I'm glad i took the referal. Sheila is so professional and at the same time loving and caring. She takes the time to really listen to your needs and to get to know you and your dog. Tank love love loves his aunt Sheila. Even though it's been a few years since we've needed her services, when we saw her at the park a month ago, Tank was so happy to see his aunt Sheila. What I remember most is Sheila telling me - "I can train the dog and i can train you but if you Really want a fantastically trained and well behaved dog, that you have a incredible relationship with, YOU have to put the time in with your pet". I'll never forget that advice and because of Sheila's great gift of training people and dogs, Tank and I are the Best of friends for life. Thank you Sheila... Bill Drevyanko Chandler, Arizona

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.

Words cannot express how much I am grateful for Ricardo and his team taking our five dogs while we…read morewent out of state for Thanksgiving. 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)

I met Bryana about 5 years ago after I sought training for my first Belgian Malinois, and I have…read morenothing but great things to say about her training ability. She's worked with both my Malinois (who have VERY different personalities and abilities). She's helped me with everything from treadmill training, to riding along a bicycle, to keeping them away from my cat, to basic through advanced obedience. And LISTEN, this is REAL obedience training. I've taken my prior dogs through Petsmart courses, and passed their advanced class, but those trainers (most of them anyway) have no idea how to really train a dog, and their owner. I considered myself to have above-average knowledge with training dogs, but watching Bryana work with my dogs sure humbled me quite a bit. I just assumed my female Malinois would never pick up a focused heel, but within 5 minutes she was doing a perfect focused heel with Bryana. When I tried it, she'd slack off. So I realized I needed the training more than my dog. Bryana was not only there to help during training sessions, but she answered texts for little things as they came up outside of class. She can also handle herself around protection dogs. There was a scary incident where I was working my dogs with a decoy at the same time and the decoy was injured (due to a suit malfunction). In the chaos, I was unable to get both my dogs off. Bryana, who was just there to take pics, jumped in the training area and didn't hesitate to pull one of my dogs off while I pulled off the other. She knows how to read dogs' body language, and knew how do this without getting injured, and keeping the decoy safe from further injury. Oh, and one more thing, I had a terrible incident when my dogs escaped my yard. While I was driving around looking for them, I called to let her know and she immediately posted on our local Fido Alert (lost pets) FB page for me. Luckily, I found them less than an hour later, but it was thoughtful of her to help me out by getting their pics and info out there right away.

I can't say enough good things about Lindsey!…read more We recently brought home a rescue that I knew would be challenging but had no idea how hard she would be. She was food aggressive, she was aggressive with our family - bit all of us at least once - attacked our other two dogs and literally went to the bathroom wherever she preferred. I'm not one to give up on dogs but knew that if we kept her we needed help! We decided that if we were going to work with one of our dogs - we'd also work with our other naughty dog to retrain him of his bad habits. IN THE FIRST SESSION we saw significant changes in their behavior! She is so knowledgeable, so professional, and she got my kids involved so they know what to do! We just finished our last session and I'm so grateful to her for all of the tools she's given our family to help our dogs be the best behaved versions of themselves! We still have our homework, and they still have a ways to go but this experience has been so amazing! Thank you girl, love ya!!!

We moved away earlier this year and were so SO bummed to leave such a great training and caretaking provider. All of her team is prepared to deal with difficult dogs and help reinforce good behavior, so all of our lunchtime visits included built-in training for our little pups. The team also sent photo updates and left detailed report cards every single day without fail. Lindsey herself is such a boss when it comes to training and is so so patient and welcoming. All of her own dogs are super patient too and were incorporated into the training sessions to help our little pups get used to being around other dogs. We (pups included) miss Lindsey and TLDSH tremendously!

Katherine is a miracle worker! Our lives have changed for the better because of her training! I…read morestarted seeking help when my Pitt bit my 3 year old son on the cheek. My son jumped on him and it startled him and he reacted. It wasn't a super bad bite and Obviously it wasn't out of aggression but a bite is a bite and we knew we had to do something or I was going to have to get rid of our dog. Within 10 minutes of working with her I could feel the energy shift and suddenly this trust that was lacking formed and we had control as the owners again. After 7 weeks it's a completely new dynamic. Our dogs are still themselves but every bad habit is corrected. I had my garage door open and the door to our house open for 3 hours the other day and they both just sat there not once leaving the threshold. My 3 year old son can get them both in a down stay and they don't move until he tells them "OKAY!". If I could give her 1 million stars I would!
