Paul and Bark Busters have been great to work with. Great communication to get started. Face to face training with owners and dog(s) very helpful. Thorough explanation and hands on instruction. Began to see improvements immediately. Very exciting! Learning a lot and seeing more and more improvement in behavior, listening, etc. Wish we would have found Bark Busters sooner, as our dog was 5 years old when we started. Highly recommend Paul and Bark Busters! Thank you!

Omar has been amazing with helping us tame these two wild beasts! We didn't know either puppy's past but we knew it wasn't good since they were both dog reactive and scared of new people. Omar helped us learn how to "speak dog" and understand their needs and then how to to help them to trust again.

We learned how to claim an area claim a door and walk the dog.

Today we worked on someone ringing the doorbell with our three labs. My dogs have the most reactive issues when the doorbell rings. My family and I all noticed a huge difference in how they reacted when the doorbell rang. No barking and they stayed on the couch.

Dalila is a gifted dog trainer. She has been working with my husband and me and our 4 year-old mini labradoodle for several months. We've seen improvement in our dogs demand barking and are starting to tackle some of the deeper separation anxiety issues our dog has had since being a puppy. Dalila is patient, kind, and great at communicating. She never seems rushed and checks in via text between visits, which we appreciate. Dalila is gentle yet firm with our dog and has helped us feel more comfortable dealing with our dogs challenges.

Most dog training is about training the owner. This system is no different. I'm sure if you follow it, you'll have a dog who appears well behaved... you just may not be allowed to interact with your dog in the way YOU prefer to.
PermalinkMy problems with the system and the company are as follows:
- The system is based on a certain way to give your dog attention - it doesn't adapt to YOUR personality as a pet owner. If you like to give your dog a pat on the head when they come and request one, this is not the system for you.
- The system is based on a key correction word and movements that escalate in volume and involve assertive charging or stomping movements. Being the whole point of my search for training was I wanted LESS volume and less physical action to correct, this system works in a very opposite way.
- The company (or at least my assigned trainer) WILL NOT proactively schedule sessions. It's all "needs based" - so you have to reach out if you want another session and they will not schedule any future sessions in advance. The trainer also implied that he'd check video and email descriptions BEFORE coming back to my home, essentially making me feel like it would be a chore to get him to come back if I wanted him to.
- Other correction tools offered like squirt bottles and noise makers are pretty standard to any kind of training. There's nothing overall unique here that makes it feel worth the price.
All in all, I don't think this system is a good fit for the way most modern dog owners prefer to interact with their dogs and there isn't anything special that differentiates this system from others. For me, absolutely not worth the money.

Miguel provided a great session. I have an older dog which I thought I’d have to deal with a few issues for the rest of the dogs lifetime. However, Miguel was able to help me improve his walking, actions at the door around visitors and also my communication with my dog. Looking forward to getting my dog from a few issues to none. Looks like the old dog is learning new stuff and quite easily. I also really like the style of communication over treat training.

Rio was showing some aggressive behaviors towards other dogs, particularly when we were on walks. He would also bark and jump all over guests when they came over. In just one lesson, and I do mean one lesson, I saw a major difference in Rio's behavior. I tried so many different training programs and this one is different. It works consistently, it isn’t treat based and doesn’t require much more than your voice and your body, and really is so simple.Thank you Kyle for helping Rio and I!!!

Karen was very informative. Body & dog language is key.
