Keith truly has a way with dogs—he establishes clear leadership and helps Jaxson, our German Shepherd, understand what’s acceptable and what’s not.
PermalinkHe taught us effective methods to get Jaxsons’s attention - it’s all about how you communicate with your dog, and Keith helped us understand that. He also showed us exactly what to do when Jaxson pulls or barks during walks, and the improvement has been amazing.
Keith is incredibly patient, approachable, and always available if we ever need a refresher. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for real results with their dog!

Jef has been amazing. I am seeing such a big change in Silence! I am able to use my front door! Barking is getting under control and we are working on our walking confidence and behavior. Jeff's technique with Silence does not use any harsh treatments or punishments. He has simply taught me to communicate I want an unwanted behavior to stop. I can't wait to see the continued improvement and both of us become confident enough to walk the entire neighborhood.
PermalinkThank you for the kind words! Silence is such a good dog and you did a great job of showing him the leadership he needed.
thanks

Fabulous service, given what I saw today and the change in Bravo's behavior. His behavioral issues have all improved.

Hi Sharon - it’s Nettie. First I want to thank you sincerely for your time and talent yesterday in helping me with Harlee. Your patience and wisdom was amazing and much appreciated. Even when you think you’re an experienced dog owner you meet a pooch with special needs and you helped us get through to him in a kind and meaningful way to overcome his fears. Also - BTW we made it upstairs and downstairs last evening/ morning and we both had the best night of sleep in months. Thank you again from Harlee and me

One Month Later—Still Blown Away
PermalinkI wanted to wait a full month before writing this because I didn’t want to get too excited too fast… but I can say now, without a doubt: Patrick and Bark Busters are absolutely incredible.
If you don’t read any further, just know this—Patrick is the real deal. His guidance and the Bark Busters method made a noticeable difference in our home right away. But—and this is important—you have to do the work. There’s no shortcut. It takes consistency, every day, every moment. But if you’re committed, the results are real.
We have two Labs—one’s 3 years old and the other was 8 months when we reached out for help. We thought the older one was well-behaved because he was “calm,” but in hindsight… maybe not so much. Meanwhile, the puppy was jumping, barking at the door, overwhelmed by visitors, and hadn’t even been introduced to our older dog yet.
Patrick showed up and within minutes he helped us start “speaking dog.” The transformation with our puppy was almost immediate. He gave us tools to lead with clarity—not by being harsh, but by setting limits and being consistent. By the time Patrick left, the energy in the house was completely different. The dogs were calmer, and we felt more in control.
And yes—there’s homework. Every day. But it’s doable. And Patrick is always just a call or text away if you need help.
A month later, things are better than we could have imagined. The dogs are now introduced, they play together, hang out calmly, and we’ve set real boundaries that make everyday life much more enjoyable. Just this week we even realized our “well-behaved” older dog may have been part of the problem all along—turns out we had some habits to break too. Patrick helped us see that, and now we’re working on recall and public behavior with both dogs.
Bottom line: if you’re struggling at all—whether it’s big issues or just small things that are adding up—call Patrick. The Bark Busters system works, and Patrick really knows what he’s doing. We're so grateful we made the call.

NO WORDS can express our heartfelt gratitude for the GIFT of working with Greg Kleva and his team (11 yrs ago ). - I wanted to share the long-term review here. Our dog was an abused rescue and he was skittish. This was our first dog as well. Greg was the BEST choice EVER, and I swear if it wasn’t for Greg’s calm and commanding nature, he established immediate respect from Rebel. And he taught us how to continue.
PermalinkThrough MANY trials over the first 4 years of our pup's life, Greg used humor and firmness with both us and our dog, to get our dog to respect us, making us the Alpha. I had 2 other teachers from a local obedience class tell me my dog would end up in a shelter because he was untrainable. ENTER GREG Kleva BARKBUSTERS (recommended by our vet). He thought those comments were ridiculous that in fact EVERY DOG of any age can be trained.
Our vet said we saved Rebel's life twice due to Greg’s training. Rebel is honestly a great dog, due in large part to having a great trainer. I had referred Barkbusters several times through the years, and those dogs are ALL doing equally great.
There are trainers and there is GREG and his amazing team . I can't recommend them enough- their text/email support, their availability, all totally worth every penny. We get nonstop praise for HOW well-trained our dog is! The key is you need to listen AND IMPLEMENT all Greg says! And you will be rewarded with a lifelong amazing experience like we’ve had here, THANKS TO GREG KLeva and his Bark Busters crew!! Call them, you won’t regret it.
