    Photo of Cooper / Peaches Josh was excellent. He took a lot of time to address the issues we have with our dogs, and we saw immediate results!

    Cooper has been refusing to eat out of his bowl and will only eat out of hand or of the floor. Today was the first day we were able to get him to eat from his bowl and Kent and Sherry were thrilled!!!

    Photo of Jules We knew we made the right decision in contacting Bark Busters from the moment Michelle walked through our front door! An impact was made as Michelle’s immediate guidance helped us to navigate how we reacted to our beagle Jules’ howling at the doorbell/unknown person in the house which ultimately settled Jules a bit; normally no easy feat!
    Michelle had a calm, self-assured demeanor in her approach to guiding our family in the relearning of how our behaviors affect Jules’ behavior which was eye opening!
    Putting the skills Michelle gave us into practice and under her supervision during our first session and seeing the difference in our interactions with Jules right away offered us the confidence and encouragement to continue and be consistent in this journey.
    Michelle has armed us with the knowledge and tools to be successful in our relationship with Jules, alleviating Jules’ anxiety and stress as we all claim our new roles in the Pack Hierarchy.
    Huge mahalos Michelle – we are so appreciative of everything we have learned and implemented thus far and for your support in our success!

    Thank you Veronica! Jules is such a sweet pup and I am so happy to hear that she is looking to all of you for guidance and that her stress and anxiety are being alleviated. You guys are doing great and I will always be here to help and support you in your success with her! ~Michelle PS She is just precious in this photo!

    Photo of Zeus Josh provided a lot of great insight into the underlying motivation behind many of the behaviors my dog was having. He did great explain what was going on and how to handle each situation.

    Zues is a amazing dog and responded very well during our first session. Matthew was very pleased with how he responded and how he had control over the front door for the first time in years! He couldn't believe it!

    Donald has been extremely helpful with Nomar's training. He is very patient and Nomar has been picking up the commands surprisingly quickly. Donald is always checking in and is very accommodating. I would highly recommend Donald and Bark Busters to family and friends!

    Living in Severna Park we had many options for dog trainers, but we are so thankful we chose Ben. After bringing home our fur baby to meet our new human baby, things did not go well. We feared the worst with what the future held for our dog. After 3 hours working with Ben our dog was completely changed. It was truly amazing what Ben was able to do to help us keep our ENTIRE family together. With the strategies that Ben gave us, we have continued to see progress with our dog!

    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

    Bonnie is amazing, within the first visit we saw major improvement in our doodle who had started showing signs of aggression. She gave us clear tips on reclaiming our “power in the pack” and explanations for his change in behavior. Bonnie is extremely reliable and always on hand to take questions or come back for a refresher. We can’t say enough good things about her!

    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.
