I know they say a dog is man’s best friend, but Charlie is our dog’s best friend. From day one, our pup took to Charlie, and I’m continuously amazed by how much he learns. We get so many compliments while out with our dog, and people don’t believe he’s only eight months old! We are so grateful to have Charlie in our lives!

This is our second dog and the first one that we have had a trainer for. Charlie is very gifted, he comes to our house to work with our dog and each week has the energy and patience not just for our dog but for my 4 children and their friends who are often over our house. Charlie teaches us and the kids how to handle the dog in different situations and makes sure that all of us including he kids are part of the lesson. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog or life training :) He is the best !!!

The treats that Charlie makes are just perfect for training. Madison notices their scent immediately and I get her full attention. It is so nice to know that there is nothing "weird" or fake in what I am giving her. She and I both look forward to the random treat box each month. The box itself is museum worthy and I love re-gifting with it. Thanks so much Charlie for all the thought and love you put in this work!!!!

We were so lucky to have met Charlie when we got our new puppy, Ray. Charlie is just so kind and knowledgeable and is always willing to help with him. Ray waits by the door for his walks with Charlie and cannot jump out of the car fast enough when we pull up to his house for a doggie play date. Charlie is a true professional and has been an instrumental part of Ray's life. I can't say enough wonderful things about him and his dedication to his pups.

Truthfully, I am not a fan of dog walkers/practitioners. They just want your business and inevitable end up dragging your poor mutt around town giving him little focus nor any of the seven others he/she have coddled together, as they check their Instagram and look incessantly bored by the whole exercise. Enter Charlie - Not only a deep lover of dogs, but somewhat of a Dog Whisperer who is fascinated what might Ali the dog (barking/scratching/apathy/hyper-activity/sadness). His walks are more than a walk - they are a friendship, a bonding and an assessment. Honestly - he should charge more, but please don’t tell him that... He has made our relationship with our dog and our kids/neighbors/local squirrels infinitely better. I will give you hard cash if you are not blown away by this young man, because he is truly one in a million - he never complains, always tries to fit you into his schedule at the last minute and has that beautiful English approach that tells you everything is “no problem”. You would be bloody lucky to have him caring for your pup. I promise you.

Seppi is delightful, loving and a bundle of energy but being a rescue puppy he's also a little nervous. After a couple of months he started lunging and barking at other dogs while on the leash. Walking him was just not much fun anymore. Charlie has given us the tools we need to work with Seppi and he is getting better every day. Going on a walk with him went from being stressful to being a real joy. Charlie clearly loves and understands dogs and is always thinking about the best way to approach problems that come up. There is nothing generic about his training. You can tell he actually spends time thinking about each dog that he works with and knows them well enough to quickly switch gears if something is not working well. He goes above and beyond what we pay him for. He's a natural.
