    We adopted a 10-month-old hound mix, and as first-time dog owners, our trainer, Chris, has been instrumental in our training process. He’s always available via text if we have any questions, and he meets with us regularly. From the time the first time we met with Chris, our ability to communicate with our dog increased significantly. Chris listens to us and our dog and helps us determine the best way to navigate his behaviors. We highly recommend him to any first-time dog owners or anyone in general who is looking to understand their dog better.

    My husband and I are beyond grateful for Kyle at Bark Busters for helping our dog, and for helping us be what we needed to be for our dog, Andy. Our fur baby has been our world, but he has struggled with aggressive behavior for years. Prior to Bark Busters, we spent thousands of dollars on dog training that relied on a punishment system, but in the end, it only made his aggression to strangers worse. Fast forward, my husband and I started a family, and that’s when the aggression started to increase because he became extremely protective of me during my pregnancy. With this change, ultimately we had to have a hard conversation like most parents would in our situation, but we wanted to give him another shot because he’s our family. We made a commitment to him. Thank god we did! Our sweet boy has made so much progress after just TWO sessions! We did our homework with him and I have never seen a dog so receptive to this form of training. With the use of behavioral therapy with gentle corrections, we were able to see what he was doing and why, in order to help him see he didn’t need to protect and resource guard me from strangers. All in all, I’m beyond grateful Kyle was able to keep our family together.

    Training with Michael has been incredible so far. I feel so grateful this is the company I decided to go with. The theory works.

    I had a great experience with Michael of Barkbusters. He was very patient and gentle with Teddy and left us with some great exercises to practice. Grateful to Michael for all his help.

    Sharon is excellent, and we would absolutely recommend her services to others. We reached out to her for assistance with our six-month-old golden retriever. Sharon is very responsive, thorough, patient, and kind, and she explains the rationale behind dog behaviors. She taught us how to communicate with our puppy in a way she would understand. Additionally, there are no fear-based tactics and you do not have to rely on treats to correct behavior. Sharon remains flexible and available for ongoing needs and provides several supplemental materials for ongoing reminders. We saw immediate improvements in our ability to communicate with our puppy and in our puppy’s behaviors after the first meeting. Another big perk is that the training can be ongoing (if needed) for the life of the dog. I am so thankful that we found Sharon!

    So simple and what you would assume to be obvious teachings that worked on first session.

    We’ve only had the one session so far with SHARON for our SANDY and she’s done a great job training ME to be more consistent with direction with clear body language to take back my role as the ALPHA. Only one day of using her techniques and already SANDY is not testing ME, As an adolescent English Cream Golden Retriever, he’s looking to ME for direction 👍🎉 Thank SHARON.
