Client Reviews and Testimonials

Patrick was very knowledgeable. The training methods and exercises were highly effective. Thank you Patrick and thank you Bark Busters! Permalink

It is very helpful to understand how dogs perceive things differently than people. It helps explain a lot of their actions. This knowledge is very useful when training your dog to behave correctly. Permalink

Excellent scores in every category. I recommend Bark Busters! Permalink

Maril went out of her way to make it easy for me. I recommend Bark Busters training, it was very helpful. Permalink

Patrick explained why we need to think like a dog. Everything made sense because of the issues we had with Blondie, our very nervous Golden Retriever. The lesson was a miracle and continues to be one. When we are ready to walk, she is ready for action. She is no longer afraid of loud noises, cars, trucks, etc... We flunked the Naples Humane Society's dog school. The Humane Society uses "treats" and Blondie is not motivated by food, so they kicked us out with no other advice. Thanks to Bark Busters, Bill and I are trained. I used to be pulled like a kite behind Blondie on our walks, now she is by my side and we enjoy our walks. The whole lesson was very enjoyable. While we are walking, people stop and cannot believe how trained Blondie is. They wish their dogs would walk like her. This was after our second practice session! Our friends used another training service that came out to the house 5 times. Their dog knows the commands, but still will not listen to them. Thank you so very much. We can finally enjoy our dog!

We were at our wit's end and close to taking our puppy (1 year Maltese-Chihuahua) to the SPCA when I called our vet to get a recommendation for a dog trainer. Mocha had developed a very aggressive (viscious) behavior towards us. Other trainers, groomers and dog owners had all kinds of suggestion but none of them worked. Thanks to our trainer, Ann, we have learned how to deal with his temper tantrums. He may always have his tantrums but we can deal with them more effectively now. Mocha now follows commands better and the tantrums are less aggressive besides being fewer and further between. We implement the training in our daily lives and will continue the training so that Mocha does not regress to his previous behavior. Thank you, Ann, for training us and our puppy. Would definitely recommend Ann and Bark Busters to anyone who has a problem with their dog. Permalink

We were glad that the natural training did not include harsh treatment. Colin and June were great - and their training was enjoyable. We would recommend Bark Busters to anyone with a dog that needed better control. Permalink
