    It’s only been a day and amazed at the results so far. It is quite a bit of work so be prepared but the payoff should be huge!!

    Scot was great at explaining the Bark Busters training philosophy and gave excellent examples for putting the trainings into action. We are excited to continue the trainings with our dog Lyla and to one day enjoy our walks without having her barking at other dogs. Thanks so very much Scot!!

    Our dog has been struggling with anxiety and some complex behaviors that had us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. But Scott came in with a calm, confident presence and immediately made us feel more at ease. He didn’t just work with our dog—he worked with us, teaching us practical tools, tips, and tricks that we could use every day. He explained everything clearly and with so much knowledge that it was easy to follow and apply his advice right away.
    Thanks to Scott, we now feel empowered, educated, and much more prepared to handle situations that used to feel impossible. It’s clear he genuinely cares about both the dogs and the families he helps. The time, effort, and expertise he shared with us have made a huge difference already, and we’re so grateful for everything he’s done.

    Beyond Happy. We have been life time doggie owners. At this time we have 3 puppies under the age of 10 months. To say the least, it can be very hectic. Scot came in and showed us how to address some of their behaviors. (running out the door as soon as it opens, barking, recall, potty training issues. We are look forward to learning more and becoming the leaders of the pact. Having the training in their environment is more valuable than I can put into words.

    One session in and we are already seeing a drastic change!
    We just moved to Boston a few months back and our Havanese took the move the hardest - he developed major anxiety which sometimes came out in the form of aggression. After only one session with Scot and a few tricks and recommendations later, my dog and I just came back from the best walk we have had since we moved! Our dog was calmer, less distracted, and less worried all on the eve of that first session!
    Scot understands dogs and has a way of helping the rest of understand them too. He made sure we understood what, how, and when things needed to be done, and made us feel like it was all easily achievable. We are so glad to be working with him and cannot wait for our next session!

    When I tell you how SHOCKED we are with how behaved our dogs are acting after ONE training session!

    Scot was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also very personable. After a meet and greet over Zoom, Scot comes to YOUR home where your dogs are most comfortable. We are so pleased with all of the training techniques he taught us and the dogs! Scot diligently answered all of our questions and made sure there were no gray areas.
    For some background, we have two dogs. One is almost a year old, and the other one has some aggressive behaviors towards her little brother. By the end of our first session, both dogs were sitting up on a beanbag together, sniffing and licking each other. Scot is truly a lifesaver and gives you all the tools you need to get through to your dogs.
    If you have dogs in need of training and don’t want to rely on treats for your dog to listen to you, Scot is your guy.
    All of Scot’s techniques are catered towards the dog. No fear, no physical, completely verbal and tapping in to the psychology of the dog.
    We are truly so pleased and are so excited to continue working with Scot through their lifetime guarantee.
    We are so thankful, thank you Scot!

    We had our first training session with Scot . We had no idea what to expect but it was incredible . He explained everything he was doing and why. He really listened to us and understood our needs and concerns. Our family dynamics is a bit unique, we have a disabled son who needs constant care through out the day which requires many people coming and going . So it is important to us to make sure the everyone will be safe in our home. He is patient and has very easy going manner which made it very comfortable for us to talk to him. He was straight forward with his instructions letting us know it is going to take time so try to remember be patient with Spike and also with ourselves. We have only just started with our home work and we already see improvement with him. We have so much more work to do with him
    but I know with Scots guidance we will have great success. We look forward with our next session.

    Scot is a miracle worker! My Plott Hound mix is terrified of going outside. Scot and I just spent about an hour outside with my fur baby! My dog was running around having a great time in our fenced in yard. I have not been able to get him to run around before. Scot has a way about him that dogs can really relate to. He always give’s advice that I can easily follow and advice that always works! Thank you so much Scot, you are the best!

    Scot is a professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable dog trainer. He is also very easy to work with. In just one session he helped me understand the inner working of a dog’s brain so I could understand why my very aggressive dog was acting the way she was. Scot gave me practical tools on how to correct her aggression by using behaviors dogs use in nature-along with some actual tools that do not harm the dog physically or emotionally. He was patient and encouraging as we worked through different situations. He gives you homework and will check in on your progress. I am very excited to have found Scot as he is the only trainer I have seen actual results with! I highly recommend him!

    It was a pleasure working with Scot during our initial training session. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, respectful, empathetic and patient. Scot trained us as owners and leaders as much as he trained our pup Odie.

    We received clear instructions and tools to work with and plenty of homework. Within 24 hours of his first session, the differences we are seeing in Odie are remarkable.

    We’re excited to continue our training plan and optimistic we will see deep and long lasting results.
