🐾 Deep Pressure Therapy in Action 🐾

Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) is one of the powerful tasks a service dog can be trained to perform — applying gentle, steady pressure to help their handler feel calm, grounded, and regulated.

✨ Helps reduce anxiety & stress
✨ Supports emotional regulation
✨ Provides comfort in overwhelming moments

The dog pictured here is Gracie, practicing DPT at a public event with hundreds of people around her. Real-world training like this is essential to preparing service dogs for everyday life with their handlers.

Moments like this showcase the focus, confidence, and reliability these dogs develop through thoughtful, intentional training.

Neva is back with us and currently enrolled in our Freedom Board & Train Program—and we’re so excited to have her again! She previously joined us for our Liberty Day Train Program, and now she’s ready to level up her training.

During her stay, Neva is working on:
✔️ Building confidence
✔️ Crate training
✔️ Improving social skills with both dogs and humans
✔️ Off-leash reliability
✔️ Saying goodbye to her counter-surfing habit 🙈

🎥 This short video shows Neva during her first few days with us, giving you a peek at her confidence level at the start of training. We can’t wait to share her progress as she continues her journey—stay tuned! 💪🐶

🎓🐾 Freedom K9 Graduate Alert! 🐾🎓

Bodie has officially graduated from our Freedom Board & Train Program, and we couldn’t be more proud of this sweet, handsome guy! From day one, Bodie won hearts with his gentle personality and eager-to-please attitude — truly a certified sweetheart. 💛

Over the past few weeks, Bodie has been hard at work building the solid foundation his family hoped for. He’s made great strides toward calmer walks, a stronger recall, and improved focus — all important skills as he grows into both a wonderful family companion and a future hunting partner.

We were also so excited to see Bodie and his mom, Amy, join us for their very first pack walk last week! 🐕‍🦺👣 Seeing teams continue their training together after graduation is one of our favorite parts of the process.

Watching Bodie grow into a more confident, engaged, and reliable young dog has been such a joy for our team. We know this is just the beginning for him, and we can’t wait to see all the big things ahead.

Congrats, Bodie! 🎉 Give this graduate some love in the comments 👇

Meet Brisket 🐾💙

This adorable 3-month-old Australian Shepherd mix is joining us for our STAR Puppy Board & Train program, and she’s already stealing hearts.

Brisket has all the fun puppy things going on—wiggles, curiosity, and plenty of puppy energy—but her family is doing the right thing by starting her off with a solid training foundation early on.

She may have the cutest little face right now, but those faces always grow up… and good habits start in puppyhood 😉🐶

We’re excited to help Brisket build confidence, manners, and skills that will last a lifetime. Stay tuned for updates as she works her way through the program!

January is National Train Your Dog Month 🐾

What better time to strengthen communication, confidence, and everyday manners with your dog?

We’re making it fun by kicking off a January Training Challenge, and Week 1 is all about Focus & Foundations — something Olive is currently working on in her Liberty Day Train program 💪🐶.

🎯 This week’s challenge:
• Practice name recognition
• Reward eye contact
• Refresh basic cues like sit, down, or place

Strong focus is the foundation for all training — if your dog can’t focus on you, learning stalls before it even starts.

📸 Join the challenge:
Share a photo or video of your dog choosing to focus on you, and tell us what you’re working on this week!

Let’s start the year strong and build better habits together 💪🐶.

Earlier today the following message from our Founder went out via email and text message but we wanted to share here to make sure all our amazing clients receive the letter.

To our incredible clients, friends, and community—

As we close out 2025 and look towards 2026, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you.

Thank you for trusting Freedom K9 and Siskiyou Pet Care with your beloved dogs. Whether you’ve joined us for training, boarding, daycare, grooming, shared our posts, or referred friends and family our way—your support is the reason we are able to do what we love every single day.

What began as a passion for helping dogs and their people has grown into something truly special because of you. Your trust, kind words, referrals, and continued support allow us to grow our small business while continually raising the standard for pet care and dog training in northern California and southern Oregon.

Today, Freedom K9 and Siskiyou Pet Care proudly employ 13 dedicated and compassionate team members. Our team is a unique and wonderful mix—high school students experiencing their first job, college students balancing work and school, individuals supporting their families, team members working second jobs (though SPC is, of course, their favorite 😉), and those who have discovered a true passion and long-term career path in dog care. We affectionately call those special few our lifers.

This past year, several team members pursued continuing education, attended professional seminars, completed certifications, and deepened their commitment to the care, training, and well-being of the dogs entrusted to us. Watching our team grow alongside our expanding resort has been incredibly rewarding.

Above all, we are deeply grateful for the relationships we’ve built, the progress we’ve witnessed in so many dogs, and the families who have become part of our extended pack. Your trust means everything to us.

We look forward to many more wagging tails, milestones, and memories together in 2026 and beyond!

With gratitude,
Kindle Aseltine
Founder & Director

🎆 Happy New Year’s Eve from all of us at Freedom K9! 🎆

Wishing all of our wonderful clients and their pups a safe, calm, and relaxing New Year’s Eve. Please remember to keep dogs secure and comfortable during fireworks and celebrations.

Ira and Sunny Boy wanted to pop in and help us spread the love — because sometimes a little extra cuteness is the perfect way to end the year 🐾💙

Thank you for trusting us with your dogs this year. We’re looking forward to another great year together! ✨

🐾 The Power of a Release Word 🐾

Apollo has been putting in the work, practicing holding place until he’s clearly released. 👏

In training, a release word is just as important as the command itself. It tells your dog exactly when the job is done and they’re free to move. That clarity is critical for duration behaviors like place and stay.

That’s why choosing the right release word matters. Common words like “okay” are used constantly in everyday conversation and can accidentally give a false release—before you intend it.

By using a distinct, intentional release word such as "Free", Apollo knows he’s not done until he hears that word. Clear communication builds consistency, confidence, and reliable behavior. 💪🐕

🎓 Freedom Board & Train Graduate Spotlight: Gordo! 🐾

A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Gordo, an adorable Alaskan Klee Kai—a breed known for its striking, husky-like looks in a smaller package, along with high intelligence, alertness, and a strong bond with their people.

When Gordo came to us, he was dealing with a serious case of FOMO (fear of missing out). If he knew others were nearby, he’d paw and whine in his crate, and handling was something he was not comfortable with. His owner had some big goals for him, including:

✔️ Off-leash reliability
✔️ Calm, quiet crate time
✔️ Learning place (relaxing on his bed)
✔️ No jumping on people
✔️ Improved confidence with handling

Through his Board & Train program, Gordo made great progress in all of these areas. As with every dog in our program, handling was a key focus—a crucial skill that helps make vet visits, grooming, and everyday care less stressful for both dogs and humans.

We’re so proud of the work Gordo put in and the growth he’s shown during his time with us. Way to go, Gordo! 👏🐶

Everyone Meet Hunter! 🐾

This spirited Jack Russell Terrier recently completed our Liberty Day Train Program, and he’s already on his way to being a much more well-mannered pup! When Hunter came to us, recall was nonexistent, obedience was a challenge, and that classic Jack Russell prey drive was in full force.

Through structured training, consistency, and plenty of guidance, Hunter made great progress and is learning how to focus, listen, and make better choices—even with distractions around. He still has that fun Jack Russell personality, but now it’s paired with skills that set him (and his humans!) up for success.

Way to go, Hunter!

We’re excited to see you continue growing into the polite, confident pup you’re becoming 🐶🎉
