Choco was able to catch up on listening and adapting. The Bah technique and water spray show an improvement in him not running outside and how to react when someone knocks. Needs more practice when going on walks but overall picks up on the techniques.

Fabulous service, given what I saw today and the change in Bravo's behavior. His behavioral issues have all improved.

Hi Sharon - it’s Nettie. First I want to thank you sincerely for your time and talent yesterday in helping me with Harlee. Your patience and wisdom was amazing and much appreciated. Even when you think you’re an experienced dog owner you meet a pooch with special needs and you helped us get through to him in a kind and meaningful way to overcome his fears. Also - BTW we made it upstairs and downstairs last evening/ morning and we both had the best night of sleep in months. Thank you again from Harlee and me

Keith truly has a way with dogs—he establishes clear leadership and helps Jaxson, our German Shepherd, understand what’s acceptable and what’s not.
PermalinkHe taught us effective methods to get Jaxsons’s attention - it’s all about how you communicate with your dog, and Keith helped us understand that. He also showed us exactly what to do when Jaxson pulls or barks during walks, and the improvement has been amazing.
Keith is incredibly patient, approachable, and always available if we ever need a refresher. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for real results with their dog!

Jef has been amazing. I am seeing such a big change in Silence! I am able to use my front door! Barking is getting under control and we are working on our walking confidence and behavior. Jeff's technique with Silence does not use any harsh treatments or punishments. He has simply taught me to communicate I want an unwanted behavior to stop. I can't wait to see the continued improvement and both of us become confident enough to walk the entire neighborhood.
PermalinkThank you for the kind words! Silence is such a good dog and you did a great job of showing him the leadership he needed.
thanks
Jef

One Month Later—Still Blown Away
PermalinkI wanted to wait a full month before writing this because I didn’t want to get too excited too fast… but I can say now, without a doubt: Patrick and Bark Busters are absolutely incredible.
If you don’t read any further, just know this—Patrick is the real deal. His guidance and the Bark Busters method made a noticeable difference in our home right away. But—and this is important—you have to do the work. There’s no shortcut. It takes consistency, every day, every moment. But if you’re committed, the results are real.
We have two Labs—one’s 3 years old and the other was 8 months when we reached out for help. We thought the older one was well-behaved because he was “calm,” but in hindsight… maybe not so much. Meanwhile, the puppy was jumping, barking at the door, overwhelmed by visitors, and hadn’t even been introduced to our older dog yet.
Patrick showed up and within minutes he helped us start “speaking dog.” The transformation with our puppy was almost immediate. He gave us tools to lead with clarity—not by being harsh, but by setting limits and being consistent. By the time Patrick left, the energy in the house was completely different. The dogs were calmer, and we felt more in control.
And yes—there’s homework. Every day. But it’s doable. And Patrick is always just a call or text away if you need help.
A month later, things are better than we could have imagined. The dogs are now introduced, they play together, hang out calmly, and we’ve set real boundaries that make everyday life much more enjoyable. Just this week we even realized our “well-behaved” older dog may have been part of the problem all along—turns out we had some habits to break too. Patrick helped us see that, and now we’re working on recall and public behavior with both dogs.
Bottom line: if you’re struggling at all—whether it’s big issues or just small things that are adding up—call Patrick. The Bark Busters system works, and Patrick really knows what he’s doing. We're so grateful we made the call.

We recently had our first training session with Sharon Kondash, and I can't recommend her highly enough!
PermalinkOur session lasted a little over three hours, during which Sharon immediately put us at ease with her warm and approachable demeanor.
As the owner of an 18-month-old Standard Poodle, we were eager to address some behavioral concerns, particularly regarding socialization with other people and animals. Sharon provided us with invaluable insights into Odin's behavior and gave us practical strategies to implement in various scenarios. Her knowledge and expertise were apparent as she tailored her advice to meet Odin's specific needs.
What impressed us most was Sharon's ability to break down complex concepts into actionable steps. She equipped us with "homework" exercises to work on before our next session, ensuring we had a clear path forward to help Odin grow and thrive.
Overall, Sharon's guidance and support have been instrumental in our journey with Odin.
We look forward to continuing our training with her and seeing the positive changes in Odin.
If you’re looking for an experienced and compassionate dog trainer and behaviorist, look no further than Sharon Kondash and Bark Busters.
