We recommend coming prepared with the following equipment: a 6 foot leash, long line, flat collar, treat pouch, high value food rewards and/or a toy. If your dog has been conditioned to any of the following, please bring these as well: prong collar and ecollar. If place cots are recommended, it will be communicated to you ahead of time.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

This is dependent on the dog's age, needs, circumstance, but approximately every seven to ten days. Please consult with your trainer for their recommendation.

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

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.

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.
