Meet Frank and Charli

Training animals has always been a second language to me. I have been working with horses and have had dogs running around the house. 

 

Our first dog in the house growing up was a big old German Shepheard names "Archie", that old man set the tone for me! From then on I was fortunate to have two Labrador retrievers that our family trained to be used as hunting dogs. I still remember throwing duck dummies for hours in the backyard as a kid with a whistle in my mouth!

​

Passionate. Patient. Persistent. Pet-lover. These are just a few of the characteristics that describe my style. I know each animal is different, and I’ll work with you to give them guidance that is tailored to their needs.

​

Now you must be thinking...

Black Beard? What is that all about?

​

Charli the Giant Schnauzer!

If you haven't noticed by now, between the hundreds of photos and the logo, Charli is a huge part of what we do here at BBK9. She is the catalyst that pushed me back into animal training. Charli and I are currently training to compete in IGP dog sport and we are scheduled to take our first trial together in December of 2021!
