    We have had a fantastic experience working with Lydia thus far! We were struggling with our new dog's severe separation anxiety. We felt like we couldn't leave the home without at times. The tools we learned from Bark Busters changed EVERYTHING. We now have a dog that can be confident and independent on her own. The fundamenal tools they gave us made such a tremendous difference in allowing us to properly train our dogs. We're so excited to continue working towards new goals with the bark busters team.

    We have had one of the best experiences working with Michael as our dog trainer. We have three German Shepherds, a 6 year old, a 2 year old, and a 10 month old, and from day one Michael’s training approach helped us better understand our dogs and how to communicate with them.
    What we appreciated most is the technique Michael teaches. It is firm but not aggressive, and it really focuses on setting clear boundaries while still allowing you to build a strong relationship with your dog. As dog lovers, that meant a lot to us.
    We have worked with other trainers in the past, but Michael’s program truly stands above the rest. The difference in our dogs’ behavior and in our confidence as owners has been incredible.
    If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. Highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and how to teach owners the right way to work with them.

    I met with Michael about two months ago and saw changes in my dog while he was still there! Since then I really feel as though I have been given a new way of communicating with Teddy. He is responding so well and his behavior has improved so much Since my bark busters training. I am grateful and recommend this method so highly!

    Was super patient! Let my mom and I ask all kinds of questions and never seemed to change his attitude. Was very good at calling us out for little things we should change while teaching us certain training techniques. Overall very excellent experience.

    Michael did a great job training me and teaching me how to work with my dog to stop her from barking in the house, stay out from underfoot and not beg for food. She also became much easier to walk with his training! He is always ready to help with any issue that comes up with her. Bark Busters and Michael have been great to work with!

    We had a small sized boxer before kids and loved her so much. After she passed and COVID hit we decided to get 2 boxers puppies since we would have the time to train them. It was great in the first year and then they started to overpower us with muscle and boxing like play and especially with young kids. I started to notice they were acting like they were more in charge and I felt desperate after some nipping behavior. Michael from Bark Busters truly has helped me changed the tone in our house. I was amazed at how simple the training is to follow and receptive our dogs were after just a few exercises. I have had tears of joy watching the shift in our relationship with the dogs! Thank you from the bottom of the McGillis Family hearts.

    Michael and the Bark Busters program is excellent. As owners of a new puppy without much experience, we felt confident after the first session and so did our puppy.
