Unleashed Freedom K9 Academy

I reached out to Stephanie for help with my 4 year old German Shepherd/ Lab mix at the beginning of the year. I knew he needed some structure and I needed the guidance as to how to achieve this goal and help him live a happier and healthier life. Steph without hesitation signed up for the “job”, I say that word with quotation marks as this is not just a job to Step but is her life and her passion. She met Ruger and knew exactly what he needed and lessons started right then and there. I can say confidently that it was the best decision I made and can’t thank her enough for her amazing work she did with him and how quickly he caught on. We now enjoy going on walks, going into public stores which he had never been before and having the structure in our home as well. Thank you Steph for your hard work, greatly appreciated!

I can’t say enough great things about Stephanie and the work she did with our pup Frigg! When we rescued Frigg she was very skid-dish and scared of people and especially men. We contacted Stephanie and met with her to discuss what services she offered. After everything was discussed my wife and I decided to send Frigg to her….WOW what a difference Steph made in our girl. She came back to us a confident loving pup something that I didn’t think was possible with how scared Frigg was. I can’t thank her enough and I highly recommend anyone who is considering have their pets trained to take them to Stephanie. She is GREAT! She is a miracle worker and in my opinion one of the best trainers around! If we ever have another pet that needs training she will be the one doing it. Even after her training time was over Steph still stays involved with us and Frigg to make sure she is doing good and if we have any questions she is always there to help us. I can’t thank her enough and I highly recommend anyone looking for a trainer to not hesitate to call her and set up a time to get your pup to her. You won’t be disappointed!

I wouldn't recommend this trainer. She publicaly posted her not having complete control of her dog out in public, she was blocking the way when a man walked by.. she was not paying attention and her dog reached out to the man and he hardly touched the dogs nose and shes putting a poor older man who is a veteran on blast on the internet. That dog did not have a visible vest on or anything saying "Don't not pet" "Serivce dog" or anything. Absolutely asinine. *Update regarding the owners reply, no I am not someone who used her services, I would never nor would I recommend her services to anyone. Her video was just used to gain attention and likes on social media and used an extremely poor example or someone touching a dog without asking. She chose to use a pathetic example of a Veteran walking past her client who blocked an isle way. The man simply walked past the best he could, THE DOG reached out to say hello and he BARLEY touched the dog. This owner of this buisness would rather choose signaling out an individual online for the world to see (Yes you are signaling this man out rather you think you are or not you showed his face and is wronging him publically) putting him on blast than just making a post without a video on touching a dog. Absolutely ridiculous. Again I do not recommend this individuals buisness for the sheer fact of her putting a military vet on blast for barley touching a dog that CLEARY reached out to him first.

Stephanie is a PHENOMENAL dog trainer and I would very highly recommend her!! I have personally seen the positive impact she has made on not only the dogs and clients she helps, but also the community as a whole by educating and providing her endless guidance. Stephanie sacrifices so much of her life to help in the dog world - she's saved many dogs at risk for behavioral euthanasia (that other trainers refuse to help) and been the guiding light for owners seeking help. Her training is not just a one-and-done but she stays open for regular communication and support. I've received so much help for my dog where other trainer's methods simply don't work. She is also a very proud supporter of veterans and first responders! I cannot say enough about UFK9 training!! Reach out and see for yourself:)
