About Robert

Best Dog Training in Brooklyn & Staten Island!

Welcome. I and Robert Machi, your local Master Dog Trainer and Dog Behavioral Therapist and Winner of the 2006 Bark Busters Founders Award (1st U.S. trainer to ever receive that honor).

In August 2004, my life changed in a huge and amazing way when I joined the Bark Busters family! I have always loved dogs but never imagined I could have a career working with them. The Bark Busters training system is so unique. I love what I do and I consider myself lucky to have learned this method of teaching people how to communicate effectively with their pups. I have four dogs of my own – Pawlie, a five-year-old and 200-pound Great Dane, and 3 (yes, 3!) four-year-old Boston Terrier siblings named Gus, George, and Franki Girl.

Now starting my 19th year, I have helped so many families in our area to improve their canine companions' behavior, from a hyperactive Labrador puppy to a recently adopted Pitbull from a local dog shelter, to a stubborn 10-year-old Yorkie.

I have partnered with dog owners to train more than 2,000 dogs and their loving owners. I am recommended by more than 35 veterinary offices on Staten Island and Brooklyn.

Bark Busters - the worldwide leader of in-home dog training - can help you live a happier life together with your dog! Whether teaching good habits to your new puppy, or resolving long-time dog behavioral issues, I have many years of experience tackling issues large and small. With dog-friendly Methods, our training is humane and produces lifetime results.

Brooklyn & Staten Island Client Reviews

See what our clients have to say

Rob is great!!!!! My dog and I love him. He's very helpful and a great instructor. He is extremely knowledgable and I have seen a lot of improvements with my dog since I first started with him. He is always willing to work with my schedule as best as he can and he is always a phone call or text away. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED Rob to anybody looking for help with their dog(s).
Robert is a great trainer. There are general trainings tools found on the internet but Robert does an amazing job at taking into consideration your environment, your lifestyle and your puppies temperament to create a specialized training for your needs. He tries to hit all the goals you have. He’s very responsive and often checks in on you, although training absolutely requires your consistency, it’s super helpful to have someone hold you accountable as well. I have a mini Aussie Shepard who’s timid and shy, many typical training tools would not work for her, it was nice that Robert recognized this and steered me away from those that might actually have made behaviors much worse. Very happy I signed up for Bark Busters, it’s been the best decision : )
Today was eye-opening in terms of learning Benni's triggers and how to correctly address them

Rob was amazing with Shorsy. He taught us the wedding formula and made sure we knew it was on us to follow and make it happen. He made himself a resource and guide instead of a solution which will help us succeed.
