Charlotte the Dog Trainer

Charlotte was wonderful with training my lab (and me). My lab mix did not adjust well to moving and became very anxious, at times aggressive and was relentless about trying to assert his dominance. He did a two week board and train with Charlotte and was like a completely dog when we picked him up and for the first time in awhile I felt comfortable being his pack leader. We are looking forward to attending classes for our continued training. We highly recommend Charlotte the dog trainer!

Not a good experience for us. On the first night, Charlotte told everyone that if they had any problems with her that the last chance to get a refund was that night--our first red flag. We didn't see why we would have any problems. My husband and I get along with everybody, and even though as far as personalities go, she was a little on the harsher side of the spectrum, it didn't worry us. The main problem with the class was that it was all about negative reinforcement for the dogs. We were the only couple in the class with a young puppy, and being so young, our dog just wasn't taking orders like the other dogs were. When we asked Charlotte for help, she told us that we needed to assert our dominance more and show her that we were the alpha. For example, when we asked Charlotte what to d

We just finished Charlotte's beginner class with our five-month-old puppy, and we have much more control over our dog.

In six weeks, you will learn the basic commands and principles of sit, stay, come, down, heel, and more. I can't recommend this class enough!

We were looking for a good trainer for our Rottweiler puppy and came across Charlotte's site. I really liked what she presented as her philosophy and approach to training. Since the pup was only 11 weeks old, he was too young to be in a class, but she had us come in for a single session to get us started until he is old enough to to go to group class. Charlotte is straightforward and down to earth. She gives lots of good information and tells you what you are doing wrong without making you feel like an idiot. She is holistic and recommended her own vet who also practices holistic/homeopathic medicine. She gave us a dvd covering what we went over in the lesson. Charlotte's prices are reasonable and she has access to foods and supplements through her business that you may not be able to fin

Charlotte tells you right off she loves dogs and trains people. She is knowledgeable and gives each dog/person in the class the individual help you need to be successful. She goes beyond sit/stay! Highly recommend!
