Bark Busters Home Dog Training

Connie brought our family closer! Before we had training, we didn?t take our dog out for many walks because of her leash aggression. We simply took her out to the bathroom and back inside to prevent any mishaps or dirty looks from the neighbors. With only 3 sessions, our dog has completely changed and we love to take her outside. We have so much hope for her and cannot wait to see her progression. Connie is a miracle worker and will be realistic with you about what your dog may or may not be able to do. The lifetime guarantee is the best way to go because you never know what problems the future might bring and knowing there is a trainer who truly cares is there to help you through it all is worth it for us! I would recommend this program to anyone who has doubts about their dog being trained. more

I was having many behavioral issues with my dog Boulder. He was barking all the time and jumping on people. After just ONE session with David Wiley of Bark Busters Seattle, Boulder actually started listening to me. I like Bark Busters because they use dog friendly training techniques instead of shock collars. Now I am the leader of the pack! more

I can't believe my two little dogs don't bark for hours at a time! We got in home consultation and continued support. more

This is the first dog training philosophy that has made sense to me. David Wiley is fantastic, with a great, accessible communication style that helps you work with your dog to achieve optimal behavior results. He taught us things I'd never thought of, like how a dog establishes dominance and how I can become the leader of my pack. I had no idea my dog was actually dominating me! Best of all, the training is done in your own home, which makes sense since that's where your dog makes most of his ""mistakes."" Training is also completely personalized to address the issues that bother you most. David gave us homework to practice that really helped improve our relationship with both our dogs. We purchased the lifetime guarantee, and feel secure knowing that for the life of our dog, if a behavior issue comes up (new dog, new baby, reverting to old habits), we can call David and he'll help us nip it in the bud. This is one of the best investments we've ever made in our family, canine and human. I've recommended BarkBusters to all my dog-loving friends, and recommend it heartily to all CitySearchers as well! more

While I do not have a ""problem dog"", I wanted to take my adopted bulldog, Emmitt, to a dog trainer to make sure I was approaching things correctly and could learn some tactics for teaching new things or getting rid of problem behavior should it crop up. Before contacting David, I had received a Bark Busters book as a gift, and I read it - it is an incredible common-sense approach, not unlike the Dog Whisperer but without some of the ""harsher"" tactics some folks have issues with (I personally have no problems with the Dog Whisperer.) Pros: Incredible service, a common-sense approach, done in your home Cons: There are cheaper training methods out there, but then you get what you pay for. more
