For many dog owners, this is the most practical way to get results. However, a large number of our clients are simply wanting what is the absolute best for their dog!
 
Our dog trainers specialize in relaxation exercises, conflict-free techniques, manners, obedience, dog rehabilitation and advanced behavior modification. We train using a motivational game style of learning that creates an optimistic dog that WANTS to engage with you. 
In addition, Chucktown Charley is unique! We are the only training and behavior retreat in our area that also offers boarding and daycare, as well.
