Testimonials
“I cannot recommend Jessica enough!! My dog was struggling with reactivity, leash manners, and strangers. Jessica took the time to hear my concerns, educate me, and educate my dog. I understood everything we did, every step of the way, because of her. The information, resources, and homework she provides is so thorough and helpful… I no longer shy away from walk time!”
– Client
“Our shepherd-husky mix was sweet but a hot mess before we started working with Jessica… After completing the training sessions, our dog has become the dog we always wanted. The change felt miraculous.”
– Client
“Jess is amazing!!! We decided to get a very excited German short hair pointer puppy… Skye spent 3 weeks with Jess, and she’s a brand new puppy! Jess has given us skills to enjoy our puppy and include her in our day to day activities and outings and that’s priceless!!”

About the Trainer
Freedom K9 Training is a Central Virginia-based dog training business led by Jessica, offering balanced training programs designed to create calm, obedient, and well-behaved dogs through structure, clear communication, and lifelong support. They specialize in behavior modification for aggression, fear, separation anxiety, reactivity, and resource guarding, as well as foundational and advanced obedience training for dogs 6 months and older, including puppy training starting at 8 weeks. Their unique approach combines positive reinforcement with corrective tools like e-collars, prong collars, and long lines to build reliable off-leash control and impulse management. A key advantage is their lifetime training support, including home visits, email/phone/video messaging, monthly alumni pack walks, and access to group classes. They emphasize empowering owners with the skills to lead their dogs confidently in real-world environments.
They serve pet owners across Richmond, Henrico, Mechanicsville, Chesterfield, Powhatan, and surrounding areas, offering in-home private training, group classes, and intensive programs tailored to each dog’s needs. Their philosophy centers on “Structure = Freedom,” helping dogs earn inclusion in family life through boundaries and fulfillment.
Jessica is licensed, bonded, and insured, and provides a free 20-minute discovery call followed by a no-obligation in-home consultation to customize a training plan.
They also offer free resources including training videos, blogs, and PDF guides to support ongoing learning.
The business does not offer grooming, boarding, walking, or pet supply services.
Their training is not focused on competition, therapy, or service dog work, but on family-friendly obedience and behavior correction.
