Scott Marcotte & Holly Larson dog training reviews

I was so impressed with the professionalism, compassion, and knowledge that our Bark Busters trainer, “Holly” displayed throughout my and my dog Tallulah’s first training session. Holly first talked me through the training protocol using verbal, written, and audio visual tools . The explanations were clear, and easy to understand. My dog was suffering from horrible separation anxiety and her leash manners were atrocious. Upon conclusion of our session with Holly, both Tallulah and myself had a very clear understanding of our new way of communicating with each other. Holly taught us not only what changes we needed to make but why we needed to make them. The best part about this training was… my dog loved it !!!!. She loves our walks. And loves obeying the commands that I give her now . The Bark Busters training method is evidence-based , correction and praise training…and my and Tullulah’s relationship has become more enriched and bonded as a direct result of practicing the training. This program and this trainer, delivered much more than what I had expected or anticipated. I cannot say enough, about this program from start to finish ……it was Stellar!!! Permalink

What a great experience! One day later and there is a significant change. I never thought I could learn so much in a few hours. Permalink

Holly (old friend from college) came to visit at the perfect time, when we'd just adopted a new puppy. She spent a lot of time with me, teaching me how to "speak dog." She was great at demonstrating training techniques then letting me give it a go and then showing me how to correct our dog's behavior. in the moment. Bark Busters' approach is so logical! I'm excited to have these tools - our dog's behavior is much improved and getting better still every day. Permalink

Oh my gosh I cannot thank this program and trainer Scott enough. I have done some treat based training when my Beverly was a pup to get a few of the basics down. She has a traumatic past from being attacked by dogs off leash 3 different times and ended up becoming super protective of me and would puff up angrily if people walked past or knocked on the door. We have moved around a lot and I'm just so happy that there's a way to train without treats or shock collars. Honestly the hardest part right now is consistency and timing. But even after this weekend with Scott coming by, I am amazed at the changes I am seeing in Beverly (who is a mixed breed rescue) She's finally relaxing around our apartment and I love it so much! Definitely will recommend to anyone I know that struggles to train their dogs. Permalink

Holly and Scott were fantastic on our first training experience with them! We have three very sweet dogs with very bad manners and all three of them responded great to Bark Busters training method. Holly and Scott were able to explain and teach us how to train our dogs in a way that made sense and it really is amazing how well this method works. We’ve tried so many different training programs and this one is different. It works consistently, it isn’t treat based and doesn’t require much more than your voice and your body, and really is so simple. We’re very grateful we have the privilege and opportunity to work with Scott and Holly, and we know we have a great support system with them at our side. We’re excited to continue training our dogs with this method and look forward to a future where we have control over our house! Thank you, thank you, thank you Scott and Holly!! Permalink

What a great experience! I'm so excited for the growth of my dog through Bark Busters practices. The training was clear and had immediate results. Scott was amazing to work with and his professional and informative approach made this such a joy. Not to mention the training lasts for life! Not treat or punishment based makes this training the only one I would recommend. So happy for my dog Dash that he can have this wonderful training. If I could give it more stars I would. Permalink

A staggering success! Holly and Scott in Loveland, Colorado, proved that the Bark Busters system works. Choose this method if you’re willing to put in the effort. As much support and guidance as your pooch will need, Holly & Scott will be there for you. Our bundle of ‘joy’ is a wire fox terrier. We know that if we want this to be a happy long-term happy pet, we’ll need to put in the hours necessary for success. No shortcuts here, just results. Permalink

I had adopted a dog who was abused and had stranger danger with anxiety. My dog goes crazy anytime someone comes to the door. Holly and Scott had me training my dog before they had even walked through the front door! I couldn't believe how quickly the techniques worked. It was truly amazing! Don't put up with behaviors. Let them show you a better way. You and your dog will be glad you did. Permalink

Holly and Scott were extremely helpful when training my dogs. The dogs responded so well to the techniques used and I am very happy with my experience! I learned a lot and am much more confident training my dogs. These techniques really help build a relationship and trust with your dog. I highly recommend Holly and Scott for training! Permalink
