Happy. Obedient. Dogs.
At Charlo dog training, it’s not about forcing dogs to comply.
It’s about teaching dogs they want to comply.
A happy dog who is poorly behaved is a headache,
A sad dog who is well behaved is a tragedy.
A happy dog who loves to do exactly as asked–that’s a Charlo dog.

"We had friends over one night and Bear was driving them so crazy that I was almost in tears by the time they left. After many similar experiences, we took the plunge and hired Charlo Training. 6 weeks into training we had those same friends over. Bear didn't charge them at the door, didn't bark, and was quiet and stayed on his bed while we had dinner. I love my doggy again!!! Thanks Charlo."

"We love Charlo! The best practical training to integrate dogs into your everday activities. Absolutely worth it. We get stopped all the time asking if our dog is a service animal!"

"Charlo gave us the tools to be able to reinforce the training our dog learned during the Launch program. Our stubborn dog wasn't responding to previous training, but after Chris and Sam got involved he's much more obedient!"

"Chris worked wonders with us and our dog! My only regret is not training sooner! My dog would become embarrassingly aggressive when she saw another dog. After training, there was a huge difference in us and our dog. Muffin waits for the next command and has a sense of comfort and security in knowing what the expectations are. People often come to our house and compliment our well behaved dog, and I think of Charlo Training every time."

"Chris and Sam are beyond amazing!! Our Redbone Coonhound, Rua, is a rescue with a ton of energy. After her 2 weeks with Chris and Sam, Rua changed her behavior so drastically it was hard to believe. Most importantly, it is obvious how much Rua loves Chris and Sam... there is no greater compliment to give than knowing your dog made such great strides while being loved in another home."

"Chris taught us how to communicate effectively with our young Great Dane so he wouldn't terrorize our guests and pull on the leash while walking. We're so happy with our well-behaved, giant family member, and our guests are much happier too!"

"Higgins started out with 1-1 lessons when he was 10-weeks old. We now enjoy going to group classes each weekend. A few favorites are the agility and scent work classes. Higgins has been going through some dog reactivity and the Charlo trainers have been with us each step of the way! I have not once felt like this was something I could not help Higgins through since I had such a good support system with the trainers. He has made a huge improvement and we could not have done it without Charlo!"

"Bentley started training with Charlo at eight weeks of age. We especially enjoy the group classes, including therapy work, heeling, place work, greetings manners, and going out and about. We have learned so much from the classes. The classes have helped us continue training and we now have a puppy that is fun in real world situations. We are so excited that Bentley has become a Charlo Elite at such a young age. We are grateful for Charlo and their amazing training staff!"

"I came across Charlo Training when I was looking for an affordable and local service dog trainer and I am so glad that I did! Jacqueline met with my teenage muppet for a demo session in a busy park with dogs, birds, and squirrels. I was worried that he would be too distracted for anything but Jacqueline was able to get and keep his attention to low key show me that she's a dog whisperer. As soon as the session ended, I signed him up for the board and train with service dog training. It was difficult to part with Ian, but the team made it so much easier by sending me tons of updates, videos, and pictures. Within a short period of time, Charlo was able to transform a wanna-be-rebellious teen into a well-behaved SDiT!
Charlo is truly dedicated to helping each dog (and owner) succeed and continue this life-long training process and it shows with their follow up. On drop off day, they spent over an hour with me to teach me and answer any questions I had. They also did two 1:1 sessions with me to ensure everything is going well and answer the million new questions I had. On top of they, they offer weekly group classes that are excellent for reinforcing and maintaining what Ian has learned in a high distraction environment.
I'm so grateful for all that Charlo has done for us and all the support they continue to give. Ian and I will miss the Charlo team and the group classes when we move, but we'll be sure to visit and join whenever we come back to visit!!!"

"Charlotte began her training with Charlo at 9 weeks old just two days after she and her sister, Cheyenne, came home from their breeder. Trainer Alicia came to our house giving us a crash course in puppy development. We began with biweekly classes in our home for Charlotte to learn basic commands. Then, at 17 weeks, she participated in Charlo's Launch Dog Training Program. While it is usually only a two week program, since she attended with her sister extra time was needed to work on the added training challenges siblings create. This board and train program was a game changer. This high drive pandemic puppy came back with many newly attained skills including but not limited to recall, place, and walking at a heal, in-step with her sister. We soon began group lessons that honed in her focus in high distraction environments, practiced agility drills, and even taught her how to fetch. In addition, we have watched and practiced many of the videos Charlo has available online to grow Charlotte's skills.

"Over the past two years, Berkeley has been on an incredible journey of personal growth and self-improvement, thanks to Charlo. His limitless energy and lack of discipline were addressed with the assistance of Jaqueline from Day 1. Charlo drilled the importance of fundamentals such as repetition, clear boundaries, and positive reinforcement combined with follow-through. Berkeley's progress has been astounding as he's advanced to off-leash with reliable recall, multiple tricks, and exemplary self-restraint. After a certain point, training has transitioned from a different activity to incorporating tasks into day-to-day routines. We're incredibly thankful for all that Charlo has done since joining their family. Their professionalism and commitment to excellence reflect great credit upon the Charlo family and their trainers."

"Remington was your typical farm puppy wanting to herd her children and needing to work. We didn't know what to do with her until we found Charlo. Now she works daily as our multipurpose service dog. We never knew the extent of things she was capable of. They are endless. She is happy, bright and aims to please. When you ask her if she wants to go to class to see Jacqueline or Alicia she runs to the door and patiently waits. Life wouldn't be the same without Remi or Charlo."

"While it was hard to send away our pup, Matrix, for Charlo's board and train program we haven't once regretted it. Watching him grow and learn, doing the same ourselves, and meeting so many great people and dogs along the way has been incredibly rewarding. Trainer Tristan remains one of Matrix's favorite people and it's always a treat when they're reunited! We also love boarding with Charlo, because we know our pup is in good hands - that he's able to further his training during his stays is an added bonus! Charlo has provided us with the tools to build an incredibly strong relationship with Matrix. We are so, so proud of him and all he has achieved in the last 10 months and are equally as thankful to Charlo for their help in fostering this."
