Rebecca was clear and thorough - she taught me a lot and answered all of my questions. "We" learned to heel successfully in minutes! This is the second dog I've used BB with - great results each time! [The training experience was] interesting, informative, effective and fun. I have been recommending BB for years.

Debbie was excellent in explaining the approach that would meet our goals with our dog. I learned lots of new tools. Debbie is fantastic in her approach. We had a lot of fun! Debbie is very knowledgeable and has lots of experience and its obvious! I would recommend Debbie to anyone struggling.

Mary explained the techniques in a way that was very organized and logical. Her presentation make it easy to ask questions if needed without a problem. We were amazed at how quickly Rolex responded to the different methods! We'd been searching for a training method that did not focus on treats or physical punishment and Bark Busters definitely fit the bill and made us feel much more comfortable than other methods would have.
PermalinkIt is rare to learn so much and also be able to practice what you have learned in less than 3 hours. The time flew by as we were constantly learning and implementing new skills. It was both enjoyable and informative!
I've already shared the "Bah" technique with family and friends who were a bit skeptical, but now see the results. Once they learn about why the sound works, they get it.
We have been extremely pleased with Mary and the Bark Busters training methods and are thrilled to finally feel more in control and confident with Rolex. We wish every dog in our neighborhood who barks would get Marys' help so we could all be happier.

Sharon truly has a gift. I have two non-trusting chihuahuas: a 10 yr old and a 6 mo old. I initially requested service for the puppy. Within 10 minutes, it was clear that my puppy was looking to my older dog, and the older one was teaching my puppy bad habits and needed training also. I thought it was too late for a 10 yr old who has always feared and barked at strangers, but he was quite responsive to Sharon. She was quite soothing for them both, which enhanced their ability to learn the tasks being taught. Within a short period of time, I was taught skills that allowed me to be in control and not controlled. I could turn off the barking and get them to walk with a loose leash. I was also impressed with the fact that canine communication, not treats, was the tool used for behavior modification. I felt like I was in a session with Cesar Milan!!!!

One month prior to meeting Karen Edstrom at Bark Busters, we had written an ad to place our very ornery 2 yr old labradoodle on Craigslist. We had just returned from a 3 day vacation and our kennel told us they would NOT take Cooper back. He had been too much trouble for the staff and other dogs barking incessantly. Afraid that Cooper would wreak havoc on another family and someone may hurt him we decided to try one last attempt with some training. I really didn't want to spend any more money on this dog, who seemed like such a waste of time. We had already done PetSmart training twice at $200. Ahhh! We were so skeptical and laughed on the inside when Karen listed the things she would have our dog doing like: sitting in the living room while visitors came to the door, not jumping on guests, not stealing food from our kitchen counter, not shoving us down the stairs when we walked. Not barking incessantly for attention. On the very first visit, Karen came to our home and gave us the tools to accomplish all of this and more. My dog has not entered my kitchen since she left. Cooper stays in the living room when the doorbell rings and waits for us to tell him to greet guests. Cooper doesn't jump on our guests. He waits for us to walk down the stairs before he even starts down. We enjoy our dog. We love being with him. There are new things we work on each month. We can't believe we wanted to give Cooper away. It is by far the BEST MONEY I HAVE EVER SPENT! There is no cruelty involved and you do not use food treats - just petting and "good boy!"� It's like we are speaking a language he finally understands. Our dog seems so less stressed. We know what to expect from each other and we are getting along fabulously. Even our kennel says, they would love to have him back. There are not enough wonderful things I can say about Karen and Bark Busters.

The lifetime program is a fantastic service. I have moved twice since my pup's initial training as a puppy (Sasha is now 5). New environment, new challenges. It's Gail to the rescue! I appreciate Gail's calm presence, and her experience is using the dog teaching techniques to RE-education Sasha and me. Gail was able to quickly resolve our problems and give practical suggestions. Many thanks!
