I First met Charlotte here in Australia when we got together for a Susan Garrett H360 workshop. We had never met each other before but she stayed with Brent and I and our dogs for nearly a week. Her passion and joy for training people and animals goes beyond words for me. I learned so much from Charlotte while she was with us, that it enticed me to become an online student with Dynamic K9’s.
The patience she has in teaching and being able to pin point exactly what it is you need help with is amazing.
All my dogs and I love and value her friendship, professionalism and admire her ability as a dog trainer and an excellent agility competitor.
Thank you Charlotte xxxxxx

Charlotte was with me every step of the way on my journey to making up my first agility champion. Her ability to read, work with, support, inspire and motivate a range of different handlers and a range of different dogs sets her apart from most other trainers. Whatever your individual goals are, Charlotte can help you attain them. This includes: fitness, jump skills, course handling, crate games. I am an ordinary not very athletic handler who enjoys agility and that Charlotte can raise me and my big dog to champion standard proves she can train anyone!

I have learnt so much since I have started having lessons with Charlotte, she works to every dogs different styles and if something isn't working out figures out a way that works for both handler and dog. She's so inspiring even during the times between lessons giving advice when you are stuck on homework. She's had me in tears of joy and awe twice in my lessons and now I will take tissues with me just incase lol. A truly amazing dog and handler instructor who has your best interests at heart.

Charlotte has been helping me with my manic heading dog Minx, and more recently a young lurcher Quick for some time now. I’m not young, slim, fit or fast but both of my dogs have speed to burn. This makes Charlotte’s task more difficult, but she is always able to make the training sessions fun and informative, always with the dogs’ welfare as top priority. I come away inspired to keep trying to improve my skills, the dogs learn a lot and we are always mentally and physically tired. When we have new skills to develop e.g. contact equipment, Charlotte takes it step by step and the end result is a dog who understands the skill, and a handler who knows how to maintain the criteria for that skill. That takes skill and patience on Charlotte’s part as I am not the ideal person to participate in agility but get a huge buzz out of achieving a round that proves the dog is enjoying him or herself and understands what they are being asked to do. Not necessarily a clear round; just an improvement on some aspect of it.

I cannot recommend Charlotte highly enough – we have a very fast, powerful dog, and her ability to assess what is happening between both us (as handlers) and him, in the instance it is happening, is incredible. She can see, identify, and isolate, the exact issues in the partnership, then immediately (seemingly without effort) instruct positive training for both us, and our dog, to learn & achieve. I am delighted that Charlotte is closer to us geographically, so we can access this immense knowledge & skill on a more regular basis. We are truly grateful, & have both found a joy in training, & handling,I don’t think we have experienced previously.

I have always found Charlotte to be an inspired trainer who delights in our ability to learn. She has always been creative in finding solutions to any problems that present themselves which, in turn, gives me confidence and a happy dog. Charlotte has helped me in numerous ways and I value her skills - be it agility training, canine fitness or general life manners. I am truly grateful

I first started training with Charlotte just over a year ago. At that stage I was lost and confused with my handling and starting not to enjoy competing. I look back now and thank my lucky stars I found Charlotte. Wow what a journey the last year has been! I have learnt so much, achieved so much and have found true joy in training and handling again.
What makes Charlotte the best?
- She understands YOU and your fur friend(s).
- Is genuine and cares!
- Wants you and your dogs to achieve and is thrilled when you do.
- Wants and trains you to be up there competing with her.
- Gives from the heart, over whelming encouragement.
- Truly believes in YOU!
Charlotte you ROCK! Thank you, thank you! May our journey continue!

I've been training with Charlotte for two or three years now, and during that time have made radical changes to my handling style, and taught a bunch of new things to my dogs.
These changes have taken me from looking at a Senior/A Jumpers course, and thinking “how on earth am I going to do that? No way can I get over there to handle that...” to looking at that same course, and simply picking which handling move is right for that spot. Their turns have tightened out of all recognition, and speed increased because they're more sure of where they're going next.
These days my dogs (usually) know exactly what I am asking of them, and I can leave them to get on and do it while I leg it to the next spot I need to be. Those “oh my gosh” courses are now, “That looks like fun” courses.
Oh yes, and my boy Dice, has gone from one CC per year in the previous 3 years, to 3 by 1 April this year! That's quite an improvement.
Thanks Charlotte.
