We were astounded with the
changes in our dog in such a short period of time. There's still lots
to work on but I think we have the basis to get it done.
- Richard A. - July 2010
Kevin provided excellent
instruction for what I would deem to be a very challenging puppy with
a very dominant nature - thank you Kevin we look forward to being able
to enjoying our time with our dog versus constantly battling with her!
- Mike H. - July 2010
Wewill recommend Bark Busters
to everyone! Our dogs responded so well!
- Jen L. - June 2010
We were both very pleased
with the initial demonstration and Kevin's willingness to address our
specific problems. Riding in the car and answering the door.
We had the teaching session only 72 hours ago and already their is a noticable
improvement. We still have more training and practise to do but i'm sure
we will FINALLY be able to take our dogs to the off leash park without
a leash and have them return to us. - Gordon C. - June 2010
We are very happy and relaxed,
since Kevin was here to teach us.
Now we know how to handle our dog in a better way. It works!
Thank you Kevin & Thank you Bark Busters! - Guido
& Viola H.
- Lake Country - June 2010
Our Trainer was very friendly,
personable relatable and an all around nice guy. He explained everything
to us very plainly and treated us and our dog very well.
- Janet - June 2010
KEVIN was awesome. We learned
so much from him, and are at home practicing daily now. This is a unique
program that REALLY works. I would recommend this program to EVERYONE
with a dog. - Lauren H. - June 2010
The improvement of the quality
of our relationship with our dogs has been immeasurable. Since Kevin's
visit, they are more responsive, attentive and calm than ever before.
Our dogs seem more comfortable, our neighbors are happy they've stopped
barking all day and we all enjoy a more harmonious relationship. We are
more confident dog owners since Bark Busters showed us how to communicate
effectively with our dogs. Kevin has taken the time to check in with us
as well as responding to email questions when we needed support. We couldn't
be happier with the results we are consistently seeing from the training
after just 2 weeks. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! - Devon C.
- June 2010
Barkbusters provided exceptional
one on one training that was well suited to our family and environment.
The improvements in my dogs behaviour were immediate.
- Jennifer - Penticton BC
Kevin was friendly, informative
and patient. We were so skeptical that anyone could help improve the behavior
of our dogs, but they improved dramatically right before our eyes within
hours of Kevin's visit. Now that we know how to speak 'dog', we have the
confidence we need to be good pack leaders. We were left with all the
tools and information we need to continue with the program and know that
if we falter, Kevin will be there to offer us support and guidance. I
look forward to many years of a more peaceful, harmonious life with our
dogs thanks to Kevin and the Bark Busters philosophy. - Devon C. -
June 2010
It was well organized. The
explanation of dog behaviour and how what we do effects it was very easy
to understand. Kevin was very patient as we worked with our dog, and we
kept working on particular areas until we were comfortable that we had
the skills needed. - Jim G. - June 2010
It was a great experience.
It shattered some things I thought I new about dogs. Most importantly
it has helped us make the dog a part of our family, not just a pet stuck
outside. - Judith N. - May 2010
It was fantastic! We saw
results almost right away with our Dog Titan. We have our work cut out
for us but we are confident we learned the right tools to make it happen.
Thanks Kevin. - Stacey T. - May 2010
We were very pleased with
the knowledge our instructor had and how it was conveyed to us... Kevin
was very patient and was very calm and assertive in helping us with our
puppy. - Ryan B. - May 2010
Very pleased .With the right
technic and skills its amazing what can be acheived. I find we're having
to correct ourselves so we're not the ones that slip. So far so good.
- Sandra and Naten T. - Kelowna BC - May 2010
It was a life changing/saving
event! When I first spoke to Kevin, it sounded too good to be true. Chewy
trained in 3-4 hours, yeh right! But here we are, still a work in progress,
but %100 better(and only 2 days later). Chewy used to be an outside, rambunctious
golden retriever and as we speak, is laying by my feet, calm as can be.
Thank you Kevin, for giving us our dog, and our back yard back!!!!!ps.
I have almost lost my voice after findiong my "Bahhhhhh" and
you thought I didn't have it in me :-). The Danyluk Family thank you VERY
Much! I recommend Kevin and Bark Busters %110!! - Stephanie D. - Chase
BC - May 2010
So far so good!
I am amazed, as are our guests, with the change in our dogs! And it will
only get better from here... YIPPEE! - Heather L. - Kelowna - May
2010
We all really enjoyed meeting
Kevin and gained so much insight into the life of our dog - how she interacts
with us and how our behaviour affects her... - Sara - Kelowna - May
2010
I was most impressed - I
have an enjoyable little animal who now listens. With continued practice
my dog will be perfect - I was Very Very surprised by how fast Tilly and
I achieved results. - Edna - Kelowna - May 2010
I heard great things about
Kevin & Barkbusters from a friend. I decided it was time to take control
back in my house. My two dogs are learning and already showing signs of
change, and now it is up to me to continue learning how to be the Alpha.
Thanks Kevin for giving me the confidence! - Heather - Kelowna - May
2010
I knew having Kevin come
to our house would help, but I never imagined the change I would see in
my dogs and myself so quickly. I feel I have the confidence and knowledge
to be a happy dog owner with happy dogs! I'm so grateful to Kevin and
the program for giving me that gift that is priceless and will stay with
me forever. And so are the dogs!
- Jamie R. - Kelowna - April 2010
Kevin worked well with my
teenage boy, giving him positive feedback and recognizing his shyness
to perform in front of people. It was a very positive experience for all
of us Ranger included. - Carla R. - Kelowna - April 2010
Kevin put training into a
language we could understand. He was very friendly and so helpful! He
answered all our questions and put everything into simple terms and made
everything seem easy to follow. I like the "plan" or "homework"
sheet and think its a great idea. It lets us know what needs to be done
and makes it easy for us to complete. Its a nice reminder of what needs
to be worked on. I will definetely be recommending Bark Busters to others.
- Sean P. - April 2010
Kevin has been very supportive
and everything that he went through with me on the first day gave me a
very clear understanding as to what my dog is requiring from me and my
confidence was built up. I just wish I could have him with me all the
time LOL. His follow up has been great and trying to trouble shoot and
giving direction before our next follow up has been really good. -
Eleanor K. - April 2010
Kevin is a fantastic therapist.
He was firm yet friendly with Lui. He helped us regain our pack leader
status in our household and we are reaping the rewards instantly.
Graham S. - April 2010
Kevin was great with our
dog, and we had immediate results.
It's wonderful! - Greg L. - March 2010
After ten years of struggling
to understand each other, my dog and I are finally talking the same language,
all thanks to Kevin at Bark Busters. We don't understand each other perfectly,
but Rome wasn't built in a day, and I'm convinced that by continuing to
employ the techniques I've learned we will get there eventually. In the
meantime she is more attentive and obediant and far happier, while I am
less frustrated, more patient, and happier still. You CAN teach an old
dog new tricks! Thanks for your help! - Tom R. - March 2010
I am very satisfied! It has
been about 2 weeks since our first training and Tigger is learning so
quickly. Kevin answers any questions promptly and thorougly. Thank you
so much.
- Tara N. - March 2010
With Bark Busters, we have
experienced a very positive change in our dogs' behaviour. They are more
calm, much more responsive, less aggressive and all around better behaved...
Overall, we are enjoying a more balanced home environment and have confidence
that we have control over our dogs in our home and during activities.
-Chad E. - March 2010
Excellent, easy to understand
program with immediate results. Both my dogs and I learned a new way of
communicating who needs to be in charge. It was a lot of fun and rewarding!
Susanne B. - March 2010
We have already noticed a
big difference with our dog's behaviour and it has only been 2 days since
our session! We have found that their have been a couple of scenario's
where we forget what to do, but it's more so just because we have to train
ourselves to change our old habits! I think the best part of this program
is that it is guaranteed which makes the whole process so much less stressful
since we know that we can always return for more help and start where
we left off if things aren't working out- great idea! - Kate H. -
March 2010
We were very happy with Kevin
and what he did. We were amazed how quickly our dog was well behaved -
so much so that Kevin had troubles teaching us what to do when she was
bad. However, he gave us many great pointers and explained potential scenarios
that would happen with her. Sure enough, the following day we were able
to follow his suggestions and saw great improvements in her. - Kim
and Ian P. - March 2010
We are so happy with the decision
to call Bark Busters. Kevin was so very informative and thorough and his
techniques so easy to implement. By contiuing to following Kevin's advice,
we are confident we will be able to keep Max in a very structured, happy,
safe environment. Thank-you Kevin! - Stan,Liz and Max - Stan &
Liz R. - February 2010
I was and am continually
impressed with the improvement of Boots and Mitch, it is like night and
day and it has only been a couple of weeks. I still have work to do with
them of course but thank you so much they are becoming more of a pleasure
to be around. Sharon
- Sharon S. - February 2010
We were amazed with the transformation
of our dog in such a short period of time. We are very happy with Kevin's
training and would recommend him anytime to anyone.
- Cory S. - February 2010
Very impressed at Kevin's
abilility to train us in dealing with a defiantly dominant puppy! A marked
change in her behaviour in less than 24 hours. Thank you.
- Gilles B. & Marie O. - February 2010
Kevin was amazing with our
dog, Buster today. We were absolutely shocked in the transformation made
in just one session. We know it will take some time and effort at our
end to continue this progress, but we are truly thrilled with what Kevin
has taught us and Buster. Thank you, Kevin. - Denise H. - January
2010
After only several hours
of working with Kevin we had a different dog - all in the privacy of our
own home. To our amazement he has stopped jumping up, barking at the cats,
scratching and actually comes when we call him! All of this was done in
a way that was neither condescending nor judgmental. Kevin was a true
professional and we are thrilled with our "new" Max! - Cassandra
M. - January 2010
I am very pleased with the
out come of our visit with Kevin, have some work to do but would not believe
that these are my dogs, still have a few kinks to work out, but will get
them.. cheers... - Cathie C. - December 2009
I am so impressed with bark
busters and kevin if i hadnt have seen the transformation i would not
believe it was the same dogs.Very impressive.
My dogs have never been so well behaved and just after 1 session. Highly
recommend your methods and service. - Cathie - December 2009
We thought we needed an exorcism
for our little puppy, but after our session with Kevin our little Abby
is the real little bundle of joy we'd hoped she'd be! This is a remarkable,
common sense, easy to use and EFFECTIVE system - does it work on teenagers?
- Kelli H. - November 2009
Kevin was a very kind and
reassuring person to work with, and taught us what we needed to know in
order to change our dog's behavior. The techniques he used work very well,
and we'd certainly recommend Barkbusters. - Lauren D. - November 2009
We had the pleasure of having
Kevin train our dog, Rocket. I didn't know the potential my dog has at
5 months to be trained. My husband and I were throughly impressed at how
much we learned, at how easy it was and how engaging and entertaining
it was having Kevin in our home. This is the morning after training and
we already see the difference in our puppy, what a relief!!! We will certainly
recommend Bark Busters to all our friends!!
- Stephanie B. - November 2009
We all felt that it was a
great session. Already have seen a big difference ... We definately have
the confidence to continue working with the dogs and are quite certain
that we will continue to see even more successes over time... it is reassuring
that help is a phone call away. - Darlene L. - November 2009
I am very confident that
my confidence that I learned the system and satisfaction with my dog's
improvement will be a five as time goes on. We are VERY happy with the
service, the system and with Kevin himself. He has followed up with us
and made us feel like we have someone to help us and ENJOY our dog rather
than worry. It's given us a new appreciation for our fuzzy friend and
we feel in control again. Will recommend highly to ALL.
- Jamie F. - November 2009
Kevin was great! He was thorough,
empathetic, patient, and very informative, which made the learning experience
stress-free and enjoyable. Bruce is improving everyday, as are we :) I
will not hesitate to recommend Bark Busters as I have already recommended
Kevin to a few pet owners. Thanks, Kevin! - Shaneen G. - November
2009
Kevin was absoutely wonderful.
His people and dog skills are incredible, because it takes both. He explained
and demonstrated everything superbly, and now it is our job to practice
and train. Thanks to Kevin and BarkBusters we can keep our dog. Cuz it
was a the point where the line was drawn! Thank YOU*** - Natasha S.
- October 2009
My mother and I feel much
more confident interacting with Rocket after our lessons. We were able
to take both Rocket and my four year old out on the lawn without worrying
about Rocket becoming "nippy" or barking like a mad man. We've
also been able to let him in the house for longer periods as he stays
so much calmer. Your program is excellent!!
- Kathy H. - October 2009
...We are so pleased with
the service and professionalism from Kevin and only wish we would have
called many years ago. - Melissa & Jamie F. - October 2009
Once we began learning the
Barkbuster system it was a matter of about 15 minutes and Jaeda was a
completely different dog. This continued into the next day (today) and
I am sure it will continue with our persistance in her training.
Thank you very much Kevin McDonnell - June H. - October 2009
Our trainer Kevin was very
good today. Only 3 hours after he left we have noticed some major changes
in our dog. With the skills he has provided us I'm sure we are going to
see huge changes in our dog Sadie .I used the techniques shown on a friends
dog and rite away he asked who showed me that and I recommend barkbusters
thanks Kevin - Katie - October 2009
Bark Busters (Specifically
Kevin), has changed the every day goings on in our home. This easy to
use method of correction and positive reinforcement has resulted in less
frustration for us, and our pup... I feel that we are well on our way
to having the perfect balance between dog and leader :)...Besides, we're
not perfect either! Thank you so much Bark Busters, and especially Kevin
McDonnell! - Allie S. - September 2009
Kevin was wonderful to work
with and understood right away the kinds of issues our dog, Simon, was
having. He explained things very clearly and taught me a lot about not
only Simon's behaviour but about how I was contributing to it. After so
many failed attempts at rehabilitating Simon, it was great to realize
that we'd finally called the right person.
Bark Busters - and Kevin in particular - has allowed Simon
to be the fantastic dog we always knew he had in him. Thank you SO much!
- Rebecca A. - September 2009
Enjoyed our training with
Kevin, funny and non-judgmental, amazing results already!
- Kaye D. - September 2009
I was amazed with how quickly
our dog caught on to what we were trying to do. I have since recommended
it to three friends that I know have similar problems with their dogs
and hope that they use this sytem as well...- Barb B. - August 2009
Thanks for the time and service.
I was so relieved that the boys could be turned around so quickly. It
was a pleasure to work with Kevin. His calm and cool manner put things
at rest instantly. How one little word can great such a lovely atmosphere
for the family to live in. I recommend this program highly because IT
WORKS. Best money I have spent!!!
Tamara C., Summerland, BC - July 2009
Today's session was excellent!
We really understood all the points made and how following the system
will lead to a better behaved dog. We are enjoying practicing with Hunter
and he has already showed improvement. Thanks Kevin! -Kelli - July
2009
Kevin made it clear and easy
to understand the situation we're in with our dog and helped us find a
way to make improvements to it. He was extremely helpful and considerate
of our needs. I would not hesitate in reccomending him and Bark Busters
to anyone.
- Patrick R. - July 2009
Bark Busters has made a huge
impact on our life with our dog and it has only been 1 day!!! What a difference!!
Kevin was an outstanding trainer and very friendly and personable to work
with! You should be honored to have him a part of your team! Thank you
Kevin and Bark Busters for making our life with Rock much easier and happier!!!
- Trent N. - July 2009
My experience with Bark Busters
was very enlightening and positive. Teddy is so cute that I know I was
letting him away with things that I shouldn't have. After just one session,
Teddy does not jump up on people and he responds well if I need to remind
him about nipping. I will continue to practice our lessons so that we
can continue to enjoy each other.
- Bea L. - July 2009
I remain thrilled with the
results so far....our walks are much more relaxing and the ongoing doggy
demands have all but stopped....I have full confidence that the ultimate
end result will be excellent. Thanks again for a great learning process.
p.s. Brutus & Max thank you also.
- Marilyn H. - July 2009
I am already referring people
to this way of training dog. Very please with the training for me and
my dog. Thanks you Bark Busters. The trainer has already received my testimonial
for his great work. - Karla B. - June 2009
I am speechless. I have brand
new dogs and my dogs have a brand new mommy. Kevin was a fantastic trainer
- a wonderful sense of humor. He was completely non-judgemental and clearly
loves loves loves his job. I can't wait now to take them out into the
world. Thank you for everything!!! - Marulyn H. -June 2009
I can't believe the difference
in my dog in 24 hours after Bark Busters came into our home. Our dog has
calmed down and we have calmed down. I am impressed - Laura B. - June
2009
Bark Busters have made a
significant change in Victoria's behaviour! Within minutes she walked
like a lady on a leash, no more pulling and tugging. The door bell, which
up until today, was a beacon to run and bark was now ignored and her times
in the car while I made quick errands were without barks and howls. I
am a believer, the system WORKS! We are both happier! Thanks Bark Busters.
- Nancy I - June 2009
Bark Busters was an absolute
dream come true. Not only is Chloe behaving better, but so are we now
that we have the proper tools to do so! Her separation anxiety was the
greatest challenge for us, and already she has turned into a different
dog. My only regret is that we hadn't called bark busters sooner. I would
highly recommend Bark Busters to everyone I know, because Kevin made it
such a rewarding and fun experience. Thanks so much Kevin, for guiding
our way! - Erin D. and James T. - June 2009
Kevin was so patient with
us and informative. If we knew three years ago what we know now, it would
have been so much less stressful for our dog and ourselves. We are so
glad our vet recommended Kevin and Bark Busters.- Al and Val M. -
June 2009
Amazing. Kevin was absolutely
incredible. I am very happy - Carley B. - June 2009
This was an incredibly enjoyable
and informative afternoon as Kevin took me through the paces to help me
train my dog. Kevin took my concerns and questions seriously and he made
certain that I understood his answers before moving on. Kevin has an easy
way about him - he was very relaxed and laughed often, making this a fun
experience.
I am happy to say that my dog Pepin learned his new commands very quickly
and he now appears happy to obey me. He is no longer in charge of me,
I am in charge of him. I am sure that within 6 weeks Pepin will be ready
to be tested as a Therapy Dog (my goal for him) and I feel confident that
he will pass with flying colours!! I only have good things to say about
Kevin and Bark Busters and I have already told my friends about this wonderful
and unique program. Thank you Kevin for all of your help. - Linda
A. - June 2009
Very enlightening on how
a dog's mind works and how we play a part in it. I found that even though
we had to be the 'Alpha' I never felt that my dog was in any way being
abused either mentally or physically. I have been in obedience type training
and I feel that Bark Busters' training would be more successful as they
work with the mind of your pet and not just making them 'behave on a leash'.
I am very impressed and my pet was even well behaved the first night with
only one little correction from me. Thank you Kevin & Bark Busters.
- Karla B. - June 2009
Kevin arrived on time for
our appointment. He was very professional, open, pleasant, humorous, understanding,
supportive and empathetic. It's very evident that he's got a tremendous
amount of experience in dog behavioural therapy. The changes in our dog
and ourselves are phenomenal from just one appointment. It is beyond our
expectations. Thank you Kevin. We will highly recommend you to others.
- Murray and Kathleen - May 2009
Kevin was so informative
and made us feel so comfortable with training our dog. Such a kind and
trustworthy man. I have noticed significant changes in my dogs behavior
in only one day. I would and will recommend Kevin to everybody I know
that may be looking for a dog trainer...or should I say "Human Trainer"
Thank you so much to Kevin. - Carley - May 2009
I actually had a conversation
with my neighbor this past weekend, we had NO interference or TAKING DOWN
THE FENCE as in the past,it was quiet remarkable as my friend put it.
The strategies given to us by Kevin are AWESOME AND VERY EFFECTIVE on
both of our dogs. Its only been a week and the change is WONDERFUL. Thanks
Kevin
- Brendan and Jan M. - May 2009
I was so impressed with the
training techniques Bark Busters use. I saw improvements immediatly in
our dog. I would highly recommend Bark Busters to anyone.
- Karen D. - May 2009
My experience was wonderful.
What I like the best is they will be there when something new comes around.
I am pleased with the instruction and the actual hands on approach in
my own home. I would recommend any one that is having dog issues to call
them. I did. - Mickie H. - May 2009
We thought our pitbull Roman
was totally beyond help - he constantly bit, barked and jumped around
the house like a maniac. Kevin came in and taught us how to be better
owners - the Bark Busters system was easy to implement and the change
in our dog was immediate! Thank you!!! - Kristy - May 2009
Thank you so much. Overall
very pleased with the changes in Levi. He does have some unpredictability
issues that we'll continue to work on with him but we're very happy with
the quick results this far. We've even referred others to the program.
I'm confident that they'll be equally as pleased as we've been. Thanks
again. - Lian W. - May 2009
Our little dog pleasantly
surprised us at how quickly he caught on to the commands made by Kevin,
and then myself. Had I known the change would be so immediate I'd have
called on Bark Busters earlier.. The improvement was immediate and on
going:::: he also walks much better for us. - Betty H. - May 2009
The experience was amazing!
Kevin explained the system extremely well and was very supportive and
easy to understand. I highly recommend this approach to correct a dog's
behaviour. - Cheryl K. - May 2009
I noticed a huge difference
in our dogs in the first day of training, having five of them can be a
handful but Kevin showed us some very valuable techniques that is working
from day one and even after he left I notice huge changes. - Shelley
D. - May 2009
I loved the experience. The
ease of following the step by step plan made it successful for both myself
and the dogs. It will be an on going loving and working relationship.
Thanks Kevin
- Mickie - April 2009
You did a very awesome job.
- Kantima O. - April 2009
I'm impressed with how easy
this system is to employ, and how well and quickly it has worked with
my dog. - Mike & Lian W. - April 2009
Our little Koby, really surprised
us! How quickly he caught on to everything you said and did. Walking today
was a PLEASURE.. He remembers the BAHH word. Im waiting patiently for
someone to ring doorbell, and watch his reaction today. - Betty H.
- April 2009
Kevin has been amazing, very
persistant, our dog's are quit a challenge and he is very determined to
be able to resolve our issue between the two. Any time we need him he
has been available. We would strongly recommend him. - Kally &
Jason S. - April 2009
Very pleased with Jersey's
behaviour overall. I am still working on changing my behaviour! I noticed
immediate improvement in how she responds when I ignore her. It must be
my body language since she tried to bunt my arm for attention only once;
now she will come over and if I don't give eye contact, she goes and lays
down. She is waiting for me to get all the way down the stairs and then
call her before she comes down. Barking is diminished and she has responded
well to the bah from inside the house.I took her for a good long hike
in the regional park and she stayed with me the whole time. Only ran off
once to roll in the snow but came back when I decided it was time to go.
One incident occurred which I realized I handled in the old way; she was
off leash and going to the car when a german shepherd came by with its
owners; they (the dogs) had a growling and barking contest-I reverted
to the freak-out mentality that didn't help to calm her; after I realized
what I should be doing, she calmed down and came to me (still pretty much
on her own time but at least she came.) I shuld have referred the german
shepherd to you as it wasn't well behaved either-very hard to handle on
the leash, and not just when it was being challenged by my dog. Jersey
seems to be a changed dog as my mother keeps saying. Thanks again!
- Maryanne R. - March 2009
3 Dogs. Now the dynamics
changed... we usually had 2 dogs. They began attacking each other and
we didn't know how to deal with it. It was emotionally hard for us. Also,
one of our dogs has coyote in her and when we approach another dog when
out for a walk (both on leashes) she went crazy trying to attack the other
dog... People would come out of their houses because they thought a dog
was getting hurt etc.
One call to Barkbusters and relief swept over me. I spoke with Kevin McDonnell
who asked me 20 minutes worth of questions to get to know my dogs before
setting up an appointment with me.
He was very nice, easy to speak to and provided us with some very helpful
training. He also spoke very highly of Barkbusters itself and how much
he enjoys it. Our visit was a relaxed, informative session and we noticed
a big change in our dogs as well as us after it.
Training is really hard to keep up on, and that's why it's good to know
that there's a lifetime guarantee. If we're doing something wrong with
the training then at least we can get corrected on it. So far the attacks
have been few and far between since then and the walks are slowly progressing...
We're looking forward to a second visit in the future to tighten up our
skills and we will recommend it to those who show interest in learning
about Barkbusters. (You have to want the help first, you know?) But we'll
definitely tell people about it!
Our confidence level is a lot higher now and that trickle-effect shows
in our dogs.
By the way,they give Barkbusters "Three Paws Up!" Cheers -
Pam J. - March 2009
I just would like to say
that I can already see a vast improvement in US and Rebel and cannot say
enough about this system. As you know, it was Rebel's 1 year birthday
yesterday and for a 1-year old boy, he is calm, focused, and listens amazingly!
We would recommed you to anyone and in fact Rob has put a note about Bark
Busters on his Facebook and has already heard good feedback already. I
can't wait to take him off-leash this summer! Thank you doesn't seem to
be enough, but please accept our thanks. I'm so happy that WE'VE become
better leaders for our puppy to enjoy. - With heartfelt gratitude,Karen,
Rob, Becki and Mitch and of course Rebel! - March 2009
We are so glad we came across
Bark Busters. Kevin called us back within a day of an email I sent, which
I believe was on a Friday, and was here on Monday to work with us. The
transformation in our dog is miraculous and we can't wait to show Cyruss
off to our friends and family. We'll be sure to let them all know who
to call if they have a problem with any of their dogs! - Colleen &
Derek B. - February 2009
I have to say how impressed
I was with both Kevin and the techniques he taught me. I am highly confident
that Bark Busters is going to help me achieve the goal of having a very
well behaved dog. I noticed improvement in my dog in the first lesson,
and would HIGHLY recommend Bark Busters to ANYONE that needs help with
their dog. Kevin is very educated and informative and made me feel like
I was grasping the concept easily. I felt very at ease with him when he
was teaching both me and my dog. I am extremely happy with the service
of Kevin and the Bark Busters way of training. - Kim L. - January
2009
Excellent training tips &
Kevin is very patient. My famliy members & close friends have noticed
the difference right away & Grace is lot calmer since the training.
- Rebecca M. - January 2008
It was a great session today.
We've all learned a lot and are committed to practising the exercises.
We have already seen a change in the dogs. Thanks very much Kevin. We
look forward to working with you to help make our dogs model citizens
and we are sure they will get there and we will become much better owners
(leaders) in our pack. Thanks again.
- Janet and Tim W. - January 2009
Thank you Kevin, you were
very professional and thorough. You helped me feel at ease. I can't believe
the difference in Duke & Jasper today. They are more calm & relaxed
than ever before. And they respond very quickly to our Baahs. We did our
homework today and it went very well. We will keep it up and will enjoy
our dogs much more as we learn to trust them (and they, us). I will recommend
you to eveyone who will listen to me. Thanks again.
- Victoria S. - December 2008
Kevin - Thank you for your
time. We were truly impressed with your professionalism in helping us
with our Max. - Aline G. - December 2008
I am very happy that we had
Bark Buster's training for Barkley. I am confident that if we keep on
top of our training he will continue to improve each day. Thank you Kevin,
you made this experience a postive one! - Micehlle L. - December 2008
Kevin McDonnell was wonderful
to work with. I have noticed significant changes in my dog(s) already.
My puppy is going to take a lot of work, but with the techniques and training
tools Kevin has provided I am certain that we will be successful. My two
dogs and I have been working on the door bell/knocking and my pup and
I started out assertiveness training in the yard and she did SO WELL!
I am so excited to continue to see the changes that are already beginning
after just one day!...Thank you so much to Kevin- I really enjoyed all
that he has shown me and feel much more confident that together we can
achieve what I expect of my little furry friends. - Sarah P. - November
2008
I would recommend Kevin to
any of my friends that have dogs. - Steve T. - Nov. 2008
Thank you so much for teaching
me a proper, better way to raise my loved pet. You helped save a loved
pet, and i promise to keep a leader mind and heart. Thanks again.
- Brandy T. - October 2008
We are already noticing improvements
with our dog, after just one day of following the new rules! Thank you.
- Alison M. - October 2008
Neither my husband nor I
cant believe the behavior improvement in both our dogs. We have no doubt
with our efforts the improvements will continue. - Muriel K. - October
2008
Kevin was great, very informative
and personable. Kevin was a great trainer and I look forward to working
with him on our next visit to improve Ranger. Thanks again.
- Michelle S. - September 2008
Nothing short of a miracle!
Bark Busters was my last hope for my dog Bayleigh - This was the weekend
I was making a decision to adopt her out! In a four hour training session,
she stopped nipping, licking, pulling, ignoring, jumping up, and otherwise
being the boss of me and became attentive, compliant and obedient. I am
excited about practicing what I learned on a regular basis. ps Bayleigh
has moved back our house today! - Jan W. - September 2008
One full day later - it's
still working! We're in absolute awe of how simple the process is. Chili
and Pepper are responding and we had very minimal barking yesterday. Whew!
Thank you! - Karen L. - September 2008
... I really learned a lot
today and I believe Willow has shown amazing signs of learning already.
Thanks Kevin - Teresia T. - September 2008
Simple, repetative and extremely
humane. I really enjoyed my Bark Buster experience and would recommend
Kevin to anyone in our circle that has a need to identify areas that they
can improve on so their dogs are better balanced. Thanks Kevin -
Lori S. - September 2008
Kevin made sure he actually
saw the behaviour I had discussed with him as my dog was on her best behaviour.
He also watched for behaviours in me as the problem behaviour was now
causing stress in me. Recommendations were made for both my behaviour
and Cassie's. Very good feedback after our practice periods.
Very professional. Kevin's approach is one that is easy to accept as he
is not heavy handed with the animals so that made it easier for me. But
his tactics for me to regain leadership were easy and effective. -
Diane B. - September 2008
I am very satisfied with my experience
with Bark Busters. My dog's behaviour is greatly improved I most definitely
would recommend Bark Busters to others. It's never been this quiet around
my house for a long time. - Gloria H. - September 2008
Fantastic! We wouldn't have
believed the change in our dogs. As well as being better behaved, they
are happier and more relaxed. Especially the dog we were most concerned
with. I have recommended Bark Busters to everyone I know who needs some
help with their dogs. Thanks, Kevin. - Debbie & Graham H. - August
2008
I was really impressed with Kevin's
knowledge and how well the Bark Busters training method worked for my
dogs. Thanks to Kevin there is much less barking and yelling in my house.
- Victoria H. - Aug 2008
The best training experience my
dogs and I have ever been through. I am amazed by the simplicity and effectiveness
of the Bark Busters methods! Thank you so much!! Kevin is a wonderful
trainer and a very nice man. I have already recommended him to 4 of my
friends with dogs! - Chelan I. - August 2008
Very impressed with the program
and Kevin's training techniques. - Maggie G. -July 2008
Things are progressing so
well!! I have had guests since Kevin was here last week and they have
all been amazed at how quiet the dogs are – no jumping and barking
their heads off. Regards - Linda H. - July 2008
Gave us tools to change behaviour
of dogs, i.e. barking. Has also relieved stress on family very pleased.
- Lonnie P. and Laurie D. - July 2008
We were so amazed at how quickly
our dogs behaviour changed. We are excited to keep up the training with
our dog, so great! - Carissa S. - July 2008
I am very impressed with
this program, Ilove my dog again. - Connie S. - July 2008
I am so amazed and happy
with the difference in my dogs! People that come over cannot believe that
my house is quiet as they enter, with no dogs jumping all over the place
and barking, whether they're inside or out. I am so grateful that finally
someone could help me control my dogs! I have every belief that they will
continue being good, with me following through on the training exercises.
Thank you so much for all your help Kevin!!
- Debbie H. - July 2008
We now can enjoy our dog.
We wish we would have discovered bark busters 5 years ago when our pet
first started ruling the household. - Dorothy W. - July 2008
We are really satisfied with
Lucy's change in her barking habits. It is now controlled, she knows and
understands the Bah word. ..Thanks for your help Kevin!! - Shelley
M. - July 2008
Even though we have a very tough
and long road ahead of us we now understand what we need to do because
Kevin really worked hard with us. We are happily surprised that customer
service is not an urban myth anymore and are very comforted to know that
help is just a phone call away. It's easy to see when someone is just
doing their job and when they actually care about the well being of a
family in crisis. We were going down the path of having to give up on
our rescue dog, but now Kevin has given us hope that anything is possible
if you are willing to do the work. Your company has provided an essential
service for all concerned. All we can hope for is that with his guidance
we can come out the other end with a calm and happy dog that has been
given a second chance with his third owner. Kevin is an asset to your
company and a pleasure to work with. We have already and will gladly recommend
him to anyone we know. Thank you for taking the time for feed back from
your clients, and we wish Bark Busters continued success so many more
can benefit from your knowledge.
- Judy, Robert, and most importantly, Yam Yam (the wolf in the pomeranian
suit) - July 2008
Excellent methods that actually
work! now if i can get my neighbors to enroll, we could actually have
a peaceful neighborhood. i have referred several neighbors..
THANKS KEVIN - Candace M - June 2008
What seemed to be impossible
for us, Kevin accomplished in n hour of being with our dogs! We are so
happy with the results! - Adrienne C. - June 2008
This has been the best experience
that I have had. I had my boxer go for a two week training session a while
back and she came home worse than she was when she left. I was so afraid
that we would have to get rid of her. But after our session with Bark
Busters, I am happy to say I know she won't be leaving. We are really
enjoying our dogs. And our neighbours are thrilled as well. - Lorie
R. - June 2008
I prefer to submit a subjective
appraisal of my personal experience with Bark Busters. This is a totally
new concept and I believe Kevin has succeeded in introducing the program
in a positive and persuading manner. Our first telephone conversation
was long and not rushed. It aroused my curiosity to the point that I had
to know more. - Kevin's composure is calm, confident and reassuring. You
can tell that he is a seasoned instructor. He possesses excellent teaching
skills( ie. he is clear and easily understood). His presentation is concise
and to the point. It is not weighed down with unnecessary information
and therefore easier to remember. His method of presentation followed
by demonstration and return presentation is excellent.
The first thing I noticed about Kevin is that he makes you feel comfortable.
He does not talk to you in a condescending manner as others do. It is
evident that he really believes in what he is teaching and that makes
it all the more convincing. Kevin gives real meaning to the title Behavior
Therapist which is used so loosely these days. It seems to me that the
vision of Bark Busters is being realized largely because it appears to
be "results" oriented as opposed to "profit driven".
This way the total focus of both parties is on the outcome of your experience
together. It also eliminates the anxiety caused by always wondering about
those unexpected expenses that arise with other programs...
My accolades to Kevin. Thank you - Marvel S. - June 2008
Kevin was very thorough and
explained everything in an easy to understand method. He was quick to
explain things when we had questions and quick to correct us when we went
off course. I have every confidence that once we move, he will help us
thoroughly through email or telephone if and when needed. I would recommend
Bark Busters to anyone and everyone. I think this is the best system I
have ever seen or used. Thank you so much. Our dogs have greatly improved
over a very short time of only a few days.
- Marilyn S. - June 2008
My experience has been great.
Kevin is very thorough in his teaching technique. I would recommend him
to anyone who may be interested. - Norma G.- June 2008
In only a week, Kate is much
more attentive, listens much better, walks better and we are able to do
things with her that we wouldn't even try before...like having her off
leash in the carport and visiting in strange places. I have already recommended
Barkbusters to friends who have dogs. - Ellen P. - May 2008
Everything went very well
and Abby is much calmer overall...I am very pleased with Bark Buster and
Keven McDonnell. - Gloria B. - May 2008
Troy I have seen the most
improvement in. He seems much more relaxed. Massey too has improved, occasionally
will bark in garden but shuts up with a couple of Baas. Missey is still
pushy to get out of the door and is first in the truck, but she does wait
until I tell her to go. Life is much more relaxed. Thanks. - Pam H.
- April 2008
My trainer, Kevin, has been
amazing....the first question he asked me on our initial phone interview
was what my dog's name's were. That was when I knew Kevin was the right
trainer for us. He explained things very well and helped me to understand
everything greatly. He has already been great support and am very glad
I've chosen Barkbusters. My dogs have shown great improvement and it hasn't
even been a week. I am reassured now that I will be able to keep my dogs
and take care of them for the rest of their lives. Thank you!
- Jessica D. - April 2008
...Understanding comes easily
for me, transferring that into practice takes a little more time. Your
spending so much time walking me through the exercises was exactly what
I need. I have no doubt that all three of us will succeed. I'm glad that
you put it within the bounds of 4-6 weeks practice - takes the pressure
off having to "be perfect" immediately. I've already had the
opportunity to tell a half dozen others about your work. - Diana M.
- April 2008
Since being with Bark busters
I have seen a marked improvment in how my dog relates to me. She is more
attentive to the commands that I give to her. I can only see her being
a good, well-adjusted dog when she grows up. - Jennifer - April 2008
I cannot believe the transformation
in my 2 dogs’ behaviour in such a short period of time. It is truly
remarkable. I highly recommend Kevin and Bark Busters to anyone who is
having behavioural problems with their dogs. Thank you so much Kevin.
- Andrew C. - March 2008
Kevin is a great instructor
and has taught us a lot. He is very accommodating and personable. We feel
more confident with our dogs out on walks and when meeting other dogs.
I highly recommend Bark Busters. - Donna D. - March 2008
This is totally remarkable. I can
not believe the change in Winston. He is a much happier little fellow.
Relaxes and sleeps, eats, does not scratch and lick his paws. Thanks to
Kevin McDonnell and Bark busters. Such a long time to find such a successful
solution. Thanks to Kevin McDonnell and Bark Busters. - Nancy and
Leo A.
Thank you sooo much Kevin. Bufford
is not the same dog at all. - Margaret Ann B.
Thanks Kevin! I have to say
I have years of experience working with other dog handlers and we haven't
been able to conquer some of the problems I had with Finna. You walked
in with a straight face wanting to know which issue to tackle first. It
was very refreshing to see results so quick! I'm impressed and would recommend
this system to anyone. Thanks again for your help! - Leslie G.
Kevin is a wonderful caring
person. His respect for animals impressed me and his control of our Daven
was wonderful. I would highly recommend him. - Jane P.
