I highly recommend BarkBusters without hesitation. Our trainer, Steve, has been incredible. Thanks to his guidance and the training sessions, our puppy has made tremendous progress. We have a household of three dogs, and it's been amazing to see how they have all improved with each session. What sets BarkBusters apart is their use of positive reinforcement without the need for collars or treats. It's all about love and positivity, which is something I truly appreciate. I always look forward to our training days and am grateful for all that Steve has taught us. Thank you, Steve, for your patience and expertise.

I thought that getting my four-year-old Cavapoo her own puppy would help with keeping her company when I would be at work or go out. The new puppy was a rescue, and it was an adjustment for all of us. Over the last year, these two amazing individual dogs started to rub off on each other in negative ways surrounding separation anxiety and excessive barking, to the point that even if I just walk toward the front door the barking is so bad it sounds like actual screaming. The barking was relentless for hours, with no break in between, when I would not be home. They began being triggered by every single noise they heard even if they were sitting next to me on the couch. I tried other dog trainers with no success until we met Steve. Steve’s consultation doesn’t just include explaining to you what the process will be like but he spends hours training you on how to regain respect and your alpha status again, as well as how to “speak canine” to your dogs. The way in which he taught me to communicate is different than anything I ever knew before, including from the trainers that I used in 2019 when I got my first dog. In just a couple of hours there were already significant obvious improvements in their behaviors. These situations are not only frustrating for owners, but no dog lover wants to know that their babies are suffering emotionally with anxiety and it can make you feel very helpless. I asked Steve if he taught Cesar Milan everything he knows because Steve is the first person I’ve ever seen connect with dogs the way I’ve seen Cesar for years watching him on TV. I’ve wasted money on people who truly had no effect, but I wasn’t ready to give up regardless of cost. You have to realize that this is an investment. Bark Buster is there for you indefinitely for the rest of your fur babies lives, and to support you as an owner too. I cannot say enough about my experience so far and would recommend 10 out of 10, all day! My best advice is, if you feel like things are hopeless, no matter what you’ve tried, don’t give up. Bark Busters absolutely will make it possible for you and your pet(s) to live a very happy and healthy life together!

It was very productive. There was already a result with our dogs to stop barking, stop stealing food, also addressed leash pulling.

Patrick was patient with us (and our dogs). We are looking forward to practicing what we learned and having a better relationship with our dogs.

We rescued Layla on 7/01/2023. She is a 2 year old Australian Shepard. After a year, she still had no social skills and would still bite me and attack me any chance she got. Only my brother could go near her. I was about to get rid of her until I saw an advert for Barkbusters. Soon as I met Steve I was comfortable with his demeanor. Steve immediately made me feel that Layla would learn whatever we taught her. It was communication problem. Layla didn't know how to be a pet. We had to teach her what we wanted from her. The difference after a month is truly amazing. Layla looks truly happy now. She is proud of herself for being a good girl. I am so glad that I have Steve in my corner. He is amazing at reading animals. We now have a healthy happy pet. She will bring us years of memories and happiness. It feels so good to see the changes in her. She wasn't happy with her life and it showed. If you have a problem dog, give them a chance and you will see how easy it is to change their behavior. I am so happy for Layla.

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).
