Raising Dog: Training & Tricks 4+

As a 37-year-old nurse from Michigan juggling a demanding job and the responsibilities of being a divorced parent to three energetic kids, finding time to train my new puppy was looking near to impossible. That was until I stumbled upon Charlie. This app has been a game-changer for my chaotic routine.

The user-friendly interface was easy to navigate, which is perfect for someone like me who isn’t very tech-savvy. The lessons are structured in a way that allowed me to squeeze in training sessions during my short breaks or while waiting for my kids at their activities. The video tutorials are clear, concise, and professional, making the training process straightforward and enjoyable both for me and my furry companion.

What I appreciate the most is the progress tracking feature which allowed me to monitor my pup’s improvement over time. This was encouraging and kept me motivated to stick with the training amidst my hectic schedule. Also, being able to connect with a community of other dog owners through the app provided a sense of support and shared experiences which I found invaluable.

Moreover, the customer support was prompt and courteous whenever I had questions or needed assistance. The app also offered a variety of training programs which catered to different behavioral issues and obedience training, making it a versatile tool for dog owners at

I cannot rate the app yet or the quality of the content but what I will say is that I purchased the book-app bundle for a cyber Monday sale and am under the impression that the personalization quiz is simply a marketing tactic to make the material sound more appealing… it sounded appealing to me, at least, compared to other programs I have come across. Anyway, I feel misled because I have no reason to believe that the book is personalized to me and my pup, aside from our names on the title page, because the content inside includes everything, including things that I indicated in the quiz that were irrelevant to us. So, I’m disappointed that I fell for that marketing scheme, but am hopeful that it will be helpful information anyway (and hopefully goes beyond what is common training knowledge) and that I get my moneys worth out of the bundle. I do think it’ll be fun and helpful to document my pup’s daily details of progress and such, helpful in staying accountable and proactive.

Overall the product is pretty good. However the subscription model and terms and conditions (T&Cs) are very shady. There is no way to view and manage your subscription. You’ll find out you are still subscribed after another $54 charge on your credit card. There is no way to view if you are subscribed or not. Once you realize the credit card charge, it’s too late. You will have to email customer service to request cancellation. They will take 7 days to respond and they will defer to their Terms and Conditions once you request a refund. I would steer clear of the app and just go with the book. Good luck.
