Is your dog having problems that keep you from enjoying the companionship and pleasure that a well-behaved pet should bring?

· Does your dog ignore you when you give him commands?
· Is he unruly or over-exuberant, jumping on you, your furniture, your guests?
· Does your dog bark at everything, continuing even when you tell him to stop?
· Are you upset because you can’t take your dog to the park anymore because he is unpredictable and potentially aggressive around other dogs?
· Are you worried because your dog has growled, snapped and maybe even bitten someone?
· Is he walking YOU on the leash instead of you walking him?
· Is your dog slowly destroying your home by chewing on your valued possessions, digging up your lawn and relieving himself inside?
· Do you have a new puppy that is driving you nuts and wearing you down?
· Are interested in helping your already good dog become a great dog?

We have a stubborn Cairn Terrier that we thought would be very difficult to work with. [With Bark Busters] we saw immediate results. We're happy to report that after several weeks, the "boys” continue to do quite well. Visitors are amazed when they come into the house. We are very happy that we called you. --– Joan P., Framingham, MA

Vicki was excellent! She put everything in simple terms and really wanted to help us be successful. I can’t believe the difference in Max. He seems like a different dog. We were afraid we were going to have to give him up but I think we’ll be able to really all get along now.  –Marcia M., Hudson, MA

It’s amazing how quickly the dogs have responded. The surprising result to us is that they are so much less anxious now that we have taken responsibility of the leader of the pack. We love the program! –Beth C., Acton, MA

Puppies: By training your puppy in the convenience and security of your home, we can get your puppy started at an earlier age, without the fear of exposing him to unknowns prior to completion of vaccinations. Using our gentle training methods, we can guide your puppy in the right direction, avoiding many of the problems he would otherwise develop. Remember…it's just as important for your dog to know what's right as to know what's wrong!

Vet Recommended: We work hard with our local veterinarians because we believe that you will realize the greatest benefits through a cooperative program that looks after your pets’ medical and behavioral issues.

Great program, very straight forward and intuitive.  –Dr. Andrea Moolenbeek, DVM, Natick Animal Clinic

On A Personal Note: Over the years, I have been honored to have and know several amazing dogs in my life. My current dog, Harry, makes me smile several times every day. Dogs are pure and honest creatures. I have found that if you treat them with kindness and respect, they are your friends for life, offering unconditional love, happiness and joy. I feel extremely fortunate to be able to be a part of Bark Busters so I can now help others experience the great pleasure of building a strong bond and relationship with their dog. “In a perfect world, every dog would have a home and every home would have a dog.”

Client Testimonials

Cody is feeling the effects of no longer leading the pack. An interesting dynamic is in effect and the whole family likes it! –Marianne.S., Stowe, MA (Labrador Retriever)

Vicki did a fantastic job of explaining the philosophy behind the training techniques. I was amazed at how quickly Hallie responded to the corrections and can’t believe that in one visit her bad behaviors have been put behind us. I am extremely pleased with the results and recommend the program without reservation. Thank you, Vicki! –Lisa B., Marlborough, MA (Labrador Retriever)

In a short period of time, we have seen tremendous improvement. Recognizing the dog psyche has helped us understand behavior. Bonnie is responding well to the “BAH” command and appears to “torment” Simon less. She is also learning to walk on leash quite well now. –Karen M., Shrewsbury, MA (Hound Mix)

The training was very informative and enlightening. We could see success almost immediately. Our dog, Max, responded in a very positive way and so did we. –Lynn H., Hudson, MA (German Shepherd)

Training with Peyton has been going well. She’s doing great with the inside stuff like jumping on people and being mouthy. She no longer starts nipping at our clothes or hand when we’re not getting ready quick enough. The outside stuff is better too. She walks a lot better on leash and is learning to correct herself when we BAH. –Deb H., Framingham, MA (Amstaff/Lab Mix)

Chance is like a different dog! Life is running much smoother for us now. We have been doing our homework and Chance responds well. If he does misbehave, one “BAH” and he is right back on track. –Joanna B., Hudson, MA (Hound/Beagle/Shepherd Mix)

So far the dogs are doing well. Very easy techniques that can be done anywhere…we don’t need treats all the time. We are especially please with the changes in Lola from the beginning of the lesson to the end. The dogs also settle down much faster now when one of us comes home or when someone comes to us. –Kate K., vet tech, Sudbury Animal Hospital (Weimeraners) 

This method of training is the best I have ever seen. The whole session was very educational. –Cathy S., Northborough, MA (Siberian Husky & Rottie/Coon Hound Mix)

Bode responded immediately to the training techniques. Vicki explained everything clearly and had us demonstrate to be sure we understood. Bark Busters is an excellent program. –Laura N., Westborough, MA (Goldendoodle)

I enjoyed the initial training session for our 12-week- old Maltese puppy. Good information on diet, play, grooming, potty-training, puppy-proofing, etc. Vicki is a great “people” person. We’re off to a great start! –Pat K., Carlisle, MA (Maltese)

Just a quick note to let you know how things are going with Bailey. We could not believe how quickly he responded to these techniques. I had the best walk ever with him this morning – slow at my pace with him right at my side and no pulling. It was great! –Jen M., Ashland, MA (Lab)

It has been 2 ½ hours since Vicki left and Bella hasn’t barked yet! That’s amazing since usually she barks at everything. –Diana Coffman, Westborough, MA (Beagle Mix)

Wow…we’re only into Day 2, but our home is bark free! Vicki took great care in addressing our issues and concerns and we feel very comfortable with using our new techniques and tools. We are very pleased with the results. Thank you Vicki! –Cindy B., Marlborough, MA (Chow Mix, Llaso Apsos & Mixed Breed)

Vicki was very thorough and she showed great enthusiasm in her job. Everything that she explained to me all made perfect sense. I have recommended Bark Busters to everyone! –Chris H., Staff, Slade Veterinary Hospital (Labrador Retrievers)

I’ve been to group puppy classes and not much worked. Thinking about the “pack,” how a mother dog would discipline her pups and how to be effective in your discipline has worked great. –Marjory L., Westborough, MA (Wheaton Terrier)

The Bark Busters method is fabulous! I adopted an eight-month old dog who had not had any training. Within an hour, he was obeying and behaving like he had been doing this for months. I can’t thank you enough!! –Tiffany S., Marlborough, MA (Lab/Shepherd Mix)

Jack is doing wonderfully. We have been leaving Jack on several occasions, and he has been great! Thank you again for your assistance, here's hoping we have a lifetime of good behavior. –Rachel P., Lawrence, MA (Boxer)

Really love this program and your guidance. –Anica R., Natick, MA (Labradoodle)
