We had our first session today, 6/11/2025. Michelle was great to work with. Easy to understand and immediate results.
We are looking forward to practice what she taught us and looking forward to improvement daily.
Michelle is absolutely amazing! She came in and helped me out with so much when it comes to my new doberman puppy Xena, even accompanying me to Petsmart to find a solution to Xena's new "trick" of climbing out of her pen.
Prior to the appointment I had addressed some concerning stories I had read on Bark Busters through online groups and she reassured me they were NOT the way she does business, and it showed in the first minute of her meeting my dogs. We have a long way to go, but I know that with Michelle's help, Xena is going to be a great companion!
After only a day and a half Slash is a different dog ..my befriend was able to visit without him jumping all over her..I can only imagine how much he will improve with time..he's seeming much calmer and happier..She took enclosed picture of him sitting like a good boy
If you are looking for the best dog training, with a positive reinforcement (no punishment) training program, Michelle at Bark Busters is the best. Michelle is an utmost professional, with the warmth of a family friend, and a gentle demeanor that you instantly feel comfortable around. Within minutes our puppies were at ease and comfortable around her. You can see from the start that she genuinely cared about our concerns, our puppies well-being, and our relationship with our puppies. We were impressed by her thorough interview process and methodical training approach. She took her time to create a bond with our dogs and training came about organically. In a couple of hours our puppies learned food manners, stay, leave it, off, and down. It is so refreshing for us to be able to open the front door and have them not trying to escape. We look forward to our next training session. Thank you so much Michelle for changing our lives.
I can't wait to come for another visit and see your progress. Helping families like yours is why I do this everyday. It is truly my passion. Thank you for taking time to leave this amazing review!

We could not be more pleased with the progress Izzy is making. Our second visit was just as insightful as the first. She has improved at least 75% with just two sessions. Michelle is definitely a 'Dog Whisperer'. She really knows how to communicate with dogs in a gentle and kind way and gains their respect at the same time. Couldn't be happier with the method and results.
Thank you for taking time to leave this review for me. It has been amazing to watch Izzy's growth. Keep up the work. She will soon be everything you have hoped for!

Can't begin to express how impressed I am with Michelle's training techniques. She is brilliant. My 11-month-old pup responded to her immediately. In our first session, she addressed all of Isabella's unwanted behaviors in a way that makes so much sense. She took the time to explain to me how to communicate with a dog and why it works - incredible. Her training methods are kind, gentle and above all extremely effective.
Thank you so very much for this amazing review. It was wonderful to meet you and your beautiful pup. I love nothing more then to see the relationship between dog/owner improve. Can’t wait to watch you grow together!

Michelle the owner is truly a dog whisper. My collie was the neighborhood block watch and was constantly barking, even if a leaf blew across the yard it was a full on 5 Siren bark alert !
Michelle came to the house showed me how to command my leadership of the pack, placed boundaries on the dogs when guests come to the front door and established ME the LEADER. Michelle trains with positive praise and special techniques to get your dog the very best companion they can be. My neighbors and my husband has seen and HEARD the change!

I don’t even know where to begin! Michelle has helped our family in so many ways. Her services extended far beyond what I was expecting. She addressed my dogs as a whole rather than one specific issue. She made me see how much everything is connected to my dogs behavior. I never thought she could help with my oldest dog. I thought she was old too help to change habits. She really helped get my dogs manageable and bring some peace and order into the home. I am forever grateful for Michelle and all she has taught my family. This is training I can carry through with confidence.
Brooke it was a pleasure to assist your beautiful family. Glad to hear about your progress.

My dogs have been victims of the Pitbull Stigma for far too long. The odds have been stacked against them from day 1.Caerus was scheduled to be euthanized after 3 years on a chain, victimized by the dog catchers, and finally left behind he was labeled a bad dog, a vicious pit bull. Once we saved him, he came with much baggage; fear of men, insecurities, and the desire to escape when no one was home. Michelle helped us to understand Caerus' thought process and the canine mentality and break down the situation to that we could better understand the needs of our boy. She taught us the manipulative ways our dog tried to control us without us knowing. She helped us understand situations the way our dogs perceive them, not us, because often, we misinterpreted the message our dog was given. She gave us methods to help our dogs so that we could avoid a fight between the two of them and avoid aggression toward strangers. I am so grateful for this training it will change the PITBULL STIGMA and rewrite my dog's narrative. If dog mom/dad worry consumes your life, as it did me; then the first step is contacting Michelle. You can control your pups, and your peace of mind.
This is an awesome review. I know training was a big step for your family. I am confident your hard work will pay off.

Michelle is amazing. Our rescue dog was out of control. Michelle spent time training us and working with Willow. Fantastic results after the first session. Our dog is learning so much and we are too. It's a miracle.
Willow is a special dog and I'm so thrilled she is learning to be a well-behaved and balanced dog. I know you will enjoy her in your retirement so much more now that her aggression issues are resolving. Thank you for this review.
