We can't thank Ricardo and the entire team at CharlieBar enough! It's been a month since our…read more4-year-old rescue, Angus, completed his 3-week board and train--and we can confidently say we have a completely transformed dog. When we adopted Angus, an American Bulldog, he was extremely reactive, had zero impulse control, and was tough to manage. Walks were stressful--he would bark, lunge, and completely lose it around other dogs. Recall was non-existent, and previous trainers had little success with him. After his time at CharlieBar, everything changed. Angus now walks calmly on a leash, his reactivity has decreased by at least 90%, and he thrives during his daily training sessions at home. The most remarkable part of Ricardo's approach is that it goes beyond basic commands--he teaches dogs how to think, make decisions, and self-correct. It's not just about punishment or praise; it's about helping dogs understand their choices. With a simple "uh uh," Angus now stops, thinks, and chooses better behavior--without fear or confusion. We're beyond grateful for the results and highly recommend CharlieBar to anyone looking to make a lasting difference in their dog's behavior.

I was worried for a moment, leaving my dogs with someone new and especially finding someone to train them. Ricardo and everyone really put my mind at ease while I was in another state and getting those daily updates and seeing how much they've grown. They will definitely be back in the summer for more training as I feel like I have found someone that I can trust with my dogs. I know my dogs are very stubborn and scared of new people but they were very patient with them and really earn their trust. Thank you again guys again and will definitely see us again soon. Love Eddy, Mike and the chaos crew (the team nickname for them)

Joyce W. has been my pet sitter for four years and I feel so confident and calm about the care that…read moremy dog Georgie receives for his live-in service. I remember early on when I returned for something I forgot and I saw Joyce cuddling with Georgie on his bed, I knew we got a great person. I especially like that Joyce sends a photo each day and a little update! She is very dependable and leaves the house clean and as she found it. Joyce is more introverted by nature which is no concern since it's her care and attention to Georgie that I most value. I highly recommend Joyce. Julie as the owner is great and speedy with communication too! The intake form is super thorough which is good, though since so long, I find it more helpful to leave Joyce my personal notes (which are also pretty long!).

Heather watched over our kitten, Leo, for a few days this last week. Our experience with her was…read morephenomenal, and we will certainly use her services in the future! Heather is very particular about drop-offs and pick-ups. This is for a reason - the safety and security of your pet is her her main concern. Likewise, she doesn't allow you to wander through her boarding facility. This, again, is to ensure the safety and security of your pet. She takes the tremendous responsibility of caring for your pet VERY seriously! During the time Leo was with Heather, she took the time to text us on how he was doing. She even sent us a nice St. Patrick's day photo of him. These things helped put us at ease. We highly recommend H&H Pet Services. Your pet is safe there!

Since my first review I have acquired a couple of turtles and three hens! Heather didn't blink in eye. Jumped right in with a smile and a giggle at my menagerie and got right to work while I was on vacation last week. She had all of my 7 of my pets for 7 full days! In response to a previous review I would like to state unequivocally that I have NEVER had anyone be so accommodating and flexible with my pets and with such a great attitude. You want to see inflexible and unaccommodating try PetsMart! But that's a different review! I love Heather, absolutely love her and her Dog House. The dogs are carefully and thoughtfully placed in a full bedroom with others dogs of their own size and temperament. I never worry that they will be in harms way. Heather has encouraged me along the way to not make a big deal out of saying goodbye by explaining that it is harder on the DOGS and myself. She was right! They now hop right in the front door every-time. I would NEVER EVER trust my animals to anyone else other than Heather. We appreciate her very much! Thank you Heather!

They have gone Above & Beyond teaching us what is best for each of our individual dogs and helping us make sure they are well behaved but also Extremly Fulfilled! Our Dutch shepherd for example is a dog that many other trainers would never be able to handle and/ or would just resort to labeling him as difficult and likely lead us into more problems. But not with IBK9! They are teaching us how to be patient, fair, and effective with how to properly live with and raise a household of multiple powerful breed dogs and we are so grateful to them! Best money ever spent!

He was really inconsistent & made going on walks/ doing things in public so stressful. We started the reactivity program & not only did Jason teach me how to communicate with the leash, he taught me confidence in handling my dog. The difference is night & day! We can go on walks and even to farmers markets now! Before our training program I would have avoided places with a lot of dogs around. I can't say enough how much our lives have changed! Less stress & more walks & public outings! My only regret is not starting a program sooner! They also offer other fun classes to do with your dog! We took a scent work class which was super fun!

He helped to train Aussie, and set up an area in the house to contain the puppy. Scott is so knowledgeable about dogs, he came in and had an immediate impact on Aussie for the better.
