    Trainer Note:
    Strong-willed little dog who wanted to take charge until he realize that "his people" could handle it! He almost seemed relieved at the end of the training

    I saw a change in my puppy's biting behavior immediately! Bark Busters has a very interesting technique!

    Trainer Note:
    I look forward to helping them gain focus, respect and obedience from their pup! He's only 12 weeks now, but a very bright and trainable little guy! I'm sure they will get amazing results!

    Deb was fantastic. I can't believe the difference in Juno, and there were improvements after the first visit. Deb explained Juno's behavior and gave me many exercises to correct the issues Juno HAD. Very thorough, caring and I highly recommend Deb Boswell as a trainer.

    Photo of Gunny & Elvis John was great! He was very friendly and took the time to explain how everything worked. The dogs are walking much better on the leash and getting along much better. The non-physical dog training techniques were very easy to do and came naturally to both us and the dogs. The training experience was fun and relaxing. John was in total control of the dogs. John let us know that our instincts about our dogs were right and taught us to be confident and in control of our dogs.

    Photo of Kopa and Simba Sharon truly has a gift. I have two non-trusting chihuahuas: a 10 yr old and a 6 mo old. I initially requested service for the puppy. Within 10 minutes, it was clear that my puppy was looking to my older dog, and the older one was teaching my puppy bad habits and needed training also. I thought it was too late for a 10 yr old who has always feared and barked at strangers, but he was quite responsive to Sharon. She was quite soothing for them both, which enhanced their ability to learn the tasks being taught. Within a short period of time, I was taught skills that allowed me to be in control and not controlled. I could turn off the barking and get them to walk with a loose leash. I was also impressed with the fact that canine communication, not treats, was the tool used for behavior modification. I felt like I was in a session with Cesar Milan!!!!
    Thanks Sharon!

    Photo of Jem & Scout I originally contacted Bark busters to help me with my 15 month old Yorkie, Scout's food aggression. Since the moment Rob Machi walked in, with his calm yet assertive demeanor, my dogs immediately knew he was the boss and listened to him! He explained everything very clearly and left me with detailed instructions. I saw an immediate change in one visit! It is definately a work in progress, but at least I know now how to get my dogs to listen to me! I also now have Jem's barking when someone enters the house under control with one word and Rob witnessed it on his second visit. Rob has made himself available saying I can contact him at anytime with any concerns. I will definately recommend Rob Machi and Bark busters to anyone who needs help with their four-legged family members!

    Our first session was amazing. After the teaching of a few leader traits our dogs began responding almost instantly to us.

    I am in awe of how effective this training system is....I thought I'd have to get rid of one of my dogs as they were fighting between them and with other dogs and it was getting increasingly worse. Marsha Engel came out and explained how and why dogs fight and how I needed stronger leadership to overcome these issues. I can already see a difference in my dogs!

    Photo of Freddie and Fiona Jan, Thank you for all you have taught us during our sessions. All four of us have made a lot of progress. Freddie is no longer shaking in fear all the time, and Fiona is much calmer and more manageable. You're the best!
