    It was amazing! Penny seemed like an entirely different dog! It was amazing that just a few simple changes could make such a difference. We did two rounds of obedience school before Bark Busters and we got WAY more out of our training sessions with Ken. A great investment!

    Showed us what to do and helped us use the techniques.
    'Snowball' - she was a lot calmer and attentive.
    Simple techniques and easy to learn.

    Photo of Thor and Maverick Let me first start off by saying how amazing Michael is. After adopting Thor we found out he was an excessive barker, leash aggressive, jumping, hyper dog. We did training and hired trainers, coins in a can and the famous ignoring. We socialized him and everything and all of a sudden it was bad. He couldn't be brought to a pet store or anything because we didnt know what could happen. When he saw a dog it was like he wasnt going to give up until he got at them. Nothing worked. We thought we would never get his barking habit solved either. We also adopted a lab puppy Maverick who is a scared solider. He isn't the most friendly to people especially men and had a tendency to want to stand his ground after his unknown past that we aren't sure of. After researching the next step we came across Michael and yes at first we were a little skeptical thinking how can it get fixed or even helped? But at that point we were willing to try anything. So we did. We contacted him and he met with us as soon as possible and I couldn't express enough how grateful and thrilled we are that we did. He sat with us went through our problems throughly, explained the process and the exercises. He did examples and it worked. To this moment I still can't believe it. He is great, personable, hands on, charismatic and experienced. He knows what he is talking about, has an experience and takes it seriously. You couldn't ask for a better person to help you out with your problems. Thor and Maverick both submissed, respected us and felt as we are the pack leader. We look forward to continue to work with them and live as a happy family. Thank you so much Michael you are a life saver!

    Whilst explaining the training techniques, I felt Colin was very thorough and patient, repeating things in a different way when necessary. Mulligan hasn't barked when anyone comes to the door once since the trainers were here, Baxter will take a little more time. I found a huge difference in Mulligan in all areas already. Baxter is proving to be more of a challenge.

    Trainer Note:
    This Review was submitted after just one lesson of a Two Dog - Silver Program. We expect further progress at our next lesson later this month, when we shall concentrate more on Baxter. This client came to us as a direct referral from her caring veterinarian.

    Trainer Note:
    Chief thought he was named appropriately! He thought he was THE chief in charge of his new human-dog pack and at 8 months of age, he believed he was too cute to resist! Imagine his surprise when all of the adult humans in his family rearranged the hierarchy to lower his rank! He resisted at first, but their persistence and consistency paid off! Now Chief is just happy to be part of a family where he can just relax, look cute, and leave all of the running of the household to the humans! That's a win-win!

    We love Rick & the techniques he taught us. There was a difference overnight in our dog -- literally! We will be able to apply these skills for the rest of our dog-owning lives. Thank you!
