Chris was exceptional!!! Our first visit was comprehensive, addressing our collie's reactive behaviours and history. During subsequent visits he patiently used multiple strategies to train both our dog and his owners. We highly recommend Chris to dog owners who experience difficult dog behaviour patterns. Thank you, Chris.

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.

Wow. Talk about immediate results. I now have the tools to reinforce what I learned in ways that Aisha and Gordo understand. It’s like a new language in “dog speak”. I could hardly believe how quick they picked up on it. If you need help communicating with your dog, these are the people to call.

When I tell you how SHOCKED we are with how behaved our dogs are acting after ONE training session!
PermalinkScot was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also very personable. After a meet and greet over Zoom, Scot comes to YOUR home where your dogs are most comfortable. We are so pleased with all of the training techniques he taught us and the dogs! Scot diligently answered all of our questions and made sure there were no gray areas.
For some background, we have two dogs. One is almost a year old, and the other one has some aggressive behaviors towards her little brother. By the end of our first session, both dogs were sitting up on a beanbag together, sniffing and licking each other. Scot is truly a lifesaver and gives you all the tools you need to get through to your dogs.
If you have dogs in need of training and don’t want to rely on treats for your dog to listen to you, Scot is your guy.
All of Scot’s techniques are catered towards the dog. No fear, no physical, completely verbal and tapping in to the psychology of the dog.
We are truly so pleased and are so excited to continue working with Scot through their lifetime guarantee.
We are so thankful, thank you Scot!
