    Mike Shamp was very thorough, repeating when necessary because of my orbital deafness, I noticed results in both the dog and in myself, the techniques are very logical to me and apparently to the dog, I learned at least as much as the dog. I have already recommended Bark Busters to a next door neighbor.

    We saw instant sign of respect as soon as the techniques were used! Karen was very helpful and knowlegeable!

    Trainer Note:
    Roscoe doesn't have the temperament to even want to be in charge and appeared most grateful when the owners took that "job" away from him. One could see that he wondered what just happened! He'll be so happy when he realizes they can keep him safe, now!

    We were very impressed with the patience and presence of our therapist. We are very excited about the help we've found and can't wait to see the results of this partnership. Unbelievable progress in such a short amount of time.

    Used example we could relate to-gave us a reason as to why his techniques work. Huge improvement walking on the leash! Our dogs are finally listening to us. Dogs were finally walking with us just by us being their leader! great concept! The time flew by! Very interesting and informative. Enjoyed the 1st lesson and look forward to lesson #1

    Bark Busters has very easy and simple terminology and training techniques to follow. We saw immediate differences in behavior aright away from both dogs; however, one is a little more stubborn than the other. He will take more training to fully redirect. We were very pleased with the natural techniques used.

    Trainer Note:
    These guys were great! They have two small breed dogs that, together, believe they are the gang from hell! After trying a couple of varying techniques, we found the ones that worked for the dogs' temperaments and put the reigns back in the hands of the owners! With consistency and practice, they are going to have two super pups to have in the home!

    Karen took a lot of time to explain the training techniques until we felt comfortable. Our dog seems calmer, more focused and most respectful in just one evening. She reacted more quickly to these techniques than any we've used in the past. We learned so much about Stella and how she views us. Karen is amazing!

    Trainer Note:
    After almost 10 years in this business, I still get a charge out of seeing a dog with multiple serious issues morph into a relaxed, focused pet almost immediately when the owners step up and take charge as pack leaders! Great job, guys!

    Ruth knows her stuff !! Our puppy responded to the training right away. Every time we meet with Ruth, as our puppy gets older, we come up with a new action plan which helps a lot. We like how respectful the training techniques are.

    My wife and I have an 11 month old Boxer puppy. He is the sweetest, cutest dog you can find. We got our puppy when he was very young, and as sweet as he was/is, man did he have crazy energy! And I wish it was the high-energy that was the problem...Dexter (our dog) began jumping on guests, getting too rowdy, not listening, showing zero respect, etc, etc. We got to a point where we really felt that we could not do all of the things that we dreamed we would be able to do with a dog. Due to the fact that we could not get his attention, and he did not respect us, we could no longer: take him on walks, take him to dog parks, invite guests over who did not appreciate a dog jumping all over them the whole time, take him on trips, and pretty much everything else fun! His lack of respect and attention resulted in us being frustrated and stressed out, but more importantly it resulted in him getting himself in positions where he could be harmed.

    So, we decided to get serious and find help for Dexter. And after a long and careful research process, we landed on enlisting the services of Justin and Bark Busters. We did not know what to expect, but we knew that we did not want to take Dexter to a class with a bunch of other dogs, we wanted personal attention. We wanted a professional to come to our house, meet our dog, learn about all of his behavior issues, and create a training curriculum that is specific only to my dog! And I will tell you we have not regretted it one bit! Justin has not only helped our pup, but he has helped us be able to implement the training on our own. We can now enjoy our dog for the sweetheart that he his, and we can take him fun places that he too can enjoy!

    If you are anything like me, and you need more than just a great review in order to make a decision, let me tell you a bit more about our experience:
    Justin will be the first to tell you that he is not a miracle-maker dog whisperer. If there are issues between us and our dogs, it is mainly because we do not understand how to communicate with them, and they do not understand anything we are saying/doing. Justin taught us how to talk to our dog, how to establish control, and how to understand Dexter's personality so that we are correctly teaching him what is right and what is wrong. We used to get so frustrated with Dexter, he wouldn't listen, he did not have any respect for us, and he had no boundaries. I remember the most rewarding moment was after Justin's first visit; right after he left the house, we saw immediate improvement in Dexter's behavior. That moment where my wife and I looked at each other and said "Look at this! Dexter is totally minding us, and he is respecting our boundaries!" Each time Justin came over we worked on something new. He always came prepared with his next exercises, but he also made sure that we worked on anything else that we felt like working on as well. He always answered his phone, and he was picked right up where he left off the time before. Best money we ever spent! We started using Bark Busters in late August, here we are 2 months later, and our puppy has improved by leaps and bounds! Justin has mad us happy, and he has made our Dexter very happy!

    Photo of Liam Richard had been very clear in the instruction and makes sure you are able to perform the steps yourself. Most of the time Liam picked up the lessons during the sessions, sometimes better w/trainer, but overall very well. We like the positive, non-reward based training. Richard is patient and always has time to answer our questions. We have definitely seen Liam make huge improvements since we started!!
