Jen Freilich, IACP-CDT

The force has been with Jen from the beginning, before she could speak in complete sentences she was learning to work with dogs and horses, not against them. Her natural ability to understand and connect with animals, her passion for developing rewarding relationships between her canine clients and their human companions along with her intuitive ability to know what’s needed have contributed to her success as a dog trainer for more than 35 years.  

Accomplished in many areas from Puppy Selection and Raising to all levels of Obedience, Mobility Service Dogs and Therapy Dog Training, rehabilitating dogs with Reactivity, Aggression and Fear, as well as specializing in Socialization (one of six worldwide, only trainer in California to hold certification in Pack to Basics™ Socialization), problem-solving and behavior modification to Animal Actor, Trick Training and everything in between.

As an Animal Communicator, Jen understands how dogs think on a much deeper level and what they require to thrive, not just survive. She has the ability to help you understand what’s missing in the relationship you have always dreamed of. You can rest assured, whatever it is you are experiencing with your companion, no matter how hopeless your situation might feel, you are in safe hands. With Jen, you have much more than a dog trainer, you have an advocate and support system for life.

Jen has often been your second, third or fourth, even your seventh dog trainer; though if you are truly ready for wholistic transformation, she will be the last trainer you’ll ever need, welcoming you and generations to come into our training family. Read more about my continued education here.

Our Training Programs

Heel to Heal

8-week Private Obedience and Transformation Training  | $4999

Heel to Heal™ is for all ages, all breeds and all issues you may be experiencing; from puppy raising, to Service Dogs, companions competing in events, fears and phobias to reactivity and aggression, as well as everything in between.

This program takes a wholistic, whole dog approach when working with your favorite family member, helping you achieve a deeper connection, better communication and healthier relationship on all levels.

The exceptional level of obedience you will learn makes pulling, lunging, barking and canine chaos becomes a distant memory as your companion walks calmly next to you instead of leading you on a wild adventure. Learning to patiently sit or down while staying in place allows for easy vacation road trips, quiet lunches on dog-friendly cafe patios, BBQs and holidays with family. Knowing that your best friend will come running to you when called, always, is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

I will personally guide you through the same methods of teaching home manners, safe management techniques and problem solving that I use with my own companions, proven to work wonders in a short amount of time.

Canine nutrition, health and wellness along with modalities designed to remove layered stress, release trauma from past experiences and regulate the nervous system are not only included, but essential. This program is especially important to help our companions start off on the right paw, prevent problems from developing, as well as for those that have missed critical early socialization and training periods. In addition, this program is invaluable to those companions looking to compete or have dreams of becoming a Service Dog.

Super Dog Maintenance

On-going classes

This group class is for graduates of our training programs and picks up right where you left off.  After completing your obedience course, give your super dog mental and physical stimulation with other dogs to maintain super status!

This maintenance class is taught in a group format and allows us to help you perfect communication between you and your companion, tighten up on-leash, off-leash and advanced obedience skills, as well as further develop your knowledge of dog behavior as well as proper canine social skills.

Each class is just a little different to keep things interesting and may include practicing variations of heel, sit, down, come, and stay with distractions on leash, off leash prep and practice, advanced obedience skills like sit and down in motion, drop on recall and pivots, as well as Conditioned Relaxation™, Name & Explain techniques, tricks and so much more! 

Pack to Basics™

On-going classes

This class allows every dog- from puppies (starting at 8 weeks of age), happy and outgoing dogs and even dogs that may have some reactive or aggressive social issues- time to relax and just be a dog. As one of only 6 trainers worldwide certified to run these socialization classes, Jen (and her happy, calm, relaxed and balanced dogs) will teach socially challenged canines how to be just like them. 

Pack to Basics™ is a revolutionary, comprehensive approach to canine socialization, specifically geared towards dogs with known socialization issues that might be excluded from other socialization venues. It includes everything from the initial evaluation to pre-training dogs before they can enter the social arena and preparing the questionable dogs to safely enter the classes.

By allowing dogs with difficulties getting along with other dogs to interact with the right kinds of dogs, they learn to control aggressive behavior and enjoy getting along with other dogs. The key to Pack to Basics is to use the dog's natural social behavior to reduce stress and fear, build confidence and language skills, allowing for many common behavior problems to slip away! 

Pack to Basics Socialization is available to anyone who has completed a training program with us. It’s our version of a dog park, but much, much safer!
