🐾 SERVICE DOG TRAINING: THE “UNDER” COMMAND 🐾

Grace is showing off one of her important service dog skills — UNDER! 💙🐕

The “under” command teaches a service dog to calmly tuck underneath a table, chair, bench, or other designated space and remain there until released. It may look like a simple command, but for a working service dog, it’s an incredibly useful skill!

Service dogs accompany their handlers into restaurants, coffee shops, waiting rooms, airports, classrooms, and many other public places. Teaching a solid “under” helps the dog stay safely out of walkways, take up less space, and settle quietly while their handler goes about their day.

At Freedom K9, we believe service dog training is about more than obedience — it’s about teaching practical skills that make everyday life with a service dog safer, smoother, and more independent.

What service dog command or task would you like us to show next?

🐾 SERVICE DOG SKILLS: THE “STAND” COMMAND 🐾

Have you ever thought about what it looks like to take a service dog into a public restroom? 🚻🐕‍🦺

At Freedom K9, one skill we love teaching our service dogs is STAND!

Public bathrooms can be small, busy, and sometimes difficult to navigate with a service dog. Teaching a solid stand command gives us another way to position our dogs while waiting for the restroom or while inside a stall. Instead of sitting or lying on a public bathroom floor, we can simply ask them to stand and hold their position.

The stand command can also be useful for some mobility-assistance tasks. When a dog has been specifically trained and appropriately conditioned for mobility work, a controlled stand may be incorporated into tasks designed for that handler’s individual needs.

There are so many everyday situations where a reliable stand can come in handy—which is why we LOVE this command! ❤️🐾

Now we’re challenging YOU! 👏

Practice your dog’s STAND command at home, then start bringing it into appropriate public environments as your dog is ready. If your dog is a trained service dog, practice it in real-life situations where the skill is useful.

📸 We want to see your progress! Drop a picture or video in the comments of your dog practicing their stand command. Let’s see those service dogs working! 🐕‍🦺💪

🐾 EXISTING AROUND OTHER DOGS IS A SKILL. 🐾

Your dog does not have to be friends with every dog they meet.

They don’t need to play with every dog.
They don’t need to greet every dog.
And they definitely don’t need to interact with every dog they see.

What they CAN learn is how to simply exist around other dogs. ❤️

At Freedom K9, we teach dogs that another dog being nearby doesn’t have to be a big deal.

🐕 Walk calmly past other dogs
🐕 Share the same space without interacting
🐕 Focus on their handler instead of another dog
🐕 Settle without barking, lunging, pulling, or fixating
🐕 Learn that seeing another dog doesn’t automatically mean playtime

Some dogs love other dogs, and some would rather have their own space — both are okay.

The goal isn’t to force friendships. The goal is to teach your dog how to be calm, confident, and under control while other dogs are around.

If seeing another dog turns your walk into chaos, it doesn’t have to stay that way.

At Freedom K9, we can help teach you and your dog the skills to enjoy the world together — even when other dogs are part of it.

🐾 They don’t have to be friends. They can learn to simply EXIST.

Introducing Remmie!

This 13-month-old French Bulldog is joining us with a long list of training goals! From basic obedience, recall and leash manners to building confidence, improving household manners, and developing the skills he'll need to be reliable off leash.

One of his family's biggest goals? Being able to have him join them on family adventures! Whether they're traveling, enjoying outdoor activities, or simply exploring somewhere new, we want Remmie to have the skills and confidence to be a great companion along the way.

But training Remmie isn't quite a one-size-fits-all approach. As a brachycephalic breed, French Bulldogs can have a harder time regulating their body temperature and may overheat more quickly than other dogs. Because of that, we've made some adjustments to his training plan.

🌡️ Shorter training sessions
💧 Plenty of breaks and opportunities to cool down
🐾 Adjusting activities based on temperature and Remmie's comfort
👀 And, most importantly, keeping a close eye on him throughout every session

Good training means understanding the individual dog in front of you and adapting the plan to help them succeed safely.

We can't wait to watch Remmie grow in confidence, skills, and reliability as he works toward becoming the adventure buddy his family hopes he can be!

And just like that Freddy has graduated!

What a journey this young guy has had! When Freddy arrived, he was a fun-loving, energetic pup who thought every dog was his friend, every shoe was a toy, and every opportunity was an invitation to GO!

During his training, Freddy worked hard on the skills that mattered most to his family — including reliable recall, impulse control, obedience, settling in busy environments, and learning how to make good choices around distractions.

From running full speed ahead to confidently holding a down during pack walk with lots of distractions all around!

Congratulations, Freddy! We can't wait to see where your adventures take you next! 💙

Training That Fits Into Real Life—and Real Adventures!

Diesel is back for another refresher! His owner is taking advantage of our Tune-Up Training while Diesel was boarding with Siskiyou Pet Care. With high expectations for Diesel and plans to include him in future travels, it was the perfect opportunity to add some extra training to his stay.

During his Tune-Up Training, Diesel got to put his skills to work in a whole new environment—including a trip to McCloud Falls with Ira!

We love seeing owners who recognize that training doesn't have to stop after a program is completed. Sometimes a little refresher is exactly what a dog needs to keep progressing and prepare for the adventures ahead.

✈️ Planning a trip?

Consider adding Tune-Up Training while they board at Siskiyou Pet Care! It's a great way to use boarding time to reinforce skills, work through specific challenges, and help your dog be better prepared for traveling and new experiences.

Looking for something fun to do tomorrow?

Come join us for our Greenhorn Pack Walk! We’re throwing it back to a few weeks ago with this great crew because there’s nothing quite like getting out with a group of dogs and their people, building confidence, practicing good manners, and having some fun together. ❤️

And yes, we know it’s been HOT! During the warmer weather, we switch things up with other fun activities that Kindle dreams up to keep our pack moving, learning, and enjoying time together while staying comfortable.

As the weather starts to cool down, we’ll get back to one of our favorites — the lake loop!

👉 Who can join? Freedom K9 Pack Walks are open to all past and present clients who have completed one of our training programs.

And the best part? Pack Walks are FREE for our clients! They’re included as part of our ongoing commitment to your success — because training doesn’t end when your program does.

So, if you’re looking for something fun to do tomorrow, grab your pup and come join the pack!

Meet Bandit! ❤️

This handsome 8-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi recently graduated from our Liberty Day Training Program!

Bandit is the housemate of Arwen, who completed the same program earlier this year at just under 2 years old. While Bandit may be the older dog, he still had some habits that were creating a little chaos at home—and he also struggled with body handling and grooming.

Now, Bandit has the same solid training foundation as his younger housemate, helping create clearer expectations and a little more harmony for the whole family.

Age is never a reason to stop learning!

Great job Bandit and congrats to your family!

Everyone Help Us Welcome Whiskey to the Pack!

Whiskey recently completed our Good Puppy Program!

His owners first joined us last fall for our Liberty Day Train Program with their Jack Russell, Hunter. Since then, Whiskey has joined the family—and they made the smart choice to start him off with a strong training foundation right from the beginning.

Whiskey was just 12 weeks old when his owners reached out to us, and starting early is one of the best gifts you can give a puppy. Early training helps puppies learn what is expected of them before unwanted habits have a chance to develop.

And when you have two dogs in the household, consistency becomes even more important! Hunter and Whiskey need to understand the same expectations and rules so everyone can live together successfully. Having clear, consistent communication with both dogs helps create a more harmonious household and sets everyone up for success.

We love seeing families continue their training journey with us as their dogs and households grow. From Hunter to Whiskey, this family is committed to giving their dogs the skills, structure, and guidance they need to be the best companions they can be.

Congratulations Whiskey and congrats to your family for giving you a great start with our Good Puppy Program!
