    I do animal rescue and have found it difficult to train the dogs. Michelle came to my home and I was amazed at how she handled all of the pups. She is an exceptional trainer, very honest, and is an asset to your company. She showed and explained so many things to me that I was able to grasp many areas where I was not doing the correct procedure to keep the pups in tow and have them be civilized instead of in constant chaos. She showed me what to do and how to do it, and explained canine behavior in such a way that I was able to understand. I am in the process of doing what she said and so far so good. I am even learning how to growl and it works! Suprise! I have a way to go as I have 6 dogs. My last set of rescue dogs I used as therapy dogs, and I hope to do the same with these. Michelle is so optomistic, sincere and supportive. I really needed support also, which she graceously gave me as there are so many issues that evolve with rescued animals. I am learning to be the "pack leader",and that is new to me. Michelle explained it as parenting and it Clicked. Potty training is still the biggest issue, but I know that, too, will be resolved. Luckey for me that Michelle is in my area. She is the absolute BEST trainer I have ever worked with. Love her LOADS!!!!

    Photo of Christine is the best!!! Our German Shepherd had some aggression issues and in four sessions with Christine our GSD was doing fantastic. We are now able to manage his aggressive behavior easily and it occurs much less often. The more we work with him the better he/we get. Don't give up on your aggressive dog, Call Christine. She is awesome!!! We were immediately comfortable with Christine. She listened attentively to our concerns and issues. Our dog felt comfortable with this trainer sooner than he did with the previous trainers we had. I especially like that there are no pinch collars or treats used. We are very fortunate to have found Bark Busters.

    Although we had basic training some years ago, Sonja was great at refreshing us but not making it too lengthy. Great recap using visual aids. Sonja was so patient with both of us and the dog. Great re-assurance as we went through steps. The water spray bottle is our friend for life!
    After an initial disappointing experience some years back, Sonja has been great at restoring our confidence and has left us with great experiences and an almost perfect dog. We enjoyed Sonja's personality and her experience/advice was greatly appreciated and has helped us so much. Thank you!

    Ryan's demonstration on dog behavior and communication was highly informative and enlightening. Ryan showed me the keys to building trust and respect with my dogs, and also gave me insights into my dogs' negative behaviors individually, why these behaviors were taking place, and the steps to take to correct them. Thanks to Bark Busters, I now feel I have the confidence and skills going forward to be the leader my dogs need me to be. I work in a veterinary clinic, and I would definitely recommend Bark Busters to clients who have dogs with behavior problems, or who just need a hand with guiding their dogs. Thank you, Ryan!

    Matuse was possibly one of the worst behaved dogs on the planet before we met Ken. She barked, chewed, jumped our fence, chased the cats, wouldn't listen to any command and was so out of control, in every way that we were nearly ready to give up. We are seasoned dog owners and have successfully trained several other dogs in the past, but we couldn't seem to get through to this one. We called Bark Busters as a last ditch effort to keep Matuse. The results were so positive after our first session that we tell everyone who has ever met our "crazy dog" about the difference in her. Our friends and family cannot believe the difference they see in Matuse. My husband was sure that there was no help for this dog, but is now stating that she just may end up being the best dog that we have ever known. I cannot even begin to explain the difference that the techniques that Ken has taught us have made in our daily lives, but I can say that you will never regret the investment in a better behaved dog. Ken is amazing and delivers results beyond anything you could ever imagine. Ken's patience in helping our 12 yr old take command with Matuse is astounding! The dog that used to drag our son when he walked her, now heels when commanded to and sits when he tells her to. We can't speak to all Bark Buster trainers, but if you are fortunate enough to have Ken work with your pet, I'm certain your results will simply amaze you.

    Mark is a knowledgeable, caring, concise man and trainer. We enjoyed learning from him and our dog is learning to become confident and happy. The lifetime guarantee is worth any expense.

    If group training doesn't result in training your dog to your desired needs, then call Bark Busters! I called.

    Photo of We couldn't have asked for better than Scott to help us with the issues we're experiencing with Max our Boxer. From the moment he walked into our home it was clear that he was committed to ensuring we had all the tools we needed to get Max on the right path. We've had three dogs previously and all had been rescues like Max. Given our past experiences we believed we were adequately prepared for any situations. Not only did Scott help us understand our mistakes but also prepared us for the full range of issues we'd need to address and how to do so. In addition to being very experienced he was also a genuinely nice man and very pleasant to work with. At the end of our session we felt encouraged that we might actually be able to get Max's issues under control and avoid having to part with him. We simply can't thank Scott enough.

    We have seen improvements in the areas covered and we are excited to work on other behaviors. We have already recommended Bark Busters to family because of the personal attention and clear guidelines for the program. Most importantly, everything focuses on correcting in a positive way. Richard is extremely prompt, organized and always follows up. We have enjoyed working with Richard!
