Freedom K9 Academy

I’ve known Alyssa for over 10 years, and I can say without hesitation that she is truly next level when it comes to dog training. Her knowledge, dedication, and intuition with dogs is unmatched. This isn’t just something she does — it’s who she is. Bellatrix went from being a shy pup, who would do things in a passive dominant way, to confident. Everything she taught us is still effective today and the best part, even my kids understand it! More so, Bella listens to them, too! Her in-home training approach sets dogs (and owners) up for real, lasting success, and the transition into group sessions after graduation is incredibly thoughtful and effective. She meets every dog exactly where they are and builds them up with confidence, consistency, and care. What truly sets Alyssa apart is her

I am so excited for more classes with Freedom K9 Academy. Meat has started to relax finally and it's thanks to all the training and efforts with working with our dogs needs vs a textbook training plan. Between day trains, pack walks, and group sessions - we have been able to bring Meat out into the world to experience adventures and it's all because of the training we have done with Freedom K9 Academy. I cannot recommend them enough. After our obedience training on and off leash with Alyssa, we have expanded to Canine Good Citizen where we have been exposed to other trainers and cannot wait to do retrieval training next.

I cannot recommend Alyssa enough! We rescued Aries (our very stubborn husky puppy) in January of 2024, and just three weeks later found out we were pregnant. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and to be completely honest—Aries was the most challenging puppy I had ever met. We couldn’t touch him without him ferociously gnawing on our hands and arms, and there was no treat in the world that would get him to obey a single command. We were exhausted, overwhelmed, and honestly starting to wonder if we had made a mistake. But we were determined to get him well-mannered and safe before our baby arrived, so we reached out to Alyssa. Within just 8 weeks, our puppy went from a dog I feared was too much for us, to a dog I truly couldn’t imagine life without. It’s now January 2026—two years after

We had (and are still having) an amazing experience with Freedom K-9 Academy! Neither my husband nor I have ever had a pet before and decided on a whim to get an eight week old puppy. We had NO idea what we were doing and were very overwhelmed the first two months with this adorable and sweet, but very active little Bichon Frise we call Duffy. Our Vet told us about Alyssa at Freedom Academy and her rave reviews. We are truly ecstatic with the love, patience, gentleness and outstanding quality of training that Alyssa, Aryanna, Marissa and Andrea have given Duffy and us during the training sessions. I think of them as the dog whisperers. They explained everything very clearly and with so much patience as we confidently learned how to get him to sit, down, heel, stay, come, etc. I don'

First and foremost - Alyssa and her team at Freedom K9 are the best. For me, when adopting a dog, especially a rescue, there's always the underlying concern of nature and nurture - but choosing Alyssa and Freedom K9 Academy made all the difference for me. She and her team are knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly take the time to understand your dog, not just the behaviors. From the moment I met her and her team, I realized that she has built an incredible company with some of the most exceptional trainers - all of whom combine deep expertise with a relentless work ethic, compassion and strong personal values. As a father, I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family - and to me, my dog is a part of my family. What was great was that Alyssa and her team care
