“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!”

  • What tools do you use in training?
    We incorporate a variety of tools, such as slip leads, e-collars, prong collars, toys, and food rewards, depending on what best supports your dog’s learning. Our focus is on effective, ethical, and results-driven training.
  • What is the difference between Private Training, Group Classes, and Community Events?
    Private Training: One-on-one coaching tailored to your specific challenges, such as leash pulling, reactivity, or off-leash skills. Group Classes: Structured training focused on Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Trick Dog, and Basic Obedience skills in a supportive environment. Community Events: Donation-based classes, hikes, and pack walks designed to give owners a chance to practice training in a relaxed setting while connecting with others.
  • What if I have multiple dogs that need training?
    We can work with multiple dogs in both Private Training and Group Classes. If your dogs have very different training needs, we may recommend separate sessions for the best results.
  • Do you work with reactive dogs?
    Yes! We specialize in helping reactive dogs build confidence and learn how to navigate triggers. Our real-world approach helps dogs and owners handle distractions, other dogs, and unpredictable environments with ease.
  • What training methods do you use?
    We use a balanced training approach that focuses on clear communication, structure, and engagement. Every dog is different, so we customize our methods to fit their needs while ensuring they feel safe and motivated.
  • How long does training take?
    Training is a lifelong journey, but most owners see noticeable progress within the first few sessions. The timeline depends on consistency, the dog’s individual needs, and the owner’s commitment to practicing between sessions.
  • Do you offer off-leash training?
    Yes, we offer advanced off-leash training that focuses on reliable recall, engagement, and ensuring your dog is able to perform and engage with you in any environment.
  • How do I get started with BAMK9?
    Your first step is to book an Intro Session, where we assess your dog’s behavior, discuss your goals, and create a tailored training plan.
