About this program
What they say about themselves
Jen Freilich, the owner and head trainer at At the end of your leash!, brings over 35 years of experience to her Riverside facility. According to her website, she holds an IACP-CDT credential and is one of only six trainers worldwide certified in Pack to Basics socialization—a program designed for dogs who struggle in typical daycare or dog park environments. Her background spans puppy raising, service and therapy dog preparation, aggression rehabilitation, and animal acting.
The business takes what they describe as a holistic approach, combining obedience training with canine wellness services including nutrition consulting, iridology, and homeopathy. Their site states that training addresses "the whole dog" through relationship-building rather than isolated commands. For off-leash work, they use a trademarked method called ForceFree that incorporates e-collar training, which they characterize as instinct-based rather than correction-based.
Programs run from group classes held weekend mornings at their facility (called "Superhero Headquarters") to board-and-train stays and private lessons. They offer specialized tracks for reactive or aggressive dogs, including one called "The Villain" that combines behavior modification with wellness and obedience components. Their site claims other professional trainers across the country refer difficult cases to Jen, and they advertise lifetime support after program completion.
What does At the end of your leash! Dog Training & Wellness charge for board and train?
Private lessons, group classes, and board-and-train programs cover everything from basic obedience to aggression cases. At the end of your leash! Dog Training & Wellness offers a dedicated reactive/aggressive dog program, off-leash training for graduates, and two- or three-week board-and-train options. Several programs include lifetime support and follow-up sessions.
Group classes start at $299 for six weeks, with the off-leash group course at $899. Private training runs $1,295 to $4,999 depending on focus and duration, while board-and-train is $2,695 for two weeks or $3,695 for three. All prices are published upfront on the site.
