Patrick Hickey dog training reviews

Patrick did a great job explaining the techniques we need to practice with Dunkin. He spent over 3 hours on the first visit practicing the techniques both inside and outside. This was after not being very happy with our first trainer. There was a noticeable difference. Nice in what we had with our first trainer and what Patrick went over with us . Permalink

Patrick did a great job training my dog, and me! She responded immediately and he continued to encourage us both. He was patient and spent plenty of time with us to make sure we had a good plan for ongoing training. Thanks Patrick! Permalink

Patrick is a kind and gifted trainer - not just for dogs but for their humans, too. The insight into our dog's psychology - and how our behaviors are influencing him, have been so helpful. And the techniques Patrick taught us began making a difference literally on day 1 of training! Our dog's anxiety has made it tough to have friends over, answer the door, and walk him safely. We're so grateful and relieved to be working with Patrick and for the improvements our whole family is seeing. Permalink

Patrick is a wonderful trainer! My husband and I were able to understand the techniques and skills easily when training our little Yoshi! In just 3 hours we saw a huge change in our pup! We are very pleased with the skills we learned. Permalink

We had our first training with Bark Busters with Jordan and it was a very good experience. Of course, it is really training "humans" that is most important and I am pleased to say that it is still working and growing more effective with my rescue dog Maddie, a American Straffordshire Terrier mix (Pit Bull) She is loving, willful and we couldn't even begin to imagine managing her without the "growl." Jordan left to pursue other interests and we were blessed to have Patrick step in. Patrick came and was even more effective with his style and own interest himself in rehabbing rescue dogs, especially the ones that many people don't understand. Maddie immediately obeyed him ( I guess his growl was more effective ;-) and the kind and firm guidance helped us take her training to another level. He is available for continued work. I couldn't be more pleased with his training and for Bark Busters. I highly recommend Patrick and the way he trains and takes care of his clients; human and dogs. Permalink

We have seen great progress with our rescue pup Argo. Our trainer Patrick has helped us significantly with his obedience training. Since day one, he has alleviated the leash pulling, separation anxiety and aggression towards other animals. We were worried about our ability to care for Argo, but with Patrick’s help, he has become a model citizen. I would definitely consider this a worthwhile investment and look forward to seeing his advancement . Thank you bark busters and thank you Patrick!! Permalink

Patrick is fantastic! He cares about his clients and has been a huge help to me in training my border collie pup Harley! Permalink

Wow! Talk about bang for your buck! We chose Bark Busters because of their philosophy of in home training. It makes so much more sense than attending classes, or shipping your dog off to boot camp, neither of which can address your dog's daily environment. Training Tucker in his home and neighborhood has been more effective and successful, than any other training we had available for our older dogs. The first session was not a "meet and greet", training started the minute Jordan came to the door. We have 3 dogs, and knowledge of basic training. We were struggling with a large pup, 8 months old, who was not responding to any of our "go to" methods of training a pup. The first visit addressed issues in the home and outside as they were happening! It is truly unbelievable, but after the first training session, Tucker was a completely different dog. Jordan has been amazing with follow up training sessions as needed. The ongoing support has frankly been something I did not expect. I can text a question, send a video of an issue, ask for a training visit, and get an immediate response. Bark Busters" philosophy of training as needed as opposed to weekly visits, make so much sense. Dogs are smart and quickly learn to do all the right things when the "teacher" is there, much like children. After the initial session, Jordan has come to the house to address either new issues, or address setbacks as needed. He has come to walk with us, to tweak training, met us at Lowe's to address Tucker's fear of people due to COVID 19 and reduced exposure to people, provided us with a multitude of resources, and has been "real time" accessible for questions. He has worked with both my daughters on establishing a pack leader role with our dogs as well. We invested in our dog and Jordan matched that investment. If you are looking for the whole enchilada, Bark Busters, and specifically, Jordan Wakefield is it. Permalink
