Bark Busters Home Dog Training

Vicki did an amazing job working with my 5 month old German Shepard Rosie. She was strong willed in biting and jumping on counter tops and people. This concerned me because I have 3 children in which my little one whose 8 was nervous and scared around her. She has within a week stopped biting and has minimal jumping on things and people. With one command she gets down. She also had a constant need to go to the bathroom on my floors in my house. I emailed Vicki and within the same day she responded back with ways to help. My Rosie has only had one accident in my house since then. I am very impressed and would recommend her and bark busters to all my friends or anyone interested in training their dog. She’s the very best.

Let me start with a brief description of my puppies; two adorable tyrants! My neighbor excited for his results with his puppy, told my about bark busters. I called bark buster and left a message within minutes Marlene called back and she was extremely helpful and professional.
We agreed to meet at 11 AM on a Sunday… Marlene and Howard arrived 15 minutes earlier. They were wearing professional attire and display grace and friendliness. Once they enter the apartment with such manners, you can feel they are family already. They looked at my puppies and went to explained the program to me, while Howard was explaining the program, my puppy started chewing a piece of wood, Marlene, said a command and the puppy stopped immediately (magic).
Not only I was impressed and I felt secure by Marlene and Howard, they only want from me to provide the best life for my puppies. We did some training with the puppies and the results are amazing. The puppies are lovely, tender, respectful.
Thank to Bark busters I can continue my training to have best friends for life. They have a great way to explained the reality of a dog life!
Highly recommended

Acceptable program, but I wish I was better informed.
Bark Busters is a service for a fair price. Just over $ 600 for «lifetime» service. Suffice to say the services will be rendered in about 4 – 5 visits. I say it is fair because the cost to have a personal service performed in your home would be about $ 100 per visit. This would be true for appliance repair or dog training. The BB agreement states the hourly rate is $ 125.00/hour.
The agreement also states crazy stuff like «trainer and Bark busters are not liable for improper application of training methods». Typical small print stuff.
When I wanted to schedule a visit to enroll, the trainer was available in about 3 – 4 days. However, when I wanted to schedule a regular visit, the next available appointment was in 3 weeks.
I would consider one on one dog training in your home a premium service. If your pet has severe behavioral problems this can be a valuable service, but most people may find this expensive traditional dog training. BB trains you how to train your dog.
I would strongly recommend you first attempt to learn basic dog training using FREE videos on YouTube. Be selective, some are bad, but most can be very good. You will learn same/​similar techniques at NO cost. If you continue to struggle, then consider BB.
I’m sorry the review does not read like the company brochure.

Vicky is a true professional. Her techniques are amazing and easy to follow. The dogs respond in a very positive way to the training. You’ll see your dogs become much calmer and happier, knowing that the owners are in charge of the pack. They really loved learning the obedience training. Everyone wins!
