ACE Freework
Isn't Just A Fancy Word for Enrichment
You know positive reinforcement works but what about the dogs who just aren’t responding?
The ones too stressed to take food, too over-threshold to think, or too shut down to engage?
It’s not that your training is failing - it’s that the dog isn’t ready to learn.
Freework isn’t just enrichment; it’s the foundation that makes everything else you do work better.
By addressing posture, movement, sensory needs, and emotional state first, ACE Freework creates the right conditions for learning so your training takes hold faster, more reliably, and with fewer setbacks.
If you’ve ever felt stuck with a dog that “should” be progressing but isn’t, this is the missing piece you’ve been looking for.
Hi, I'm Jo Burton,
Australia’s first certified ACE Freework practitioner, trained directly by Sarah Fisher, the founder of ACE Freework.
Unlike overseas programs, I bring Freework to life in the real-world context of Australian dogs, environments, and clients, including assistance dogs and pet homes.
With years of experience working with reactive, anxious, and sensitive dogs, I’ve seen firsthand where trainers get ACE Freework wrong, and how to fix it.
My mission?
To help positive reinforcement trainers like you use ACE Freework as a game-changing tool that makes all your training more effective.
Whether your clients want fast results or struggle to see the value in “slow training,” I’ll show you how to make ACE Freework an essential part of your approach, with the ACE Freework Toolbox for Trainers.
