    Ben Miller is a patient young man. Our corgzilla is (WAS!!) a biter, barker, jumper and all around terrible fur kid—until my husband Tom found Bark Busters. Captain Kitsune (the corgzilla) had an amazing epiphany while Ben worked with us (10 minutes to train the dog—3 hours to train the humans ...) but the transformation is incredible. Captain Kitsune is now a beta male and drinks soy lattes so he can continue sharing a home with me. He has not once tried to dominate, bite, bark incessantly or rush past me to get outside.
    I cannot thank Ben and the Bark Busters for saving my sanity and this dog’s life. Tom is also very happy because he can keep his furry buddy and doesn’t have to listen to my kvetching about the dog anymore. I recommend this family of trainers to anyone.

    Holly (old friend from college) came to visit at the perfect time, when we'd just adopted a new puppy. She spent a lot of time with me, teaching me how to "speak dog." She was great at demonstrating training techniques then letting me give it a go and then showing me how to correct our dog's behavior. in the moment. Bark Busters' approach is so logical! I'm excited to have these tools - our dog's behavior is much improved and getting better still every day.

    Kyle was amazing! After contacting several training companies we went with Bark Busters solely because of how much time they took with us on the phone during the initial phone call explaining their services and answering our questions. Kyle was prompt, friendly, immediately affectionate with our dog, and understanding of our many questions. After quite some time of us explaining our issues and our dog’s issues ….and Kyle explaining his services, Kyle closed his book, put his pen down, and advised us to do what was best for the dog at this point. Our new rescue has some newly diagnosed medical issues that seem to coincide with some of his behavioral issues. Kyle, being aware of animal behaviors, advised us to not go any further with his program, and first deal with our sweet dog’s medical issues. It was his suggestion to put our training on hold, and concentrate on assuring our dog’s health. We were very impressed by this caring act, and we are looking forward to soon being able to contact Kyle to continue the Bark Buster’s training. This was a true demonstration of Kyle’s (and Bark Busters) ultimate goals…what is best for all.

    Photo of Sprocket Rob was able to connect and reach Sprocket so easily. To see our dog lower his guard and feel secure was such an incredible feeling.

    Photo of Hopper, Harry & Buddy Very easy and clear instructions. Very thorough demonstration and then had us show we knew what to do. Marc made sure we achieved the goals of the session. He gave good examples of issues and how to stop unwanted behaviors and praise good behaviour.

    Photo of Sky, Boomer & Tucker We are extremely pleased with this program. Ben was extremely knowledgeable and a very patient teacher. It was amazing to see our dogs respond to the techniques that he taught us. Although, it’s only been a few days we can already see a difference. I feel confident that this program will work, but it’s also good to know that Ben is only a phone call away. We would definitely recommend Ben to everyone.

    Photo of We have two dogs but needed the most help with our 3 year old Brittany….Ginger. For those of you that are familiar with that breed, you clearly know how energetic and spastic they can be. We had a Brittany before, but Ginger has exceeded the craziness. She had a bad habit of counter surfing in the kitchen while we were cooking. As much as we yelled at her, that bad habit continued. Walking her was exhausting. The minute she got outside, her nose led the way. She would pull so hard, and if a car drove by, she would bark and try to dart at the car. That was really nerve wracking because one day if we didn’t have complete control of her leash, she definitely would have been hit. We finally decided to hire a dog trainer. We hired James with Bark Buster. The best thing about his tactics, is that we are not just attending typical training classes teaching dog obedience. Most dog training classes have a generalized training outline. James customized the training needs based on what we wanted to be corrected. We successfully keep the dogs out of the kitchen during any cooking process. We can now walk the dogs and there is absolutely no pulling. They no longer control us while in the house or during the walks. Both dogs now understand that we are the pack leaders and that we control our expectations of them. In the end, it was my husband and I that really needed the training. We are both thrilled at the results and look forward to finally enjoying calmer walks and more peaceful times within the house.

    Photo of Elle / Zo Everything was addressed so well. He took the time to listen and learn before even starting with our dogs. The training is gentle and effective and seems like it will affect long term behavior really positively. We are so happy!!

    Trainer Note:
    Really great session today! We addressed Zo's door manners and barking. We also setup a plan for Elle as she is a puppy and needs good structure and basics. Today we addressed a lot of these issues as well. Elle picked up very fast and moving forward she will continue in the right direction now that Cathy has the knowledge.
