Dog training reviews

Jeri was great to work with. She gave us reasonable goals and to remain consistent with our home training. Permalink

We are very pleased with the results that we have obtained using Donald Cohen and Bark Busters. Our dog (flat coated retriever mix) is very smart and picked up the training very quickly. He walks much better on a leash and is much more at ease with our family. Donald was very clear with his explanation of the fundamental concepts and techniques both with both my husband and me, and our three children. The natural training techniques make a lot of sense and are very humane and effective. Donald has been very supportive of our efforts and has a calm, pleasant training style. He listens very well and provides very specific training instructions for the areas we needed to work at with our dog. I would recommend Bark Busters to my friends and neighbors because of their natural, non-treat based methods and results. Permalink

Robin explained the training in a way which was easy to understand. She played my dog's role and went over it several times, until I got it just right. I noticed immediate results. My dog quit barking at dogs on the TV after two corrections. Very pleased with the hands off and calm voice, natural training methods. The training was exceptionally interesting and enjoyable. It was exciting that my trainer, Robin was helping me to help my dog. I would recommend Bark Busters over another dog trainer because of its humane and natural ways. My only regret is that I didn't call Bark Busters sooner. Permalink

I was impressed by the sustained attentiveness of my dogs without the use of treats. I was thrilled about that. I have always thought using treats, the way I have, does not really put me in a leadership position; so I was happy to learn you do not use them to train. I am having trouble with the "toss" correction, but Rebecca has worked with me on other ways to correct while maintaining that "element of surprise". I will absolutely recommend Bark Busters. I love that you all follow up on the clients. I received a card in the mail from Rebecca as well. I can tell you all really enjoy what you do. Rebecca shared a lot of insight with me. What she's doing really is giving me the confidence and support I need to keep at it with my dogs so I can give them a happy life. Permalink

I learned a lot! When James arrived we could barely talk due to the barking, but by the end of the visit, my dog was under control. I like that it was not hurtful to the dog. It was very enjiyable and intersting. I would absolutely recommend Bark Busters! Permalink

Linda explained everything very well. It opened my eyes a lot. All 4 of my dogs were completely different at the end, listening to me and submissive. Linda had a great upbeat attitude that worked well. It was hard at first to say no to those cute little faces but results were worth it. I did not think my dogs would listen to anyone but this was the best technique. Linda is smart and great with animals. Permalink

James did an excellent job explaining everything. He was very thorough. Results were immediate from that day on. It was better than I expected. Permalink

I was amazed at how quickly my dogs responded to the techniques Linda used. I was pleased to see how easy it is to get positive results...as long as I am consistent! Permalink

Colin explained the the training techniques very thoroughly and logically, in a way that was easy to follow and understand. The results by the end of the session were unbelievable. I think Lovey wants to have stress removed from her life. She is much more relaxed. I was pleased and pleasantly surprised by the natural training techniques, and that they did not make my dog anxious, but rather helped her with stress. The whole training experience was excellent - I found it interesting, enjoyable, very pleasant and do-able. I would most definitely recommend Bark Busters to everyone who has a dog. Permalink

Just after one lesson everything is going great! When Sushi tries to go nuts and barks, I follow your instructions and she stops. When we met a runner on our walk, I had Sushi sit and she let the runner pass by without a bark, nip, jump, or anything. She was the perfect little girl! We can now go on long walks and she walks right next to me. No more pulling! Permalink
