The training was thorough & descriptive. Marc was patient with me so I needed more training than my dog. All of the training was described to us with specific examples and was compared to things we fully understood.

After one session with Todd we saw a complete 180 in Orion, our younger pup. He's listening and responding to us so much better. His behavior has been great since meeting Todd. We cannot be happier. Todd is amazing.

Kevin came to train Fiona (mostly me) yesterday and totally saved me. I was at the end of my rope with her soiling and reactive behaviors. The skills he taught me have changed our relationship 100% and I am confident I will have a well behaved dog I can be proud of. Thank you Kevin!

Michelle is amazing! Both of my dogs have changed so much from just two sessions. I could see a big difference from the first time Michelle came! She is extremely informative and helps with all aspects of the dogs lives. She helped us understand why our dogs behaved the way they did. We have exercises to work on daily and have fixed problems we didn’t know were possible.

Our shelter dog was a 3yo boxer mastiff with zero training when we adopted him. He was mouthy and difficult to walk. We were nervous if he would be the right fit for our son, but we hired Mike and Cassidy and they worked their magic!! Instantly, Mike was able to "master control" of our dog and demonstrated his ability to provide guidance during the training process. It took some months of practice but we've seen a night and day change in our dog. He no longer pulls on the leash. Walks along side us and seeks permission to walk ahead. He's extremely docile. No longer mouthy. Great on a leash. Sleeps at my feet. No longer appears threatening at all. We are BEYOND happy and impressed. Well worth the investment!!

My dog Frankie is a rescue from the streets of Puerto Rico. He is my ninth dog. He has also been the most difficult of all my dogs to train. I have had Frankie for over two years. He’s smart, and he tests me constantly, ignoring commands, playing ‘catch me if you can’ and basically ruling the house. I was going to hire a dog trainer, but Frankie already knows all of his commands, but follows them on his terms, not mine. If I have food in my hands, he listens to every word. He becomes a straight ‘A’ student for chicken jerky. Without food, he does what he wants. We really didn’t need a ‘trainer’. We needed more.
PermalinkAfter doing some research, I called Bark Busters. I spoke to a knowledgeable young man who gave me hope as I made an appointment for a visit from one of their therapists. I hired Bark Busters to help me take control of my topsy turvy, fragile relationship with my dog. Bark Busters Behavioral therapists don’t spend time on reinforcing verbal commands. Instead, they taught me how to communicate in dog language and behaviors that my dog would comprehend and respect.
In walks Cassidy, into my home, with a confidant smile and a personality to match. With instruction and demonstrations, she taught me how to execute behavioral changes without the need for treats, or negative reinforcement. Within three hours, my Frankie was transforming right in front of my eyes. Cassidy not only changed my dog, but transformed me, as well. The knowledge she delivered was above and beyond that of a dog trainer. It was more of a counseling session with role playing that helped me understand my dog and for him to understand me.
By the time Cassidy left my home, I had the foundation for building a truly amazing relationship with my dog. Frankie and I, with Cassidy’s help, began a journey that we build upon everyday through the planning and accompanying homework I was given. Cassidy has been right there along side us through this continuing journey. She checks in with us regularly, is always available to answer questions or make suggestions, and continually pays us visits to see how things are going. During her visits, Frankie and I get beneficial pointers that continue to strengthen our bond.
I am 71 years old. Frankie will probably be my last dog. Because of Cassidy, I no longer worry about reactive behavior, or being ignored when I don’t have a treat in my hand. I don’t worry about Frankie escaping from the house or pulling me to chase a squirrel or run to say hi to another dog. Because of Cassidy, my dog is confidant in what I am asking of him. He has learned how to relax. He wants to please me. He LISTENS and is self-assured as to what I expect from him. In turn, I have a well-adjusted, calm, and much happier companion.
Cassidy’s expertise and vast understanding of dog language and behaviors is worth every penny. The philosophy of Bark Busters and their dog friendly ability to change behaviors are incredible. I am, as I’m sure you can tell from this long winded review, amazed by the results Frankie and I have experienced. You will be too.

We loved Josh's way of teaching and his explanation of things. We noticed a huge improvement in Murphy's behavior right away. We also loved that Josh created instances of real-life situations because that seemed very effective.

I had issues with Bella tugging on the leash constantly. Within a couple of minutes, Josh was able to teach me how to resolve the issue and was able to walk around the neighborhood with no issues at all.
