CharlieBar Dog Boarding & Training

"Had a great session today with Ricardo. He came to our house to work 1:1 with our dog Baxter, a recent rescue with house guarding issues (including biting). Had an amazing session with Ricardo and saw results! Lots of training for us - he is gifted at seeing what the dog needs, and in training the people in how to communicate with the dog. Greatly appreciate the session!"

"I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for Ricardo and the team at CharlieBar. Our poodle mix Ruffles was always the sweetest with us, but he had bad aggression with other people. We were always afraid to have people over because they couldn’t interact with him. We started taking him to a popular daycare/training facility hoping it would help, but Ruffles wouldn’t improve. We had him scheduled for boarding and before our trip the daycare had told us Ruffles was not allowed back. The owner told my wife and I that he was essentially untrainable and the only option was medication. We called a local vet who told us that re-homing him wasn’t an option, and that putting him down might the most humane thing to do. Out of desperation a few days before our trip we came across CharlieBar online, and noticed he had an opening for a 2 week board and train that started right before our trip. Due to the overwhelming positive reviews we contacted Ricardo and had him booked. To my shock, within a few days of dropping him off, we were sent videos of our dog LETTING STRANGERS PET HIM IN PUBLIC. We couldn’t believe that this was the same dog we were told a week ago we should probably put down. We kept getting more and more updates on his improvement. When we picked him up, Ricardo took his time and explained to us everything Ruffles had been taught and how to handle him around new people. He also took us to a public spot to show us him interacting with strangers. We were left with the tools we needed to pass on what he learned those 2 weeks into our home. From that day on, our dog has been a completely different dog. He walks great, when we tell him to “place” he immediately goes into his spot. Now when new people come over, within a few hours of introduction, he’s running around with them in the park. Fast forward to this week and we boarded Ruffles for over a week with CharlieBar and we were at ease knowing he’s with people who know what they are doing. We got daily updates and we can’t wait for Ruffles to board with them again! Please, if you are looking for an incredible dog training facility, stop looking and use CharlieBar. Worth every penny."

"We boarded our 2 dogs for the first time for a few days and everything went great. They have opposite temperaments but they handled them well. We also got many updates and pictures from their stay. We'll definitely be using CharlieBar boarding again."
