We can’t thank Ricardo and the entire team at CharlieBar enough! It’s been a month since our 4-year-old rescue, Angus, completed his 3-week board and train—and we can confidently say we have a completely transformed dog. When we adopted Angus, an American Bulldog, he was extremely reactive, had zero impulse control, and was tough to manage. Walks were stressful—he would bark, lunge, and completely lose it around other dogs. Recall was non-existent, and previous trainers had little success with him. After his time at CharlieBar, everything changed. Angus now walks calmly on a leash, his reactivity has decreased by at least 90%, and he thrives during his daily training sessions at home. The most remarkable part of Ricardo’s approach is that it goes beyond basic commands—he teaches dogs how to think, make decisions, and self-correct. It’s not just about punishment or praise; it’s about helping dogs understand their choices. With a simple “uh uh,” Angus now stops, thinks, and chooses better behavior—without fear or confusion. We’re beyond grateful for the results and highly recommend CharlieBar to anyone looking to make a lasting difference in their dog’s behavior.
We were feeling hopeless with our dog aggressive shepherd girl. Ricardo changed her life and ours. Highly recommend!
