Zen Den Board & Train Programs

Transform your dog’s behavior through our immersive 2-week Zen Den Board & Train programs. Your dog will live in a structured training environment where they receive daily hands-on training, consistency, and individualized attention designed to build lasting results, not just temporary obedience.

Choose the program that’s right for your dog:

  • Desensitization: Help your dog build confidence and learn to remain calm around everyday people, sounds, environments, and distractions

  • Foundation Obedience: Establish reliable everyday manners, leash skills, engagement, and essential obedience commands for a well-mannered companion

  • Mild Behavior Modification: Address common behavioral challenges such as jumping, pulling on leash, excessive barking, poor manners, and similar issues (this program is not designed for dogs with severe aggression or complex behavior cases).

    Because each dog receives individualized care, space is extremely limited.

Every Board & Train program includes:

  • 2 weeks of immersive, hands-on training

  • Daily structure and personalized training sessions

  • A customized training approach based on your dog’s needs

  • Three (3) private in-home follow-up sessions after your dog returns home to ensure a smooth transition and teach you how to maintain your dog’s new skills because training doesn’t end at pick up.

Program Requirements - Your dog must:

  • Be at least 6 months of age

  • Be current on all required vaccinations

  • Provide current vaccination records before drop-off

  • Be fully crate trained

  • Be fully potty trained

    Owner Supply List (responsible for providing):

    • Enough food for the entire stay

    • Food and water bowls

    • Favorite toys and/or appropriate chews

    • Fitted collar

    • Leash (no bungee or retractable)

    • Any tools needed for leash manners and walks (prong chains are ok; no martingales, choke chains)

Real World Obedience (RWO)

This is where training becomes real life.

Real World Obedience is designed to take everything you and your dog have learned inside the home and apply it in the environments that actually matter.

From busy storefronts to high-distraction public spaces, this program builds reliability, confidence, and control in the real world.

This is an ongoing, unlimited group training experience, giving you consistent exposure to new environments, distractions, and scenarios that challenge and strengthen your dog’s obedience.

Service Dog Training

Service Dog training is offered on a case-by-case basis and is reserved for clients who require task-trained assistance for a qualifying disability.

This is a highly structured and specialized program focused on developing dogs that can perform reliable, precise tasks in real-world environments.

Pure Freedom K9 provides training for:

  • Medical Alert & Response

  • Mobility Support

  • Psychiatric Service Tasks

    Our Approach

    Service Dogs are not pets with extra privileges; they are working animals trained to perform specific tasks that directly support their handler’s daily life.

    Because of this, our training process is:

    • Intentional

    • Detailed

    • Results-driven

    • Built for real-world reliability

    Not every dog is suited for this level of work, and not every situation qualifies for Service Dog training.

    Important Distinction

    We do not offer Emotional Support Animal (ESA) training.

    Service Dogs are:
    ✔ Task-trained
    ✔ Public-access trained
    ✔ Legally recognized under ADA guidelines

    Emotional Support Animals provide comfort, but do not require specialized training and do not have the same public access rights.

    Getting Started

    All Service Dog candidates must first demonstrate a strong foundation in:

    • Obedience

    • Leash manners

    • Focus and engagement

    Training begins with one of our core programs:
    Sit Stay Succeed or Bark & Bond Bootcamp

    From there, we evaluate the dog’s temperament, drive, and suitability before introducing task-specific training.

    Consultation Required

    Service Dog training is not a standard program and requires an initial consultation to determine:

    • Eligibility

    • Dog suitability

    • Appropriate training path

    If you believe your dog may be a candidate, please reach out to schedule a consultation.

Virtual Training is also available upon request (Google Meet/Skype/Zoom)

Virtual training clients receive a floating schedule. This means you won’t be locked into a day and time slot. Each week we will discuss a day and a time that works best for both the client and the trainer.
