In my initial call with Chaz, he said “Most people don’t call a dog trainer until things hit the fan.” That was the case for us after our 3 year old dog got into it with his 4 year old sister. They had lived together for years. Thankfully we were able to get an appointment set up with Chaz right away. Teddy has always been a bit stubborn and had to learn and relearn the rules. Chaz was able to help us learn, as owners, what mistakes we were making. We saw a huge change in our dog’s behavior within two sessions. We are so glad to be going to training at Dog’s best friend. We are on session number 8. Update: Teddy has graduated the 15 session course. He is a changed dog for the better. He and his sister are learning the rules around the house. Teddy has always had a bit of anxiety and the training has turned him into a more confident and comfortable dog. Thank you Chaz!

"Dog Best Friend exceeded my expectations! Chas is silly, extremely knowledgeable, fun, and makes training exciting. He didn't just help train our dog, Ozzy—he trained us, too! (Which I am sure was frustrating for him at times!) Learning how to handle Ozzy's excessive resource guarding has made a world of difference for our family and friends. I highly recommend Chas and would trust him with any dog for amazing, above-standard results." The Wilcox Family
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.
