G’day! You have made the first step towards “Happy Dogs = Happy Families!” We are pet owners located in Southern Connecticut who have loved pets since we were “kids.” As owners for well over twenty-five years, our pets have always been special family members who bring joy and happiness to our home and those around them. On a personal note, Richard has a bachelor’s degree in Information Systems and a master’s degree in Business. He has held a variety of management positions in a public utility company and most recently as the vice president and chief operating officer for a non-profit senior housing community. Based on his experiences, Richard looks forward to using his effective communication and people skills to further improve the bond between dogs and their owners. Vicki has a bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy and has been working with school aged children for over twenty years. As a therapist in the school system, Vicki is excited to be able to utilize her skills and patience to improve the relationship between people and their dogs. So why the change? For some time, we had contemplated opening our own business. We did extensive research and investigated several service-oriented businesses. It was suggested that we consider an opportunity which allowed us to help people deal with their pets and do something that we would find both gratifying and rewarding. We were very impressed by Bark Busters’ commitment to providing quality holistic training techniques; their unparalleled customer service and the life of the dog guarantee. Our mission is to provide the means for all “family members” to live “peacefully” together. This will be accomplished through providing the appropriate resources that promote happiness, mutual respect, love, and quality of life for all members of the family.

Bark Busters…any dog, any age, any issue!

Training is simple to understand and the techniques work. We thought we should be able to do training on our own, but we can't - we need Richard! --Heidi and Eric, West Haven, CT

I would recommend Bark Busters to everyone because it does work! I have already seen a difference in Toby’s behavior. --Ashley and Shane, Seymour, CT

Thanks for the visit and training help the other day. Already Maxie is a better-behaved dog. I have had several opportunities to use the training tools inside and outside. The oil delivery man came today and I stood out there and used the water bottle with her. She, for the most part, stayed in the stay position, even when the truck was leaving. She wasn't allowed to show any aggression, jumping, etc. I am more confident that she will get better now. Thanks again! --Lainie, Middlebury, CT

Excellent service and value. --Lee Lipsitz, DVM, Milford, CT

The ability of the trainers to communicate the training methods to an Asperger’s child was remarkable. --Patricia and Brian, Bethany, CT

I feel that Bark Busters has made me feel more confident when working with my dog. -- Rachel and Brian, Naugatuck, CT

We felt the results were noticeable right from the start. --Dawn and Craig, Hamden, CT

Richard was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and skillful. I am so hopeful that Isabella will be a healthy, well-adjusted dog with his help! --Kathy and Art, West Haven, CT

I took Ginger to the beach today and practiced leash walking and even incorporated distractions (dogs, birds, children). It really was a world of a difference with her new collar and the tools that you taught me. I know this is only day 1, but I was thrilled! --Holly, Nantucket, MA

Immediate results. Good follow-up materials. Richard and Vicki were very knowledgeable and friendly. Look forward to their return. --Carol and Mike, Southbury, CT

After only 2 sessions I feel like I have learned a lot. It’s very rewarding to see my dog making progress. I also like how treats are not used in the training. --Kristen, New Haven, CT

Miss Lilly Mae is doing fabulous! Her overall behavior is much improved. She comes and that has been a wonderful change. She stopped jumping up on us at dinner/meal times almost immediately after you left. She barks much less. It is just amazing! Thank you. --Michelle, Hamden, CT

Richard and Vicki were extremely professional and skilled at teaching the techniques. The method is so easy to learn – we look forward to practicing with our new puppies. Richard and Vicki were very patient in coaching us along – it is clear they have a lot of concern for dogs and making the relationship between pet and owner a happy one! --Emily and Ethan

We found the training to be interesting, enjoyable and very productive. It was amazing how much was accomplished during our first session. We would absolutely recommend Bark Busters to our friends and neighbors and look to our future with great anticipation of unity in our home.--Deloris and Jerry, Orange, CT

I think we learned just as much as the dogs. We would recommend Bark Busters because of the knowledge of the trainers; it is easy to understand, very informative, and excellent follow through.--Victoria and John, West Haven, CT

Our Remi responded to the training method. It was great seeing her respond so well. We enjoyed being a part of the training. Many training techniques involve the trainer doing all the work. With Richard and Vicki, you are directly involved which we believe will help the training stick.--Kim and Marty, Bethany, CT

Yes, yes, yes...I did observe noticeable results by the end of the training. I would recommend Bark Busters. Richard and Vicki are very down to earth and professional.--Anthony, West Haven, CT

We’re very excited about Bark Busters training. Thank you! --Jill and Aaron, Woodbury, CT

Dog responded better than we expected. --Roy and Sheila, Prospect, CT

My parents and I wanted to tell you how pleased we were with meeting you both and learning what you taught today. Even my father, who heard less than one-third of your lesson, was so impressed that when I tiptoed by his room, he called me in and told me "They are fascinating people. Even if only 10% percent of what they said works, this is a bargain. Why doesn't everyone use them?"
   I really liked everything about the lesson. You (both) are very organized in your presentation, very attentive and very effective. I did not think it would work as quickly as it has, but Arabella has not bothered anyone and we are about to sit down to dinner. Also, after looking at most of the written material, I noticed that there is a lot of food for thought for people regarding leadership and behavior even if he/she has no pets. That is quite an accomplishment for a dog training service. I almost want to recommend you to some friends who need help with their own assertiveness training!
    I think that the whole curriculum and the way it was delivered today by the two of you was wonderful, and yes, you can use my comment as a testimonial or use me or my parents as references. --Chandra, Orange, CT

Bauer is doing great! People that come over are very impressed. I am glad that we don’t have to use a shock collar anymore. We weren’t so sure it would work on our dog as he was very wild. He is like a different dog now – taking him to other people’s homes isn’t embarrassing. He is a pleasure to have around now. I’m sure he is as happy as we are. --Cherie, West Haven, CT

This is a very positive program and I like the concepts and methodologies used. It has been 4 weeks since the first session, and discernable, positive results are noticed. Vicki and Richard are wonderful, lovely guides. --Judith, Milford, CT

Richard and Vicki had patience with us and Brody and took the time to answer questions and concerns if there were any. The method is not abusive or harsh for the dog and there are immediate results. --Evan and Jaymie, Orange, CT

Phenomenal results on several problem areas in a very short time. Wonderful experience. Richard and Vicki are awesome to work with. --Mike, West Haven, CT

Compassionate training that shows results. --Laurie and Keith, Milford, CT

Both Richard and Vicki were very professional and extremely knowledgeable about correcting our dog’s aggression problems. --Kelly and Jeff, West Haven, CT

The dogs already seem to be better behaved after a couple of hours. --Michele, Woodbridge, CT

Research from the internet and references proved true.--Joyce and Mitchell, Southbury, CT  

Amazing results. Addressed our questions - saw results in first visit. Highly recommend Vicki and Richard.--Beverly and John, Woodbridge, CT

Our dog responded almost immediately and the simple commands are reassuring. Richard and Vicki are very confident trainers and it shows in their actions. --Janet and Russ, Milford, CT

Results right away. Great for all problems. Very friendly, easy to work with. Worth its weight in gold. --Renee and Frank, Orange, CT

Richard was pleasant and encouraging. The method isn’t physical or threatening to the dog. The dog gets praised frequently. --Melissa and Andy, West Haven, CT

I look forward to many years of a joyous relationship with my dogs because of Bark Busters. --Senada, Derby, CT

We observed noticeable results by the end of the training. --Carol and Bill, Waterbury, CT

Thank you for coming down and helping with Rebel. We have not had any issues since you left on Thursday, he listens to us, when he takes something that does not belong to him he will come when we call and leave the item. And the muzzle is now put away for good. Even potty training is going much better!!
   The kids can do as they please without us having to worry about him nipping or bothering him. He hasn't fussed for us to play with him constantly and he has only been in the kitchen 3 times.
   It is amazing to see him have such turn around in such a short period of time. He follows me around the house now like a lost puppy he is adorable. We love him so much and it is wonderful to be able to cuddle with him.
    You are wonderful trainers and we appreciate your help ever so much. Thank you once again. --Dean and Elsje, Ansonia, CT
