Well, my whole family is just flat-out floored by the Bark Busters method. Talk about instant results. We have a new dog -- figuratively, not literally. I had no idea how quiet our house could be. I had always blamed the noise and chaos on the kids, but I swear that the kids are calmer because Keeper is calmer. I didn't realize the spiraling energy that was transferred to all of us by Keeper running around and barking at every little thing. We had our training on Sunday and frankly I have had little chance to practice the corrections because he just seems to know what to do. He has relinquished his leadership position to us because we have learned to behave like pack leaders for the first time. He stands at the window and looks out, but no longer goes ballistic over the sights and sounds outside. A bonus is that my windows no longer have doggie slobber all over them. For about a day and a half after the training, he seemed to pout (of course, that could be my perception), but now he is back to his old self minus ALL of the annoying behaviors. About our sneezing issue: I sneezed twice in a row (no holding back) last night and was prepared to correct his rushing, barking, and nipping, but he didn't even come to see what it was all about. I got to practice answering the door two days after the training when I had a delivery that took almost 40 minutes to complete. At first Keeper rushed to the door, but I did everything you said and backed him up to his designated place. I then invited him to meet the stranger at the door and he politely came up and sniffed the man's shoes before happily trotting off to his room where he stayed while the man completed his delivery. Our front door was pretty much open the whole time and Keeper made no attempts to escape; he didn't bark or jump at the window, and he didn't jump on our guest. WOW! Today, I worked with him on stay. While I had him on Stay, I received a phone call. When I went back 5 minutes later, he was right where I had left him. Prior to that I had only practiced 30 seconds on Stay. I'm so amazed by the Bark Busters results that I ask everyone I meet if they have a dog so I can tell them about Bark Busters. You know, I had a really awesome dog to begin with, but now my Mom (not a dog lover) even finds him more easy to love. I guess it's like your children. Sometimes you become immune to their bad behavior. I had gotten used to Keeper's quirks as the price of dog ownership, but now he truly is the best dog around and anyone who meets him would have to agreed -- even my Mom. I am amazed that I have not heard everyone talking about Bark Busters. It is an awesome training system. It makes perfect sense from the dog's perspective; it is super, super quick with instantaneous results. No wonder you have a Life of the Dog Guarantee -- your program works so well that y'all know you won't have to come back and work with us again. I am pleased that you are available via email or phone with any questions I have, and it is comforting to know that you will come back and work with us if we have problems. I don't anticipate any. I wish I had known about Bark Busters with my first Sheltie, Murphy. I think he would have had a more stress-free life. After Bark Busters, Keeper behaves as if the weight of the world is no longer on his shoulders. Where have you been all my dogs' lives??? You really need to advertise more. Thanks so much for everything. ~Charissa P.S. You'd be a millionaire if you had a similar program for Kids. If you do, I'll be the first to sign up for a franchise.
