DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Walks leave me more drained than refreshed.
I avoid public spaces because I’m worried about how my dog will react.
I dream of exploring the outdoors with my dog but feel stuck managing their behavior.
I want to have more fun with my dog!
LET BAMK9 HELP YOU
Say Goodbye to Chaos, and Hello to Confidence

Learning how to communicate effectively with your dog will transform your relationship. Get ready to navigate challenges and celebrate successes together, while fortifying your connection.
Relationship
You'll experience the freedom and joy of having a well-trained, adventure-ready dog by your side, while embracing the ease of training as a lifestyle.

IS BAMK9 FOR YOU?
You’re ready to invest time and energy into your dog’s growth.
You’re looking for a quick fix without long-term commitment.
You want to build a strong, trusting bond with your dog.
You’re not open to learning new techniques or adjusting your approach.
You dream of worry-free adventures with a calm, confident dog.
You’re unwilling to address how your own habits or behaviors might impact your dog’s progress.
You want to develop your skills as a dog owner and connect with a supportive community.
You don't mind if your dog pulls or reacts.
“Charlie & his team are some of the best around. He has been such a tremendous help with your rescue “lab mix” (FYI…Charlie was the first to point out that most likely our “lab mix” wasn’t a lab at all & he was RIGHT!)
Charlie has been so patient, calm, and understanding with our boy. It’s been a welcome relief in the world of owning a misunderstood dog (aka reactive dog). I have, and will continue, to sing Charlie & his teams praises!”
- Tricia V.

Adventure Academy
Real-world training for balanced dogs
Adventure Academy focuses on teaching your dog to stay calm and engaged in real-world settings, while adding mental and physical enrichment to their day. By navigating real-world distraction in a small group setting, your dog will build confidence, and practicing basic obedience skills. Your dog will develop the skills needed for stress-free adventures by your side, wherever life takes you.
Structured learning in a group setting
Community Classes
Our community classes offer structured training for dogs of all ages and experience levels. We build foundational skills and strengthen advanced behaviors in a fun collaborative setting, focusing on areas like Basic Obedience, CGC (Canine Good Citizen), and Trick Dog. Hosted in beautiful Austin Texas, BAMK9 group classes provide accessible guidance for owners and mental enrichment for their dogs.
