BENEFITS OF AN
Located just outside of North Houston, Freedom K9 takes your loved companion into our home as one of ours. This affords us the opportunity to work on the core fundamentals of obedience in and out of a home setting.
While using the surroundings to our benefit, we are able to first have one on one undisturbed time with your pet in a controlled environment and then moving on to the everyday sounds of nature, children playing, other animals and distractions that you may encounter yourself so that your dog has been acclimated to them while maintaining obedience.
You and your furry companion are just one step away from a better life together! Book a free evaluation and find out which dog training program is right for you.
READ OUR REVIEWS
Stephanie2021-11-15 We sent our 4 month old puppy to Darryl for 3 weeks and have been very impressed with her progress. We will continue to use Freedom K9 for our pet training needs. Ryan Bowen2021-11-10 We dropped our pup off and picked her up a few weeks later and she was really well trained. I would recommend this to anyone end everyone. Our hyper pup can be told to stay in her place and she will stay until released. We plan on using his services for boarding and any advanced off leash we plan on doing. Great value, an he got it done in time for my daughter's birthday, so she could have her pup back! No more nipping, no more running away outside she is great! James Hood2021-11-01 Darryl worked with our 10 month old Doberman and it was an amazing experience. He was very professional and accomplished so much with our girl. She is now so well behaved. We are so glad we made the decision to have Darryl train her. Our only complaint is we didn’t do it sooner! Jason Fender2021-10-31 The board and train program really helped Charlie our puppy out allot. He went there because of his unruleness, and stubbornness. The three weeks he was there really made a huge difference. He came back allot cleaner, and he actually listens to the commands, and performs them so much more. It will take more time on our part working with him, but we got a great foundation to start with, and we look forward to having a much better loving relationship with Charlie. Tracy Downs2021-09-07 We had a great experience with Darryl. He was very knowledgeable, professional and experienced. I would, and will, highly recommend Freedom K9 Dog Training to anyone who is having issues with their pet. Jessica Monge2021-08-28 We had a great experience with Darryl. The knowledge and experience he has as a trainer was noticeable as soon as we brought our dog Max to him. We kept in communication throughout the whole process. We are very pleased with the improvements Max made. We are now able to enjoy our walks together so much that we have even graduated to going in bike rides around the block!! Highly recommend. Michelle Luck2020-06-05 Lindsey Is absolutely amazing. From the very first meeting with Lindsey for my pup's 1on1 puppy lessons starting at 12 weeks, I knew I had chosen the BEST trainer. Her energy and excitement is evidence of how much she loves what's she does, why she excels, and is passionate about making sure you and your dog succeed. Remi and I started with puppy lessons and continued with the 3 week immersion. Puppy lessons were 1on1, she didn't just train the pup during that time, she taught me what to do, how to do it, and why. We worked on these things between lessons and continued to build on them each lesson. Then immersion, Remi stayed with Lindsey Monday am until Friday afternoon. On Fridays we meet and again Lindsey showed me what they worked on, she observed me working with Remi making sure I did everything properly and then sent us home for the weekend to continue bonding while working on our homework. During the week, Lindsey was in contact with me quite often, sending messages, videos, pictures of Remi's progress. During the weekend and even after our immersion was complete Lindsey has always been available to respond to any questions/concerns. Professionalism 10/10, communication 10/10, friendliness 10/10, effectiveness of training 10/10. I have recommended Lindsey to everyone that has complimented me on how well behaved my dog is in public.
