Testimonials

“We sent our miniature schnauzer, Snowball, to Charlie Bar Dog Training while we were on vacation, and it was the best decision ever! She used to bark at people, had poor leash manners, and was reactive to the doorbell and strangers at home. After three weeks of ‘finishing school,’ she came back calm, confident, and easy to communicate with. Now we can take her to the farmers market, out to eat on patios, and even to the dog park without any issues. The trainers also taught our whole family how to keep up the training, which has made a huge difference. We’re so grateful for the team at Charlie Bar — highly recommend them!”

“OMG!!! We have 3 female pups… They were so unsocialized, anxious, and impulsive. After 1 too many dog fights – we found Charlie Bar!!! Godsend!!!! The hound and heeler spent 3 weeks with them- and came back different pups. My sweet hound is happy and playful again, and they are all getting along and following basic commands that are life-changers! I would not believe the change if I didn’t see it myself! I’m so grateful!!”

“We’ve now worked with Ricardo twice for our current puppy… Everything he taught us made an immediate difference. Our nine-month-old puppy is like night and day on the leash. So much calmer, more focused, and enjoyable to walk… He sends links to all the tools he recommends, making it incredibly easy to purchase and start using them right away.”
