My husband and I enjoyed meeting Patrick and we found both the dog psychology and hands-on training really understandable and easy to follow. Implementing the instructions is working well and our dogs are really getting it! We're very excited!!!

I highly recommend Patrick with Bark Busters above all the other trainers out there!! (and my black lab Nugget and I have worked with a TON of them!)
I was amazed by how calm, patient, understanding & effective his methods were. In a word - SIMPLE.
After my first hour lesson with Patrick I had more CONFIDENCE (and hope that things could change) than I ever dared dream!
Every time Patrick shows us a new training exercise, he explains why it works, watches us try it out, and provides pointers. He then sends us home with a "homework handout" to help remember what to do and why. . . It literally couldn't be any easier.

But let's be real - the only thing that matters are RESULTS and that's exactly what we've been getting!

I'm so relieved we finally found a great dog trainer... I only wish we had found Patrick and Bark Busters sooner!!

Patrick is an awesome trainer for you. He will teach you to speak "Dog" and become the "Leader" which in turns makes for a much happier and relaxed household. We did not "click" with the first dog training company we tried. So I tried doing youtube university which failed for me as well. No failure yesterday. In less than 3 hours, my dog was more relaxed and in the green zone than ever before.

I can't recommend Patrick highly enough. Within just one session, our 1-year-old Goldendoodle, Misha, has made incredible strides. There's no more pulling on the leash, he is more understanding of personal space, barking has significantly reduced, and overall obedience has greatly improved. Patrick is truly great at what he does and has made a noticeable difference in our lives.

Awesome first training session with Patrick at Bark Busters for my new, adult rescue pup who is a mixed breed, possibly shepherd, pit, and black mouth cur X. She has extreme separation anxiety. To the point of escaping basic enclosures, trying to break windows, tearing things up, and barking/ drooling constantly. She had to follow me around everywhere around the house when I was home, too. Today, we covered the basics and established that she is to get attention on my terms. I was leery at first thinking she would be afraid of me, but she actually is MORE excited when I call her now and the time together feels more rewarding for both of us. And she already respects my space indoors within 3 hours. I can walk outside a bit, but I haven’t gotten to the major steps yet of leaving her alone at home / addressing behavior at work or on car trips. I really believe I will resolve these issues after meeting my Bark Busters trainer again. She also appeared to be afraid of the crate at first but turns out it’s just anticipation of being alone and scared in it. Today, she actually went into her crate on her own to eat. She seems much more in tune with me and looks to me for direction now- which is the ultimate goal for everything. I’ve been given much valuable homework and will be getting as many visits as I need. But seems I may not need as many as originally thought, and she will be a well trained dog in no time! No need for treats, physical touch, a bunch of different words, or coercion. Just simple dog language. Bark Busters truly teaches this concept in an easy to understand manner and results are worth it! I’m so excited to start this new way of life with my new dog. This will be my first professionally trained dog, and I couldn’t feel more confident and proud to own a dog!

A fabulous first session with Patrick of Bark Busters. I have new dogs in training…as if by magic my doggos listened and responded. It really isn’t magic, it is hard work, consistency and layers. Patrick had me jump in to the deep part of the training pool immediately and begin our training. Wow! I LOVE the process!!!! Thank you Patrick for giving me the tools to get my sweet “soon to be better “ obedient dogs back!

Patrick’s a great guy and really good at what he does. He clearly explained the process and more importantly WHY we’re training that way - it really makes sense. I’ve got a 13 week old puppy and I just wanted to make sure I can set him up for success to have a great, safe life and Pat’s method is a great step in the right direction of building a great foundation for the little guy.

The Bark Busters methodology is about building a great relationship between you and your pup, which I can appreciate.

I’m sure Pat works with all dogs, and if you’re at all on the fence about hiring a trainer, don’t waste your time and just Give Pat a call - I promise it’ll be worth it.

Flynn, my Wheaten Terrier, barked, jumped and acted aggressive any time someone came to the door or approached the car. It was frightening, frustrating and at time scary.The change in behavior after one visit was amazing. I'm looking forward to following the recipe to a calm well behaved dog. If today is any indication of what that is like I'm going to have the dog I've always wanted.

I cannot recommend Bark Busters, and specifically Patrick enough. We have seen such an amazing improvement in Tully already in just a few short days! He walks better on the leash (I thought he was ok but was told I walk too fast so he was just keeping up) :-) I slowed down and now he's doing great. Door manners are almost a complete turnaround! Before we couldn't even let anyone in the house without him barking nonstop. We've had company stay over the weekend, and had someone come and do some work in the house and he was just amazing. i can't wait to see the continued improvement over time. The investment is so worth the stress removal. We already feel like we have a new dog and a better relationship with him.

Today I had the pleasure to have Patrick Logue, Behavioral Specialist @ Bark Busters in my home to meet my chihuahua, Lola and myself. Lola had a traumatic experience outdoors 5 weeks ago and would not go outside. Lola's veterinarian, Dr. Kim Seredick @ Treeline Animal Hospital recommended Patrick when I was ready for more professional help. Dr. "Kim " was awesome helping me through a trying time. Patrick was very helpful and provided excellent suggestions to help Lola get over her fear of going outside. Patrick listened carefully to me and was patient and thorough. I am grateful for Patrick and his calm demeanor. Thank you 😊

Patrick came to our house 1 week ago he spent 2 hours with my husband and myself. Our pup Stella is a 10-month-old Golden Doodle, extremely smart and sweet, but yet a puppy. Patrick explained the concept to us, it was simple, unbelievably easy to learn and to implement. Stella no longer jumps on us she no longer lunges on the leash, no more rushing the front door, now she's not perfect, we need to continue working with her daily, but the difference is night and day. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

After having dogs all of my life and being able to train them without issue, my family recently adopted a dog that defied logic. How can that much destruction, mayhem, and loud never ending barking come from one small thing that looks like a teddy bear? And how do none of my previous training methodologies work? And how can I have tried 2 different trainers before Patrick and Bark Busters and still have nothing work. My life and my house had been taken over by a 14.5 lb teddy bear who was the warden and we were the prisoners and no visitations were allowed. Patrick corrected a major miscommunication error and I feel confident my home will be my home and my dinner will be my dinner and we will also have a happy not yappy, healthy dog for years to come.

I barely have words to describe how amazing Patrick was. The strategies were both intuitive and effective in ways I wasn’t expecting. In just days the overwhelming majority of my fear was gone. My dog(Gunner) is a rescue and a really strong pitbull mix. As a disabled person, walking a dog that leash tugs is very worrying. Patrick had it fixed in minutes and gave me the strategies to work on it going forward. I’ve taken Gunner on walks over a mile long, and run into multiple triggers without any incident since our visit. And it’s only been a week. The security in seeing the changes within my dog an his actions has been so uplifting in knowing that this will work for the long term. Just seeing his anxiety drop as it’s easier for me to communicate with him has been great to see. I was worried how effective it would be, both for me and for Gunner. Understanding that the real goal is communicating on his level was the answer to getting my message through was a game changer. I really can’t say enough good about Patrick and Bark Busters.

We have a blue nose, pitbull, named Blue Bear. We were training him ourselves off of videos on YouTube. At six months old, I started looking for a trainer. It took me four months before I finally just told myself I had to pull the trigger and called Bark Busters and boy am I glad I got it right the first time. After just a couple of hours of training us, and reinforcing it with Blue Bear we had an entirely different dog that was calm, happy, and responsive to us. I did not believe that it would happen that fast. It was a joy to work with Patrick. He’s very dedicated to dogs and their parents. He explained everything to us, and answered all of our questions, and worked with us in our own home. It was a very seamless transition to a very well behaved loving dog when explaining why we needed to do the things we did. It all came together and made so much sense. I’m a retired nurse, and I do love to work with rationales behind what you do. My husband is very impressed which is hard to do. My daughter came over this morning and was amazed at how well behaved Blue Bear was. Looking forward to. Continued success with our beloved Blue Bear. Thank you Patrick, and Bark Busters.

Patrick, we wish we had found you months ago! We have a completely different dog as he is so calm and only after two days. The barking is almost gone, he no longer pulls on a leash and last night he slept all night in his playpen, without a whimper, for the first time. So we woke up with no accidents on the floor. It is truly amazing what we can be taught in our 70’s. Thank you a million times over.

Patrick has changed my life for the better in 2 short hours! My 3-month-old golden doodle, Maggie is so much more responsive on day 1 and I am sure it will continue as we do more. After one lesson she has been in and out of her crate twice today for an hour at a time with no crying and barking!

We are so excited to have received training from Patrick at Bark Busters. Our overall goal was to better communicate with our dogs, and to make them more comfortable with each other. (We added a new puppy, Arlo, to our pack, and he thought he was the alpha. He also had terrible separation anxiety from my husband which made it difficult putting him in his crate without whining, yipping, or barking, or walking him since he was pulling me so much).

Not only did Patrick help us better communicate with our pups, but he helped us lay a solid foundation for communicating our expectations with them. It has been a night and day difference! By “speaking dog”, we’ve established WE are the leaders of our pack. Our youngest pup seems to have less separation anxiety from my husband, which makes walking much easier and crate training a dream. He also seems to respond more reliably to our commands.

Even with our older pup, Riley - family members have commended her on not jumping and being much calmer. She has responded so well to this training.

Riley and Arlo both seem to be more comfortable with each other as well, making sure to take lead from us.

All of our problems are not fixed, but it is comforting to know what consistency of this training has brought us in so little time. We are excited to continue on this journey so that our dogs can be happier, and we can live happier lives with them.

Thank you Patrick/Bark Busters!
