Initial visit was very informative and helpful. Very impressed with the manner Patrick Logue explained and presented his methodology and feel good about our decision to continue on with Bark Busters.

We are thrilled with our first introduction session with Ellie's new trainer, Patrick. Ellie is just 12 weeks old, but she (and we) have already benefitted from our first training session. We are so grateful to know we have found such a skilled and wonderful trainer to provide our new pooch such excellent training for a lifetime!Larry & Monica Trice

What a fantastic experience and great results in the first 30 minutes was unbelievable. I’m so happy with my decision to reach out to Patrick for help. Both myself and Lulu thank you for helping us live a better life with order and less anxious walks. Excited to put what I learned into my homework everyday and enjoy my time, space and life with my wonderful dog. Thanks again Patrick and Bark Busters

I am amazed at the difference in my dog after 2 hours and 40 minutes. There are not enough positive words to express my gratitude for the training I received from Patrick. He is easy to work with and ensures that you understand all that is going on in your dog's brain. I highly recommend Bark Busters.

I was very pleased with all the information Patrick gave us. He showed me how to be the leader and ease Bella’s confusion on who is the leader. I felt very at ease with Patrick from the start, his knowledge, explaining everything to us along the way and making sure we understood. The training started working for us right away!!! I could not be happier, thank you Patrick😊

My first meeting was very informative, I found my pup listing, reacting and following the simple commands I was shown. Following the walking instructions I saw a marked improvement on our evening walk.

Pat did an incredible job helping me leash train my 2yr old shepherd. We worked first session for not even an hour and we had my dog walking right next to me and even waiting to see what why I walked with no pulling I couldn’t believe it

Patrick came in to our house and showed us how to "claim" our territory. Helped us with the pulling during walking as well.Outstanding work and so very helpful.

Patrick came to my house and did an assessment of my dog. He made both of us feel extremely comfortable and I’m confident I’m his professionalism and ability to help me and my dog connect and work together rather than being frustrated with each other!

During our first lesson, Patrick was extremely helpful and responsive! We already see a huge change in our two dogs! Thanks Patrick, and Bark Busters, for showing us how to “speak dog.”
Daniela Kuhn
23:13 24 Feb 22
I am completely amazed at how in one session my dog Thor is a completely different dog. The practices Patrick provided to speak dog have given immediate results and my morkie no longer barks at other dogs, trucks or the door bell and doesn’t jump up anymore as people walk through the door. Patrick was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with me. I would recommend him to anyone to improve their relationship with their pet.

I hadn’t been able to get our puppy Boomie on a leash. It was like trying to rope a wild horse. I was afraid of being dragged and falling because he was so crazy. With Patricks techniques he was on a leash and walking down the block. I even took him for a walk by myself last night. That may not seem like a big deal but it’s HUGE. Both dogs are responding to me this morning with the techniques I learned. Incredibly happy with Patricks work.

I am so thankful for Patrick @Barkbusters!! He is amazing!! From the moment I called to my actual training session with Patrick was 5 stars!! So knowledgeable, honest, compassionate and incredible communication!! Patrick was wonderful to work with!! I learned so much the first session and so did my 3 golden doodles ROMEO, LEO and TEDDY!!! Results in one session is amazing!! Patrick taught me how to communicate with my boys!!! If you want the program and lessons to work you need to be committed and consistent! I am already seeing results and much happier!!! My life is back!! I cannot recommend BARKBUSTERSand PATRICK enough!! You will NOT be disappointed if you go with this program. It is not cheap but worth every penny!! Thank you Patrick and look forward to working with you more!!!!Danielle Lipani

What a fun day we had getting trained by Pat! Our incredibly shy and quirky border collie was even interested in learning from "Uncle Patrick!" It was unbelievable. Pat's method is very logical but something we had never thought of or observed before. We learned a lot of tools today that we are excited to implement into our daily routine! 10/10 would recommend! So glad we were able to get on Pat's schedule and have the opportunity to learn from him. Looking forward to continuing to work with him.

We had a fantastic first session with Patrick! Our puppy had no boundaries and was getting bigger faster than we could figure out how to train her! Who knew we just needed to speak dog?! Patrick did! I think we received more training than the pups and we were left feeling much more prepared to be the leaders of the pack and have well mannered pups. I definitely haven't mastered everything yet, but I know Patrick is just a phone call away!

I am speechless with the almost instant change in my dog. I had recently adopted her and was at the point of tears because I couldn't calm her down. She walks almost so much better on a leash and she has finally stopped chasing my cat. Patrick is a saint

We absolutely loved our training session with Patrick! We’d tried so many different training sessions/methods to try to get our dog to walk on a loose leash / control his energy and nobody compared to Patrick. Within an hour, Archie was a completely different dog. He wasn’t pulling or jumping on the leash, and he was extremely obedient.I will be recommending Patrick to anyone who asks moving forward. I can’t thank him enough for how helpful he was in such a short amount of time. Looking forward to continuing to work with him.
Kyle Warner
16:50 05 Feb 22
Patrick was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable on how to work with dogs without using treats or punishment. It was a complete game changer and you could see our dog, Archie, change within the hour! I thought it was a little expensive up front but worth every single penny! Wouldn’t go with any other trainer out there! Also very helpful you have direct contact with your trainer and it’s not just a one time training session.

We adopted a 9 month old Australian Cattle Dog from friends who were moving out of the country. We took the dog because the dog was destined for the dog pound. We have had the dog about a month and it has been a nightmare. All the dog did was jump on us, on the doors, misbehave; every night was bedlam. We hired Bark Busters and Patrick Logue, who came to our house yesterday. He spent about 2.5 hours with us and the dog. By the time he left, the dog was no longer jumping and was listening to us. We were absolutely amazed and highly recommend Bark Busters and Patrick ( who handles our geographic area). We still have to practice the techniques Patrick taught us every day, but it’s so much easier to work with a dog who pays attention to you. Thank you Patrick. Peace and quiet reigned in our house last night for the first time in a month.

Our 18 mo Cocker Spaniel, Molly, is NOT the same dog after the 3 hour training session with Patrick. She has always been a puller, barking lunging pup…Covid and some family health issues did not allow for the socialization she needed.Patrick’s approach and methods are amazing. He is the ultimate professional, highly organized and focused on success for Molly as well as us! We now truly speak dog.I just returned from my first true relaxed walk with Molly…we had bikes, people, lawn service machinery and traffic…never a bark, pull or lunge!! This is the best investment possible for a long and ideal relationship with our Molly. Thank you isn’t enough, Patrick!! So grateful to have found you & Bark Busters.Lynn & John Hunt

The appreciation that we have for Patrick is unmeasurable! In only two hours, our chaotic household became a sanctuary. To our surprise, having two young cattle dogs, is not as challenging as we thought. Patrick’s understanding and explanation of both human and dog behavior will forever change our lives. Having a harmonious life with our furry family members is all we all desire.. Now after our experience with Patrick, we finally feel know that this will be true.

Patrick was amazing! We saw immediate results. We have struggled with behavioral issues with Ollie for 2 years and were extremely frustrated and didn't know what else to do. Patrick was able to help us in just a 2 hour lesson get results that are just amazing! He worked with our other dog as well so that all the rules are the same for both dogs. It is already better than we could have hoped. Everyone who visits us can't believe they are the same dogs because they are so well behaved! We are very excited to continue to work with him and train Ollie and us!

We're one week into training and I already see improvement. Both dogs are high energy breeds and less than two years old.A couple months ago it began to feel like I was loosing control of my house to these pups, I've gained control back thanks to Patrick from Bark Busters.Thank you.

It was a great experience working with Patrick. He came in and within minutes he was able to calm down our two wild dogs. I was shocked at how quickly he was able to help us be able to interact with them. We are incredbly thankful. I would highly recommend.

Patrick arrived on time and prepared to work. We spent time together discussing his approach to dog training as well as how we impact and continue the training moving forward. He collected our thoughts and goals and set expectations against those goals. Patrick spent 2 hours with us and our puppy. By the time he left our puppy was already responding to us in the desired manner. Prior to our time with Patrick our puppy was an escape artist, entering and exiting every door as soon as it opened. Now 3 weeks later our puppy sits at an open door and waits for permission to pass through. We have been able to take the training techniques Patrick introduced to our family and make our puppy much safer on our walks. We have a puppy that now stops at street crossings and waits for permission to cross greatly reducing the possibility of a vehicle incident. If you have a new puppy or you want to teach your older dog new tricks you cannot go wrong with Patrick and Barkbusters!

We're so grateful to Patrick for coming to our home and helping us with Charlie, our great Pyrenees mix. Charlie was jumping on my daughter and I and nipping and we were afraid it would escalate to biting. Within an hour, Patrick taught our entire family how to effectively deal with this behavior. He's professional and has so much knowledge to share. There are many companies out there claiming to be the best, but Bark Busters is the real deal and their techniques work. Patrick is amazing and we would recommend him to anyone.

My boy Beau is a 4yr old 80+lb Pit Bull mix. As of late, Beau became aggressive towards people in passing especially those with their dogs. Beau became very hard to walk on leash and we had to extremely limit the time and place of his walks. My neighbors and their pups WERE terrified. I love Beau, I must say this did start to have an affect on our relationship. We needed help.Many of my friends recommended Bark Busters. I had to make the call. Patrick came to my house, and in less than an hour these issues were taken care of. It was magical. Beau and I learned so much together. Even typing this makes me emotional. I feel as if I have my dog back. He’s so much more playful and seems very happy, as do I. Patrick taught me how to be a better dog dad. Beau and I have never been better. My girlfriend is no longer afraid to walk him. My neighbors do not avoid us anymore. I will be forever thankful for the help in improving Beau’s quality of life allowing him more freedom in being himself. My only wish is that I would’ve made the call to help us learn much earlier. Thank you so much Patrick. This is the first google review I have ever taken the time to write. Worth it times ten.

There’s not enough good things I could say about Patrick and the miracle he has performed on our dog. I called Patrick on Monday (6/14 at 2:30pm) to schedule some follow-up training after our dog had an aggressive incident with a neighborhood dog. By Tuesday (6/15 at 4:30pm), Patrick came to our home was able to fix the behavioral issues our dog was having and help us reinforce proper training techniques. 6/5 stars and would HIGHLY recommend!
Mia Estrada
00:14 12 Jun 21
Patrick is awesome! He puts everything into a perspective that you can understand. The training was not at all what I was expecting, but I have zero complaints. I have a very sweet, but reactive pitty. Her leash training was 75% better after the first 2 hours. I called to let him know what she needed more help on, and he was right back to help. His training teaches you how to calm your dog in any situation! It is not just a bandaid on a problem. I completely recommend.
Dawn Hall
16:53 05 Jun 21
Our first visit was awesome! Patrick took detailed time to explain the techniques to us and was very patient, with us as well as Fur kid Buster. We have already started seeing a difference in Buster’s anxiety level- and he calms down much faster when we use “dog speak”!

I have a 6 month old labradoodle named Bo. Patrick came to my home yesterday. I thought the training might be like all the other training I’ve had in past, but it was completely different. It was amazing. The training techniques were explained and demonstrated concisely and understandable. We worked on things in which l had concern, but in a different way than I had imagined. Particularly, walking Bo on the leash... in matter of minutes he was walking without pulling me down the street. It was great! I practiced the next day it was an enjoyable walk ... with some corrections, but overall very good. I think Bo is a good dog, but implementing the Bark Busters dog training techniques will make him a great dog!
Sue Edwards

We are absolutely amazed at how quickly both of our dogs responded to Patrick and the Bark Busters method. Neither dog did well with other trainers; however, what they achieved today was miraculous! Amazing training!

15:11 14 May 21
My wife and I are literally amazed. Yesterday a truckload of roofers arrived unannounced to put new tiles down. Noisy! Candie (our dog) barked like she’s always done. I corrected her using the technique we learned, and that was IT! Later I invited someone in, something that had become stressful due to Candie’s aggression. Again, a few corrections and she settled down, went to her donut (her decision) and fell asleep. We are practicing and studying the instruction book, and excited about a new start with our “new” dog.If you’re dog’s behavior is not what you wish it would be, I strongly, unequivocally recommend Bark Busters.

Patrick with Bark Busters has been amazing! We have a reactive and anxious American Bulldog and the training with Bark Busters has made a huge difference in his behavior. We tried 2 other training programs without any success.Bark Busters focuses on the dogs mental state so that the dog can be calm. I couldn’t believe how simple and easy the training has been. Our dogs are making great strides each day.Patrick is quick to reply to emails and gives us feedback on how we are doing. I wish we would have gone to Bark Busters from the beginning!

We had been with another trainer for nearly a year with almost zero progress. Patrick came out and we saw a huge difference from the get go and we learned how to communicate in a way that our dog (a Belgian Malinois) would understand. Our vet had made it sound like she was going to need to be medicated with sedatives her whole life. After one session with Patrick she is being responsive, listening, and walking on the leash like an angel. I am so impressed with Patrick. Very professional and knows what he's doing. Worth every penny.

If you are having issues with your dog or dogs Patrick with Bark Busters is excellent. He is very professional and assures you if you do the work your dog training will be a success. He is reliable, accessible and patient. After the first session I knew I chose the right trainer.

We have had multiple home visits from dog trainers trying to get a feel for their style and have never committed to one for countless different reasons. All the trainers coming over with their pitches had left me jaded so I was still skeptical when Patrick with Bark Busters came over. He sat us down for a quick run through of their methods which already felt like a breathe of fresh air. Having the methods explained thoroughly to me was already better than the "Do this because I am the expert you don't need to know why you are doing it if it works" method. It seemed to good to be true no treats, no shock collars, no expense boarding, no off-site training, and no pinch collars. We saw instant results, both of us and our two large dogs were shocked. Walks used to be a chaotic stressful affair but after the first session with Patrick I walked both of them the next morning and it was the calmest walk I have ever experienced with them. I'm looking forward to future sessions and highly recommend them if you couldn't tell.

I can’t thank Patrick enough for the time he took today with me and my Boston “terror”, Levi. I never thought I’d see the day where he would sit by comfortably and calmly when a new person was in the house. I didn’t think I’d see him walking at my side instead of pulling when we take walks either. This was achieved within 2 hours! I was able to “claim my space” in the kitchen and I just made Levi his dinner while he waited outside the room instead of underfoot. So amazed. I know I need to keep up on this and continue to practice these skills but I’m so grateful!

Patrick did an amazing job explaining how to change my dog’s unwanted behaviors by speaking his language. It only took 75 minutes and we can now practice on our own. We haven’t been able to get around people or other dogs...ever. We now look forward to walks with our dog. Can’t recommend Bark Busters enough.

We reached out to Bark Busters when our four year old mini dachshund was not adapting well to living with our cat, along with a few other issues like excessive barking on walks and at guests. Patrick was incredibly professional, through, and is always very responsive. Some cases can't have miraculous overnight transformations, but ever since we started training with Bark Busters, we've seen steady progress. And now I can say that our two pets (cat and dog) can often be in the same room without any issues - and I wasn't sure that was possible when we started! We still have a ways to go, but now I know we can get there.Even if you feel like you have a difficult case, the Bark Busters system of steady reinforcement over time really makes a difference.*Update with photo*Another half a year (or so) later and they’re doing great! This still isn’t a common occurrence but I found them sharing the sunny spot on a chair the other day.

17:12 01 Mar 21
IF YOURE LOOKING FOR THE BEST DOG TRAINER EVER LOOK NO FURTHER- We just finished our second lesson with Patrick from BarkBusters and the transformation has been nothing less than amazing! We have a 1 year old golden retriever named Mamba and have tried a different training service with no success. They wanted to have us board and train him when his issues were with us. He would jump, pull on the leash, become territorial, has bitten me before and just seemed anxious all the time. After Patrick came to our home one time, it was a night and day difference. He educated us on how to communicate effectively with Mamba using his language and has been helpful even when he isn’t around. He responds quickly to all calls and emails and has really stayed in contact with us to check on our progress. After only a couple lessons, we now have a calm, happy dog who is really enjoying his life, and the comfort of knowing we can call Patrick whenever we need help really makes a difference. Patrick has truly changed our lives and is the best dog trainer ever!!!

We first worked with Patrick 2 years ago when we got 2 puppies. He helped us lay a solid foundation. Fast forward 2 years, after a move and the addition of a third dog, we were living with an unruly mob. Since we had the “lifetime support” plan I contacted Patrick and he came out to help get us back on track. The refresher was super helpful and almost overnight, the unruly mob of 3- 100 pound dogs transformed into well behaved members of the family. It DOES take continued work and training but I’m super happy to have Patrick to turn to when we have a specific issue or need a general refresher.
Kaitlin Lynch
17:02 03 Feb 21
I highly recommend Patrick with Bark Busters above all the other trainers out there!! (and my black lab Nugget and I have worked with a TON of them!)I was amazed by how calm, patient, understanding & effective his methods were. In a word - SIMPLE.After my first hour lesson with Patrick I had more CONFIDENCE (and hope that things could change) than I ever dared dream!Every time Patrick shows us a new training exercise, he explains why it works, watches us try it out, and provides pointers. He then sends us home with a “homework handout” to help remember what to do and why. . . It literally couldn’t be any easier.But let’s be real - the only thing that matters are RESULTS and that’s exactly what we’ve been getting!I’m so relieved we finally found a great dog trainer... I only wish we had found Patrick and Bark Busters sooner!!

After our initial session in September things were going great with our dog Birch, in December Birch decided he would bark relentlessly when going for car rides, we called and scheduled a follow up visit for this issue. We just had our follow up visit completed this week and I am happy to say Birch is once again riding in the car quietly. The training/coaching methods utilized truly WORK as long as we remain consistent using them. Bark Busters has been a godsend and has given us a great relationship with our furry best friend. I would highly recommend Bark Buster's services.
Christopher Tann

We have a Border Collie puppy and she's a little monster. Patrick's presentation, set up and attention to detail was A+. Once he educated and set standards with us Patrick went to work with Pumpkin. It took Patrick about two minutes to have Pumpkin obeying his commands. Well before the lesson was over Pumpkin was a completely different puppy. She was calm, listened well and was rewarded for being in the green zone. Patrick is a prime example of why you hire a professional to help you with something you're not an expert in. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Bark busters has been so helpful since I picked up the phone to ask some simple questions. Then when our trainer patrick came into the picture it was a game changer. In one lesson me and my dogs relationship has changed so much. He was so hyper and hard to.manage and now is alot calmer and listens when I say a command. Patrick is an amazing trainer cna can't wait to see how much more my dog Oso grows.

First meeting with Patrick was very informative and comprehensive. Had beginnings of success right away. We were really pleased to see what could be accomplished with knowledge and a lot of determination, & patience!Patience is the hardest to accomplishment with these pups we have as they are shelter dogs, and both are 11 months, so not puppies anymore. But we could see things start to work right away. We decided to go with Patrick and we feel like we've made a great choice with a trainer.

After rescuing our dog during quarantine, going back to work quickly became a nightmare. Our dog Bruce slowly escalated from going thru trash and ripping apart pillows to destroying the bedroom door and ripping up carpet.We followed all the general guidelines of helping a dog with separation anxiety that you can find on google and had him on strong medications from our vet. He still only got worse.After just one session with Patrick, I spent the next several weeks practicing the exercises he taught me to help Bruce with his separation anxiety every single day. After 3 weeks of this, we were successfully able to leave Bruce alone the entire time we were at work (8 hours)! He was calm the entire time and nothing was destroyed!Going from not being able to even go grocery shopping or to the gas station without constantly checking the cameras to see what Bruce was getting in to, to now being able to leave for work without having to worry about the amount of money all the damage will cost, is truly priceless.I will definitely be calling Patrick if any other behaviors arise in Bruce, with confidence in knowing I am making the right choice for my dog and myself. Thank you Patrick!

I reached out to Bark Busters in need of help for my pup. My main concern was her separation anxiety, I couldn’t even go to the bathroom without her standing at the door and barking/whining. I had done so much research on YouTube and google to find ways to help with this, all without any success. I had one session with Patrick in my home, and she improved so much in that one session. Not only did he give me tips on helping with her separation anxiety, he helped me train her to walk on the leash better and to stay calm when another dog/person is near. It’s been a few weeks since my session and my pup has made so much progress. She is now comfortable on her own for up to 45 minutes to an hour and walks so well on her leash. She is calm and happy, and also becoming more comfortable being by herself. We still have some room for improvement, but we work on it everyday. Even my neighbors have noticed her behavior improving. They teach you ways to communicate with your dog in ways that your dog will actually understand. When they showed me these tips, I was like WOW it all makes so much more sense! No wonder what I was doing was not working! They also check in with you from time to time to see how everything is going, and extra help is always available if needed. I have been recommending bark busters to everyone with a dog, puppy or not! If you have any kind of issue with your dog and their behavior, or just want tips on basic training, they have everything you need and more :)

I chose to go with bark busters because of all the amazing reviews and I’m here to add another one since bark busters is no joke! I have a 6 month old puppy who has almost every issue in the book and after just one session there was significant improvement! She started to behave and do things I never thought we would accomplish. I’m blown away with how quickly the methods are working. Very happy with my decision on choosing bark busters! Patrick is our trainer and he is amazing!

Patrick was very professional and worked with me and Oliver in a respectful and considerate way. Oliver is already responding to his suggestions and I am confident together we will rid him of his bad habits. I would highly recommend Patrick to help you train your dog, who as we know is our loving companion.

Amazing dog training. I really thought my dog bear could never be fixed but after just one session he’s already better behaved. Obviously it’s going to take time but Patrick completely prepares you by teaching you how to “speak dog” and gave us some home work to help both us and our dog understand eachother better.Overall if you’re on the fence definitely go for it. You will not be disappointed.

From the moment Patrick arrived, it was clearly obvious just how passionate he is about his profession. My husband and I embarked on the magical journey of dog ownership with thoughts of a blissful happy ever after. Reality hit us head on and we found ourselves in a situation that we simply could not navigate alone. God bless Patrick for his devotion to helping people like me and our over confident Sunny become the family we envisioned. Put your trust in Patrick and learn to speak dog! You will not regret the investment.

We used Bark Buster's a few months ago for our anxious & reactive dog but long-term was not the outcome we had hoped for. Patrick is great & personable but not the trainer for ALL dogs, especially with behavioral issues. This type of training is a lot more geared towards obedience than reactive type/changing a dogs mindset. After a while, your dog will not care if water is being sprayed when they're loading/reacting towards another dog/human. Recommend this type of training for easier dogs.

I cannot say enough positive remarks about Bark Busters! Patrick had both of my crazy pups walking nicely on a leash half way through the first lesson and I have never seen them this calm and attentive before. Highly recommend.

The Life of Dog training through Bark Busters is truly amazing. Patrick is a consummate professional--so happy we could invite him back over to address a few lingering problematic behaviors. I highly recommend Bark Busters--worth every penny.

Bark Busters was the 4th dog trainer we retained to help us with our 60 lb. Lab Mix. I know the trainer teaches humans how to train their dogs. Bark Busters provided us with the simplest way to finally achieve success so that our pet will be well-mannered when guests arrive and also to walk calmly on leash. Positive results were immediate, and I know that repetition and consistency will assure that our lives will be stress-free and more enjoyable by having an obedient and happy pet indoors as well as outdoors.

It was a pleasure meeting Patrick at my home today. He was extremely knowledgeable and presented his information in a very clear and understandable manner. In just one session I feel confident that Blondie and I will have a much better and less stressful relationship while enjoying our walks. I look forward to putting the information I was given today to work.

I was skeptical to see any immediate results from Patrick, only because Ive trained and worked with dog trainers a lot in the past. I was pleasantly surprised that after just a few exercises with my dog, she was immediately responding. It still take a lot of work, and continuous practice but I can see small improvements with our new rescue already. Will definitely be calling Patrick back for continued training and in order to stay on track!

If you've been contemplating a trainer for as long as I have .... just make the decision and get one!! Patrick spent 2 hours with my high energy toy goldendoodle and I immediately saw a difference in her behavior during training! He sat down with us to give present all the information we needed to understand how to communicate effectively with dogs. Once we verbally went over what was needed to do we did numerous exercises. Literally within minutes of each exercise my dog acted completely different and in a positive way! Since he left, we have been utilizing the tooling he gave us. There is no more excessive barking, bothering to play when it isn't play time, jumping up on me, and walking on leash is fantastic! Every day gets better and I can already tell my dog listens to me and respects me more! Thank you Patrick!

Wow, what a great experience. I am sure glad that I decided to contact Bark Busters. The training is so easy to follow and makes so much sense. Once you learn these simple no nonsense methods, it will make perfect sense why nothing else worked before. We saw improvement almost immediately and will continue with the homework to keep our girl on the right path. Patrick is awesome.
Nancy Swanson
22:23 15 Sep 20
Wow! Patrick is retraining me most efficiently. First session has a lot of info but I was able to put the basics into practice right away. The dogs respond beautifully! Since they got a D on the initial survey, I'd say we're at a C+ already. Looking forward to continued progress.

Patrick came into our home today and our puppy was jumping, mouthing/chewing on his fingers, and climbing all over Patrick, during our human training. When our human training was completed we all got to work.Using our body language and dog speak we were able to change bad behavior especially when Cody charges the door barking.Our outside training on his new leash was extra helpful and we saw a great improvement in how he walked with us.We are looking forward to many more changes in Cody as we continue on this journey with Patrick to help us enjoy our new family addition.

Patrick introduced us to speaking dog to our furbaby! It works!!!!! Ghost didn't know what happened. He went from an obnoxious barking dog to actually accepting Patrick with manners. We have work to do in order to continue this wonderful behavior but every minute we spend with Ghost will only make a beautiful companion. Thank you Patrick!

We are new dog owners. Never having a dog we were not sure what to do to make sure our puppy would be a responsive well behaved puppy. Patrick took time to go over everything in detail and answer all of our questions. The method is simple and worked immediately with Lily. We have the tools and backup needed to continue our training with Lily.

Patrick was outstanding in transforming our little devil of a dog into the little angel we knew she could be. Patrick was able to make bigger improvements in our dog's behavior in two hours than two complete training sessions with a big name pet store. All of our friends and family who have seen her since her training have noticed the massive improvement in her behavior. I would highly recommend Patrick and Bark Busters to anyone looking to train their dog.

Patrick has made such a difference in our lives. I now know how to speak to my dog in a language he understands and we are the better for it! I can't say enough good and wonderful things about the training. Don't think about calling, just do it. It's so very worth it!

Patrick just left my home about an hour ago and I have new dogs! Both miniature schnauzers are more responsive and more chill. I know there are more hurdles to handle but the techniques taught to me today should make those hurdles very doable. I thought I knew how to train a pup but with these schnauzers I met my match. In less than 2 hours with Patrick, I learned new techniques that had quick results as well as, what I hope to be, long-lasting results. I can already see the difference. Just made my lunch and no pups under feet in kitchen. Nice!Thank you Patrick for the patience, professionalism and progress!

Having a new puppy is hard work and you often feel like you are losing the battle. This is how I felt when I called Patrick. He showed me how to speak to my dog so that I could enjoy a calm, obedient boy. I’m so glad I called and had this opportunity to work with Patrick. It has literally changed how I interact with my dog on a daily basis. If you are struggling with your dog do not wait another minute to call Patrick. He’s so knowledgeable and works with you every step of the way!

I loved Bark Busters’ gentle training methods. They were way more simple than “traditional” methods and Patrick was very helpful in helping us communicate with our mini Aussie in a way that he would understand us better. I’ll readily recommend Patrick to anyone who has trouble with their pup.

Great service and training! After the first training with both my frenchtons, I saw a huge difference from the time we started to the ending. My puppies are already behaving and adjusting to the new changes smoothly. I look forward to seeing them improve everyday with the new tools barKbusters and Patrick provided.

I absolutely was blown away with Patrick! I was sooo very Skeptical in the beginning, but only after 20 mins of working with my array of dogs I was shocked at what he taught us and even more so of we we were getting our dogs to do!!!! I’m so thankful I went forward and soo looking forward to our next meeting!Thank you so very much ... I feel 200 percent betterKim Dean2nd visit with Patrick and his training techniques.Class was awesome ... it really works!! We hoomensJust have to stay committed to the process as he said....

I have two very hyper dogs that somewhat listened to my commands. I thought we’d have to have multiple sessions just to get them to settle down. Boy was I was wrong. It only took Patrick two minutes to get them to listen. I was dumbfounded when I saw this. We are utilizing the same techniques daily, and it’s still working. I would definitely recommend Patrick with Bark Busters Home Dog Training as your home dog trainer.

First, this is not a Home Dog Training... it is a Home People training. I say that because, I learned more than my dog did. Within the first couple of hours I felt so much relief that I would be able to deliver a good start for my german shepherd puppy. Patrick was amazing!! I may never be able to bark as well, but I know my puppy will be equipped with the best training in the industry and I will sleep better tonight knowing I will be a better pet owner. Do I recommend Patrick and Bark Busters... you bet!!!

We just had Patrick at our home for our puppy's first training session and we are amazed at the results already. Kona's leash manners have improved greatly, she's no longer stopping to eat everything in sight, and we can leave our bedroom door open without her going in. Patrick is very kind, friendly, explains everything in a simple way, and answers any questions. We are so glad we hired Patrick to turn our pup into the well-behaved dog we have dreamed of having.

Patrick taught us how to speak dog and it has made a huge difference in such a short amount of time. It has made working with our dog Boomer more fun and rewarding. The best part is that Boomer and my husband and I are all more calm and happy. We are so excited for what we will learn as we progress on this journey and even more excited to share our lives with our well - balanced pup who knows we are in charge, so he doesn't have to be! Thank you, Patrick and Bark Busters!

Patrick has come to my house twice and, in that time, my dogs went from uncontrollable to well-behaved. One dog was a crazy barker and also a very strong leash puller, so we hardly ever walked him. Now he’s reduced his barking by at least 90%, and he is completely docile and obedient on walks. After only two leash lessons, the change has been amazing.Our other dog is a rescue who prompted the call to Patrick because she was snapping at my teenager. She, the dog, still isn’t crazy about the teenager, but she now knows who’s the the house and that it’s not her. If I had known earlier how things would change, I would have called Patrick sooner.

My family just finished our first training session with Patrick for our 10 month old pit bull Cecil. I was astonished at what was accomplished within a couple of hours and how our dog reacted to the session and the results from my family and I beginning to "speak dog". He just gets it now. Cecil is now a well polished dog on our walks and virtually everyone that we encounter out in public stops and comments about how well behaved he is on the leash. He really is a good walker now in stark contrast to how he was previously. I really did not like walking with him as he was constantly pulling (He's a very strong puppy!), jumping on people and sniffing everything wildly. It was chaos. Now, Cecil AND his owners are in the green zone and it is SO much more pleasant!

We have a six to seven month old rescue that we acquired when he was roughly six weeks old. He was brought to our attention of be malnourished and abused. I then went and got him and myself and my girlfriend began nurturing him back to health. From day one he has been very scared and afraid to warm up to anyone especially a male. We started trying to hook a leash up to him and try to walk him which in turn triggered something very traumatic. We could not figure out what was causing this trigger. We tried and tried till we had no hope. I did some google research and found Bark Busters online and saw countless number of five start ratings on the trainer Patrick’s techniques. We decided to make the call and received all the information and made an appointment for Patrick to come to our home. When I say it was the perfect fit is an understatement. Patrick showed up at our home today and we sat and went over everything we have observed. His way of being was unbelievable. When our dog Sam Cookie showed his fear, Patrick gave the most inspiring hope we have ever seen. To watch and learn how to ease our dogs mind with no verbal or physical handling was unreal. Sam Cookie showed he was still scared but didn’t excuse the fact that he needed this. The overall experience for the first visit was undeniably amazing and much of a relief. Thank you Patrick from the bottom of our hearts for stepping in when no one else would and recognizing what needed to be done. We are forever grateful and will be calling again for your assistance.

This year I knew what I wanted....a quiet home. With 3 dogs, all different breeds, I could only use one word to describe them....NIGHTMARE. Well if you want the best, you go to the best. This is when I found Patrick. We only began our training last week, but WOW! After our first training, I felt empowered. I was finally in charge of my pack instead of feeling like an overworked, underpaid, daycare worker. Patrick took charge of this unruly crew the minute he entered the room. With Patrick's tools and guidance, I am looking forward to happy furchildren and a peaceful and quiet home. After two lessons, it has been one of the best decisions I have made. Looking forward to continuing our training with Patrick:) Thank you Patrick!

We recently adopted a rescue pup (at 10 weeks) Siberian Husky/Dutch Shepard mix called Luna ~ I owned a German Shepard once but never went thru the “puppy phase” soon my daughter and I realized we were in a bit over our heads so I contacted BarkBusters Fort Myers and scheduled training with Patrick Logue... from the start the communication was top notch via phone email and text, we were able to do some research with Patrick’s YouTube videos prior to our first training day, we did not want to train her using painful collars, shock etc. and we realized Patrick’s philosophy was perfect for us.Our first session was SO informative and easy to comprehend, Patrick was patient with me and my daughter Isabella and shared info verbally, on paper and in followup emails.We both quickly saw Luna in a whole new light using the first practice methods he shared.He also made it clear the work is hard and needs to happen daily if we want Luna to be the family dog we hope she will be... consistency, patience, practice and asking for help when we get frustrated is working for us.We are now working with her daily and feel more confident and thrilled as we move forward with training at her 4-5 month stage.Patrick is available to us when ever we reach out via email or phone and he always shares exactly what we need; Isabella and I know that we found the true dog training expert in our area and want everyone to know no matter what there is always hope and solutions for you and your pup! Call BarkBusters Fort Myers ~ they are and will forever be our new best friends in the dog training world!

Patrick has helped us with our 5 month old mixed breed dog, Norman. With 3 young kids and a puppy our life was pretty crazy. He quickly came into the home and provided us the tools needed to keep Norman calm and how to handle him when he gets hyper. After the initial training, we did our best but when in the real world we forgot some of the techniques. He came back few weeks later and helped us build our confidence. It has been little over month since our first meeting and we have seen amazing results. He was also helpful with helping us learn with how the kids should properly interact with Norman. There have been some natural setbacks but we quickly go back the materials he provided us and try again. I would hands down recommend Patrick and Bark Busters Fort Myers.

Patrick was amazing! We have a new dog! Our Indie is super timid and very protective. Patrick showed us how to “speak dog” and establish boundaries. Setting up an appointment is well worth the wait! She no longer pulls us along on walks and respects our space. There are no gimmicks to this training, just following through on the program and working on communication with our dog. Before calling Bark Busters we tried Petco training... a total waste of time, online videos that were useless and as a last resort had even thought about e-collar training (which I’m glad to say we’ve never done and will never need!)Thank you for everything Patrick!!

Patrick helped change our lives for the better. I feel more comfortable and more confident when walking our adoptive pittie. He showed me the correct tools to communicate with her the transformation is shocking. I highly recommend Patrick and his team don’t hesitate any longer bring the peace you and your fur baby both deserve.

To say Patrick is amazing is truly an understatement! His methods are more simple than any training method I've ever used, and his results are much faster. I have worked in veterinary medicine for the past 20 years so dogs with aggression are nothing new to me. I've adopted aggressive dogs in the past and have always been successful in transforming their behavior over time....until now. We adopted a dog with fear aggression and trust issues about 7 months ago and recently decided he needed more help than I could give him, so we called Patrick. Our dog is aggressive toward strangers and wouldn't let anyone into our house unless we locked him up or restrained him with a harness and leash, and bribed him with lots of treats. Because of this, Patrick initially met us without our dog present. He taught to us how to speak dog and assured us that when he entered our home we would be able to control our dog's reaction to him with no physical restraint or bribery. Everything he explained made sense, but knowing what a lunatic our dog became around strangers made me have doubts. Patrick gave us about 10 minutes to do some very simple exercises with our dog on our own while he waited outside. Then he rang the doorbell AND knocked on the front door. Our dog started his usual craziness but when we talked to him in dog language HE LISTENED TO US!!! Patrick walked into our home and we were able to keep our dog calm and under control with no leash or treats! I never would have believed such a drastic change could happen in such a short period of time! Seeing such instant results makes us excited to practice "talking dog" and to see what other behavioral breakthroughs we can achieve! Thank you Patrick Logue and Bark Busters!**UPDATE:During our session last August Patrick taught me how to properly communicate with my dog, and the results of this have been nothing short of incredible! My dog was a complete lunatic before we met Patrick, but since that day he has been understanding and listening to me (because I speak dog now) ALMOST all of the time. He has been a perfect boy EXCEPT when we would pass another dog, bicycle or person running while we were on walks. I saw a huge transformation in every other aspect of my dog's behavior but was struggling so much with this that I questioned whether my dog was even capable of remaining calm in these situations...Today Patrick came back for a second session and within TWO MINUTES (I swear no exaggeration!) he had my dog walking as though he has always been a perfect angel and I was just making up stories about him lunging and barking and seeming possessed! I must have been slurring my words in doggie language because as soon as Patrick corrected me, I was able to walk my dog calmly past kids running, a man on a bicycle and other people walking their dogs. I even recruited some neighbors to try to trigger my dog's inner maniac so that Patrick could see what I had been dealing with, but they couldn't! As long as I did what Patrick said, my dog wasn't phased by a thing! I clearly need to practice and become more fluent in speaking dog, but it was so reassuring to see that my dog CAN be unreactive in these situations as long as I "speak" clearly! I'm so excited to continue working on this, and hope we encounter some more bicycles on our walk tomorrow!Patrick's ability is one of those few things in life that seem too good to be true....but REALLY IS that good!Thank you Patrick!!!

We had a great experience with Patrick. It's a very interesting approach and effective almost immediately. Lyric, Barkley and Presley were in aww of our new "voice".

Timely, professional, friendly and educational.... that's how I describe Patrick's initial visit to assist with our doxie's issues. Results were obvious almost immediately... the most important lesson I learned is to "train" all the time. It may not seem important to have your dog out of the kitchen but the training does matter....

Our dog, Tazer, would pull hard everytime we would take him out, whether its leaving the house or getting out of the car. Within 3 minutes, Patrick had him walking on the leash as the most perfectly behaved gentleman around! I cannot thank Bark Busters (and Patrick) enough, I can now look forward to our daily walks and visits to the park without being yanked. Thank you Patrick for improving the relationship between Tazer and myself!Connie Greenan

Bark Busters came to our house today! WOW! What a turn around for us and our dog! The system is VERY easy. We LOVE the simplicity of the training since we are new dog owners and our Pom owned us. Our dog knows we love him and now we also have boundaries! Call or email Patrick today and let him show you the training. He will come back as often as needed and help you develop positive behaviors in your dog so you can live life without crazy dog behaviors. Learn dog language today! Call Patrick.

I cannot talk highly enough of Patrick and Bark Busters.Prior to training with Patrick our rescued 1.5 year old hound mix was unmanageable. He had dominance aggression, would growl when touched and sometimes even looked at, guard the furniture, bark and jump on anyone coming in the house, and constantly pull while on leash. For a period of time I was genuinely afraid he was going to bite me or a visitor in our home. He ran the house, we didn’t.Patrick (the 2nd trainer we’ve been to) taught us how to become experts in communicating with our dog and set boundaries to regain control of the house. This drastically changed our relationship with our dog for the better. The dominance aggression has subsided, he’s significantly less reactive when visitors come into the home, and walks are now enjoyable. We stopped feeling sorry for correcting our dog and learned its okay to say no. More importantly we’ve learned how to say no in a way dogs understand.Not only are Patrick’s training techniques and style incredible, he’s also super responsive. It’s reassuring to know we can call with questions or set up follow up session at any time.Thank you Patrick for helping us reach the relationship we’ve always wanted with our dog!

We've only had our first initial visit with Patrick @ Bark Busters, for our 3.5 month old Pitbull and obviously shes still in puppy mode but we've gotten her to stay focused on us (WITHOUT using treats, screaming, yelling, or having to grab her) by using SIMPLE commands and terms. We are extremely satisfied with Patrick and the techniques he introduced to make US better dog owners. We are confident in Patrick's process and cant wait to see what kind of dog she turns out to be because of the training we are undergoing as owners.Thank you Patrick! So happy to be apart of Bark Busters Family!

I can't say enough great things about Patrick and Bark Busters. While we are both "animal experts" as veterinarians, we were having a lot of trouble controlling our two year-old hound mixes, Cane and Finn. Patrick left us with the tools we need to truly communicate with both of them, despite their different personalities and backgrounds. We fully intend to keep up with these methods, as I'm fairly confident my stress level regarding these two was halved in less than 24 hours. If you are trying to decide if Bark Busters is right for you, make no mistake - you found the right place! Thank you again, Patrick. - Liz Vacendak, DVM

My wife and I are both veterinarians and we have two young and rambunctious dogs that don't always listen well. Patrick really was phenomenal. The way he showed us how to better communicate with out own dogs was amazing. We could see improvements after 30 minutes. From a veterinarian 💯/💯 I could not recommend Patrick more.

I called bark busters initially last year back in March. I was hesitant to go this route honestly because I wasn’t sure if this would work and it would be a lot of money being invested. I tried a few different things like several bark collars, locking him up behind a gate when he was misbehaving, exposure, taking him to “doggy day care” 8 hours a day for 6 days. Honestly all that was wasted money.After everything I tried didn’t work, I gave bark busters a try in July. I should have just called Bark Busters to begin with! Within the two hours that Patrick was at my house, there was an immediate change in my dog, Bentley’s behavior and barking. It is now October and I started having some similar but new issues with Bentley. I called Patrick and he was able to come to my house to help me within a few days of calling. I am now more confident in training Bentley and doing it correctly. I would definitely recommend bark busters to anyone having trouble with their dog(s) barking. Easy method and if you have any questions, Patrick comes back to your house to help you.Thanks Patrick!

Me and my girlfriend Corrinne have a mini Australian Shepard, Kobe, who we had no clue how to properly train. We have tried bringing him to other trainers before and had pretty much lost hope until an aggressive act came from Kobe and we knew we had to act immediately. We then got in contact with Bark Busters and had Patrick come to our home to teach us to speak dog. Within the 2 hours of our first appointment we saw significant results. On the leash Kobe no longer pulled, he was no longer barking at passer bys and was very respectful of us. We love what Bark Busters has done and we also love the LIFETIME guarantee of keeping Kobe on track to the best dog he can be. We would recommend this company to anyone who needs training big or small. They were very friendly and made the experience very comfortable. GO BARK BUSTERS!

100% worth it. Simple approach but works amazing! Older dog would tug on leash constantly now walks with slack leash and stays by heel and 12 week old puppy does not demand bark when in the pen. Great that they do not run to the door and bark when doorbell rings also. Didn’t think this much could be accomplished in such a short amount of time and training methods are easy enough to implement everyday. Thank you again!

Patrick and Bark Busters is great. Bark Busters takes a very interesting approach to training. Other courses with our previous dogs focused on rewarding actions with treats. Problem with our current rescue is he is not at all food motivated. That is why Patrick's approach of really understanding how a dog thinks works. While Calhoun our rescue is a very mellow dog he still needs to know where he fits in to the family dynamic as past dogs were at the top of the chain and ruled the roost. But the training is really focused on us as owners and how we react with our dog so that he knows who's boss, what is expected of him and that doing so results in a great environment and relationship for him and us. I recommend Patrick highly. Start your life off with your new pet right or if you need to get an existing dog back on the right track, Patrick can get you there.

Patrick is the best! Even though we have a very mellow dog, he is not treat or food motivated and we had no idea how to train him. Until we learned how to speak dog. Now we have great communication between all of us!

Patrick was wonderful to work with. And taught us so much in just three hours. We have 2 rescue dogs that needed some help in certain areas, especially with guests coming into the front door. it was amazing to see how they responded to what we were taught. I would highly recommend this company to anyone that needs help with their precious fur babies.

Our first meeting with Patrick was great! Our two large dobermans have a super high energy level and have been very difficult to handle on a leash. After our first training session, I was able to walk them both (one at a time) without them pulling at all. Bark Busters training techniques really do work. Our goal is to get them calmer and to be able to walk them both. I feel we can achieve this goal with Patrick's techniques. Amazing results in a real short time!!

I couldn't believe the attitude change of our dog. We are putting into practice what we were taught by Patrick, and it is working. Our dog has respect for her lead-line and thus has respect for the one leading her. She is improving each day. Less frustration and a much calmer dog and life with our dog.

came to the house showed me simple ways to be able to communicate with my dog. very helpful with videos to show on dogs behavior that makes it easier to understand
Initial visit was very informative and helpful. Very impressed with the manner Patrick Logue explained and presented his methodology and feel good about our decision to continue on with Bark Busters.

What a fantastic experience and great results in the first 30 minutes was unbelievable. I’m so happy with my decision to reach out to Patrick for help. Both myself and Lulu thank you for helping us live a better life with order and less anxious walks. Excited to put what I learned into my homework everyday and enjoy my time, space and life with my wonderful dog. Thanks again Patrick and Bark Busters

I am amazed at the difference in my dog after 2 hours and 40 minutes. There are not enough positive words to express my gratitude for the training I received from Patrick. He is easy to work with and ensures that you understand all that is going on in your dog's brain. I highly recommend Bark Busters.

I was very pleased with all the information Patrick gave us. He showed me how to be the leader and ease Bella’s confusion on who is the leader. I felt very at ease with Patrick from the start, his knowledge, explaining everything to us along the way and making sure we understood. The training started working for us right away!!! I could not be happier, thank you Patrick😊

Patrick came to my house and did an assessment of my dog. He made both of us feel extremely comfortable and I’m confident I’m his professionalism and ability to help me and my dog connect and work together rather than being frustrated with each other!

Daniela Kuhn
23:13 24 Feb 22
I am completely amazed at how in one session my dog Thor is a completely different dog. The practices Patrick provided to speak dog have given immediate results and my morkie no longer barks at other dogs, trucks or the door bell and doesn’t jump up anymore as people walk through the door. Patrick was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with me. I would recommend him to anyone to improve their relationship with their pet.

I hadn’t been able to get our puppy Boomie on a leash. It was like trying to rope a wild horse. I was afraid of being dragged and falling because he was so crazy. With Patricks techniques he was on a leash and walking down the block. I even took him for a walk by myself last night. That may not seem like a big deal but it’s HUGE. Both dogs are responding to me this morning with the techniques I learned. Incredibly happy with Patricks work.

I am so thankful for Patrick @Barkbusters!! He is amazing!! From the moment I called to my actual training session with Patrick was 5 stars!! So knowledgeable, honest, compassionate and incredible communication!! Patrick was wonderful to work with!! I learned so much the first session and so did my 3 golden doodles ROMEO, LEO and TEDDY!!! Results in one session is amazing!! Patrick taught me how to communicate with my boys!!! If you want the program and lessons to work you need to be committed and consistent! I am already seeing results and much happier!!! My life is back!! I cannot recommend BARKBUSTERSand PATRICK enough!! You will NOT be disappointed if you go with this program. It is not cheap but worth every penny!! Thank you Patrick and look forward to working with you more!!!!Danielle Lipani

What a fun day we had getting trained by Pat! Our incredibly shy and quirky border collie was even interested in learning from "Uncle Patrick!" It was unbelievable. Pat's method is very logical but something we had never thought of or observed before. We learned a lot of tools today that we are excited to implement into our daily routine! 10/10 would recommend! So glad we were able to get on Pat's schedule and have the opportunity to learn from him. Looking forward to continuing to work with him.

01:05 11 Feb 22
We had a fantastic first session with Patrick! Our puppy had no boundaries and was getting bigger faster than we could figure out how to train her! Who knew we just needed to speak dog?! Patrick did! I think we received more training than the pups and we were left feeling much more prepared to be the leaders of the pack and have well mannered pups. I definitely haven't mastered everything yet, but I know Patrick is just a phone call away!

I am speechless with the almost instant change in my dog. I had recently adopted her and was at the point of tears because I couldn't calm her down. She walks almost so much better on a leash and she has finally stopped chasing my cat. Patrick is a saint

We absolutely loved our training session with Patrick! We’d tried so many different training sessions/methods to try to get our dog to walk on a loose leash / control his energy and nobody compared to Patrick. Within an hour, Archie was a completely different dog. He wasn’t pulling or jumping on the leash, and he was extremely obedient.I will be recommending Patrick to anyone who asks moving forward. I can’t thank him enough for how helpful he was in such a short amount of time. Looking forward to continuing to work with him.
Kyle Warner
16:50 05 Feb 22
Patrick was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable on how to work with dogs without using treats or punishment. It was a complete game changer and you could see our dog, Archie, change within the hour! I thought it was a little expensive up front but worth every single penny! Wouldn’t go with any other trainer out there! Also very helpful you have direct contact with your trainer and it’s not just a one time training session.

We adopted a 9 month old Australian Cattle Dog from friends who were moving out of the country. We took the dog because the dog was destined for the dog pound. We have had the dog about a month and it has been a nightmare. All the dog did was jump on us, on the doors, misbehave; every night was bedlam. We hired Bark Busters and Patrick Logue, who came to our house yesterday. He spent about 2.5 hours with us and the dog. By the time he left, the dog was no longer jumping and was listening to us. We were absolutely amazed and highly recommend Bark Busters and Patrick ( who handles our geographic area). We still have to practice the techniques Patrick taught us every day, but it’s so much easier to work with a dog who pays attention to you. Thank you Patrick. Peace and quiet reigned in our house last night for the first time in a month.

Our 18 mo Cocker Spaniel, Molly, is NOT the same dog after the 3 hour training session with Patrick. She has always been a puller, barking lunging pup…Covid and some family health issues did not allow for the socialization she needed.Patrick’s approach and methods are amazing. He is the ultimate professional, highly organized and focused on success for Molly as well as us! We now truly speak dog.I just returned from my first true relaxed walk with Molly…we had bikes, people, lawn service machinery and traffic…never a bark, pull or lunge!! This is the best investment possible for a long and ideal relationship with our Molly. Thank you isn’t enough, Patrick!! So grateful to have found you & Bark Busters.Lynn & John Hunt

The appreciation that we have for Patrick is unmeasurable! In only two hours, our chaotic household became a sanctuary. To our surprise, having two young cattle dogs, is not as challenging as we thought. Patrick’s understanding and explanation of both human and dog behavior will forever change our lives. Having a harmonious life with our furry family members is all we all desire.. Now after our experience with Patrick, we finally feel know that this will be true.

Patrick was amazing! We saw immediate results. We have struggled with behavioral issues with Ollie for 2 years and were extremely frustrated and didn't know what else to do. Patrick was able to help us in just a 2 hour lesson get results that are just amazing! He worked with our other dog as well so that all the rules are the same for both dogs. It is already better than we could have hoped. Everyone who visits us can't believe they are the same dogs because they are so well behaved! We are very excited to continue to work with him and train Ollie and us!

We're one week into training and I already see improvement. Both dogs are high energy breeds and less than two years old.A couple months ago it began to feel like I was loosing control of my house to these pups, I've gained control back thanks to Patrick from Bark Busters.Thank you.

It was a great experience working with Patrick. He came in and within minutes he was able to calm down our two wild dogs. I was shocked at how quickly he was able to help us be able to interact with them. We are incredbly thankful. I would highly recommend.

13:42 18 Sep 21
Patrick arrived on time and prepared to work. We spent time together discussing his approach to dog training as well as how we impact and continue the training moving forward. He collected our thoughts and goals and set expectations against those goals. Patrick spent 2 hours with us and our puppy. By the time he left our puppy was already responding to us in the desired manner. Prior to our time with Patrick our puppy was an escape artist, entering and exiting every door as soon as it opened. Now 3 weeks later our puppy sits at an open door and waits for permission to pass through. We have been able to take the training techniques Patrick introduced to our family and make our puppy much safer on our walks. We have a puppy that now stops at street crossings and waits for permission to cross greatly reducing the possibility of a vehicle incident. If you have a new puppy or you want to teach your older dog new tricks you cannot go wrong with Patrick and Barkbusters!

We're so grateful to Patrick for coming to our home and helping us with Charlie, our great Pyrenees mix. Charlie was jumping on my daughter and I and nipping and we were afraid it would escalate to biting. Within an hour, Patrick taught our entire family how to effectively deal with this behavior. He's professional and has so much knowledge to share. There are many companies out there claiming to be the best, but Bark Busters is the real deal and their techniques work. Patrick is amazing and we would recommend him to anyone.

My boy Beau is a 4yr old 80+lb Pit Bull mix. As of late, Beau became aggressive towards people in passing especially those with their dogs. Beau became very hard to walk on leash and we had to extremely limit the time and place of his walks. My neighbors and their pups WERE terrified. I love Beau, I must say this did start to have an affect on our relationship. We needed help.Many of my friends recommended Bark Busters. I had to make the call. Patrick came to my house, and in less than an hour these issues were taken care of. It was magical. Beau and I learned so much together. Even typing this makes me emotional. I feel as if I have my dog back. He’s so much more playful and seems very happy, as do I. Patrick taught me how to be a better dog dad. Beau and I have never been better. My girlfriend is no longer afraid to walk him. My neighbors do not avoid us anymore. I will be forever thankful for the help in improving Beau’s quality of life allowing him more freedom in being himself. My only wish is that I would’ve made the call to help us learn much earlier. Thank you so much Patrick. This is the first google review I have ever taken the time to write. Worth it times ten.

Ian Jackson
02:32 17 Jun 21
There’s not enough good things I could say about Patrick and the miracle he has performed on our dog. I called Patrick on Monday (6/14 at 2:30pm) to schedule some follow-up training after our dog had an aggressive incident with a neighborhood dog. By Tuesday (6/15 at 4:30pm), Patrick came to our home was able to fix the behavioral issues our dog was having and help us reinforce proper training techniques. 6/5 stars and would HIGHLY recommend!
Mia Estrada
00:14 12 Jun 21
Patrick is awesome! He puts everything into a perspective that you can understand. The training was not at all what I was expecting, but I have zero complaints. I have a very sweet, but reactive pitty. Her leash training was 75% better after the first 2 hours. I called to let him know what she needed more help on, and he was right back to help. His training teaches you how to calm your dog in any situation! It is not just a bandaid on a problem. I completely recommend.
Dawn Hall
16:53 05 Jun 21
Our first visit was awesome! Patrick took detailed time to explain the techniques to us and was very patient, with us as well as Fur kid Buster. We have already started seeing a difference in Buster’s anxiety level- and he calms down much faster when we use “dog speak”!

I have a 6 month old labradoodle named Bo. Patrick came to my home yesterday. I thought the training might be like all the other training I’ve had in past, but it was completely different. It was amazing. The training techniques were explained and demonstrated concisely and understandable. We worked on things in which l had concern, but in a different way than I had imagined. Particularly, walking Bo on the leash... in matter of minutes he was walking without pulling me down the street. It was great! I practiced the next day it was an enjoyable walk ... with some corrections, but overall very good. I think Bo is a good dog, but implementing the Bark Busters dog training techniques will make him a great dog!
Sue Edwards

We are absolutely amazed at how quickly both of our dogs responded to Patrick and the Bark Busters method. Neither dog did well with other trainers; however, what they achieved today was miraculous! Amazing training!
Rob Carter
15:11 14 May 21
My wife and I are literally amazed. Yesterday a truckload of roofers arrived unannounced to put new tiles down. Noisy! Candie (our dog) barked like she’s always done. I corrected her using the technique we learned, and that was IT! Later I invited someone in, something that had become stressful due to Candie’s aggression. Again, a few corrections and she settled down, went to her donut (her decision) and fell asleep. We are practicing and studying the instruction book, and excited about a new start with our “new” dog.If you’re dog’s behavior is not what you wish it would be, I strongly, unequivocally recommend Bark Busters.

Patrick with Bark Busters has been amazing! We have a reactive and anxious American Bulldog and the training with Bark Busters has made a huge difference in his behavior. We tried 2 other training programs without any success.Bark Busters focuses on the dogs mental state so that the dog can be calm. I couldn’t believe how simple and easy the training has been. Our dogs are making great strides each day.Patrick is quick to reply to emails and gives us feedback on how we are doing. I wish we would have gone to Bark Busters from the beginning!

We had been with another trainer for nearly a year with almost zero progress. Patrick came out and we saw a huge difference from the get go and we learned how to communicate in a way that our dog (a Belgian Malinois) would understand. Our vet had made it sound like she was going to need to be medicated with sedatives her whole life. After one session with Patrick she is being responsive, listening, and walking on the leash like an angel. I am so impressed with Patrick. Very professional and knows what he's doing. Worth every penny.

If you are having issues with your dog or dogs Patrick with Bark Busters is excellent. He is very professional and assures you if you do the work your dog training will be a success. He is reliable, accessible and patient. After the first session I knew I chose the right trainer.

We have had multiple home visits from dog trainers trying to get a feel for their style and have never committed to one for countless different reasons. All the trainers coming over with their pitches had left me jaded so I was still skeptical when Patrick with Bark Busters came over. He sat us down for a quick run through of their methods which already felt like a breathe of fresh air. Having the methods explained thoroughly to me was already better than the "Do this because I am the expert you don't need to know why you are doing it if it works" method. It seemed to good to be true no treats, no shock collars, no expense boarding, no off-site training, and no pinch collars. We saw instant results, both of us and our two large dogs were shocked. Walks used to be a chaotic stressful affair but after the first session with Patrick I walked both of them the next morning and it was the calmest walk I have ever experienced with them. I'm looking forward to future sessions and highly recommend them if you couldn't tell.

I can’t thank Patrick enough for the time he took today with me and my Boston “terror”, Levi. I never thought I’d see the day where he would sit by comfortably and calmly when a new person was in the house. I didn’t think I’d see him walking at my side instead of pulling when we take walks either. This was achieved within 2 hours! I was able to “claim my space” in the kitchen and I just made Levi his dinner while he waited outside the room instead of underfoot. So amazed. I know I need to keep up on this and continue to practice these skills but I’m so grateful!

Patrick did an amazing job explaining how to change my dog’s unwanted behaviors by speaking his language. It only took 75 minutes and we can now practice on our own. We haven’t been able to get around people or other dogs...ever. We now look forward to walks with our dog. Can’t recommend Bark Busters enough.

We reached out to Bark Busters when our four year old mini dachshund was not adapting well to living with our cat, along with a few other issues like excessive barking on walks and at guests. Patrick was incredibly professional, through, and is always very responsive. Some cases can't have miraculous overnight transformations, but ever since we started training with Bark Busters, we've seen steady progress. And now I can say that our two pets (cat and dog) can often be in the same room without any issues - and I wasn't sure that was possible when we started! We still have a ways to go, but now I know we can get there.Even if you feel like you have a difficult case, the Bark Busters system of steady reinforcement over time really makes a difference.*Update with photo*Another half a year (or so) later and they’re doing great! This still isn’t a common occurrence but I found them sharing the sunny spot on a chair the other day.

IF YOURE LOOKING FOR THE BEST DOG TRAINER EVER LOOK NO FURTHER- We just finished our second lesson with Patrick from BarkBusters and the transformation has been nothing less than amazing! We have a 1 year old golden retriever named Mamba and have tried a different training service with no success. They wanted to have us board and train him when his issues were with us. He would jump, pull on the leash, become territorial, has bitten me before and just seemed anxious all the time. After Patrick came to our home one time, it was a night and day difference. He educated us on how to communicate effectively with Mamba using his language and has been helpful even when he isn’t around. He responds quickly to all calls and emails and has really stayed in contact with us to check on our progress. After only a couple lessons, we now have a calm, happy dog who is really enjoying his life, and the comfort of knowing we can call Patrick whenever we need help really makes a difference. Patrick has truly changed our lives and is the best dog trainer ever!!!

We first worked with Patrick 2 years ago when we got 2 puppies. He helped us lay a solid foundation. Fast forward 2 years, after a move and the addition of a third dog, we were living with an unruly mob. Since we had the “lifetime support” plan I contacted Patrick and he came out to help get us back on track. The refresher was super helpful and almost overnight, the unruly mob of 3- 100 pound dogs transformed into well behaved members of the family. It DOES take continued work and training but I’m super happy to have Patrick to turn to when we have a specific issue or need a general refresher.

17:02 03 Feb 21
I highly recommend Patrick with Bark Busters above all the other trainers out there!! (and my black lab Nugget and I have worked with a TON of them!)I was amazed by how calm, patient, understanding & effective his methods were. In a word - SIMPLE.After my first hour lesson with Patrick I had more CONFIDENCE (and hope that things could change) than I ever dared dream!Every time Patrick shows us a new training exercise, he explains why it works, watches us try it out, and provides pointers. He then sends us home with a “homework handout” to help remember what to do and why. . . It literally couldn’t be any easier.But let’s be real - the only thing that matters are RESULTS and that’s exactly what we’ve been getting!I’m so relieved we finally found a great dog trainer... I only wish we had found Patrick and Bark Busters sooner!!

After our initial session in September things were going great with our dog Birch, in December Birch decided he would bark relentlessly when going for car rides, we called and scheduled a follow up visit for this issue. We just had our follow up visit completed this week and I am happy to say Birch is once again riding in the car quietly. The training/coaching methods utilized truly WORK as long as we remain consistent using them. Bark Busters has been a godsend and has given us a great relationship with our furry best friend. I would highly recommend Bark Buster's services.
Christopher Tann

We have a Border Collie puppy and she's a little monster. Patrick's presentation, set up and attention to detail was A+. Once he educated and set standards with us Patrick went to work with Pumpkin. It took Patrick about two minutes to have Pumpkin obeying his commands. Well before the lesson was over Pumpkin was a completely different puppy. She was calm, listened well and was rewarded for being in the green zone. Patrick is a prime example of why you hire a professional to help you with something you're not an expert in. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Bark busters has been so helpful since I picked up the phone to ask some simple questions. Then when our trainer patrick came into the picture it was a game changer. In one lesson me and my dogs relationship has changed so much. He was so hyper and hard to.manage and now is alot calmer and listens when I say a command. Patrick is an amazing trainer cna can't wait to see how much more my dog Oso grows.

First meeting with Patrick was very informative and comprehensive. Had beginnings of success right away. We were really pleased to see what could be accomplished with knowledge and a lot of determination, & patience!Patience is the hardest to accomplishment with these pups we have as they are shelter dogs, and both are 11 months, so not puppies anymore. But we could see things start to work right away. We decided to go with Patrick and we feel like we've made a great choice with a trainer.

We are entirely invigorated and confident after Patrick’s on-the-mark training. He was funny, a good communicator, knowledgeable and patient.

After rescuing our dog during quarantine, going back to work quickly became a nightmare. Our dog Bruce slowly escalated from going thru trash and ripping apart pillows to destroying the bedroom door and ripping up carpet.We followed all the general guidelines of helping a dog with separation anxiety that you can find on google and had him on strong medications from our vet. He still only got worse.After just one session with Patrick, I spent the next several weeks practicing the exercises he taught me to help Bruce with his separation anxiety every single day. After 3 weeks of this, we were successfully able to leave Bruce alone the entire time we were at work (8 hours)! He was calm the entire time and nothing was destroyed!Going from not being able to even go grocery shopping or to the gas station without constantly checking the cameras to see what Bruce was getting in to, to now being able to leave for work without having to worry about the amount of money all the damage will cost, is truly priceless.I will definitely be calling Patrick if any other behaviors arise in Bruce, with confidence in knowing I am making the right choice for my dog and myself. Thank you Patrick!

I reached out to Bark Busters in need of help for my pup. My main concern was her separation anxiety, I couldn’t even go to the bathroom without her standing at the door and barking/whining. I had done so much research on YouTube and google to find ways to help with this, all without any success. I had one session with Patrick in my home, and she improved so much in that one session. Not only did he give me tips on helping with her separation anxiety, he helped me train her to walk on the leash better and to stay calm when another dog/person is near. It’s been a few weeks since my session and my pup has made so much progress. She is now comfortable on her own for up to 45 minutes to an hour and walks so well on her leash. She is calm and happy, and also becoming more comfortable being by herself. We still have some room for improvement, but we work on it everyday. Even my neighbors have noticed her behavior improving. They teach you ways to communicate with your dog in ways that your dog will actually understand. When they showed me these tips, I was like WOW it all makes so much more sense! No wonder what I was doing was not working! They also check in with you from time to time to see how everything is going, and extra help is always available if needed. I have been recommending bark busters to everyone with a dog, puppy or not! If you have any kind of issue with your dog and their behavior, or just want tips on basic training, they have everything you need and more :)

I chose to go with bark busters because of all the amazing reviews and I’m here to add another one since bark busters is no joke! I have a 6 month old puppy who has almost every issue in the book and after just one session there was significant improvement! She started to behave and do things I never thought we would accomplish. I’m blown away with how quickly the methods are working. Very happy with my decision on choosing bark busters! Patrick is our trainer and he is amazing!

Patrick was very professional and worked with me and Oliver in a respectful and considerate way. Oliver is already responding to his suggestions and I am confident together we will rid him of his bad habits. I would highly recommend Patrick to help you train your dog, who as we know is our loving companion.

Amazing dog training. I really thought my dog bear could never be fixed but after just one session he’s already better behaved. Obviously it’s going to take time but Patrick completely prepares you by teaching you how to “speak dog” and gave us some home work to help both us and our dog understand eachother better.Overall if you’re on the fence definitely go for it. You will not be disappointed.

From the moment Patrick arrived, it was clearly obvious just how passionate he is about his profession. My husband and I embarked on the magical journey of dog ownership with thoughts of a blissful happy ever after. Reality hit us head on and we found ourselves in a situation that we simply could not navigate alone. God bless Patrick for his devotion to helping people like me and our over confident Sunny become the family we envisioned. Put your trust in Patrick and learn to speak dog! You will not regret the investment.

We used Bark Buster's a few months ago for our anxious & reactive dog but long-term was not the outcome we had hoped for. Patrick is great & personable but not the trainer for ALL dogs, especially with behavioral issues. This type of training is a lot more geared towards obedience than reactive type/changing a dogs mindset. After a while, your dog will not care if water is being sprayed when they're loading/reacting towards another dog/human. Recommend this type of training for easier dogs.

I cannot say enough positive remarks about Bark Busters! Patrick had both of my crazy pups walking nicely on a leash half way through the first lesson and I have never seen them this calm and attentive before. Highly recommend.

The Life of Dog training through Bark Busters is truly amazing. Patrick is a consummate professional--so happy we could invite him back over to address a few lingering problematic behaviors. I highly recommend Bark Busters--worth every penny.

Bark Busters was the 4th dog trainer we retained to help us with our 60 lb. Lab Mix. I know the trainer teaches humans how to train their dogs. Bark Busters provided us with the simplest way to finally achieve success so that our pet will be well-mannered when guests arrive and also to walk calmly on leash. Positive results were immediate, and I know that repetition and consistency will assure that our lives will be stress-free and more enjoyable by having an obedient and happy pet indoors as well as outdoors.

It was a pleasure meeting Patrick at my home today. He was extremely knowledgeable and presented his information in a very clear and understandable manner. In just one session I feel confident that Blondie and I will have a much better and less stressful relationship while enjoying our walks. I look forward to putting the information I was given today to work.

I was skeptical to see any immediate results from Patrick, only because Ive trained and worked with dog trainers a lot in the past. I was pleasantly surprised that after just a few exercises with my dog, she was immediately responding. It still take a lot of work, and continuous practice but I can see small improvements with our new rescue already. Will definitely be calling Patrick back for continued training and in order to stay on track!

If you've been contemplating a trainer for as long as I have .... just make the decision and get one!! Patrick spent 2 hours with my high energy toy goldendoodle and I immediately saw a difference in her behavior during training! He sat down with us to give present all the information we needed to understand how to communicate effectively with dogs. Once we verbally went over what was needed to do we did numerous exercises. Literally within minutes of each exercise my dog acted completely different and in a positive way! Since he left, we have been utilizing the tooling he gave us. There is no more excessive barking, bothering to play when it isn't play time, jumping up on me, and walking on leash is fantastic! Every day gets better and I can already tell my dog listens to me and respects me more! Thank you Patrick!

Wow, what a great experience. I am sure glad that I decided to contact Bark Busters. The training is so easy to follow and makes so much sense. Once you learn these simple no nonsense methods, it will make perfect sense why nothing else worked before. We saw improvement almost immediately and will continue with the homework to keep our girl on the right path. Patrick is awesome.
Nancy Swanson
22:23 15 Sep 20
Wow! Patrick is retraining me most efficiently. First session has a lot of info but I was able to put the basics into practice right away. The dogs respond beautifully! Since they got a D on the initial survey, I'd say we're at a C+ already. Looking forward to continued progress.

Patrick came into our home today and our puppy was jumping, mouthing/chewing on his fingers, and climbing all over Patrick, during our human training. When our human training was completed we all got to work.Using our body language and dog speak we were able to change bad behavior especially when Cody charges the door barking.Our outside training on his new leash was extra helpful and we saw a great improvement in how he walked with us.We are looking forward to many more changes in Cody as we continue on this journey with Patrick to help us enjoy our new family addition.

Patrick introduced us to speaking dog to our furbaby! It works!!!!! Ghost didn't know what happened. He went from an obnoxious barking dog to actually accepting Patrick with manners. We have work to do in order to continue this wonderful behavior but every minute we spend with Ghost will only make a beautiful companion. Thank you Patrick!

We are new dog owners. Never having a dog we were not sure what to do to make sure our puppy would be a responsive well behaved puppy. Patrick took time to go over everything in detail and answer all of our questions. The method is simple and worked immediately with Lily. We have the tools and backup needed to continue our training with Lily.

Patrick was outstanding in transforming our little devil of a dog into the little angel we knew she could be. Patrick was able to make bigger improvements in our dog's behavior in two hours than two complete training sessions with a big name pet store. All of our friends and family who have seen her since her training have noticed the massive improvement in her behavior. I would highly recommend Patrick and Bark Busters to anyone looking to train their dog.

Patrick has made such a difference in our lives. I now know how to speak to my dog in a language he understands and we are the better for it! I can't say enough good and wonderful things about the training. Don't think about calling, just do it. It's so very worth it!

Patrick just left my home about an hour ago and I have new dogs! Both miniature schnauzers are more responsive and more chill. I know there are more hurdles to handle but the techniques taught to me today should make those hurdles very doable. I thought I knew how to train a pup but with these schnauzers I met my match. In less than 2 hours with Patrick, I learned new techniques that had quick results as well as, what I hope to be, long-lasting results. I can already see the difference. Just made my lunch and no pups under feet in kitchen. Nice!Thank you Patrick for the patience, professionalism and progress!

Having a new puppy is hard work and you often feel like you are losing the battle. This is how I felt when I called Patrick. He showed me how to speak to my dog so that I could enjoy a calm, obedient boy. I’m so glad I called and had this opportunity to work with Patrick. It has literally changed how I interact with my dog on a daily basis. If you are struggling with your dog do not wait another minute to call Patrick. He’s so knowledgeable and works with you every step of the way!

I loved Bark Busters’ gentle training methods. They were way more simple than “traditional” methods and Patrick was very helpful in helping us communicate with our mini Aussie in a way that he would understand us better. I’ll readily recommend Patrick to anyone who has trouble with their pup.

Great service and training! After the first training with both my frenchtons, I saw a huge difference from the time we started to the ending.

I’m so thankful I went forward and soo looking forward to our next meeting!Thank you so very much ... I feel 200 percent betterKim Dean2nd visit with Patrick and his training techniques.Class was awesome ... it really works!! We hoomensJust have to stay committed to the process as he said....

I have two very hyper dogs that somewhat listened to my commands. I thought we’d have to have multiple sessions just to get them to settle down. Boy was I was wrong. It only took Patrick two minutes to get them to listen. I was dumbfounded when I saw this. We are utilizing the same techniques daily, and it’s still working. I would definitely recommend Patrick with Bark Busters Home Dog Training as your home dog trainer.

First, this is not a Home Dog Training... it is a Home People training. I say that because, I learned more than my dog did. Within the first couple of hours I felt so much relief that I would be able to deliver a good start for my german shepherd puppy. Patrick was amazing!! I may never be able to bark as well, but I know my puppy will be equipped with the best training in the industry and I will sleep better tonight knowing I will be a better pet owner. Do I recommend Patrick and Bark Busters... you bet!!!

We just had Patrick at our home for our puppy's first training session and we are amazed at the results already. Kona's leash manners have improved greatly, she's no longer stopping to eat everything in sight, and we can leave our bedroom door open without her going in. Patrick is very kind, friendly, explains everything in a simple way, and answers any questions. We are so glad we hired Patrick to turn our pup into the well-behaved dog we have dreamed of having.

Patrick taught us how to speak dog and it has made a huge difference in such a short amount of time. It has made working with our dog Boomer more fun and rewarding. The best part is that Boomer and my husband and I are all more calm and happy. We are so excited for what we will learn as we progress on this journey and even more excited to share our lives with our well - balanced pup who knows we are in charge, so he doesn't have to be! Thank you, Patrick and Bark Busters!

Patrick has come to my house twice and, in that time, my dogs went from uncontrollable to well-behaved. One dog was a crazy barker and also a very strong leash puller, so we hardly ever walked him. Now he’s reduced his barking by at least 90%, and he is completely docile and obedient on walks. After only two leash lessons, the change has been amazing.Our other dog is a rescue who prompted the call to Patrick because she was snapping at my teenager. She, the dog, still isn’t crazy about the teenager, but she now knows who’s the the house and that it’s not her. If I had known earlier how things would change, I would have called Patrick sooner.

My family just finished our first training session with Patrick for our 10 month old pit bull Cecil. I was astonished at what was accomplished within a couple of hours and how our dog reacted to the session and the results from my family and I beginning to "speak dog". He just gets it now. Cecil is now a well polished dog on our walks and virtually everyone that we encounter out in public stops and comments about how well behaved he is on the leash. He really is a good walker now in stark contrast to how he was previously. I really did not like walking with him as he was constantly pulling (He's a very strong puppy!), jumping on people and sniffing everything wildly. It was chaos. Now, Cecil AND his owners are in the green zone and it is SO much more pleasant!

We have a six to seven month old rescue that we acquired when he was roughly six weeks old. He was brought to our attention of be malnourished and abused. I then went and got him and myself and my girlfriend began nurturing him back to health. From day one he has been very scared and afraid to warm up to anyone especially a male. We started trying to hook a leash up to him and try to walk him which in turn triggered something very traumatic. We could not figure out what was causing this trigger. We tried and tried till we had no hope. I did some google research and found Bark Busters online and saw countless number of five start ratings on the trainer Patrick’s techniques. We decided to make the call and received all the information and made an appointment for Patrick to come to our home. When I say it was the perfect fit is an understatement. Patrick showed up at our home today and we sat and went over everything we have observed. His way of being was unbelievable. When our dog Sam Cookie showed his fear, Patrick gave the most inspiring hope we have ever seen. To watch and learn how to ease our dogs mind with no verbal or physical handling was unreal. Sam Cookie showed he was still scared but didn’t excuse the fact that he needed this. The overall experience for the first visit was undeniably amazing and much of a relief. Thank you Patrick from the bottom of our hearts for stepping in when no one else would and recognizing what needed to be done. We are forever grateful and will be calling again for your assistance.

This year I knew what I wanted....a quiet home. With 3 dogs, all different breeds, I could only use one word to describe them....NIGHTMARE. Well if you want the best, you go to the best. This is when I found Patrick. We only began our training last week, but WOW! After our first training, I felt empowered. I was finally in charge of my pack instead of feeling like an overworked, underpaid, daycare worker. Patrick took charge of this unruly crew the minute he entered the room. With Patrick's tools and guidance, I am looking forward to happy furchildren and a peaceful and quiet home. After two lessons, it has been one of the best decisions I have made. Looking forward to continuing our training with Patrick:) Thank you Patrick!

We recently adopted a rescue pup (at 10 weeks) Siberian Husky/Dutch Shepard mix called Luna ~ I owned a German Shepard once but never went thru the “puppy phase” soon my daughter and I realized we were in a bit over our heads so I contacted BarkBusters Fort Myers and scheduled training with Patrick Logue... from the start the communication was top notch via phone email and text, we were able to do some research with Patrick’s YouTube videos prior to our first training day, we did not want to train her using painful collars, shock etc. and we realized Patrick’s philosophy was perfect for us.Our first session was SO informative and easy to comprehend, Patrick was patient with me and my daughter Isabella and shared info verbally, on paper and in followup emails.We both quickly saw Luna in a whole new light using the first practice methods he shared.He also made it clear the work is hard and needs to happen daily if we want Luna to be the family dog we hope she will be... consistency, patience, practice and asking for help when we get frustrated is working for us.We are now working with her daily and feel more confident and thrilled as we move forward with training at her 4-5 month stage.Patrick is available to us when ever we reach out via email or phone and he always shares exactly what we need; Isabella and I know that we found the true dog training expert in our area and want everyone to know no matter what there is always hope and solutions for you and your pup! Call BarkBusters Fort Myers ~ they are and will forever be our new best friends in the dog training world!

Patrick has helped us with our 5 month old mixed breed dog, Norman. With 3 young kids and a puppy our life was pretty crazy. He quickly came into the home and provided us the tools needed to keep Norman calm and how to handle him when he gets hyper. After the initial training, we did our best but when in the real world we forgot some of the techniques. He came back few weeks later and helped us build our confidence. It has been little over month since our first meeting and we have seen amazing results. He was also helpful with helping us learn with how the kids should properly interact with Norman. There have been some natural setbacks but we quickly go back the materials he provided us and try again. I would hands down recommend Patrick and Bark Busters Fort Myers.

Patrick was amazing! We have a new dog! Our Indie is super timid and very protective. Patrick showed us how to “speak dog” and establish boundaries. Setting up an appointment is well worth the wait! She no longer pulls us along on walks and respects our space. There are no gimmicks to this training, just following through on the program and working on communication with our dog. Before calling Bark Busters we tried Petco training... a total waste of time, online videos that were useless and as a last resort had even thought about e-collar training (which I’m glad to say we’ve never done and will never need!)Thank you for everything Patrick!!

Patrick helped change our lives for the better. I feel more comfortable and more confident when walking our adoptive pittie. He showed me the correct tools to communicate with her the transformation is shocking. I highly recommend Patrick and his team don’t hesitate any longer bring the peace you and your fur baby both deserve.

To say Patrick is amazing is truly an understatement! His methods are more simple than any training method I've ever used, and his results are much faster. I have worked in veterinary medicine for the past 20 years so dogs with aggression are nothing new to me. I've adopted aggressive dogs in the past and have always been successful in transforming their behavior over time....until now. We adopted a dog with fear aggression and trust issues about 7 months ago and recently decided he needed more help than I could give him, so we called Patrick. Our dog is aggressive toward strangers and wouldn't let anyone into our house unless we locked him up or restrained him with a harness and leash, and bribed him with lots of treats. Because of this, Patrick initially met us without our dog present. He taught to us how to speak dog and assured us that when he entered our home we would be able to control our dog's reaction to him with no physical restraint or bribery. Everything he explained made sense, but knowing what a lunatic our dog became around strangers made me have doubts. Patrick gave us about 10 minutes to do some very simple exercises with our dog on our own while he waited outside. Then he rang the doorbell AND knocked on the front door. Our dog started his usual craziness but when we talked to him in dog language HE LISTENED TO US!!! Patrick walked into our home and we were able to keep our dog calm and under control with no leash or treats! I never would have believed such a drastic change could happen in such a short period of time! Seeing such instant results makes us excited to practice "talking dog" and to see what other behavioral breakthroughs we can achieve! Thank you Patrick Logue and Bark Busters!**UPDATE:During our session last August Patrick taught me how to properly communicate with my dog, and the results of this have been nothing short of incredible! My dog was a complete lunatic before we met Patrick, but since that day he has been understanding and listening to me (because I speak dog now) ALMOST all of the time. He has been a perfect boy EXCEPT when we would pass another dog, bicycle or person running while we were on walks. I saw a huge transformation in every other aspect of my dog's behavior but was struggling so much with this that I questioned whether my dog was even capable of remaining calm in these situations...Today Patrick came back for a second session and within TWO MINUTES (I swear no exaggeration!) he had my dog walking as though he has always been a perfect angel and I was just making up stories about him lunging and barking and seeming possessed! I must have been slurring my words in doggie language because as soon as Patrick corrected me, I was able to walk my dog calmly past kids running, a man on a bicycle and other people walking their dogs. I even recruited some neighbors to try to trigger my dog's inner maniac so that Patrick could see what I had been dealing with, but they couldn't! As long as I did what Patrick said, my dog wasn't phased by a thing! I clearly need to practice and become more fluent in speaking dog, but it was so reassuring to see that my dog CAN be unreactive in these situations as long as I "speak" clearly! I'm so excited to continue working on this, and hope we encounter some more bicycles on our walk tomorrow!Patrick's ability is one of those few things in life that seem too good to be true....but REALLY IS that good!Thank you Patrick!!!

We had a great experience with Patrick. It's a very interesting approach and effective almost immediately. Lyric, Barkley and Presley were in aww of our new "voice". We are all still learning but feel it's an effective tool in stopping some of the dogs bad behavior and building the trust needed to live in the green zone. 😊

Timely, professional, friendly and educational.... that's how I describe Patrick's initial visit to assist with our doxie's issues. Results were obvious almost immediately... the most important lesson I learned is to "train" all the time. It may not seem important to have your dog out of the kitchen but the training does matter....

Our dog, Tazer, would pull hard everytime we would take him out, whether its leaving the house or getting out of the car. Within 3 minutes, Patrick had him walking on the leash as the most perfectly behaved gentleman around! I cannot thank Bark Busters (and Patrick) enough, I can now look forward to our daily walks and visits to the park without being yanked. Thank you Patrick for improving the relationship between Tazer and myself!Connie Greenan

Patrick is phenomenal! In less than two hours he changed our hyperactive Lab puppy from a demanding, commanding dog into one that is much more well behaved and under control. Absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs help with any dog.

We were completely shocked at how well our new puppies were responsive to our first session! We are very excited to be able to better communicate with them on their level and to gain that level of respect and trust with them. Excited for what’s to come! Professional and extremely helpful. More than I could have imagined! Thank you!!!

Bark Busters came to our house today! WOW! What a turn around for us and our dog! The system is VERY easy. We LOVE the simplicity of the training since we are new dog owners and our Pom owned us. Our dog knows we love him and now we also have boundaries! Call or email Patrick today and let him show you the training. He will come back as often as needed and help you develop positive behaviors in your dog so you can live life without crazy dog behaviors. Learn dog language today! Call Patrick.

Fantastic experience so far. One day of training from Patrick, and lots of consistent follow up from us, and we’re already seeing a huge difference in our dogs. Can’t wait to learn more!

I cannot talk highly enough of Patrick and Bark Busters.Prior to training with Patrick our rescued 1.5 year old hound mix was unmanageable. He had dominance aggression, would growl when touched and sometimes even looked at, guard the furniture, bark and jump on anyone coming in the house, and constantly pull while on leash. For a period of time I was genuinely afraid he was going to bite me or a visitor in our home. He ran the house, we didn’t.Patrick (the 2nd trainer we’ve been to) taught us how to become experts in communicating with our dog and set boundaries to regain control of the house. This drastically changed our relationship with our dog for the better. The dominance aggression has subsided, he’s significantly less reactive when visitors come into the home, and walks are now enjoyable. We stopped feeling sorry for correcting our dog and learned its okay to say no. More importantly we’ve learned how to say no in a way dogs understand.Not only are Patrick’s training techniques and style incredible, he’s also super responsive. It’s reassuring to know we can call with questions or set up follow up session at any time.Thank you Patrick for helping us reach the relationship we’ve always wanted with our dog!

Training went well and dogs responded immediately to the training. Went on a walk with dogs calm/relaxed. Great job and would recommend Bark Busters/Patrick to anyone! Thank you!

We've only had our first initial visit with Patrick @ Bark Busters, for our 3.5 month old Pitbull and obviously shes still in puppy mode but we've gotten her to stay focused on us (WITHOUT using treats, screaming, yelling, or having to grab her) by using SIMPLE commands and terms. We are extremely satisfied with Patrick and the techniques he introduced to make US better dog owners. We are confident in Patrick's process and cant wait to see what kind of dog she turns out to be because of the training we are undergoing as owners.Thank you Patrick! So happy to be apart of Bark Busters Family!

Cannot recommend highly enough. Patrick brought immediate results in a comfortable environment, building not only my dog communication skills, but my confidence as a dog mom.

I can't say enough great things about Patrick and Bark Busters. While we are both "animal experts" as veterinarians, we were having a lot of trouble controlling our two year-old hound mixes, Cane and Finn. Patrick left us with the tools we need to truly communicate with both of them, despite their different personalities and backgrounds. We fully intend to keep up with these methods, as I'm fairly confident my stress level regarding these two was halved in less than 24 hours. If you are trying to decide if Bark Busters is right for you, make no mistake - you found the right place! Thank you again, Patrick. - Liz Vacendak, DVM

My wife and I are both veterinarians and we have two young and rambunctious dogs that don't always listen well. Patrick really was phenomenal. The way he showed us how to better communicate with out own dogs was amazing. We could see improvements after 30 minutes. From a veterinarian 💯/💯 I could not recommend Patrick more.

I started barkbusters yesterday for my doodle puppy. Patrick explained the program very well, and I am already seeing results!

I called bark busters initially last year back in March. I was hesitant to go this route honestly because I wasn’t sure if this would work and it would be a lot of money being invested. I tried a few different things like several bark collars, locking him up behind a gate when he was misbehaving, exposure, taking him to “doggy day care” 8 hours a day for 6 days. Honestly all that was wasted money.After everything I tried didn’t work, I gave bark busters a try in July. I should have just called Bark Busters to begin with! Within the two hours that Patrick was at my house, there was an immediate change in my dog, Bentley’s behavior and barking. It is now October and I started having some similar but new issues with Bentley. I called Patrick and he was able to come to my house to help me within a few days of calling. I am now more confident in training Bentley and doing it correctly. I would definitely recommend bark busters to anyone having trouble with their dog(s) barking. Easy method and if you have any questions, Patrick comes back to your house to help you.Thanks Patrick!

Me and my girlfriend Corrinne have a mini Australian Shepard, Kobe, who we had no clue how to properly train. We have tried bringing him to other trainers before and had pretty much lost hope until an aggressive act came from Kobe and we knew we had to act immediately. We then got in contact with Bark Busters and had Patrick come to our home to teach us to speak dog. Within the 2 hours of our first appointment we saw significant results. On the leash Kobe no longer pulled, he was no longer barking at passer bys and was very respectful of us. We love what Bark Busters has done and we also love the LIFETIME guarantee of keeping Kobe on track to the best dog he can be. We would recommend this company to anyone who needs training big or small. They were very friendly and made the experience very comfortable. GO BARK BUSTERS!

100% worth it. Simple approach but works amazing! Older dog would tug on leash constantly now walks with slack leash and stays by heel and 12 week old puppy does not demand bark when in the pen. Great that they do not run to the door and bark when doorbell rings also. Didn’t think this much could be accomplished in such a short amount of time and training methods are easy enough to implement everyday. Thank you again!

Patrick and Bark Busters is great. Bark Busters takes a very interesting approach to training. Other courses with our previous dogs focused on rewarding actions with treats. Problem with our current rescue is he is not at all food motivated. That is why Patrick's approach of really understanding how a dog thinks works. While Calhoun our rescue is a very mellow dog he still needs to know where he fits in to the family dynamic as past dogs were at the top of the chain and ruled the roost. But the training is really focused on us as owners and how we react with our dog so that he knows who's boss, what is expected of him and that doing so results in a great environment and relationship for him and us. I recommend Patrick highly. Start your life off with your new pet right or if you need to get an existing dog back on the right track, Patrick can get you there.

Patrick is the best! Even though we have a very mellow dog, he is not treat or food motivated and we had no idea how to train him. Until we learned how to speak dog. Now we have great communication between all of us!

Patrick was wonderful to work with. And taught us so much in just three hours. We have 2 rescue dogs that needed some help in certain areas, especially with guests coming into the front door. it was amazing to see how they responded to what we were taught. I would highly recommend this company to anyone that needs help with their precious fur babies.

Our first meeting with Patrick was great! Our two large dobermans have a super high energy level and have been very difficult to handle on a leash. After our first training session, I was able to walk them both (one at a time) without them pulling at all. Bark Busters training techniques really do work. Our goal is to get them calmer and to be able to walk them both. I feel we can achieve this goal with Patrick's techniques. Amazing results in a real short time!!

I couldn't believe the attitude change of our dog. We are putting into practice what we were taught by Patrick, and it is working. Our dog has respect for her lead-line and thus has respect for the one leading her. She is improving each day. Less frustration and a much calmer dog and life with our dog.
