Maril was absolutely fabulous. I love that Barkbusters comes to your home and helps you brainstorm solutions for your specific surroundings. I was at my wits end trying to integrate our new puppy into our home life. Maril helped us learn how to speak "dog" and communicate with our puppy through positive reinforcement and how to effectively correct his behavior. The second visit really helped us understand how to refine our strategies. Fred our mini golden doodle still has tons of crazy puppy energy - but we are able to channel it and all live together in a much calmer and cohesive way. THANK YOU BARKBUSTERS.
Marlowe was a very dedicated client and applied what I taught. A very nice family.

Merril was fabulous! She was promptly on time & very polite. She explained her training methods & the way a dog sees things compared to the way we view things. She helped us with potty training, nipping, running away from us & chewing. I’d go on to explain how but I can’t give her secrets away. But the money was well spent & I will advise everyone to call her . She will change not only your puppy to behave but also you on how dogs behave & why.
Maril was great! My new adopted Chihuahua mix had problems adjusting to his new home with barking, being in a crate at night and walking on a leash. He is now doing fantastic thanks to Maril's skill and knowledge! Well worth the money!
Maril was a blessing for our family.
We have an unruly puppy.
When she left after our first visit we had a different Dog.
We were very pleased with her.
We would hugely recommend her.
Loved the visual presentation & Sit down experience, the follow up was very nice. The analogies to human needs were extremely helpful. Very consistent.
The Tosto family was very committed to the training and their follow up work. They were a pleasure to work with.

It was a very thorough lesson on how to understand our dogs thoughts and actions. Artemis always raced to the door and would bolt out. Maril showed us how to stop this and it's been great ever since. I was very pleased. There is no painful training. No shock, choke or pinch collars. It was amazing to see Artemis' potential and to see that if we all work together, she will be an amazing dog. Not only is Maril our light at the end of the tunnel, but it is extremely affordable compared to the dozen or so places I called.
Nancy & Chris are very diligent students and are dedicated to Artemis.

Highly recommended, they do know their dogs, very nice to interact with and Coco is on her way to better family life along with her owners. It's a work in progress working with Coco and us every day.
Traci and Quincy were a joy to work with and quick learners!

Maril is our hero! We adopted Marco from a shelter in May of 2017 and needed some extra help with training. This dog would bark at anything he hears, anything he thinks he hears, and anything he think he might hear.
Our first session was full of information and tips on proper training and plenty of example. Today we finished our revisit and he is soooo much better.
Maril is kind, pateint and she always responds to my inquiries in a timly manner. I highly recommend her! 5 stars!
Brittany is an awesome student and dedicated to following through with her homework!!!!

Maril conveyed not only what to do (techniques) but the "why" behind the techniques. We were able to have a greater view of the mind of a dog.
The results were absolutely noticeable! Based on what I had read about Bark Busters I had faith that strides would be made, however the speed at which we noticed a difference is fantastic! After the first session and within 24 hours the changes were remarkable.
The techniques were so very effective! I'm very pleased to have effective tools to use!
There is so much knowledge shared during the sessions; it's really wonderful!
Without a doubt I would recommend Bark Busters! The knowledge that is transferred, the tools that are provided, Maril's calm tone, and the speed at which change is seen is remarkable. Maril has helped alleviate so much stress in our home and allows us all to really enjoy our dog.
Rocket was suffering from Separation Anxiety and had broken out of his crate. He was opening doors and having accidents in the house since they could not contain him. He was growling and protective of Carol inappropriately.
Carol is a very good student and Rocket's separation anxiety is much improved. Rocket can now be crated without stress and in no longer overly protective of Carol. The household is much more relaxed due to these changes. :-)
