In short: If there is any textbook case of a literal crazy dog being educated to understand my behavioral expectations of him, Keith from Bark Busters helped me achieve that.

My dog is a very anxious and wired 2.5 yr old GSD. I have never met another dog as aggressive towards strangers as my dog. He is truly the neighborhood-terrorizer. Here are a few things that Keith helped us with:

1. Having people inside the house - my dog will never be happy about it and won’t seek attention/pets, but he will now tolerate strangers in the house. We keep him on leash or in muzzle if he is on edge but it is a HUGE improvement, as I can now have family over.
2. Barking at strangers during walks - my dog used to be on alert if there is movement 5 blocks away. Now he is relatively relaxed unless they get within 50ft, for which his hackles will be up. However, if he starts barking, I use Keith’s correction strategy so that my dog stops almost right away and redirects attention.
3. Pulling on leash - my dog has knocked me to the floor before, while on a fitted HS prong collar. He is now off the prong collar and pulls minimally, only when he sees a particular tree he wants to pee on. Still training this but IMMENSE improvement.
4. Listening to my commands - my dog is pretty good at this because he wants to please me, but the “leave it” and “drop” command were always harder, especially during walks. Now with only a verbal correction, he listens on the 1st time.

My dog is not perfect but now we have a structured approach to work through tough situations. I am VERY happy with the training that me, my boyfriend and my dog received.

We were thrilled with our training session with Michael Konstantaras . Our 2 french bull dogs responded immediately to the coaching Michael provided . It was amazing. Michael at all times made sure we were understanding his methods . He was a gifted teacher both to us and to our dogs . He dispels the notion that you can't teach an old dog new tricks . We saw immediate positive results in our dogs behaviors . I highly recommend Michael too anyone looking for help ! Thank you thank you Michael !!!!!!!!!

Our two rescues needed to have some behaviors addressed, and we feel more comfortable now after our 3-hour session with them and ourselves than during the four years we have had them. They were feeling insecure and now we have the tools to help! Thank you!

Rascal and Roo responded very well during our first session today! We worked through their barking and door manners. They are fearful of new people and men! Today was the first time they had someone new in the home and didn't bark! Brad was very pleased with our progress today! Now with them being the leader in their life the dogs can finally relax and follow Brads lead!

I am in utter disbelief. Mason came yesterday. Currently I am sitting on the couch with my dog watching fireworks and she is not going ballistic! Mason is an excellent trainer… and who knew my dog could be so well behaved!! ❤️❤️

Missy is a great little pup! We addressed her overall behavior and planned for the future! We discussed socialization and addressed her baring at the door and leash manners. She responded very well during our first session today!

Oakley and Ghita responded very well during our first session! Ghita has been barking in the home and outside constantly for many years. Today was the first day she didn't bark when the doorbell rang! We addressed Oakley's leash manners and jumping with great success!

Joshua communicates very well. I felt comfortable on my initial call to Barkbusters when I spoke to his assistant. Today's training confirmed everything I was initially told. I was afraid I was going to have to give up my GSD, but now I am confident we will have many great years together!

Buddy Bear responded very well today during our first session. The biggest issue he was having was respect and leadership for his mom Janice. Today I taught Janice how to be a leader and how to guide and show Buddy! They both did really well today, and she was very happy because she thought she may have to get rid of him!

Burno has been struggling with separation anxiety and leash manners. Today we addressed these issues and also worked on his overall behavior. Now with his dad taking the lead Bruno is a much happier calmer pup! Saeid was very pleased with our first session! I am looking forward to their progress over the coming weeks.

Working with Reese today was great, she is an awesome lab that picks up quickly! She responded very well during our first session today! We worked on her door manners, greeting people, and leash manners! We also worked on recall today as well! James was really happy to see his pup come when called! She is going to be a star in no time!
