Ep. 18: Freed By Training: From Prison to Purpose
In this episode, I sit down with Mattison Skoog Simpson, founder of Freed by Training, to hear her remarkable story of resilience, redemption, and the healing power of dogs.
Mattison Skoog-Simpson is a multi-certified dog trainer and behavior consultant—and a firm believer in second chances. After learning to train dogs in a prison program, she now helps people build deep, lasting relationships with their complex or sensitive dogs through her business, Freed by Training. Her story is one of transformation, purpose, and the powerful connection between dogs and the people who love them.
This conversation is raw, inspiring, and deeply human. It’s about second chances, the resilience of the human (and canine) spirit, and how training can be a pathway to freedom — both inside and out.
