About Freedom Found Dog Behavior & Training

<h2>Welfare-first behavior work in McHenry</h2>

<p>Freedom Found describes itself as offering "behavior support rooted in welfare, enrichment, and real-world skills" for "dogs with big feelings in McHenry County, Illinois." The site names four ways to work together: boarding, board and train, behavior services, and puppy prep. Its stated principles include the L.E.G.S. Model, a whole-dog approach, modern behavior science, and "enrichment and agency."</p>

<h3>Programs</h3>

<p>Boarding is described as behavior-informed with enrichment built into every day, with test nights required for new dogs. Board and train runs as two, three or four week programs, and the site is explicit that it takes "one board and train at a time," covering puppies, reactive and fearful dogs, and aggression and complex cases. Behavior services include a consultation the site calls The Deep Dive plus in-person coaching packages.</p>

<h3>Virtual support and published pricing</h3>

<p>Pro in Your Pocket is virtual behavior support available across the US in two published tiers: full support at $750 for four sessions plus ongoing text and call access, and lite support at $350 for text support and personalized homework.
