    Karen is a very good trainer! She explained everything very well! I was amazed at how the techniques worked so quickly. I'd recommend Bark Busters to anyone because they know how to "talk the dog talk!"

    Trainer Note:
    Bella is just entering her teenage years and like most preteen/teenagers, is "pushing the envelope" to see just how much she can get by with! After less than an hour of her owner communicating leadership on Bella's level, she was calmly lying by her new "boss" on the couch instead of bouncing around the house! Great job, Peggy! Keep up the good work!

    It was amazing how quickly Nigel responded to the techniques. We learned a lot of interesting information. I have, in fact, already recommended Bark Busters. We're looking forward to the next session!

    When Jim got to house, our 50 lb weimaraner was standing on the dining room table (per normal), by the time Jim left our house (a few hours later), our dog Ike was practicing waiting at the bottom of stairs until I told him he could come up. I would not have believed it if I had not been there!

    I was both surprised and pleased that Mimi learned so quickly.I also like training her w/o the lure of treats.

    Photo of Armani LISA WAS GREAT! Armani was a whole different dog by the next day! Training was easy to understand. Results were instant!

    There was a lot to work on and it went very quickly! Am thankful for them and am excited for follow up lessons.

    Photo of Dexter Kurt Schroeder of BarkBusters is absolutely fantastic. Our 2 year old pitbull responded from day one of his teaching and in just three visits, we have achieved a real level of understanding and communication with our dog akin to the likes of what Cesar Milan produces. Our pit thought he owned the house; my wife couldnt walk him because he would pull so hard. Visitors were harassed upon coming in. In three visits that is totally changed. He is quiet, attentive and defers to us whenever people come over.

    Contrary to other reviews here, a woman can use these commands with no intimidation at all. My wife who is 5'2" and less than 100 lbs can manage our pit (who is 70 lbs of steel) with little more than her voice.

    As far as Kurt is concerned he was always on time (in fact he was usually early). He is very responsive and even measured our progress with a grading system. Like anything else, you get out what you put in and this was a total win for us.

    Ask for Kurt by name and you wont be disappointed. Tell him Sean, Melissa and Dexter sent you!

    Patrick communicated very well the training techniques in a very interesting and understandable way. Lilah was actually walking by my side instead of pulling away. She was even doing better not jumping up on people when they came to the door. These (the Bark Busters) techniques seemed to work better than any I have used or seen. The lesson was very interesting and was enjoyable in that Lilah was responding. I recommend Bark Busters because it works! I have been working with Lilah daily and she just seems to improve so much each day!

    My dogs have always bombarded guests at the front door . In less than five minutes Michael had them sitting in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. Luke our 7 month old lab, who was the big trouble maker was instantly a believer. He behaved all evening. I tried to set him up just so I could correct him, I left food on the counter and all the things he loved to steal and chew up and he NEVER touched them. I was so happy all day I kept saying I am the top dog, I am the pack leader. I know that I have a lot of work to do, but I now enjoy it. I am confident that I will have the best behaved dogs on the block and I know that Michael is only a phone call away if I need him..Thank you so much Michael.
