Freedom Canine LLC is a dog training business owned and operated by Dante DiJirolanio and Hugh Tate, both experienced law enforcement K9 handlers. They offer reward-based, balanced training programs designed to help dogs become obedient and well-mannered companions. Their signature service is the Board and Train program, where dogs live with trainers in a home environment and receive daily training including field trips to parks, stores, and busy areas to build real-world obedience. They also offer overnight boarding, private lessons, and customize programs to address specific behavioral issues. Freedom Canine emphasizes humane, approachable methods that build the bond between dog and owner, with the goal of enabling off-leash freedom and stress-free outings. They train dogs of all ages and breeds, including seniors, and focus on recall, basic obedience, crate training, and environmental exposure.

In addition to training, they provide pet boarding services at their facility in New Cumberland, WV, with daily exercise and enrichment. Their trainers use food and toys as primary rewards, and offer an optional e-collar for advanced training. They guarantee a professional, family-oriented experience rooted in their own lifelong dog ownership and K9 expertise.
