    I started working with Kyle Milwit, Bark Busters trainer, in November 2023. I had just adopted an adult dog and needed help integrating her into my home and with my other dog, who I have had for 12 years. Kyle “trained” me and gave me the tools necessary to safely integrate the dogs and ensure I remained in control as the pack leader.

    Within a few sessions (immediate results after the first session) he helped me take two adult female dogs that were very on edge with each other (and would fight) and create an environment/dynamic that allowed them to both feel safe and confident with each other and allowed me to be a better leader of my pack. After less than 6 weeks of consistent training they are now cuddling together on the same dog beds and are inseparable.

    Working with Kyle has been a game changer! I appreciate his methods and training style and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking help with dog behavior issues and obedience training.

    Kyle was super helpful with Emma. Within a couple of days she started doing much better with jumping and her other issues. He explained it in a way that was easy to understand. I am thankful that he will be able to help in the future if more issues arise.

    Kyle did an excellent job of explaining the training techniques and demonstrating how to use them with Charlie. He was obviously very knowledgeable and intuitive regarding the mind of a dog and how to communicate with them. Charlie was very in tune with Kyle and very responsive to his commands and directives. Kyle was patient and listened to my questions and respected my input. I can already see some improvement in the past 2 days.

    We can’t recommend Kyle enough! He’s very easy going, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. We have two lovable Frenchies w/ several behavioral issues, but after just a few sessions we’ve seen dramatic improvement and our relationship w/ them is vastly improving week over week. Kyle is a tremendous resource and we look forward to working with him as needed in the future.

    First meeting was very informative. Kyle gave us great tools to work with. Can’t wait to practice with Bane.

    I was hopeful yet skeptical when we began our search for a dog trainer/behaviorist when Holly began her aggression towards her other pack members. I am so happy to say after one visit with Kyle, we see a major difference in Holly! Her whole demeanor has changed and we have been given the proper tools to ensure continued success! Thank you so much, Kyle, for helping us obtain normalcy again in our home!

    We’re very excited about what we learned from Kyle yesterday!
    Kyle did an outstanding job teaching us the system and did so in a way that was very natural combining immediate attention to Oakie’s issues and the flow of the presentation.

    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.
