We had an amazing experience with Bark Busters and their trainer Ben Miller. Our 8 year old beagle has been having some leash aggression issues and we were not sure what to do after so many attempts to correct the behavior ourselves.
PermalinkBen first spent time with us giving us background information about the type of training we would be doing so that we would really grasp the concepts once we began working on them with our dog. In just the first exercise, we could see a response from our dog. It has only been a couple of days since the training and we are already seeing such a significant difference in our dogs behavior. Before this training, I was skeptical about any dog behaviorist making a difference especially since our dog is 8 years old. Now I am a firm believer. We now feel like we have the tools to keep our dog (and any dogs we have in the future) safe, happy, and out of trouble. What I particularly appreciated about the approach from Bark Busters is that we do not have to use shock collars or physical discipline to correct behavior. If you are having behavior issues with your dog, I fully recommend giving Bark Busters a chance and making the investment in your dog (and yourself).

I just can’t believe how much I leaned in just the first session. I am so excited to see my dog’s improvement and can’t wait for him to be his best little self. I would highly encourage you to chose Bark Busters! Thank you so much Justine!

Patrick was very patient and had a lot of useful information for us for our pup just only on day one! We can’t wait to see what the future holds with our training as we implement these daily activities into our routine.

Ben at Bark Busters is absolutely amazing and made our lives much less stressful for us and our dog Mika. We adopted a sweet lab mix who came with some quirks. She has a lot of energy and will play all day long if she could which would result in her barking incessantly at us until we would play fetch (even if we have already played for hours). Additionally, we had issues with her rushing the door while barking and jumping up on guests.
PermalinkLastly, Mika struggled greatly while walking on the leash. Although she is super friendly with dogs at daycare and other instances off the leash, if she saw or heard a dog within a 100 yards of us, she would pull, bark, lunge, and alligator roll on the end of the leash. Not only was this extremely embarrassing, but it is incredibly tiring to walk a dog who makes you feel like Steve Erwin capturing a wild alligator every time we see another dog.
We tried many training tactics including trying to distract her with her favorite human food and nothing was working. At this point, I found Bark Busters and I am so glad I did. Ben came to our home and spent 3 hours explaining how and why the methods taught at Bark Busters works along with training us how to communicate with Mika. Ben showed us a few simple commands, not 20 different commands to memorize and make sure you are doing right.
The results were immediate and lasting. Our first training session was three months ago and Mika is so much more relaxed and well behaved in the house. No more incessant barking to play and rushing the door to bark at and jump on guests. She is the same sweet Mika that loves to play and get love from everyone, but now she is more relaxed and waits for permission from us. Even skeptical family members were extremely impressed with the results of Mika's training.
A few weeks later, we had a second session with Ben to work on walking on the leash. Although Mika is not perfect on the leash quite yet, we have made so much improvement and we are still getting better! We are now at the point where Mika will make a lot of stressful noises and pull some while walking past another barking dog, but she is no longer alligator rolling and lunging like crazy while making scary barking noises. She also goes back to being relaxed so quickly instead of barking for ages after the other dog is gone. We are so proud of her continuing improvement on the leash.
Lastly, but most importantly, all of Ben's training methods deal with proper communication and not scaring or hurting dogs. No shock collars, or choke chains, just clear communication. Our only regret was not calling Bark Busters sooner, so if you are on the fence just do it. It is worth increasing the quality of life for you and your dog.

Nathan is a Husky Whisperer! For those of you who don't know how hyper and stubborn huskies are. Nala (16 mo old) is not jumping, pulling, being overly needy, and is walking on leash! We're working on chewing (today's lesson)
PermalinkThe training makes total sense and he gives you the WHY behind why the do what they do and how to counter that behavior. She's exhausted and napping after each session. Thanks Nathan. See ya in few weeks!!

Ben did a great job explaining how dog’s think. The training techniques he taught us worked! Our 2.5 year old golden doodle responded instantly. Thank you. Looking forward to continuing to work with you.

Wow! So much more productive than we imagined just one session could be! What we learned, that we will use with our 3 GSDs forever, is a game changer!! Thank you!!
