    I can't say enough good things about Stephanie! From the very first session, she has been absolutely wonderful in helping me train my 3-month-old puppy, Casper. In just our first session--which lasted a generous 3 hours--Stephanie guided me with so much patience and knowledge on how to be the best puppy mom I can be.

    She's already helped us make huge progress with potty training, and Casper has started to improve with his barking and biting thanks to her techniques. Stephanie's approach is calm, supportive, and incredibly effective. I really appreciated how she focused not only on training Casper, but also on teaching me how to reinforce good behavior and build a positive relationship with him.

    Her schedule has also been extremely accommodating, which has made this whole process so much less stressful. I'm truly looking forward to our upcoming sessions and feel very lucky to have found her!

    Highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled, and professional dog trainer.

    My 7-year-old chihuahua mix Harlow has always been reactive. She would exhibit uncontrollable barking when she saw any other dog. I've previously tried many different training tools and methods, but nothing worked for us. When I met Stephanie from Bark Busters, I knew this training was going to be different. She was so patient, knowledgeable, and professional and Harlow quickly formed a bond with her. Stephanie always came prepared with new training techniques to try and together we worked to eliminate Harlow's reactivity. The dog I have now is completely transformed. Family and friends have noticed a huge change in her from a frightened reactive dog to a friendly relaxed one. I can't thank Stephanie enough, her training has been truly life-changing.

    Jared, our dog trainer, is great! He’s very knowledgeable, but also applies what he knows to real world situations, when it comes to dog training! We’ve been working with him for about 3 months now, and the tools and techniques he’s given us have helped us to be more confident and understanding of our dog, Justice, in turn, helping Justice to be more calm and obedient around our family and friends.

    Robert is very knowledgable, patient,
    and caring. He carefully explains the
    program from human to dog point of view and what is expected. I can see small
    changes in the first visit. I can actually use
    the bathroom without barking or scratching
    at the door. I know it will take time but my
    dogs and I are up for the challenge. One of my goals for today is to copy the (bah) sound.

    Excellent! Carrie was knowledgeable, calm and patient. Ben took to the training and was noticeably different and more behaved by the end of the session. Thank you!

    Over the three sessions we've had with Michael we are very pleased with the results. Michael is working with our 6 1/2 year old Australian Labradoodle called Georgie.

    Michael was our last effort to try and get Georgies barking under control. Over the years we have tried other trainers, all of whom were top notch, but could not get the results we wanted. They did, however, help us with basic training skills. My wife and I were very skeptical as to whether anyone would be able to help us with the barking.

    After reading the literature and reviews about Bark Busters we decided we would try one more time.

    From the first meeting with Michael we knew this was going to be something totally new. His approach was completely different than anyone else before him. We spent the first couple of hours alone with him without our dog. He went over how Bark Busters worked and he answered all of our questions patiently until we got it. We had to change our thinking on how traditional dog training worked. We needed to understand how dogs communicate and how we can make them understand us in their language, not human language. Still not sure if this was going to work or not, we decided to put our faith in Michael and the program Bark Busters has developed over the years.

    At every step of this journey Michael has been patient and ready to lend support day or night. To say that we are satisfied with his approach and his relationship with us and with Georgie would be a tremendous understatement. Michael is always willing to talk us through a problem and never seems to be in a bad mood. He's full of energy and enthusiasm which gives us confidence that this will ultimately be a success. So far it definitely has been. We are happy to give Michael our highest recommendation.

    We were amazed how quickly we saw a change in our dogs in just a few minutes! Pascha was kind, patient and very instructive. We all feel a lot more in control of our home and are excited for our pups to feel safe and more confident.
