Behaviour Consulting and Dog Training in Edmonton, St Albert, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Parkland County and area.
At Freedom Dog the priority is always a dogs (and humans) safety, well being, and emotional experience. All consultations include an integrated approach shaped by over a decade of experience, hands on training with extreme cases and thousands of consulting hours with dog guardians.
Eileen is one of only two Certified Dog Behaviour Consultants (IAABC) in Northern Alberta, one of five in all of Alberta. If you are seeking help for a dog struggling with a behaviour problem it is important to work with a professional qualified to assess them through multiple lenses, training is only one part of that puzzle.
Consultations are flexible for your lifestyle, inclusive and non-judgmental. Behaviour Plans are custom designed to be realistic and achievable for not only you but also your dog. The goal is to help you understand what your dog is trying to communicate, give them new, more desirable skills to request what they need and empower you to teach them.
Freedom Dog Promise: All consultations will prioritize your dog’s emotional and physical welfare over training/obedience.
Services
Pro-Active Packages for new puppies or adopted dogs. Instead of waiting to seek professional help after challenges arise, our Pro Active packages set you up to understand your unique dog and how you can start them off on the right paw. Encourage trust through safety and support, understand how your dog communicates, and build a relationship you will both enjoy.
Behaviour Consulting As one of Edmonton’s few certified Dog Behaviour Consultants we will go beyond just training. Starting with a deeper analysis of your dog’s needs, perspective and communication, helping you understand what they are seeking through their behaviour and then coaching you with how to support them. Conveniently meeting in your home or neighbourhood for private sessions.
Virtual Training COVID restrictions have brought Zoom dog training to the forefront but it has advantages. Being able to work with clients who may not be in our service area, but also setting you up to succeed with direct coaching while in the dogs normal environment. Also available for shorter follow up check ins.
“Eileen is the perfect mix of kind, understanding, and knowledgeable to support anyone’s dog training needs”
Eileen is the perfect mix of kind, understanding, and knowledgeable to support anyone’s dog training needs. Without any previous experience owning dogs, I adopted a 2 year old rescue dog who is amazing, but not without his challenges. Eileen has helped me understand how to meet his needs and set boundaries to allow successful co-living with a high drive, independent dog. Her house is a refuge where he can go to play with friends in a reliable and safe manner. Eileen is careful to incorporate our current training needs when he is there boarding (ex: leash training) and private training sessions with her have allowed me to move another dog into my home and build relationships with friend’s dogs as well. I would not be half the dog owner I am without her input and support over the last two years, and my dog’s life would certainly be less full without her and her dog crew.

“She has given us more confidence to train our puppy and eased our minds”
Freedom Dog was recommended to us through our SCARS foster for some help as first time pup owners. We are so thankful for this recommendation as Eileen is wonderful! We were a bit anxious as all puppy classes have been booked or closed, but 1:1 training turned out to be much more helpful! She focused on our concerns and gave helpful feedback for training our pup that we otherwise may have overlooked. She has been checking in with us ever since our first visit and has been sending us training videos/ tips to any issues we may be having during her own free time. Truly above and beyond our expectations. She has given us more confidence to train our puppy and eased our minds. Thank you Freedom Dog!

“I would highly recommend Freedom Dog Training & Behaviour!!”
We had a private training session with Freedom Dog and were very impressed. Eileen listened attentively to get to know us and our puppy and where we were at with training. She was observant and calm throughout our session, helping us to refine some of the training we had been doing and teaching us valuable new techniques and skills to work on with our puppy. She answered all of our questions and created an atmosphere of positivity and support throughout our session. She made herself available via email to answer any other questions that could come up and for the next few weeks, we received a weekly email from her to check in and see how things were going. We felt like she had us and our pup’s best interests at heart and that she really wanted us to succeed above all else. I would highly recommend Freedom Dog Training & Behaviour!!
