    Photo of Bandit & Oliver We have noticed a huge difference in our dog's behavior and temperament. Oliver was struggling with anxiety. He is now less anxious. We have been amazed by how quickly this training has worked & are so grateful for Karen's help.

    Photo of Ryder Much different and better than I expected. I learned I need to correct my tone and behavior when commanding, correcting my dog.

    Photo of Nicole has been AMAZING with training our Frenchie from when he was just a puppy and has since come back for two follow ups when we needed a refresher because we had gotten lazy and again when we had a baby and we got REALLY lazy with the dog training (plus more people were around and no one was following the "rules"). Our pup responded to her immediately and completely changed his behavior as soon as we started implementing her teachings. Let's be honest - WE were the ones that needed the training and retraining. Since the last visit (post baby) - he is the best trained and most well-behaved that he's EVER been and is generally just calmer and more pleasant as a result - our friends and family can't believe it. Nicole has also always been readily available via email and the materials she shares are wonderful resources to come back to and share with grandparents, nanny, etc. We can't recommend Nicole's services enough!!

    My puppy Loki was all over the place. He needed help with potty training, jumping, whining and coming back when I called him. Bill came in and changed the whole scene immediately. At the end of the first lesson I had the tools I needed to get Loki on track. Bill has come back to work with us on advanced training since and all I can say is wow!

    My dog was acting aggressively toward family members and our other pets. I was considering rehoming our boy due to safety concerns but after just one session i see huge improvement. It will be a long road but Bill and Holly were beyond helpful and so knowledgeable, you can really see the years of experience they have between them. They are helping to nurture the relationship between my family and my beloved dog and teaching me skills and confidence to be able to continue the training alone between sessions. I would hugely recommend to get the peace back in your home!

    What can be said about this amazing company?! Bark Busters Home Dog Training of Central Maryland has been a blessing to our family. When we adopted our sweet pup at 6 months from The Washington County Humane Society, we had very little background information for him. We soon realized that Auggie was going to need some professional training for excessive jumping, aggressive play biting and extreme pulling while on walks. After doing some research, I came upon Bark Busters and Chris Pellatiro, our trainer, came to our rescue!
    Chris thoroughly explained the company’s main objective was to implement “proactive training exercises.”
    He very patiently demonstrated using expressive body language, clear voice tones, and helping our dog to refocus at the appropriate moment. He also reminded us that training Auggie had to be a part of our daily routine. We have been so pleased to see positive changes in Auggie’s behavior. With Chris’s ongoing training and helpful suggestions, Auggie has been a joyful addition to our lives.
    Please consider hiring Bark Busters, you will not regret your decision!!
    Thank you,
    Linda Larson

    Trainer Note:
    Really great session today with Ava. We worked on potty training, leash reactivity, and leash manners. We also addressed her demanding behavior and door manners. She responded very well during our first session. Now that Angelica has the tools, she needs she can continue working on Ava's progress.

    Photo of Mr Magoo We asked a lot of Marc today. Mr Magoo is a great dog. We needed help with being great pet parents to him. We still need a lot of practise but feel confident that we have the groundwork to be the leaders Mr Magoo needs us to be.
