Heather and Patrick are amazing trainers! Having 3 dogs can be overwhelming especially when they aren’t trained. She’s very knowledgeable when it comes to the different dog behaviors and how to counteract them. We look forward to our next visit and cannot wait to see what new training techniques I will learn. Thank you so much for helping me. See you soon!
So we took the plunge and paid for help to hopefully get this dogs attitude right! Well...it's worth the upmost happiness and joy that I tell you, he's a changed dog!!! Bark Buster's Columbia here in Blythewood/Columbia, specifically Heather Crawford, is AMAZING!!! 1-ONE session and he's no longer the demon dog! There are follow up sessions and life of the dog support! WORTH EVERY PENNY
We have had such an amazing experience with Bark Busters. Our first visit was very informative, tailored to our specific needs and we’ve already noticed quite a bit of progress within our pups. Heather provided us with different techniques for queuing, space management and leash training. We are very pleased with the services we received and amazed by their ability to work with three dogs at once. The best part about Bark Busters is the instant results and that the training is for LIFETIME of the dog enrolled.
I saw a rapid improvement in both of my puppies after the initial session. Heather is experienced, patient and an awesome teacher. It is clear that she loves dogs and helping families to be the best caregivers. The training was informative and immediately impactful. I highly recommend her to any new dog owners for her passion, care, instruction and friendliness.
Heather is so good with my dog Buster. He is a rescue and had severe issues with aggression towards people he didn't know and also around food. Heather knew exactly what to do and worked with Buster at my home. She was very patient with him and her training methods improved his temperament significantly. My stress level when having company is so much better!
Heather was tremendously helpful in helping me prevent my dog, Marshmallow, from digging under the fence and escaping my yard. Heather was friendly, professional and highly knowledgeable. Her solutions were simple, reasonable adjustments to our habits that led to quick and effective changes. She has also been more than willing to make good on the promise of follow-up visits at no additional cost, which adds tremendous value to the training services. Her support has been invaluable to our piece of mind, and I would happy recommend her and Bark Busters to anyone in need of dog behavioral assistance.
Heather has been amazing!!
We have two 9 month old pit mix puppies (brother and sister) I can't say enough about her professilalizem. I have texted her many times with new concerns and questions. She has always replied promptly and has even come the next day to teach us new techniques.
She has helped us to be able to really enjoy our new family members.
We couldn't have done it without her.
Our German Shepherd, Nancy, was starting to fight with her brother. She was very aggressive with visitors and they both pulled so badly on the leash we couldn't walk them. We were referred to Heather and Bark Buster's by our vet for their behavioral problems. Whitney was so helpful. She answered all our MANY questions and was flexible with our schedule. Heather spent the first part of the lesson asking us questions and helping us make a plan for each dog. We decided it would be best to train both dogs so we could establish leadership in the household. She worked with each dog individually and then together. We were walking them both on a loose leash by the end of the first lesson! I could not believe the difference in Nancy. Both dogs were exhausted and slept the rest of the day. We have daily exercises for both that are quick and easy. We could not be more pleased with the results. Heather followed up with us a few days ago to check the progress and is coming for a revisit next week. Thank you so much Heather and Whitney for your help with this process. We're looking forward to seeing the continued progress with our pups.
My Labradoodle Ozzie has such high energy. He's impossible to walk because he pulls so hard and wants to meet every dog he sees. He barks and jumps on guests constantly. I wanted to fix this behavior before the Thanksgiving and Christmas parties. Then I found Bark Buster's! Their training is exactly what I was looking for. They are in- home trainers that use a holistic approach. No harsh devices and NO treat training. We had a previous trainer who used treats and that didn't work for long. The first visit went great! Heather explained everything and took a detailed history on Ozzie. He was 80% improved after just a couple hours. I couldn't believe the difference! AND they offer a lifetime guarantee of support. So if he has any more behavioral issues, she will come back at no extra cost! I couldn't be happier with the new and improved Oz
We highly recommend Heather! When our puppy, George was 10 months old we went with a different trainer and George did good. But overtime he went back to his old ways. We hired Heather when George was 3 years old. We were so surprised how quickly her training methods were working. Heather came to our house for 3 lessons and we are so happy with the results!
George loves Heather & we wish we had hired her earlier.
