Andy was terrific, arrived on time knew his stuff and was so relaxed explainging the system. He wasted no time getting us involved and pointing out where we were slipping up. I have already recommended Bark Busters to others and explained they really have to continously work at it. I know my dog's success hinges on my ability to stay on track and continously do my homework. - Wnedy L. - Barrie, ON

I can't even begin to tell how happy I am with Bark Busters! I am taking back my life again! Honestly...my puppy ruled my days and my life...and now I feel like we are both living much more harmoniously. I recommend BarkBusters to everyone I work with...and I cant wait for others to see how good Rufus is!
- Christine K. - Barrie ON.



Bark Busters gave me the tools to become the leader my dog Levi needed me to be. Bark Busters showed me the mistakes I was making which actually encouraged the bad behaviour in my dog. I was amazed how fast the system works. Although I have seen an amazing improvement in my dog Bark Busters explained to me that its just the beginning. Like everything else it takes time and practice for continued success for ME to LEARN to communicate with my dog. My dog will continue to challenge me for my new crown but with Bark Buster's " tools for success" in hand I intend to hold on to it.
- Jessica H. - Barrie ON

I had heard of Bark Busters a few years ago, and when a friend was having difficulty with her dog I suggested she check the company out. Then I realized that I was having some challenges that would benefit too! I contacted The Rays, and they spend about 45 minutes on the telephone with me talking about our situation, and made arrangements to come to our home within a few days notice.

The training was very well explained and demonstrated and Andy went above and beyond what the fee covered, including some other dogs we were dog sitting for a few weeks. It gave me the knowledge and confidence to do a better job and release the stress my own dog was feeling. I felt that we made great progress over the first few weeks and went right back to that friend to tell her to immediately book the training! I will keep reminding her until she does - it works. - Tracey C. - Huntsville, ON

I called Bark Busters because I was in a sitiuation where I had to move to a house that already had two dogs. My shepoo was not getting along with them and in fact we had a very scary altercation with one of the dogs. I decided that I needed help to correct this situation. I called Bark Busters and Andy came over to my house. Harley started to improve almost immediately with the simple tasks of waiting at the top of the stairs and waiting to go out the front door. The next week Andy came with me over to the house where I will be staying. The dogs were perefectly well behaved .I spent the better part of the day and night over there on saturday and on Andy's suggestion the dogs are on leads when in the house and separated when there is no one around. I am hoping that as the training progresses I will be able to feel comfortable with the dogs off lead. It is a good program
- Sandy B. - Barrie ON

 

Our trainer Brenda was great!! She made it all make sense. I must admit I was skeptical when my husband suggested we try this. But it has been amazing! - John & Bev T. - Dog Hoover

 

 

The entire "Bark Busters Experience" has been excellent. The improvement in our dogs behaviour when visitors arrive or leave improved dramatically and immediately following our training session. I am continuing with our homework and am seeing improvements in our daily walks and recall. I most definitely would recommend Bark Busters as an excellent dog training method and service for folks who are having behaviour - training issues with their dog. A warm and hearty thank you to the Ray's. - Lynn R. - Dog Macey

 

We were at our wits end with Abbey and contemplated putting her down or placing her with a rescue. We wanted a professional opinion of what were were dealing with. Now that we are speaking her language and understand that most of her problems stem from being anxious/nervous, many things are coming easier for us. While I know Abbey is always going to challenge us to stay on top of our game, I am relieved to know that Bark Busters is only a call away. - Wendy B.

 

 

 

.... It is early days yet but all the dogs now wait for us to go ahead of them through doors etc so that lesson has been well learned. Friends who came for dinner were most impressed with the improved behaviour of our 3 dogs expecially the lack of barking and bothering and are most interested in your programme so will probably spread the word to those who need dog training help. We will also give the information to our vets in Bracebridge - I did mention you to one of
                                                     them at the Walk-About yesterday. I wish we had known about you earlier and that Bark Busters existed 40 years ago! Will keep in touch and let you know how Chichiton progresses. Arrow now comes to John so that bit of training really helped..
.
Many thanks for a great training session - it has been most gratifying. - Gillian N.

 

 

 

Andy was incredibly thorough with the process and how to go about it. He spent a lot of time with me and my dogs and gave me the confidence to go ahead with the training. - Dana K.

 

 

 

We are very impressed with the Bark Busters training methods! We noticed results immedietly and continue to see an overall improvement in our dogs' behaviour. We have tried other trainers and methods before Bark Busters and were frustrated from the lack of results - Bark Busters works! Thanks so much - Helen K.

  

Our overall experience with the trainer was absolutely superb.She was very proffessional and explained things to us with great care.You could tell she likes animals and our dog responded to her right away.Our dogs demeanor has changed in one session and with what I consider a miracle response. Roxy (our dog) does not bark or run at the door when the doorbell rings and she seems to have settled down alot since the first session.
- Carl D.





The training techniques are so simple and easy to learn. The difference in my dog's behavior was even noticed by the neighboors. By the way, thank you for the free training aids! - Johny B.

 


Bark Busters has worked miracles with me and Bosco has improved immensely. I was also warned that he would try to start reverting back to his old ways and Brenda was right on. Bosco is now very accepting of other people and is now socializing with other dogs which is fantastic. He gets much better exercise playing with other dogs and he is much happier now. Thank you Bark Busters! - Brian F.

 

Truly amazing on how Duke has changed since Brenda was over. I am feeling more confident with him and in control (the Leader). We are working with him on a daily basis and finding that he only needs the BAH once in some situations - Cool! Have had to email Brenda a few times and she promptly returned my emails which was great and helped me along. Knowing that she is there and will revisit if required is truly awesome - that in itself helps me knowing I have support at all times. THANK YOU! - Michelle M.

 

 

Since the minute Andy left our house, Gibson was a different dog! We are all much more suited to our new positions in the pack. Gibson seems more relaxed and willing to let me take the lead and that makes me relax! We are much MUCH less stressed out and I would and will recommend Bark Busters to anyone and everyone with dogs. Every dog owner should have the information that Andy provided us with and I can't thank you enough! - Rachel B.
NOTE: Rachel is the OSPCA Criminal Investigator for Simcoe County.

I don't think a 5 is high enough for the question 1. Andy and Brenda are truly just a phone call away. This is the best customer service I have every had.

Andy was great on our visit with him. He showed is how easy it can be to have control over our girls. Now if we could get trainers for us we would be good.

We are very glad that we decided to go with Bark Busters. - Kathy M.

Brenda and Andy explained everything very clearly and it made a lot of sense. When they worked directly with Bella, we were so impressed to see her respond immediately! She's still a puppy so things are not perfect, but she listens way better now than she did before we met with Brenda and Andy. We are confident that we will have a very well behaved dog. Thanks so much! - Jason and Lacey G.

 

Thank you so much Brenda for being such a great support, being great in communications and a great teacher. I thought I “knew” it all reading the dog whisperer stuff, having the videos and all, but nothing beats a personal lesson with objective eyes. It’s like I went to an awesome seminar, but besides that, your conscientiousness, care and doggy friendship have been very special. Gratefully - Diana V.

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say “Thank You” for yesterday’s training. It was very informative and interesting and to see Duke behave the way he did was truly amazing. Well my first morning with him on this new path was awesome – I was able to get dressed and ready for work with him in the bedroom and he didn’t even try to get me at all!!!! He tried to get the cat when we first got up but I quickly put a “BAH” on that and he ignored Chico the rest of the time that I was getting ready. Anyways, just wanted to let you know that our first night and morning went well and I am totally impressed with this system. - Michelle M.

 

 

The system is amazing. I would never believe that my dogs behaviours could ever change, especially the first day. But I saw it and I believe it. Rye had definitely improved for the better, and I am a happy dog owner because of it. We still have more improvements to make but we are doing our homework.I would recommend barkbusters to anyone.
- Shaer-a-Lee M.

 

Sorry for not responding sooner but we have been very busy. We just want to let you know that Maya's behavior has improved very much over the pass month... Thank you from all of us especially a very happy puppy, Maya. (2 yr old German Shepherd) - Annie K.



Hi Brenda and Andy - I just wanted to thank you guys again for the great lesson last Monday. Titan has been much better about handling distractions (and walking in general) now that we know how to correct him and we are trying to challenge him every day to keep reinforcing what he's learned. Yesterday's challenge was to not chase butterflies (ha ha, what a goof!) or bark at the neighbour. Today the challenge was a pair of ducks on the front lawn but he didn't bark. He saw the neighbour later and did not bark in fact barely looked. I was very pleased with him. I also took him to the barn today to hear the chickens and he was excited but stayed quite under control. Thanks also to your wonderful boy, Hunter! We were impressed that he could keep his cool with 80 pounds of nasty coming at him! I know we'll have more to deal with in the future, but we're all really happy with Titan's progress. - Hermie J. - May 2009

This has been an absolutely wonderful (and rewarding) experience for our family, including Ceasar. He is like a different dog since we began training, he is much calmer and much (much, much) better behaved. In fact, he responds to my son (Jesse) & I even better than to Tim at times. Walking is proving to be slightly more challenging (for obvious reasons/distractions), but in our home the difference is remarkeable. Thank you Bark Busters (and specifically Brenda & Andy)!!!

P. S. I have already recommended Bark Busters to a young couple who have recently gotten a puppy :) - Tim & Yvette E. -

Ceasar

 

I am very impressed with the already improved bosco I am seeing even after such a short time from my visit with my trainer. I have a better understanding how to be with Bosco to help him and i both succeed.
- Krystin C.

Bosco

 

Whenever we feel like we are at the end of our rope with Lola's behaviour, an email or call to Brenda and Andy quickly gets us back on track. We are so impressed with how quickly they get to the heart of the problem and teach us (or remind us) how to correct it. I love how they don't make us feel inadequate or silly for 'bugging' them. They always remind us about the lifetime guarantee - and they mean it! There was a recent incident where I felt very afraid that Lola might be too much for us to handle due to her hypervigilance with strangers. Brenda and Andy recognized my panic and came out to our home within a week - this was over a year after they made their first visit to us. It took 15 minutes for them to sort things out and re-teach us what we needed to do. Then they stayed longer to help us with other issues we didn't think were 'as important' but turned out to be vitally important. I just remember feeling this huge sense of relief knowing that we had the tools to handle our two large dogs. - Kim and Hugh

I cannot believe how settled Lucy has become in just one week. It's unbelievable to me how well she responds to us now. Walking is an absolute pleasure. She hasn't barked at the window or the door bell yet (well maybe once or twice). I am fascinated with this approach and it makes complete sense in understanding dog behaviour. Knowing you will come back anytime is so comforting for me. There is hope that she won't hate the mail man so much. Andy was absolutely awesome with us! Thank you - Rita D.

 

I'm very pleased so far with the results. I spent an equal amount of money on obedience classes that did not result in changed behaviour at home. This system works. The change was immediate and so far is lasting. Clover is in general much more relaxed and is receiving much more positive reinforcement from everyone because she is a pleasure to be around.
- Linda N.

 

I appreciated the quick response to my request for help and the distance the trainer had to travel to my home. I was pleased how quickly my dog responded to the commands and am grateful that I found a service to change my dog's behaviour. - Tara K.

 


Bark Busters has helped me gain a much stronger relationship with my dog. He trusts me completely and is always looking to me for direction. I was amazed at how quickly the training had an effect on my dog. Within two weeks I felt confident enough to handle my dog aggressive dog on the walk and around other dogs. Thanks so much!!!!!!
-Michelle M.


Spiderman

In a nutshell, Andy and Brenda Ray of Barkbusters saved our lives. We had purchased a beautiful golden retreiver puppy from a very reputable breeder. Our kids were alot older, and we thought it would be great to have a dog again. Well, let's just say that this puppy began ruling the roost, so-to-speak, and this wonderful new addition turned our lives upside down. She is quite the character, and certainly an alpha female..she had us running through hoops, and to be honest, really regretting our decision to get a dog.

With one call to BarkBusters, support and assurances on the telephone with Brenda and 2 visits from Andy Ray - our beautiful golden retreiver pup is absolutely the most wonderful dog, and although we still have alot of work to do..we are actually enjoying our new pup, and life is a heck of alot better!!! - Nancy B.

Meet the Jackson girls -

These are the Jackson girls owned by Cassandra, who works for Toronto Animal Services and runs Precious Paws Rescue. Cassandra had this to say about her Bark Busters experience "Wonderful experience! Have seen TONS of improvement with my dogs! "

In a touching post script to the above testimonial, I recently received the following follow-up mail from Cassandra regarding LIzzie. Lizzie spent 10 years in a puppy mill before being rescued by Cassandra 4 years ago. During the entire 14 years, she had never been out for a walk. Today, on February 26, 2009 I received the following e-mail from her:

Hi Brenda - I had to email you the AMAZING news! Tonight Gerald and I went to take the dogs for a walk and Gerald was joking saying "lets take Lizzie too" so I decided to try it, because when he's standing up in the room she will jump up on the couch with me like she does with you. I managed to get a harness on her after a bit of struggle and we took her for a walk!!!! We walked with cars going by, people walking past and everything and Lizzie did AWESOME! She was wagging her tail, having a great time! She was incredible! I felt like crying!

I had no idea that we would ever get to this point with her and I truly cannot thank you enough for everything! I would never have pushed it with her and now I am so happy that I did.

I've attached a picture for you too! Thank you again Brenda!




 

 

Andy was great - very knowledgeable and confident in his training. We immediately saw results in Bruce Lee. Andy was also very pleasant to work with and really took into consideration what we were already doing with Bruce and what needed to be done to help him! We enjoyed working with him and look foward to getting together again! - Leokadia M.

 

 

Great experience. Brenda and Andy have been terrific and seem likely to continue on that path. Puppy is quite headstrong and they have been really supportive. Emails have been lengthy and correspondence prompt. - Laura F.

I found both Brenda Ray and the Bark Buster Program to be logical and easy to work with. I am very confident that with consistent work, Georgie will be an even more lovely dog than she is now. Brenda was a great instructor -- very gentle with both Georgie and myself. She instilled confidence in me that I could carry out the program and the positive reinforcements needed to train Georgie. - Sue A.

Georgie

 

                                                                                                                              Stella and Stanley      
Thank-you Brenda & Andy. Because of the Bark Buster training, my rescue Stanley has become a totally better behaved dog. This is exactly what I was looking for...Stan is such a different dog. A friend has a male shitzu that is dominant and growls and snaps at Stan and it's amazing to see Stan just turn away and not retaliate. All in all I am very pleased and so happy I called Bark Busters. - Annette P.

My husband and I were skeptics but had to change our minds after Brenda and Andy were at our home for a mere 10 minutes. Balto, a six month old puppy was continually chasing chickens, horses and a pet goat on our farm. He had killed multiple chickens and we were very concerned about keeping him. Brenda and Andy taught us how to effectively lead Balto and stop his unwanted behaviour. We were truly amazed at how effective their training methods worked. Balto doesn't even look at the chickens anymore and when the temptation to chase the horses and goat get too much, all I have to do is "Baa" him and he immediately stops and looks at me and comes when I call. At 9 months old he is still learning but on the way to being a tremendous companion, friend and protector. Thank you! - Michelle & Steve S.

 

I found it totally amazing. Especially how fast Charlie responded to the whole experience. He is ,or seems to be much happier;almost like this is what he has wanted.It is making my life alot easier. Thank You - John W.

Your program is easy to follow and personalized just for us.....Razor has done very well from the beginning and continues to improve. I would recommend you guys to anyone. - Melanie

We were very happy to see how quick the relationship between us and our dog improved a lot. He has understood his role in the pack very quick and the Bark Busters System has made the entire training process much easier.

You guys are fabulous!!! There has been such an improvement with Jessie over last year...it really is amazing!!! ,,, Thanks for providing such a great service to us!!! - Shona M.

I didn't believe there would be a change in Angel's behaviour during the first visit but I was wrong. The change was remarkable... - Carolyn H.

 

 

Andy Ray was excellent and we have noticed a huge difference in our dog. Everyone who visits us also notices a difference in Lucy. We are so glad that we called bark busters! - Naomi S.

 

Lucy

Andy did a great job. When he entered my house, my dog seemed to know that he was her Leader. I understand alot more tricks about being the leader. I also uderstand how impotant it is to be the leader to ensure Chloe listens and obeys me. Thank you for all the help so far, and I will be intouch again soon, as we need a little help with other dogs still. - Chad Z.

Thank you so much! Gordy has been much better and I have recommended you and the BAH to friends! - Sara

Me and my dog Miller have discovered a whole new relationship with each other. I am so proud of his progress since i've used the Bark Busters and I can let out a huge sigh of relief knowing that we are both happier now! Thank you so much!!! - Cassie L.


Miller 

              


It is THE best training for us to date!! I would recommend Bark Busters to anyone...in fact I've already been recommending!!! - Christina T. and Dave S.

 

 

Bark Busters is absolutely amazing, I am so impressed with the changes in my puppy (me as well). We still have work to do, but Andy gave us all the tools for this journey. It is also great to know that when we have a set back you are just a call away. - Bev B

Andy did an awesome job of establishing a great connection with our dog - Ollie. He carefully outlined the program and explained everything so that we could all understand what was required of us. - Thank you for helping us to communicate with our dog. - Brenda, Randy and Jamie P.

Ollie and Brenda


This is a great system. We have seen a HUGE improvement in Oliver, although we know that it is an ongoing, lifelong process. He is worth all the time and hardwork. Even others outside our home have noticed the improvement in him. We tell them that is is all thanks to BarkBusters.
Thank you Andy!! - Tania M. and Jeff D.                                               Oliver

 

I was very impressed with the program. Murphy is doing well, but does engage us every now and then in a power struggle, but we continue to win. The house is so quiet now it is unbelievable, you would never know there is a dog in the house at times. I have recommended the program to a couple of people at work and I know one of the guys has had a meeting with Brenda and seems very satisfied also. It is nice to know that you are always there if needed. Thank you for bringing peace into our house. - Andrea C.

Murphy

                                                                                                         
Duke
Hi Andy and Brenda - Andy,Just wanted to thank you so much for the amazing difference you've made with Duke. What a difference a day makes!! Actually a couple of hours. You were so right about Ozzy (the elder) being the instigator, he's taking a little bit more work and patience but Duke (the youngster) has been absolutely amazing. As I said on my Facebook page, BAH is my favourite new word! Thanks so much again
- Dana H.                                                                                                  Ozzy

Coco and Bo

Brenda made immediate improvements during the first visit with our dogs. We were skeptical at first about the amount of money, but half way through our first session, we both knew it was worth every penny. The bark busters philosophy is a very effective method of training. Brenda is extremely knowledgeable and has helped us a ton. Thank you Brenda. You have done wonders with Coco and Bo! What a difference. Even out of their environment while camping this weekend, they have completely made huge changes. Our daughter is no longer scared to be around them, and they are in the house with us more. Thank you. - Heather C.

Awesome experience. The concepts that Andy gave to us really made sense for us and for Valentine. We saw immediate results and have seen a huge improvement already in a very short time. We would highly recommend Bark Busters to all of our friends and family. THANK YOU!!!!
- Jen E.

Valentine 

As usual, Brenda did a great job! We finished the walking refresher and the next day ordered a pizza. Normally we put Charlotte in her cage, but this time I tried the techniques Brenda showed me and she sat on the carpet and didn't budge until the kids brought the pizza into the kitchen! A big improvement for Charlotte!!! Thanks again. - Kim M.

Mia and Gizmo both have sure changed. We can now have them listen to us instead of us listening to them . Other people say how they have changed. We have reconmened arkbusters to other people and to our vet. We thankyou so much for your time.
- Randy & Marilyn A.

It was a great experience and would recommend Bark Busters to anyone (I've already given you two recommendations) - Peggy and Gary W.

Excellent service from qualified trainers. My confidence level is obviously lower than your level of service... Thus far,I can say I'm pleased at the changes we've accomplished in such a short time, as I did not anticipate the results so quickly... Thanks again.
- Christine,Ashley,Casey and Bailey P.

Brenda was fantastic, she fully explained the source of our dog's behavior so we could understand how the techniques work to our advantage. Very helpful, very friendly, and very knowledgeable. Other dog owners in the neighborhood have commented on the change in our dog's behavior, and we have already recommended Bark Busters to other desperate owners!
- Ashley

Brenda & Andy were wonderful and really helped to instill the confidence our Foster home needed to take charge of Toby. Hopefully, they will now want to adopt him. - Southern Ontario Animal Rescue (S.O.A.R.) has always recommended Bark Busters to our friends and adoptive families, and will continue to do so. - If everyone used your methods, there wouldn't be a need for rescues like S.O.A.R. - Jan P.

I see a vast improvement and am looking forward to a full resolution. We greatly appreciated the follow up visit as it showed us some of what we were missing. Andy did a great job! - Cindy W.

 

WOW ! ! ! ! ! TERRIFIC ! ! ! ! THANKS ! ! ! ! ! ! - Kathy D.

 

 

 

George         

 

This training has made a huge improvment in our dog George. The training is great and helped us with our dogs bad behaviour. - Leah M.

 

 

 

The change in Koda is unbelievable!!! I was at my wits end with him and now we both can live with each other. I'm amazed how Bark Busters has changed his behaviour. Thanks Brenda and Andy !! - Brenda B.

We just wanted to pass on our thanks to Andy for yesterday's session. We are amazed at the difference in Lex already. We had the neighbours over last night and they actually expressed that it was like a different dog was dropped off. He still barked at an unexpected doorbell ring and entry but was brought under control immediately. Thanks again
-Mike and Kelly L.

Hi Brenda & Andy - First of all THANK-YOU !!!! I'm so glad we had you guys come out. It has been a 100% turn around for Koda. He has caught on very quickly. All and all, it is going extremely well. He seems less stressed as am I !! Brian Bradley and I just can't believe it. It doesn't seem like the same dog. We are all very happy! Thanks again. - Brenda B.

Hi Brenda and Andy - I just wanted to let you know that I took Kaycee for a walk again tonight. She did amazing! I made sure I had control leaving the house. ... I was first out the door, down the steps etc... There was one distraction (a person came up behind us) but it was not major and quickly corrected her. Other than that she stayed behind my knee, the leash was always slack except the few times I had to "bah" her so I just wanted to say thanks. It was easily the best walk with a dog I have been on with regards to control and I know I will be able to enjoy many long walks with her now. - PatriciaM.

...the whole concept of "thinking like a dog" made so much sense because finally someone told us how you actually do it! Oakley and Seger responded beautifully to Brenda and Andy - I was a little (a lot !) concerned about how Seger would respond to the initial exercise of achieving submission, but Brenda and Andy were consistent, confident and aware of my apprehension and managed it wonderfully! Our home is now quiet, relaxed, and actually enjoyable! Oakley and Seger seem to be more comfortable and laid back. The term "bah" has more power than one can imagine. We just have to say it once, ...and they immediately turn and lie down. Truly an amazing and so positive experience. I am going to write a letter to my vet and tell her about BarkBusters because it is one training techique I can confidently say works! Thank you Brenda and Andy. I cannot say enough - Carol and John H.

Aug 2007 It's still hard to comprehend that our long lasting problems with our older dog were solved in only a few hours with Bark Busters. What an amazing program! - Kim G.

March 2008 Hi Brenda - I just wanted to thank you, once again, for your expert advice on how to deal with Lola. As soon as you explained where she was coming from and helped me to see what we were doing wrong, everything immediately changed in the house. Even last night, she was a lot better. It’s so amazing. Now we just have to keep it up! - Kim G.


It was a miracle! Our dog Abby seemed to be transformed instantly. Everyone who comes to our home is shocked at how well she now behaves. I am so proud of us and Abby. Brenda was great in her explanations and I was very comfortable with the time she spent with us. I would recommend Bark Busters to ANYONE who has dog issues. Thank you very much for teaching us how to enjoy our dog so much more. - Courtney & David W.
            Abby

I can not believe the difference in our two dogs, I can get both their attention so easily now, and our big lab tucker does not jump up on myself or visitors any more.The dogs both appear happier, they can play hard but then they can rest at my request. We still have a little work to do, but everything is coming along very well. Brenda thank you, you where great. You even made a believer out of my father! - Debbie H.

Our Bark Busters experience has been truly remarkable. When friends told us about the amazing difference that Bark Busters would make, we were skeptical as we have a VERY difficult dog. The methods Brenda taught us were easy to use and, unlike obedience school, there was a reason for using the methods that made sense to us. We are very happy with Foley's progress... Thanks Brenda! - Adrian & Jayme C.
                                                                                                      Foley                 

HI BRENDA!!!! - I know it's only been a few days since you have been gone, but I do have to say my dogs are SOOOOO well behaved now. I know that we are going to still have to stick with the outlined training you have provided us, but I am so excited that our dogs have changed so much in a matter of days, and I felt like I had to pass this on to you because I am so proud of them and myself for finally having some grounding in my home. I am implementing new challenges and am happy to say that they are adhering to my house rules. Again I am so thankful that we had an opportunity to have you come to our home and show us the tools we needed to run a better household, and I have recommended Bark Busters to everyone I know that is having the same problems that I had with my dogs. I just thought I would let you know the progress we have had in the matter of four days! ;) Thanks again, - April and Paul H.

I have already recommended Bark Busters to friends and even mere acquaintances. We were truly amazed at the change in Chance's behaviour in a mere 3 hours. It's like we have a whole new dog and a new member of the family. It's truly enabled us to be confident that we don't need to return Chance to the shelter to find yet another home. Thank you so much!
- Erica H.

We found Brenda to be very informative. She spent time with us and Tucker. Tucker caught on pretty quick to the BAH. We were very satisfied with our experience with her.
- Diane & Larry P.

Thank you! I was surprised to see that our dog Maggie could be a changed dog. Brenda did a great job showing us the techniques we need to use to regain the leadership. My husband & I were both quite impressed with our dog's improvement! - Suzette D.

Excellent presentation. I felt very comfortable with Brenda and very confident of her abilities when I saw her working with Telma. The system makes sense and as long as I remember to stay in"Dog Mode" I feel comfortable dealing with the behaviour.
- Anne M.

Thank you both Brenda and Andy! The experience gave Shawn and I a great insight to the way a dog thinks. Raven is making great progress, even though she is just a puppy. We have and will continue to recommend you to all our dog owner friends! - Kelly O.

The experience was very eye opening. ... Brenda has been fastastic as I have called her for advise every once in while and she has been nothing but helpful - Michael L.

Brenda - This is the first morning walk that I can remember that I was the first through the gate, in the lead on the walk and not being towed .... by all three dogs. BAH even at very low volume it is having a distinct effect on all three. Even Riley is now allowing me to take the lead.

If this is a taste of things to come ... I'm hooked ... Thank you SO MUCH..... :) - Paul T.

After going through the training, we couldn't believe the improvement we immediately saw with our dog Jessie.... we are able to control Jessie and take her many places that were not possible prior to the training. We have had many compliments about her new behaviour that can be directly attributed to the Barkbusters Training Program, and we cannot thank you enough! - Norine & Dorian M.

An AMAZING difference! Thanks soooooooo much Brenda :) - C&T Friday

I wish I had known about Bark Busters years ago. I speak very highly of the service and I'm very proud of my dog's and our accomplishments. I used to say that I'd never own another dog for the simple reason that he was 'too much work'. Now I can see myself always owning a dog for the simple reason that 'I know how to be the leader'. My dog is now a pleasure to have around. - Kristin V. - July 2007

Excellent service. Brenda was fantastic, she explained everything in detail. Friends and family are amazed with the progress "we" have made with our dog. - Kelly M.

Brenda helped so much I can't even believe the changes in my dog in such a short amount of time. Brenda words can not express how grateful we are to have you come and work with us and Tucker. Thank you again = Elizabeth B.

Hi Brenda - I do believe that we have a completely different dog since Bark Busters!
Bear is VERY good at heading off to his safe zone away from the kids. He is also now a dream to walk and people drive by smiling at us. I'm sure it's because they're wishing their dog would be so well behaved! Thanks again. - Kristin V.

Brenda is very positive and helpful, answering all our concerns in a clear manner. I feel I have her backing when I need it and that calling on her for help would not be a failure on my part or an imposition... - Audrey D.

Now Luke does not charge us and we can touch our boys without losing a finger!! I even gave our dog ear drops and cut his nails. I could not believe that he was the same dog, and it has only been 2 weeks - Dana Z.

Unbelievable! I would never have believed that my 10 year old dog could change so much in a 1/2 hour! Thank you, thank you, thank you! - Michelle C.

On Lesson Day -

Brenda

Thanks so much for your help this afternoon. It is amazing how fast she changed. I was really at the end of my rope with her, so I really needed help. I'll keep you posted on her progress.

Thanks again.

Connie

Next Day -

Hello Brenda

We walked this morning with no problem at all. It was still dark out so there were no distractions. We walked again this afternoon after I got home from work and she did very well. There were a lot of distractions then and she did a little bit of jumping and pulling, but she was easily corrected and the walk was quite pleasant. I'm very impressed.

Thanks again......I'll keep you posted.

Yay! No more rotten little Min Pins! I am amazed at just how much Jasper and Tyson's behavior has improved in such a short period of time. It is obvious that they not only understand what we want, but also respect us enough to comply with our instructions. They are finally becoming the little gentlemen we have always wanted! Thank you Brenda, for showing us the way! - Melisa H.

... I would absolutely recommend Bark Busters. Some of the changes in Badger's behaviour are beyond belief! - Cathi P.

Buster is so much better! We still have some work but I am amazed and have given your card to two people. Thank you! - Erica B.

We were skeptical at first but were very pleased to see a noticeable difference within the first half an hour of Brenda being here. We weren't sure that after 9 years our dog could change but man what a difference in just this first week and a half. We would highly recommend Bark Busters to anyone as it really works. - Tammy B.

"Super, easy, miraculous program. We recommend Bark Busters!" - Sharon N.

Sam is calmer, more affectionate, more obedient, has better manners....I absolutely can not express how happy I am!!! I am truly amazed at the virtually immediate change and am telling everyone that I know. Thank you again. - Patty H.

What an AMAZING way to train your dog! They get the program immediately. Thanks for making our lives fun and manageable! Brenda was genuinely caring, considerate and a fabulous trainer! We highly recommend her. - Tammy C.

Thanks Brenda! This was a REAL lifesaver! Good things are talked about and you have a great thing! I'm going to share this with everyone! - Stacey C.

Brenda was able to very quickly help me take control of a situation that we thought was hopeless. We had tried everything…. Spray bottles, rolled up newspaper and within 15 minutes, the behavior was terminated thanks to the new technique. Thank you Brenda!!! We are firm “Bahlievers” in Barkbusters!! - Crystal and Rob Lea

I'm surprised Penny has taken to this training so well. I'm very pleased with the result - so fast - she is pretty smart! (BAH really works!) - Loraine C.
