Get To Know Us

Hi, I'm Kristina, owner and head trainer at Free Spirit Hounds. With 28 years of experience in animal care, including dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals, I specialize in rare Japanese breeds like Kishu Ken, Akita Inu, and Shikoku Ken. As a breeder and enthusiast, I actively compete in conformation and various dog sports like Hog Baying, Barn Hunt, and Obedience. I'm also an AKC trainer with 10 years of experience, passionate about helping owners build strong, positive relationships with their dogs.

After COVID, my husband Jason joined as a full-time caretaker and trainer-in-training. Together, we focus on quality over quantity, keeping our daycare, boarding, and training groups small to ensure individualized care for each dog. At Free Spirit Hounds, we provide a calm, quiet environment where dogs can embrace their wild side while engaging in proper socialization, enrichment, and training.

What people are saying

Kristina is truly amazing. The unique combination of care, compassion, and knowledge. I first met her when I needed a medical board for a special-needs dog and all the fancy medical kennels had proven to be a disaster. I constantly had to pick my dog up for emergencies or shortly after I picked him up he developed an emergency. Once I started using Kristina, that was a thing of the past. She gave him the attention and the care that he needed. She is now taking care of my entire crew and I couldn’t be happier. She cares for and helps train my puppies. She gives my senior dogs the right environment. And she takes care of my kitties when I’m out of town. I trust her with their lives, and that says a lot.

So grateful to Kristina and her family. My pup loves going to spend the day with her and her pack and comes home happy and pooped every time! I also really appreciate how thoughtful she is about making sure that the pups she takes on are a good fit for the rest of the pack-which was super important to me when trying to find good socialization options for my little guy. Would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for puppy daycare options.

Kristina and her family are wonderful dog people. They took great care of our Siberian Husky and Pittbull-boxer. They have a huge backyard and fenced in kennel to provide for a wide range of dog needs. They are always quick to answer while you are away and send pictures. They go out of their way to provide a fun, safe environment for the dogs so they have a vacation too. Out of several sitters that were good, Kristina and her family are by far the best.
