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.

Had trouble with my sweet pit mix Siggy not wanting to get in the car to go to the vet. Our vet recommended Bark Busters. The trainer Patrick is awesome, professional and experienced! Day one is going splendidly. Great experience

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.

The "girls" are a lot calmer and better behaved than ever!! A little more work needed with Kai and the Amazon delivery, but we now know what we are doing and doing it right, for once!!!! We all loved Patrick!

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.

Patrick was very patient and had a lot of useful information for us for our pup just only on day one! We can’t wait to see what the future holds with our training as we implement these daily activities into our routine.

Patrick was patient with us (and our dogs). We are looking forward to practicing what we learned and having a better relationship with our dogs.
