“Charlie has had an amazing impact on ours and our dog Rozzies lives. Rozzie is our rescue dog that we got when he was around 6 months old and he is almost coming up to 5 years old now.
We met with Charlie 2 years ago when we were struggling with Rozzies reactivity towards cars (see video), lack of food motivation and poor recall. We had met with a few trainers before to help us and had been told that chasing cars was in his nature and that we needed to be more dominant. We didn’t see any improvements, and really felt like bad dog owners, so we looked for more help and we finally met Charlie.
Charlie instantly put us at ease and has always been so supportive and caring teaching us what Rozzie really needs and how positive reinforcement is always the key. She was so calm, confident and patient with Rozzie until he learnt to trust her and then absolutely fell in love with her. Now whenever we see Charlie Rozzie squeaks with excitement!
Charlie was also instantly so in tune with his needs and identified a potential hidden medical condition (that our vets originally missed).”
“Charlie told us that the only other time she had met a dog that was so disinterested in food was when they were in pain, and she noticed he had an odd gait. It turns out he had hip displacia which we are now managing. This actually really helped him with his appetite and interest in food, which has made him much easier to work with.
Fast forward to now- we enjoy our lovely walks with Rozzie. He’s more interested in us than cars and always looks at us for a treat instead of reacting to the cars zooming past. We also have worked up to dropping the lead and letting him run between us while in the park. Most importantly we have a much happier and healthier Rozzie and we are so much more confident and understanding of his needs, that’s all thanks to Charlie.
We would highly recommend her approach and services to anyone, especially for those struggling with reactivity as she really can help! Our friends and family have already reached out for her help with their pups.
We are still going to keep seeing Charlie just to keep up our training and because Rozzie just enjoys seeing her so much!
Thanks again for really transforming our lives!”
