Client Reviews and Testimonials

John was very patient. Everything which needed to be done was explained in detail and instructions were easy to follow. Would highly recommend. Permalink

We are absolutely amazed with the training tips and information we received for our two yorkies. We were worried to even have people over for fear of our boy dog biting but now we feel more confident that we can. Trying to control two dogs, let alone two yorkies is difficult...or so we thought until Michael came and showed us how to do it. The training is easy and effective. In just a short time of Michael being in our home we noticed a huge change in our dogs. We covered everything from aggression to barking to marking and jumping. We are extremely happy with the results so far and are looking forward to a more peaceful home going forward. Permalink

Leigh Ann was amazing and got right to work with Samson. She made it fun for Samson and he wanted to do all the lessons. Permalink

Having trouble training your dog? I assure you that Dick Messenger has the answers you've been wanting and looking for. Dick Messenger's professionalism and experience was evident from the moment he greeted our 4-month old chocolate lab puppy Mora and us. His light-hearted and humorous approach made us feel at ease in knowing that we were not alone with the challenges we were facing while raising a puppy, and most importantly, that they are trainable behaviors. When we first got our puppy we had enrolled in a group Puppy 101 class at a local facility and found ourselves in an overcrowded room with a training that was extremely subpar, at that point, we knew we had to find a better alternative. We are so pleased that we found Dick as a dog trainer and made the commitment to Bark Busters, it started with a thorough phone call with him in preparation for an incredible training session in person, since then, we have seen profound progress in our puppy and can confidently say that the value is there, especially considering that this Dick's support and Bark Busters commitment to our dog's success stays with her for the rest of her life. From our experience we highly recommend Dick Messenger to anyone looking for the magic answer on how to best train a dog, we have already spread the word to our friends and family! It's a game changer, what are you waiting for? Permalink

When I reached out to Joan & John for Help, my 3 Girls were Aggressive with each other and out of control. I thought I was going to have to place them in new homes and that would have broke my Heart. I have tried other Trainers but nothing changed. My Girl's fighting got worse. Joan & John were Wonderful. The Training was easy to follow, written and verbal instructions with demonstrations and one on one hands on assisting me how to do the Training to insure my accuracy of Training my Dogs. They were Patient with me and answered all my questions. They helped me to find my strengths and improve my weaknesses all the while by being positive and engaging with my dogs and having Fun with them. My 3 Girls, Licorice, Blondie and Ginger are No Longer Aggressive to each other and they Listen to Me. No More Fighting or Misbehaving. We have our Happy Home Back! Watching my Dogs transform before my very eyes and realizing by not giving up, my Dogs Love me and each other again. I Highly recommend Joan & John to every Dog owner that I meet. They are simply the Best and my Dogs Love them. Permalink

So glad I did this! I truly believe this technique will truly make a difference. Permalink

Lynne has seriously been a blessing. We had a lot of guarding issues with our dog and in home training felt like the last piece of hope to work with our dog. I wish I would have done it sooner. Lynne took the time to get to know our dog and gave us great tools that worked right away with Buddha. He also pulled like crazy on walks and she was able to show us how to walk properly with him without using a prong collar. Whenever I have a question, Lynne gets back to me right away. Buddha's guarding has almost completely disappeared and it has only been 3 months. Lynne has been absolutely amazing!!! Permalink

Our trainer Jeri arrived on time and was very friendly. She was quite thorough explaining the training plan for our dogs. They responded well to her demonstrations and we were able to follow her lead and apply the lessons quickly. We are already seeing positive results and look forward to continued success. Thank you!!
