Scott is a great trainer.
Our dog Velma is a rescue that is anxious and all bark no bite. When we first got her, should would bark her head off at every new person that came into the house, absolutely no way to calm her.
Since working with Scott, we have learned several tips and tricks to get her to be more calm and welcoming towards guests. We have been able to have little get togethers and family stay over with no problems now.
Before, on walks, it was so hard to walk her. She was nonstop barking and whining and we could not get control of her. It made me not want to walk her at all.
Now walking has been so much easier.There is still a lot work that needs to be done with walks but walks are no longer a battle. I know what to do in order to gain that control and her focus, making the walk stress free.
We appreciate Scott’s support during this entire journey. With this lifetime training, we know we have the support from Scott.
Scott immediately helped with my dog’s separation anxiety. I couldn’t leave the house without her and within three days she stopped barking/crying at the door when I left.. she obeys me and realizes that I am in charge :) thank you Scott! You changed our lives!
Scott is a great trainer! My dog Brinkley is very anxious and I am not a consistent trainer. Scott is very patient and gives us a lot of helpful practices to correct Brinkley’s behavior and help alleviate his anxiety! We have had a handful of training sessions with Scott and Brinkley responds really well to him. He has taught me more about dogs body language and the way they think which has helped a ton since I interpret my dogs feelings as I would a human which of course is not the case. Huge help and cannot recommend him enough!
We hired Scott from Bark Busters for help training our dog "Chacho". We needed help with loose leash walking, doggie manners/boundaries, repetitive commands and separation anxiety. Scott was able to determine it was not truly separation anxiety but immaturity and boredom. As for the other issues we have seen a complete turn around. Chacho is not yet perfect, but the difference is incredible. Recently we took a trip to a relatives house and Chacho was a dream. We no longer fear walking past a squirrel or another dog as Chacho looks to us for his guidance. No longer do we worry about him bouncing out the door when we open it to get in groceries or to go outside, and he is a gentleman when guests arrive.
His method of teaching is cruelty free and does not involve the use of e collars or chokers.
Although it is a bit pricey the lifetime guarantee and the results are well with it. My wife and I would and will recommend Scott to others for their pet obedience needs.
Our dog, Mojo, is for the most part a good and well behaved dog, but he has had issues with aggression toward other dogs and barking at anyone outside the house (from inside the house) among other bad behaviors. Basically, he is very territorial and protective of his space and "things". We introduced another dog to our home and things have been very stressful, with us trying to manage space and location of the dogs 24/7. Scott came earlier this week and a miracle happened. I don't want to exaggerate, but it seems like that to us. Using the techniques and training Scott taught us, we have already seen a significant difference in just a couple of days.
As an example, one of his favorite things in the world is to sit at the edge of our backyard, which is adjacent to a hiking trail up to Green Mountain. Any time a person (with or without a dog) is walking on the trail, he barks incessantly. We have tried to get him to stop for years and often walk down to him from the house, but nothing worked. Yesterday morning he was barking, from his spot, at a couple of dogs being walked on the trail. Our deck is at least 30 yards away and 2 stories up from where he sits. I used the techniques Scott showed us and Mojo instantly stopped barking, sat down, looked at me and waited until I "released" him, but did not start barking again. I was shocked. I know it will take a lot of repetition and time to completely retrain him, but we know we did the right thing bringing in Scott to help us.
I was skeptical at first, but became a believer! Scott and the trainees that attended the first and second session were super helpful and able to answer all of our questions. Astro is earning an A+ for his work and we are thoroughly enjoying his success. We can now enjoy a walk with Astro, we are all more relaxed. The training works as long as you commit and allow yourself to enjoy the time with your pet. We are super appreciative of the work Scott has done to help us.
I was a skeptic for sure. After our first session, I was a believer! We now enjoy time with Astro on walks. He responds to corrections immediately and the frequency of behavior is decreasing each walk. The follow up conversations and second meeting with Scott proved to be very helpful. We were able to ask any questions and get immediate guidance that had a positive impact on our training. Astro is getting an A+ and we are super proud of his progress. We will continue to practice and enjoy the time together. Thanks so much to Scott and his trainees that have joined him for each visit.
I feel like we have a different dog living in our house. Since the initial visit with Scott she is a calmer, more relaxed version of herself and we love it. Even our friends and neighbors have noticed and commented on how positively different our WillaBee is!
The training and reasoning behind the training just clicked for our dog and us. It just works and it works almost immediately.
We have the tools to work with her everyday. We see remarkable improvement in distance control, barking, walking/back leash training, jumping up, and attention seeking behavior.
Scott has been helping us with a reactive Doberman who also has very high anxiety. After seeing her get worse we did private and group training classes but those used shock collars and we didn’t know then that we were making things so much worse and more traumatic for her. We then tried one of the top rated animal behaviorists; but they were the polar opposite. The more we paid the less they did. I felt hopeless and knew we would lose her if we had anymore biting incidents with her. I found Bark Busters and was immediately drawn to the fact that they do not use shock collars, clickers, treats or any things else you have been taught to keep your pup in line. The lady on the phone was fantastic and answered all my questions and told me about Scott. I honestly was surprised he was not working with famous people at how good he looked on paper. Scott came to our home and was so calm and patient. He listened and empathized; but then he got to work. The exercises we did during our FIRST session were already making a complete difference. He helped us with exercises and guided us as needed and left us with tips, tricks and tools to use until his next visit. He also made himself readily available if we were in crisis or needed help of any kind. I have had too many nights crying thinking I am going to have to put my Doberman baby down and now I feel such excitement and a newfound sense of confidence. Scott is honest and straightforward and will not tell you what you want to hear. He understands our crisis and how close we were to giving up. Scott is an all around professional and while he is our last ditch effort to save our dog, I full confidence that he will help us keep her happy, healthy and safe for a long time to come. Thanks Scott and thanks Bark Busters.
Scott was everything we could have ever asked for and more. Seemingly out of nowhere our dogs had this intense sibling rivalry. They'd be best friends one moment and out for blood the next. It was awful and everything we tried failed. We hated the idea of just having to keep our dogs in separate rooms, constantly monitor their interactions, or worst case scenario, get rid of one of them. Enter Scott - literally the same day he came out for the first training everything was 10x better than before. He gave us the tools to actually transform the entire dynamic of our household - more than half a year later and we've been able to keep the peace. Thank you, Scott!!!!
