Charles is a graduate of Syracuse University and has spent the majority of the past 20 years living and working in New England. After many years working in the corporate and higher education worlds, Charles transitioned into a new career working with dogs (and their people).

Charles has been working with dogs since 2010. Beginning in the Boston area, he worked and learned with many talented and respected trainers and behaviorists in the positive reinforcement community. While learning to become a trainer, he began a career as a dog walker to gain invaluable hands on experience with dogs. Charles has extensive walking experience in the Boston, Providence and Washington DC areas.

Over the years, Charles has continued to grow as a trainer and has worked with a vast array of behavioral issues. He even spent 2.5 years training rescue dogs to become service dogs for veterans. Charles is committed to continuing education and attends numerous workshops, conferences and seminars annually.

Along his path, Charles has had several dogs with extreme fearfulness (Jackson - his Australian Shepherd) and reactivity/aggression towards other dogs and people (Voodoo - his Belgian Malinois) that gives him a very unique hands on experience to help guide owners with their own journeys. His current dog Triton was in training for over a year to be a service dog. Zephyr, a Belgian Tervuren, joined the family 2 years ago and struggles with separation anxiety and extreme noise phobia issues.
