Walking with a certified trainer makes all the difference. A professional trainer brings a deep understanding of dog behavior and body language, ensuring a safer, more effective experience. We also reinforce your dog’s training during walks, helping maintain and build on the hard work you’ve already put in.

Walking

30 Minute Private Lessons: $60
One-on-one training sessions tailored to your dog’s unique needs and your goals. We focus on shorter, more effective sessions because dogs have limited attention spans. This approach maximizes your dog’s progress while saving you time and money.

Day Training: $135 per day
Our day training program is like daycare with a purpose! You drop off your dog each day for focused training sessions and pick them up after they’ve worked hard on their skills. This method is more effective than traditional board-and-train programs because you stay involved in the process. At the end of each week, you’ll have a lesson to learn how to apply the skills your dog has been working on, ensuring you and your dog grow together.

Every dog and person relationship is unique. That’s why our training is tailored to fit your specific needs and goals. We work with you to understand your dog’s personality, behaviors, and challenges, creating a plan that helps both of you learn and grow together. Whether it’s private lessons or day training, our approach focuses on building a strong, positive bond between you and your dog.

"We adopted our 8th dog this past year... his full history was not fully disclosed. After we realized all we were dealing with, and we weren't newbies, a vet tech recommended Charli. I can't say enough good about them. They have seen us through some incredibly rough times, including times where we honestly thought we were going to have to surrender the dog. They were so incredibly understanding and supportive of our situation and always had something new to try, or, just might remind us of things we might not be seeing.They'd be great with a less challenging dog, but they're so, so great with one that is. We are now at a place where we're happy to have our pooch. It has been a lot of work, but having their support and wisdom has been priceless. They were the calm in the storm that we often needed during this. It sounds hyperbolic, but seriously, the fact that we are where we are today is due to their direction. They're also a great person, so having them show up once a week was the icing on the cake."

"We've been working with Charli to help our resident dog of 7 years adjust to his new canine sister (he was not too pleased that we added a new dog to the family), as well as to improve how we communicate our expectations to both of them. She has been nothing but supportive, reassuring, and above all, knowledgeable and helpful as we work on getting both dogs to feel comfortable and happy together. In just a couple months, we've already seen our resident dog's behavior improve through working on the skills Charli has taught us all. We're so grateful to Charli for everything she has done to help us make these strides - she is amazing, and if you have the chance to work with her, don't pass it up!"

"Charli’s undeniable love for dogs is evident through the way she trains them. Absolutely amazing & would recommend to everyone. She turned my crazy mastiff/cane corso mix into the most well behaved dog ever!!!"

- Julia Bardzil & Duke

"Charli is an absolutely amazing trainer! We rescued a large, rambunctious and ill mannered Labradoodle. With her great insights and practical lessons, she is becoming a comer family dog. The most important thing she does is to teach us how to be good leaders for him. She’s smart, friendly, reliable, and great to work with. Highest recommendation."

- Barry Bradford & Ace

"Charli has been so incredible with my dog. He was so over excited and couldn’t listen when there were distractions around, and she completely fixed this issue. She also helped us with his off leash obedience so we can take him to the dog park and not worry about him coming back or not. I can’t thank her enough!!"

- Abby Gunther & Bean

"Charli is the best!! My 7 month old Sheepadoodle puppy spent two weeks working with her and came home making extreme progress each day. For the first week Charli boarded my pup while I was out of town. Being a first time dog owner, I never once worried about her since I knew she was in great hands and I received daily updates! From being a car chasing, jumping, and selective hearing puppy, to walking beautifully on a leash without chasing cars and listening to my commands… I give kudos to Charli for it all!"

- Perri Munic & Quinn

"Charli is a fantastic trainer! She's truly cares and is passionate about dog training. You can going count on her to take an approach that suits the individual dog in front of her every time."
