My name is Adam York and I am the lead dog trainer / Owner of Live Free K9. I am originally from Plymouth, NH and now reside in beautiful Haverhill, NH. After spending over 20 years in the United States Marine Corps I wanted to return home and help as many dogs and owners as I can in the area that I grew up. I attended the Highland K9 Master Trainer course and graduated with honors. Now I want to take the balanced approach I learned to help you and your dog have the best life possible together.
Live Free K9 offers private lessons to help build a strong relationship between you and your dog. Live Free K9 specializes in behavior modification and understanding that every single dog is different and will require a different approach. If you have a dog that you have been told "Cant be trained" or "Needs to be put down" due to some issues the dog is having please send us an email at the address below and lets talk about how we can help
Basic obedience is for the dog that needs a bit of help walking on a leash, jumping when meeting new people, ignoring commands as just a few examples. This program focuses on building a proper bond between canine and handler and teaching people how to read their dog and understand what it needs.
Commands Learned (Sit, Stay, Recall, Down, Place and loose leash walking)
This program is 6 lessons total at a cost of $1000. Lessons will be conducted at your home and my training facility.
The behavior modification package is for owners who are dealing with fear, aggression and reactivity. This program goes in depth as to why your dog is acting that way and what you must do as a handler to ensure its successful in every situation.
This program is 7 lessons total at a cost of $1200. Lessons will be conducted at your home and my training facility.
The ultimate reward for any dog is off leash freedom. This package includes training with an electronic collar.
This package is 7 lessons and has a price of $1200.
(Your dog must be proficient in basic obedience before starting off leash training. I will conduct an obedience test during our initial consultation)
Late spring early summer 2025 we hope to have our training facility up and running. We will be offering a few different programs for scent detection and other training programs. If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call or text with any questions.
Training your dog can be frustrating to say the least. One thing I have learned working with hundreds of dogs is calmness and patience are the key to a successful training session. Remember, Dogs can smell cancer so they can absolutely detect if you're mad or stressed. Take a breath and keep working at it, It will happen.
Dogs have a very short attention span and trying to keep it can feel like an impossible task. When you bring your dog out to train, Make sure you keep the session fun and exciting for the dog. This will help them to pay attention to you and not the squirrel across the lawn. In dog training shorter sessions will often equal much more success.
Dogs want a leader and someone who will have their best interest in mind. Being that leader for your dog and always advocating for them will strenghten your bond more than anything else. Your dog should be looking at you for guidance and not trying to make decisions on their own. Having this level of focus from your dog will equal much more confidence and a calmer life for them.
