I have trained all of my dogs over the last 30 years with Chas. There is no one else in the business that can get the results that he gets with clients. My current dog is training to be a service dog and Chas holds me accountable for being consistent and staying positive with my training. I highly recommend!
We have 2 Labs, 8 years old, and 5 months old. We started going to Chas for training because our older had some behavior problems (pulling on walks, barking at people walking by the house, mostly). After getting our new puppy, we decided it was time to get serious about training.....starting off with the new puppy on the right foot, and getting the older to behave better. Well, it's been quite impressive what our dogs are like now compared to when we started, and we still have more lessons to go!Peaceful pull-free walks, following commands SO much better, counter surfing drastically reduced and almost gone! etc. Chas is truly an expert at training dogs, and when you put the work in, meaning you do EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS, you get results. Going to Dog's Best Friend has been the best decision we ever made with our dogs. Hands down, the BEST! Everything and every other method we've tried has been a waste of time. We 10000% recommend Chas if you are committed to seeing amazing behavior changes from your dog. It's hard work that takes patience and some time, but the results keep us motivated to keep going. Chas is seriously the best and worth your time and money.
We are beyond impressed with Chas at Dog’s Best Friend! He is a true dog behavioral expert. Chas has an amazing ability to connect with dogs and understand their individual needs. Our dog, who had a few behavioral challenges, has made incredible progress. His training methods are effective, simple and clear. He took the time to explain each step, and we always left each session feeling more confident and equipped to handle situations at home. Thanks to Chas, our dog is more obedient, focused, and happy. Our only regret is not finding Chas years ago for our other dogs or even earlier for this dog. Things would have been so different with my other dogs had we found him sooner. If you’re looking for a top-notch dog trainer who is not only skilled but also extremely passionate about helping dogs and owners, Chas at Dog’s Best Friend, is the one to go to. We highly recommend him!
We would be lost with out the training and support Chas has shown us. The guidance he provides and teachs if you do the steps and invest in learning and growing with your puppers you will be amazed at the results. We never thought they would be this well behaved...that our big girl that at the time of this post is 10 months and just shy of 90 pounds she was able to sit and watch not one but about 6 squirrels that day and I had her leash held with just two fingers. Our girls are just a few months apart and would get into some fights and caused some tension... But since the training we now know how to handle them and they have not fought since and get along better than ever. We now feel equipped to continue to grow with them...work with them...and have the tools we needed to do so thanks to Chas. We know training is every day and life long commitment and if we make it fun and positive and reward then with praise they know that is what it is all about and strive for. We have said it is worth ever shiny penny we spent to have some well behaved girls and hearing it when we are out reinforce all the good we have done with and for them. Chas was the only trainer we could find willing to take us on with our one dog have social anxiety and huge separation anxiety. Most when we were calling did not want to touch her or said they were not equipped to deal with that kind of issue. Now I have a pup that will willing go sniff people and is not so scared. We can't praise Dogs Best Friend and Chas enough for all he has done for us!
I rescued my dog 3 years ago and she was abused by a man and attacked by a dog when I took her for puppy training. Because of these situations she became very reactive to everyone and everything and it only got worse. I brought her to Chas a couple months ago and as soon as we walked in she was growling at him and had very very low confidence. Over the time of our sessions Chas has given so much advice and answered every question of mine. Last week I was able to take her to pet palooza with no negative contact dog interactions and today at our last session she was completely off leash and unfazed by Chas walking around. This is a complete 180 from the dog I brought it and I am just so happy to be on the right track to helping her gain confidence and not be reactive or aggressive! Couldn’t have done it without Chas!
