We were so close to rehoming Samson because of possession aggression. I thought Moses was the “normal” one of the two..Maxine determined right away that Moses had issues of his own. Moses is coming along, but the amazing transformation has been Samson. I am so glad that I found Bark Busters and especially Maxine, who came faithfully to help us with our furry family. I am happy to say Samson will not need to be rehomed and it would not have turned out that way without Maxine and the Bark Buster training. I know I was probably a bigger challenge for her than the pugs, but she is a
treasure for sure.
Maxine has been awesome! Our dog went to her immediately and continues to be excited when he sees her. She’s patient, knowledgeable, clever and works with all kinds of temperaments. Our pet did not have bad habits, we just wanted to make sure he was well behaved and followed commands. She worked with him where he was at (energetic but not well socialized) to guide him
Into good habits. We’re thrilled with the results and give her the highest recommendation possible. We will continue working with her as long as necessary
Maxine is absolutely wonderful and amazing! She has and continues to help support us in becoming successful dog parents. Our family is eternally grateful and so glad we found her!
Our Australian Shepherd was just shy of one year. We were experiencing multiple behavioral issues with him. Our vet recommended Bark Busters to us. I made the call and set up our first appointment. Maxine came to our home. She is so experienced and knowledgeable. In just a few lessons, we were starting to see results. We can't wait to see what the future lessons bring. We are so pleased with Maxine and the service she provides. We highly recommend Bark Busters.
John has been an amazing teacher of how to communicate with not only our new puppy but our two older dogs. He has answered all of our questions and even provided pointers for things we didn’t even notice. The change in our three dogs behavior after just one visit has been tremendous.
John and Maxine are excellent trainers. First off, I love this program because it is tailored to fit my dog. I checked into other programs and they were group lessons. One of the big dog training programs uses a shock collar to train your dog. I wanted personal lessons tailored to our specific dog and I wanted to be the one doing the training. This is the program for that! John and Maxine are patient and encourage you each step of the way. They will take as much time as you need to get your dog trained. My dog is 65 pounds and would just about pull me over when he saw another dog while we were on a walk. Now we are walking together and I am not afraid I am going to be dragged to the ground if encountering another dog! I would recommend this training program to anyone who wants a well behaved dog.
For the most part, my Whippet puppy of 7 months was a good dog. A bit high strung and completely nuts at times. Reading through the Whippet boards on line, I thought, oh no, I'm doomed. Until Bark Busters came to the house. John spent 3 hours with us. By the time he left, Blu was definitely a calmer dog. I first sought out John and Maxine because I couldn't stop the pulling on the leash. I listened to everyone on line and nothing. I talked to trainers and nothing. Then John comes to the house and no more pulling. But the most amazing thing is that the commands are simple to follow and the dog listens when the "HUMAN" is consistent. Yes, that's the hard part. But, I want my dog to succeed and she is definitely succeeding. She's learning well and "WE" are learning too! Thank You Bark Busters, you guys ROCK!
Maxine has really helped us learn how to communicate in a way that our dog understands! We adopted a rescue dog who was 11 months old at the time, but we were having difficulty getting our son to be comfortable around him because the dog was trying to be the alpha. Once Maxine showed us how to establish otherwise, the dog's behavior fell in line and our 6 year old son has a best friend now! We loved that Maxine came to our house to see our dog in his own environment, and coached us in authentic situations. Furthermore, whenever we have emailed her, she has gotten back to us right away. It was worth the money to have a happy family and a happy dog! Thank you, Bark Busters!
Maxine has been a true pleasure to work with. She provide my fiancé and I with the tools necessary to be the leaders of our home and reducing stress in JarJar's life. JarJar has separation anxiety and toilets in the house which has been a struggle for us but things are improving dramatically in our house. Maxine is always available for a call or email if something has happened and I don't know what to do about it. I highly recommend them!
