You deserve to enjoy your pup rather than be stressed out by them, whether you’re in Phoenix, Gilbert, Chandler, or Scottsdale, Arizona. Investing in your dog’s obedience training is essential, and you don’t want to waste your time and money with countless sessions that don’t deliver results. At CharlieBar we get it and our Dog Trainers are here to help!
Your dog should be your
Best Friend, not your reason to stress.
Let’s face it… yelling at your dog isn’t even close to what you dreamed of. It was
things like playing fetch, tons and tons of treats, and long walks into the sunset.
Don’t settle for anything less than the life you want with your pup.
Kati had adopted Appa a month before their private session from a shelter where he was an owner-surrender. Appa is a super sweet and affectionate dog but needed constant redirection to follow commands and was a strong leash puller as well as dog and people reactive.
Within 5 minutes of their private session, this smart and sweet guy caught on quick! He went from being a leash puller to understanding exactly where the boundary he should stay behind while walking is. Kati also was able to keep him focused even with other people and dogs around which was totally awesome.
LTA Rescue
For the past 4+ years our rescue organization has exclusively used Ricardo and his team at CharlieBar for all of our training needs. Ricardo has helped hundreds of our rescue dogs of all breeds and ages work past any and every issue you can think of at this point, from super fear dogs to incredibly impulsive to human and dog aggressive, and everything in between.
At any given time, we always have at least one dog in board + train at his facility, and we have always been confident they are receiving the best training and care, many with additional medical needs as well.
Beyond helping so many of our dogs, Ricardo has helped solve any and all issues for hundreds of our fosters and adopters, better equipping them with the knowledge and tools to properly work with [and ultimately keep] our dogs in their homes. We are constantly referring anyone looking for boarding or training to CharlieBar, and we constantly receive nothing but the best feedback on their experience, the care the dogs receive and the problems that Ricardo and his team are able to solve.
If you’re seeking any training help for your dog, we highly recommend Ricardo at CharlieBar Dog Training.
Cocoa
I have a bully type breed, approximate age 4 years old, who I had little control over particularly on a leash because she was reactive & had no manners. I had rescued her as a stray two years ago and although her behavior had improved over two years , there were certain things I just couldn’t tolerate anymore.
I used the board and train – Cocoa needed three weeks. She has been back one week now and through follow through on my part and consistency and her hard work… I LOVE my dog again. She has manners now and solidly understands “no.” I highly recommend them. Thank you for helping Cocoa and me!
Sam
We took our dog Sam to Rick shortly after adopting him. He needed help walking on a leash without pulling me and help containing his excitement when greeting other dogs. Our big fear was that he would get in a fight because his energy level was too high for the other dogs. Within 5 minutes of the first session, Sam was walking amazing on a leash and continues to do better with every practice session we do with him! I actually enjoy walking with him now. Our second session was even better. Sam was learning to not lunge at the passing dogs and that greetings are done calmly and are short lived. We are very much looking forward to our next session where we talked about finally getting him inside the dog park successfully with contained energy levels.
Rick sent us home with several tools for us to implement and use during Sam’s training at home with us. I highly recommend Rick!
Luke & Ollie
My fiancé and I each had our “own” dogs and mine was extremely dog aggressive. He would go nuts just at the sight of another dog in the distance. They spent 3 weeks together at the facility and have come so far together and with individual obedience. We were given detailed instructions on how to keep going with the training at home in order to have a smooth transition! They’re settling in at home nicely and I can believe the progress that was made in the time they were there!! The picture is their first night home, I’ll definitely update this review as we progress with the at home training! Would definitely recommend!
Update 6 months after training: Luke and Ollie are loving life together! They enjoy long walks or runs together, playing in the backyard or just snuggling in bed with mom and dad! We couldn’t have ever done this on our own and are so appreciative!!
Hugo
Ricardo and team were so great with our mister Hugo!!!! In two weeks he learned and mastered lots of commands (plus learned a new trick, spin!). In addition to basic commands, they were able to transform Hugo’s public behavior! His first public outing went SO smoothly, it was amazing! Overall, they were able to get our pup in a much more manageable spot in just two quick weeks. Customer service was great, we received awesome daily updates, videos/pictures showing his progress! Lastly, Ricardo took the time to teach us the proper commands and next steps in order for us keep Hugo’s training consistent, as well as providing home visits to ensure things are going smoothly! 10/10 for CharlieBar!
