I recently had a fantastic experience with Carly and Bobby from Reward Calm and would highly recommend them! Carly, who was recommended by a friend at work, proved to be an amazing dog Psychologist and trainer. She is incredibly intuitive and even mentioned being trained by a shaman, which added an interesting perspective to her expertise. In our first 3 hour meeting, Carly took the time to explain the natural behaviors of dogs and how they function within their packs. Her hands-on approach in teaching my family and me how to embrace the energy, motion, and touch of a true pack leader was invaluable. She skillfully identified areas where I was unintentionally enabling my dog's behaviors, providing support and guidance on redirecting and resolving those issues. What impressed me the most was Carly's dedication and willingness to go the extra mile. She offered her support through text whenever needed, demonstrating her commitment to our dog's well-being. As a result of our positive experience, our family decided to send our puppy to imprint with their pack. The controlled environment provided by Reward Calm is key in setting up our puppy for long-term success. We received wonderful pictures of our puppy during his stay, showing him enjoying walks with the pack, training on a treadmill, and learning to sit in place on his cot. Seeing him play and interact with his new furry friends put our minds at ease. The care and attention provided by Carly, Bobby, at Reward Calm was exceptional. Our puppy had an absolute blast, and it was evident from the pictures that he was having a wonderful time. The experience provided him with not only a safe and nurturing environment but also valuable training and socialization opportunities. Based on our puppy’s happy experience and the outstanding service we received, I cannot speak highly enough of Carly and Bobby's professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for both dogs and their owners. Reward Calm is a top-notch service that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking effective dog training and guidance.

I have now worked with Carly twice with my mini Australian shepherd that was totally out of control when I would see other dogs After an hour and a half session with Carly, she had Grace 100% in check To be honest, when I got home, it was very challenging because we all know dogs act different for other people that are more calm and more experienced I continued to work with Grace, but felt she needed more work Grace was having a problem lashing out at other dogs when they would walk by. I couldn’t get her to walk by my side. I have a friend in my neighborhood that I couldn’t even talk to across the street because our dogs would both act out in a horrible manner Carly told me at my first training she would have our dogs walking together by the end of the session So I asked Carly to come up to my neighborhood I am still in utter shock, that by the end of the session, or before the session, me and my friend Amber, we’re walking our dogs side-by-side Me and Amber both know that this is going to take daily work with our dogs on our part We are both very committed dog owners to making this work We could have never even started to work on this without Carly’s help , experience and calmness with our dogs I would highly recommend Carly Thank you carly for giving me and amber the much needed tools to begin this difficult journey😊

I have a leash reactive dog who became unbearable and unsafe to take anywhere. After four sessions with another trainer I resigned myself to walks at odd hours and turning around whenever I saw another dog and basically keeping my dog as sheltered as possible in my home to avoid any triggers. Then along came Carly Trimble who changed our lives. Rather than a life of avoidance Carly taught us how to understand our dog so we could deal with new situations head on. She was able to take my dog for a walk and quickly show me it wasn’t my dog but me that as the problem. She taught our whole family the skills and confidence needed to take our dog out in the world again. I can walk with confidence and feel like I have the skills needed to safely introduce my dog to others. Unlike the last trainer who let us practice on a stuffed dog Carly helped us introduce Simon to her amazing pack. It didn’t take months or years of behavior modifications but minutes. I’m truly in awe of Karly’s understanding of dogs and will be forever grateful. In addition to helping with my own dog Carly supports a rescue where I volunteer. I’ve seen her in action with a variety of dog needs. In every case she and her partner draw on their amazing understanding of dog psychology to bring out the best in each dog and help overcome obstacles that brought the dog into rescue. Carly tells it like it is and is extremely effective. If you have a dog in need you need Carly and Reward Calm Dog Rescue.

As a rescue volunteer, I have been so impressed with Carly Trimble and Reward Calm Dog Rescue. Carly takes in many of our most difficult pups and gives them a new chance at life. Dogs are taken into her home and treated like family. Carly and Bobby have an incredible grasp of dog psychology that enables them to fully understand the dogs and their needs. Carly's support doesn't end with the pups in her care, but she fully trains and supports new adopters. I've been the lucky recipient of her training and am continually in awe of her knowledge, confidence and ability to support dogs and their humans.

Carly is very skilled, knowledgable, honest, and wonderful at evaluating and training dogs. She takes time to educate owners/adopters as well, which makes a huge difference in the dog's success. I had her work with a dog from our rescue who had been attacked by off leash dogs and was super leash reactive. Carly taught us how to be the calm, confident leader he needed and he is thriving. I highly recommend Carly.

Thank goodness for Carly! 🙏 Carly came to my house for two in-home training sessions to help with my rescue puppy, a Dobie Mix. Because I have another dog, a German Shepherd Mix, she helped train her as well since both dogs are in the same household and should be trained properly and for balance. With two visits, I have already seen a tremendous change, especially with my puppy who was my main target for Carly’s expertise. Waffles was pulling on the leash, barking, and was overly active. Carly knew exactly what to say and do with her. She is a dog ninja! Amazing! With the tools, tips and tricks she provided me during her visits and for when I’m on my own with my furry daughters, she has helped me to be successful in continuing her training and proper techniques. We’ve worked with other trainers in the past, and although they were good, Carly is GREAT and I prefer her style since she is calm, not aggressive with the dogs and doesn’t even need to say much to them for action to take place immediately. She knows a lot about dog psychology and has a keen sense of awareness for everything that’s going on when she arrives to your house thru the moment she leaves. I like how in the beginning of her visits, we sit down and talk for a while about the behavioral issues going on before we get into the physical and tactical training. I’m so thankful a neighbor told me about Carly and her company! She is now our go-to dog whisperer ❤️

Our experience with Carly and Reward Calm Dog Services far surpassed our expectations. Prior to training, our dog Remi had an abundance of energy, which we found challenging as she struggled with remaining calm and impulse control. However, after completing the month-long board and train program, Remi underwent a remarkable transformation and is a new dog! Carly's profound understanding of dog psychology and behavior, along with her personalized approach, sets her apart as a trainer. She skillfully tailored the program to address Remi's individual needs, targeting both her high energy levels and the impulse control challenges she faced. The results are astonishing. Remi's energy has become more balanced, and she has developed improved control and a greater sense of calmness. Additionally, she has learned essential commands that have further enhanced her behavior and obedience. One aspect that we truly appreciated about Carly's program was the opportunity for Remi to spend time with other dogs on a daily basis and experience a home environment. This immersive approach made the training even more applicable to real-life situations which we so appreciate. Throughout the training process, Carly demonstrated dedication and passion for her work. She created a positive and supportive environment that fostered growth for both Remi and us as owners. Carly's expertise in dog psychology, combined with her ability to establish a strong connection with dogs, is truly impressive. We are extremely satisfied with the results of Remi's training, and we highly recommend Carly to anyone in need of exceptional dog training.

We rescued a dog about a month ago. He came with "barking" issues, and we encountered some other unwanted behavior with him. The rescue put us in contact with Carly. We had one in-home session and the change in the energy in our home was palpable! Just overnight, he's a completely different dog. Time will tell as we work through his issues, but I have complete confidence in the tools that we were provided with will make our dog a very happy and calm dog.
