Kyle has been amazing with training our puppy (or actually training us) to understand and interact with Buie so that we understand each other. We are much slower learners than our dog but the changes have been significant. Puppy nipping has reduced considerably and his walking on leash, waiting, and behavior with others is great for a 5 month old. Kyle’s suggestions and demonstrations have made a difference. He has also adapted some training tips so that we are more able to implement them. His willingness to answer calls and emails has helped in between visits. Having him come to our home and work with us in our environment was a great decision and well worth the investment.
It is always hard when you're a new puppy mama. I got my puppy at 3 months old and I needed all the help I could get! Kyle was a God send.
First of all, I kept feeling guilty about all the things I felt I was NOT doing for my puppy. Kyle listened and always told me to stop feeling guilty and he does not judge! And believe me when I say he definitely does not judge!
Kyle has helped strengthen my relationship with my dog by really watching and listening to our interactions. The training is for both mama and dog. He gets to know the dog and the human before helping and giving advice. He caters to us, and that's important to me.
I love working with Kyle and am blessed he's in our life! It means alot to me that he genuinely cares for my baby!
Kyle gave me some great information on how to train Jockamo and “speak dog” to him so he can know he’s in a safe and secure home. I’m so excited to see my pup’s progress over the next few weeks and help him live a great doggy life.
Great session. Learned a lot and very pleased with the techniques used and Murphy's response. Kyle is very personable and very knowledgeable. He obviously loves dogs and loves what he does!
Wonderful first encounter with Kyle - We learned a lot and had positive results on our first lesson! We will continue with what we have learned but already have a calmer, more relaxed member of our pack. Best method of effective communication I have ever experienced! Thank you Kyle & Bark Busters!
Kyle has been absolutely wonderful with reassuring me & retraining me to be assertive as the pack leader. I have a reactive dog that can growl or lunge with dogs or people on walks (out of fear). Before calling bark busters I did not know what to do other than avoid everything and everyone. My dog is now making great strides in not only her reactiveness but also in listening to me, not pulling my arm off to get outside for a walk and barking at outside noise.
Kyle is very positive, personable, efficient and gives clear directions. He teaches you how to read your dogs body language and how to communicate in a way your dog will understand. More to that, how your actions can be directly tied to their behavior- it’s training for you and your dog... It really is mind opening seeing your relationship from a different perspective. Kyle has a wealth of knowledge and it truly has made all the difference for me. It is a real struggle having a dog that cuddles you but is scared of strangers and other dogs. You and your dog can be happier and more confident. It seems like an impossible ask but help is out there! If you have a similar dog, I cannot recommend Kyle & his training style enough. You can become the leader your dog needs. 10/10 stars! My schnauzer is able to walk alongside a family members dog now and enjoy herself. Baby steps, but a month ago I’d never have thought this was possible.
Kyle was on time, professional, personable and very helpful. He did a great job of explaining the why behind the approach, talking through our current challenges with Oreo and discussed the psychology behind it. He trained us and gave us tools we look forward to using!
Kyle helped us to manage Bleu’s exiting in and out of the home and crate. This has trickled over into Bleu’a ability to stop behaviors such as counter surfing as well as waiting until his food is being giving to him before getting/jumping up.
