts of having a well-trained dog? Being able to bring them along for real-life moments — whether it’s relaxing at a coffee shop, enjoying a meal on a restaurant patio, or kicking back at a local brewery or winery. 🙌

The foundational tools we focus on in training — like calm place work, leash skills, impulse control, and neutrality in busy environments — all build up to this goal. It’s not just about obedience... it’s about freedom, trust, and shared experiences. 💛

Have you and your dog reached this milestone? We’d love to see it! Drop a photo in the comments or tag us at your favorite dog-friendly hangout. And if you know of a great dog-friendly business, share it in the comments so we can support them too!

🐾 Say Hello to Chappie! 🐾

We were thrilled to have Chappie and his awesome owners, Cody and Jenae, join us for our Liberty Day Training Program!

You might recognize this crew—Cody and Jenae sent their first pup, Otto, through training with us two years ago and joined us for our Canine Good Citizen class last year.

When they brought Chappie home, they knew they wanted both dogs to share the same training foundation and expectations—and we’re happy to say: mission accomplished! Now they have two happy, confident, and well-trained pups.

Consistency is key, and this family nailed it. Great job, Chappie fam! 👏🎉

🐾 Meet Teddy! 🐾

Teddy joined our Liberty Day Training Program to get ready for a big move from a quiet small town to the busier city of Chico. His mom wanted to set them both up for success—and that meant no more dragging her down the sidewalk or reacting to every dog they passed.

With some focused training, Teddy has learned how to walk nicely, stay calm, and follow his mom’s lead. Now they’re ready to enjoy a stress-free life together in their new home! 💛🐶

Way to go, Teddy! 🎉

🌧️ Crummy weather got you and your pup stuck inside? Don’t worry — it’s the perfect time to train! 🐾

When the weather isn’t ideal for a walk or play in the yard, use the opportunity to build your dog’s skills indoors. Practice:

🪑 Duration sits and downs – Help your pup learn patience and self-control.
🏃 Recalls in the hallway – A few reps down the hall can do wonders for your recall game.
🚪 Place work – Strengthen their ability to relax and stay in one spot.
🧠 Mental enrichment – Puzzle feeders, sniff games, and name recognition are great inside fun!
🤩 Perhaps teach them a new trick.

Training doesn’t stop just because the sun’s hiding. A little indoor work goes a long way in reinforcing good habits — and it helps burn off that cabin fever energy! 💪🐶

One of our favorite things to hear from clients is what stuck with them most after training — and hands down, one of the most frequently mentioned game-changers is the "Wait" command. 🛑🐕

Whether it's waiting at the door, waiting to eat, or waiting to hop out of the car, this simple command builds impulse control, reinforces leadership, and makes everyday life smoother and safer for both dogs and their humans.

We’d love to hear from YOU —

🐾 Say hello to Alfie! 🐾

This sweet pup just joined our Freedom K9 Star Puppy Program, and he's already stealing hearts with his eager spirit and bright mind. 💫

Alfie's journey is extra special—his family hopes to train him as a future service dog, and we’re honored to be part of his foundation work. The Star Puppy Program is all about building confidence, structure, and early obedience—essential first steps for any working dog in training!

We’re so excited to watch Alfie grow into his potential. 💙

🛏️ Crate Training: A Daily Comfort & a Lifesaving Skill 🐾

Crate training isn’t just for puppies or housebreaking—it’s one of the best things you can do for your dog’s well-being and peace of mind.

A properly introduced crate gives your dog a safe, cozy space to relax, recharge, and feel secure in daily life. Whether you're running errands, having guests over, or traveling, a crate-trained dog is:

✅ More calm and confident when home alone
✅ Easier to manage in new or stressful situations
✅ Less likely to develop destructive habits
✅ Better prepared for vet visits, boarding, and grooming

🌪️ And if life throws you a curveball—like an emergency or evacuation? A dog who is comfortable in a crate is safer, easier to transport, and much less stressed during sudden changes in environment.

Crate training provides structure, security, and independence—and in uncertain moments, it can be a true lifesaver.

Need help introducing the crate the right way? We’re here to guide you and your pup every step of the way!

🐾 Transformation Tuesday: Meet Hazel 🐾

Hazel came to us with very high anxiety and intense reactivity. She couldn’t be left home alone, and crating her led to panic and destruction. She had developed an unhealthy relationship with her owner, making daily life stressful for both of them.

Her journey started with building self-control, creating structure, and working on confidence. We focused on helping Hazel find a calmer state of mind where learning could happen. Once Hazel started making progress, we shifted focus to her owner—teaching her how to set clear boundaries, maintain high expectations, and foster a healthier, more balanced bond with Hazel.

Now, Hazel is calmer, more confident, and learning to handle the world in a whole new way including traveling to Tahoe with her owner! We love getting the post-graduation updates from our clients ❤️!

Behavioral training isn’t just about the dog—it’s about the relationship.

🐾 Consistency is Key! 🐾

Whether you’re training a brand-new puppy or working with an adult dog, one of the most important ingredients for success is consistency.

That means:
✅ Using the same cues and commands
✅ Reinforcing the same rules
✅ Responding to behaviors the same way every time

But here’s the big one: everyone in the household has to be on the same page.
If one person lets the dog jump on the couch and another corrects it, your dog gets mixed signals—and that slows down learning (and can lead to frustration for both of you!).

Dogs thrive when the rules are clear and predictable. 🐶💡

So talk as a family, decide on your training goals, and commit to being consistent together. Your dog will thank you with better behavior and a stronger bond! 💕

🐾📸 Happy Nature Photography Day! 🌿🐕

One of our favorite traditions each year is taking photos of the dogs with the stunning lavender blooms at Upper Greenhorn Park. The vibrant purples and fresh mountain air create the perfect backdrop to capture the spirit of our pups and the beauty of nature. 💜🌾

Whether it's a wagging tail in a field of flowers or a serene moment on the trail, we believe the best memories are made outdoors.

📷 We’d love to see your favorite nature photos too! Drop them in the comments and help us celebrate the joy and beauty of the great outdoors — and the pets who make it even better. 🐶🌲

🐾 Training Update: Mack's Transformation! 🐾

Remember Mack’s evaluation video a few weeks ago?!?

Mack joined us last month for our Freedom Board and Train program with some big goals—he was reactive to other dogs, making walks and outings a challenge. But look at him now! 💪

✅ Calmly coexisting around other dogs
✅ Comes when called (even with distractions!)
✅ Walks politely on leash

We’re so proud of Mack and all the progress he’s made. With structure, consistency, and the right guidance, he’s thriving—and his future looks bright! 🌟

Way to go, Mack! 🐶👏

🐾 Microchip Check-In Time! 🐾

Did you know that microchipped dogs are over twice as likely to be reunited with their families if they ever get lost? 🏡✨ But here’s the catch — a microchip is only as good as the contact info attached to it!

📣 Friendly Reminder: If you've moved, changed your phone number, or switched email addresses, take a few minutes today to update your pet's microchip information. It could make all the difference in an emergency.

✔️ Not sure which registry your pet’s chip is with? Your vet or local shelter can scan it for free and help you find out!

Our friends at the Siskiyou Humane Society offer more information on microchipping and their program at: https://siskiyouhumane.org/resources/microchipping/

Let’s keep those families together! 💕🐶
