    Training with Michael has been incredible so far. I feel so grateful this is the company I decided to go with. The theory works.

    I had a great experience with Michael of Barkbusters. He was very patient and gentle with Teddy and left us with some great exercises to practice. Grateful to Michael for all his help.

    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!

    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.

    Photo of Chanel, Dolly, Gigi Recently my daughter, along with our 3 dogs , and I moved from a large home with a large fenced yard to an apartment. This move had a very negative affect on our dogs who were never leash trained along with barking issues from many other dogs in the building. Heard great things about Bark Busters so hired them and had one session today. We already see improvement with the lessons we learned to guide our dogs into a happy, safe life at the new place. ( after the first day!)

    Michael was great! Within 45 minutes of the first visit, my dog felt like a new animal! He gives great instruction with simple techniques. I needed a solution but was worried I couldn’t do it, I now realize what works! Best $$ I have ever spent, having an improved understanding on how my dog operates has given me much peace!

    Photo of Teddy We are so happy and grateful for Michael for helping us train our Cavapoo Teddy. He models all of the exercises and explains why they help our dog and guided us through them. We both felt confident immediately in doing the exercises on our own! He has been responsive and is a wonderful resource and he truly cares about his clients and their dogs. He is warm, friendly, and puts his all into what he does. Do not hesitate to reach out and start training your dog with Michael! You will be so grateful that you did!

    Great training experience. I called a couple of places first and chose Bark Busters. The approach is great; both humans and dogs need help and they did a great job training us both. We had a refresher after several years and my dog is showing improvements on the same day. We have homework that is helpful and attainable.

    My husband and I enlisted the help of Bark Busters after recently welcoming 2 new puppies into our home and could not be happier and grateful for the tips, guidance, and help that we have received. Mike came to our home to work with us and our dogs, and he is an amazing and patient teacher/guide. We very much appreciate Bark Buster's philosophy that they are here to help and support us and our dogs and to help us understand the best ways to raise happy and healthy pups. We highly recommend Bark Busters and are looking forward to our continued relationship with Mike and Bark Busters

    Michael and Lydia have been really wonderful to work with, and our pup Sunny just loves them! We wanted to get in-home training help with our pup when we first got her because we could tell she was going to be stubborn, sassy, and have lots of opinions. We knew she needed boundaries, but we had no idea where to begin, even after all of the research and YouTube videos. Doing your own research only goes so far until you need a professional to help you with YOUR specific dog and their personality! I was initially hesitant to hire Bark Busters with the one-time flat fee for the dog's entire life, but once I met Michael at our first session and he taught me how to understand my dog and how to gain authority in my home while still giving her all the love and attention she needed, I was so sold. They focus on training that is sustainable and is highly effective without the use of harmful items like shock collars and electric fences. Truly any time we have struggled with any behavioral issues with Sunny, Bark Busters is just a call, text, or audio message away. They are great communicators, so very patient and kind, you can tell they always know what they're doing and how to gain control over the dog in countless scenarios. They walk you through every step, and they focus on teaching YOU how to train your dog well in and out of the home, rather than just doing the training FOR you. They are always there for us when we need them. I already recommend them to our friends and family, and will continue to do so! We love you, Michael and Lydia! Sunny's and our quality of life have improved SO MUCH since you started helping us! Thank you!!!
