Testimonials
“I have had and continue to have such a wonderful experience with Chucktown Charley and Well Mannered Dog. As a first-time dog owner, I needed all the help I could get. I have seen a huge difference in Sophie’s confidence and I’m so proud of the progress she’s made. I love that the approach to training is rewarding positive behaviors and not punishment. I cannot say enough good things about their training methods!”
– Nicole J & Sophie
“The training my dog received is incredible! So worth the investment! The one-on-one trainings they did with me after they had trained my dog were so helpful. I can easily apply what I learned to anything I need to further train my dog on. I now have a high energy but very well trained Vizsla that I adore and can take with me anywhere: outside restaurants, parks, in the boat, and the beach!”
– Katherine V & Lexi
“They didn’t just train our dog, they trained _us_ to understand her. The trainers are knowledgeable, compassionate, and completely committed to our success. The reward and motivation-based training program was exactly the style of training we wanted for our puppy!”
– Florence F & Sophie
