Client Reviews and Testimonials

Kendra and I contacted Sharon after rescuing Lucky, a male, Black Lab mix from a horrible situation at kill shelter in Fredericksburg, VA. Lucky suffered from severe separation anxiety, mild food agression, and generally, was 'shut down' not even acting like a dog. Additionally, we had to make sure Lucky wouldn't attack our 3 existing cats in a such a small area (our apartment). I contacted Sharon and she came out to our apartment and within the first session (because of her strategy) gave us the tools we needed to immediately help Lucky and ourselves along with our cats: Socks, Oreo and Shadow fully trusting Lucky and vice versa. We continue to implement the strategies on a daily basis (along with his 2 walks per day no matter what the weather) that have helped Lucky win his first 'Canine Good Citizen Award' and about to take his 'Novice Rally-o' title (agility and obedience.) He has become the dog he was always meant to be-leaving his abusive days long behind him. We've since moved into a larger home where we all live in harmony thanks to Sharon and her strategies. Thanks for everything, Sharon. You've really helped Lucky enjoy his forever home and we enjoy him immensely as part of our family. Permalink

Abby is much better behaved now. Our dog responded well to the training. We can now enjoy our dog now since she listens to us. We have already recommended Bark Busters to our neighbor. Permalink

Our dog has done a complete 180 !! The training was easy to follow and has worked incredibly on our dog. The training was worth every penny !! Permalink

With the simple explanations Barbara provided, we have been able to re-negotiate our relationship with our dogs resulting in more desirable behavior on their part and less frustration on our part. Permalink

We give Kendra excellent marks in all areas....[knowledge, explaining the program and homework clearly, importance of homework, etc..] Permalink

I cannot express my thanks to Glenda for teaching me how to break Gidget's bad habit of jumping up on our guests. The techniques I learned are easy to implement and have made our lives so much calmer. My only regret is that I didn't call Bark Buster sooner! Permalink

Bark Busters of Fort Myers is very thorough. Doc (the dog) now walks to heel and stays when the door bell rings. I am glad Bark Busters Home Dog Training is not off reward training. The whole lesson was very interesting. I got immediate results from simple techniques. Permalink

Amazing! Best walk ever - owned many dogs and still learned a lot new! Permalink

We were amazed that by the end of the 1st session Lucy was able to stay calm and not jump on David Wiley when he rang the doorbell, then entered. We have put the training techniques into practice and already it's as if we have a different dog! She is more attentive and we all feel better. Permalink

I was at my wits end with Kobe, my overly aggressive Staffordshire Terrier. Kobe charged the door when the doorbell rang, barked and jumped on whomever had the courage to enter. Kobe chewed the corner of my sofa, the cable wires in the back yard, along with portions of my fence. When Michael came over, he sat down with me & explained the reasons why Kobe acted the way he did & how we would correct it. Kobe was the PACT leader & he knew it. Within 10 minutes of Michael working with Kobe, I immediately saw a change. Michael stayed for almost 2 hours and I am thrilled. I wasted money on training at the pet stores, but with Michael, the training is worth every dollar. I am the PACT leader. Permalink
