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
See how we coach you and your dog for success.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN WITH BODY AND MIND K9
Leash Mastery
Say goodbye to pulling and lunging on walks. We’ll teach your dog to focus on you in a variety of environments, making every walk a more calm and enjoyable experience.
Confidence
Training is about more than obedience— it’s about creating trust. We'll teach you how to work as a team with your dog, building confidence on both ends of the leash.
Clear Communication
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!”
