I have a dachshund that barks at everything and is extremely stubborn. Halfway through his first session with Patrick, his barking was "solved". I was actually worried that my stubborn, anxious pup was upset that he was being corrected but I later realized that he is just CALM and im not used to seeing that. 100% recommend. If you keep an open mind, and commit to changing the way you act with your pup, the results are literally instant. I cant wait for my next visit. Thank you, Patrick!
It only took day 1 to see a difference in our dogs. Patrick is the real deal. If you have been feeling lost or resentful towards your dogs like I have I strongly suggest Patrick with Bark Busters!
I can't recommend Patrick highly enough. Within just one session, our 1-year-old Goldendoodle, Misha, has made incredible strides. There's no more pulling on the leash, he is more understanding of personal space, barking has significantly reduced, and overall obedience has greatly improved. Patrick is truly great at what he does and has made a noticeable difference in our lives.
I recently used Bark Buster’s trainer Patrick Logue here in Fort Myers. We have a Labrador named Max who is a sweet dog but has to say hello to everyone he meets and basically make himself a nuisance. I say that with all the love in the world! But, that behavior needed correction and Patrick provided the Bark buster training techniques in home and it works like a charm! It was honestly crazy to see the immediate change in Max’s behavior . I highly recommend Bark Busters. They do not use shock collars or punish dogs. They teach owners how to lead and communicate with your dog on their level. Good stuff!
We are so grateful for Patrick! It's been less than 24 hours & we have a new lease on life. The 2 most stressful parts of our day were the morning & evening walks. I never knew how it was going to happen but, I knew we were going to continue to get hurt if we didn't address this behavior. Patrick showed us how to handle the issues we were having with our adult dogs & we're just blown away by how quickly they responded. We HAD a car chasing spaz that pulled so hard he literally was sideways & now we have a guy that looks to me for direction instead of scaring me half to death. We're so happy we found Patrick.....better late than never!! Thanks from us & the BAH Bros. Looking forward to our next meeting!
Awesome first training session with Patrick at Bark Busters for my new, adult rescue pup who is a mixed breed, possibly shepherd, pit, and black mouth cur X. She has extreme separation anxiety. To the point of escaping basic enclosures, trying to break windows, tearing things up, and barking/ drooling constantly. She had to follow me around everywhere around the house when I was home, too. Today, we covered the basics and establishing who’s boss, and that she is to get attention on my terms. I was leery at first thinking she would be afraid of me, but she actually is MORE excited when I call her now and the time together feels more rewarding for both of us. And she already respects my space indoors within 3 hours. I can walk outside a bit, but I haven’t gotten to the major steps yet of leaving her alone at home / addressing behavior at work or on car trips. I really believe I will resolve these issues after meeting my bark busters trainer. She also appeared to be afraid of the crate at first but turns out it’s just anticipation of being alone and scared in it. Today, she actually went into her crate on her own to eat. She seems much more in tune with me and looks to me for direction now- which is the ultimate goal for everything. I’ve been given much valuable homework and will be getting as many visits as I need. But seems I may not need as many as originally thought, and she will be a well trained dog in no time! No need for treats, physical touch, a bunch of different words, or coercion. Just simple dog language. Bark busters truly teaches this concept in an easy to understand manner and results are worth it! I’m so excited to start this new way of life with my new dog. This will be my first professionally trained dog, and I couldn’t feel more confident and proud to own a dog!
A fabulous first session with Patrick of Bark Busters. I have new dogs in training…as if by magic my doggos listened and responded. It really isn’t magic, it is hard work, consistency and layers. Patrick had me jump in to the deep part of the training pool immediately and begin our training. Wow! I LOVE the process!!!! Thank you Patrick for giving me the tools to get my sweet “soon to be better “ obedient dogs back!
Patrick’s a great guy and really good at what he does. He clearly explained the process and more importantly WHY we’re training that way - it really makes sense. I’ve got a 13 week old puppy and I just wanted to make sure I can set him up for success to have a great, safe life and Pat’s method is a great step in the right direction of building a great foundation for the little guy.The Bark Busters methodology is about building a great relationship between you and your pup, which I can appreciate.I’m sure Pat works with all dogs, and if you’re at all on the fence about hiring a trainer, don’t waste your time and just Give Pat a call - I promise it’ll be worth it.Obligatory puppy photo:
Had trouble with my sweet pit mix Siggy not wanting to get in the car to go to the vet. Our vet recommended Bark Busters. The trainer Patrick is awesome, professional and experienced! Day one is going splendidly. Great experience
My husband and I had the most wonderful experience today with bark busters! The training was absolutely wonderful, this simply is the best training company we have had the pleasure to experience! We could not thank Patrick enough for helping us to train our amazing dog!If anyone is looking for dog training I would HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bark Busters!Thank you Bark Busters!!
Flynn, my Wheaten Terrier, barked, jumped and acted aggressive any time someone came to the door or approached the car. It was frightening, frustrating and at time scary.The change in behavior after one visit was amazing. I'm looking forward to following the recipe to a calm well behaved dog. If today is any indication of what that is like I'm going to have the dog I've always wanted.
We are seeing progress instantly with our puppy. Patrick is so knowledgeable and had us laughing and learning the moment he walked into our home. We are so happy with our first lesson and the techniques and skills to teach our new puppy.
The "girls" are a lot calmer and better behaved than ever!! A little more work needed with Kai and the Amazon delivery, but we now know what we are doing and doing it right, for once!!!! We all loved Patrick!
Patrick was very patient and had a lot of useful information for us for our pup just only on day one! We can’t wait to see what the future holds with our training as we implement these daily activities into our routine.
Today I had the pleasure to have Patrick Logue, Behavioral Specialist @ Bark Busters in my home to meet my chihuahua, Lola and myself. Lola had a traumatic experience outdoors 5 weeks ago and would not go outside. Lola's veterinarian, Dr. Kim Seredick @ Treeline Animal Hospital recommended Patrick when I was ready for more professional help. Dr. "Kim " was awesome helping me through a trying time. Patrick was very helpful and provided excellent suggestions to help Lola get over her fear of going outside. Patrick listened carefully to me and was patient and thorough. I am grateful for Patrick and his calm demeanor. Thank you 😊
Patrick was amazing. Provided lots of information and very helpful tips. I am very happy we called them. Thank you all. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful and lots of communication the entire time
Patrick with Bark Busters was amazing with the techniques he's taught my wife and I. We have 2 Shih Tzu that bark too much.He was able to train us to train them not to bark, IN THE FIRST LESSON!!
Patrick from Bark Busters have given our girls back to us. We have a 7 year old and a 3 year old that never exhibited aggression towards each other but within the last 3 months it started with nipping but then ended in a all out attack. After many vet visits and medical issues were ruled out our vet recommended Bark Busters and Patrick. Within the first four hours we saw immediate improvement in the door greetings and backyard barking behavior. We have had no aggression exhibited but am watchful and we have a plan in place if it does. We now know our dogs behavior is largely 80% us in inconsistency of communication and maybe 20% in their makeup. We went from wondering if we would have to make the terrible decision of either overmedicating or giving up one of our beloved family members. Thanks Patrick.
Oliver, my 1 1/2 yr old Scottish Terrier, and I had our first lesson today with Bark Busters. Patrick Hogue is out teacher. I really approve of his training method. Oliver reacted well to his lessons and I learned how to have an in control happy dog. Reccomend this company and their approach to dog training completely. Very enjoyable learning experience for both myself and Oliver. Looking for ward to more lessons.
After getting a 7 month old Frenchie I quickly learned that this breed has given me a challenge I didn’t expect. My dog is now over a year old and my training techniques are not working at all. I found bark busters on line and the reviews were exactly what I was looking for. After the first visit with Patrick I learned to take control of some behaviors that really needed attention. Patrick was great going through the procedures for keeping the dogs where they need to be: relaxed.
Even towards the end of just the very first session, our dog was behaving better. Patrick wasnt lying when he ended the first session with "enjoy your new dog". We are in our first week of Bark Busters and already our relationship with Judith has improved so much. I'm excited to continue to see both us and Judith grow into a trustworthy and respectful relationship with her. Also Patrick has been so awesome and helpful. Highly recommend him as your doggy trainer.
Patrick was amazing! After first session, my husband and I felt so much relief and our dogs have made significant changes in just a short time. They are listening and not crazy, out of control dogs stressing us out!!
It was a pleasure working with Patrick. Very knowledgeable and informative. At first I was a little confused and not sure if this was going to be what I was looking to accomplish with our Abbey. I was amazed at what Abbey was able to do after just a short demonstration by Patrick. We can't wait for Patrick to return and teach me, Ed and of course our Abbey. I am very excited for our next visit. Thank you Patrick.
After having dogs all of my life and being able to train them without issue, my family recently adopted a dog that defied logic. How can that much destruction, mayhem, and loud never ending barking come from one small thing that looks like a teddy bear? And how do none of my previous training methodologies work? And how can I have tried 2 different trainers before Patrick and Bark Busters and still have nothing work. My life and my house had been taken over by a 14.5 lb teddy bear who was the warden and we were the prisoners and no visitations were allowed. Patrick corrected a major miscommunication error and I feel confident my home will be my home and my dinner will be my dinner and we will also have a happy not yappy, healthy dog for years to come.
What a great experience we have had with Patrick! He is really great at training us to better understand our pups and their needs! We highly recommend Bark Busters Home Training.
With this being my 5th doberman and finding training exhausting, slow progress and darn, not fun! I wanted a trainer different from the person I had used before. With a Google search, I contacted Barkbusters and was connected with Patrick. I specifically did not want clicker training (awful). WOW! No treats and we got weeks of results in one session!!!!!! 😳. Our first season was today and Patrick actually made it fun. His personality is award winning, too. What we learned was all new to us and a total game changer! We are super excited!!!! Knowledge is power! Our 4 month old doberman is a good boy, smart, sweet.... and now a 180 under control after one session. A miracle to us!
Patrick was very helpful with correcting and educating us on what we needed to do to help with our dogs behavior and walking. In a short time we were able to see results that worked really well and we will continue to use the training to improve their behavior and walking.
What amazed me most was how quickly the dogs obeyed and responded to the training. It is fairly simple and if you follow the program the results are very impressive. Patrick does a fantastic job of training you to train your dog.
My husband and I enjoyed meeting Patrick and we found both the dog psychology and hands-on training really understandable and easy to follow. Implementing the instructions is working well and our dogs are really getting it! We're very excited!!!
YEAH!!!! We got through to Bomber on our very first lesson and boy does he catch on fast! Patrick was positively amazing and insightful! I can't wait to be fluent in DOG!!!
Patrick from Bark Busters is awesome. He really knows his stuff. He changed my dog’s behavior after just one lesson. Plus he helped us understand how to communicate with our dog better.Can’t wait to continue to see our fur baby become a more enjoyable companion!🫶🏻🐶
OMG, I had a fantastic experience with Bark Busters today. I had taken my dogs to an off-site 10-day obedience class about a year ago. They were perfect with the trainer in "her home," but when I picked them up, I only got a 15-minute overview on handling them. Once I got them to my home, I was very awkward trying to work with my dogs, and it was back to square one in no time. Patrick with Bark Busters came to my home, and instead of training my dogs, he trained me!! By the time Patrick left, my dogs were no longer jumping on people, barking at every ant that crawled by, or following me around everywhere I went (which were the three significant behavior issues I wanted to fix). Patrick taught me how to speak "dog" and change my body language, and I kid you not, I was 100% managing my dogs' behavior by the time Patrick left. And it feels right; nothing awkward about it. That was 7 hours ago, and the transformation in my dogs is unbelievable. Patrick also gave me some great tips for potty training that NEVER would have occurred to me, nor had I ever heard about them from other trainers or research on the internet before. But as soon as he shared those with me, it made perfect sense. I've already started and have high hopes this will work too. I am so excited and can't believe how easy this was. Call Bark Busters; you won't be sorry.
We met with Patrick for the first time today to start training our 5 month old puppy. We are very encouraged by his positive but intentional and meaningful approach to training and feel it aligns well with our personal philosophies. Patrick has great energy and we felt confident to move forward with his long term program as we felt he cared and would support us on the journey.
My wife and me like to thank Patrick alot for the remarkable training that in 2hrs achieved a complete turnaround in Higgins and Cruise anxieties in Higgins somewhat lowered to level 1. Patrick training to dogs and parents unbelievable. We highly recommend Bark Busters
From the start, Patrick was able to explain dog speak in a way we could be into practice immediately. We know the changes we want won't happen overnight but feel confident if we do the homework and use the tools provided, we will have success.We were impressed with Patrick's knowledge and strategies and look forward to making the positive changes we need to make.Thanks Patrick!
A huge thanks to Bark Busters, excellent decision on your part to make Patrick a big part of your team! And to Patrick thank you for instructing me on how to become part of my dog's life. Leo thanks you as well. After the next session he should be able to post the reviews on how I'm doing!
It was amazing we have 2 new dogs. I was skeptical on if it would work. But by the end of the initial training our dogs were behaving like we never seen before. Highly recommend Bark Busters
Patrick is very professional and engaging. It’s a lot to learn and we are up to the challenge. Can’t wait to see the progress made at the 2 week follow up.
Patrick, my trainer was knowledgeable about everything he was teaching me. He explained everything step by step and showed me how to do, We practiced it all. I felt very confident on the progress we had made! I know if I continue to do my homework it will only get better.
Patrick was amazing! The dogs reacted to the bark busters training method so well! Turns out I was the one that needed the training! The change in the dogs when answering the door and walking was AMAZING! I’m going to have the best behaved dogs in all of Bonita Springs. Thank you again Patrick! 🐶🐶🐶🤗
Patrick was great. The techniques he taught us have really started to work on our frenchie, after the first day following our first session their has already been a remarkable change in our pup.

We have a Labrador named Max who is a sweet dog but has to say hello to everyone he meets and basically make himself a nuisance. I say that with all the love in the world! But, that behavior needed correction and Patrick provided the Bark buster training techniques in home and it works like a charm! It was honestly crazy to see the immediate change in Max’s behavior . I highly recommend Bark Busters. They do not use shock collars or punish dogs. They teach owners how to lead and communicate with your dog on their level. Good stuff!
We are so grateful for Patrick! It's been less than 24 hours & we have a new lease on life. The 2 most stressful parts of our day were the morning & evening walks. I never knew how it was going to happen but, I knew we were going to continue to get hurt if we didn't address this behavior. Patrick showed us how to handle the issues we were having with our adult dogs & we're just blown away by how quickly they responded. We HAD a car chasing spaz that pulled so hard he literally was sideways & now we have a guy that looks to me for direction instead of scaring me half to death. We're so happy we found Patrick.....better late than never!! Thanks from us & the BAH Bros. Looking forward to our next meeting!
Awesome first training session with Patrick at Bark Busters for my new, adult rescue pup who is a mixed breed, possibly shepherd, pit, and black mouth cur X. She has extreme separation anxiety. To the point of escaping basic enclosures, trying to break windows, tearing things up, and barking/ drooling constantly. She had to follow me around everywhere around the house when I was home, too. Today, we covered the basics and establishing who’s boss, and that she is to get attention on my terms. I was leery at first thinking she would be afraid of me, but she actually is MORE excited when I call her now and the time together feels more rewarding for both of us. And she already respects my space indoors within 3 hours. I can walk outside a bit, but I haven’t gotten to the major steps yet of leaving her alone at home / addressing behavior at work or on car trips. I really believe I will resolve these issues after meeting my bark busters trainer. She also appeared to be afraid of the crate at first but turns out it’s just anticipation of being alone and scared in it. Today, she actually went into her crate on her own to eat. She seems much more in tune with me and looks to me for direction now- which is the ultimate goal for everything. I’ve been given much valuable homework and will be getting as many visits as I need. But seems I may not need as many as originally thought, and she will be a well trained dog in no time! No need for treats, physical touch, a bunch of different words, or coercion. Just simple dog language. Bark busters truly teaches this concept in an easy to understand manner and results are worth it! I’m so excited to start this new way of life with my new dog. This will be my first professionally trained dog, and I couldn’t feel more confident and proud to own a dog!
A fabulous first session with Patrick of Bark Busters. I have new dogs in training…as if by magic my doggos listened and responded. It really isn’t magic, it is hard work, consistency and layers. Patrick had me jump in to the deep part of the training pool immediately and begin our training. Wow! I LOVE the process!!!! Thank you Patrick for giving me the tools to get my sweet “soon to be better “ obedient dogs back!
Patrick’s a great guy and really good at what he does. He clearly explained the process and more importantly WHY we’re training that way - it really makes sense. I’ve got a 13 week old puppy and I just wanted to make sure I can set him up for success to have a great, safe life and Pat’s method is a great step in the right direction of building a great foundation for the little guy.The Bark Busters methodology is about building a great relationship between you and your pup, which I can appreciate.I’m sure Pat works with all dogs, and if you’re at all on the fence about hiring a trainer, don’t waste your time and just Give Pat a call - I promise it’ll be worth it.Obligatory puppy photo:
Had trouble with my sweet pit mix Siggy not wanting to get in the car to go to the vet. Our vet recommended Bark Busters. The trainer Patrick is awesome, professional and experienced! Day one is going splendidly. Great experience
My husband and I had the most wonderful experience today with bark busters! The training was absolutely wonderful, this simply is the best training company we have had the pleasure to experience! We could not thank Patrick enough for helping us to train our amazing dog!If anyone is looking for dog training I would HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bark Busters!Thank you Bark Busters!!
Flynn, my Wheaten Terrier, barked, jumped and acted aggressive any time someone came to the door or approached the car. It was frightening, frustrating and at time scary.The change in behavior after one visit was amazing. I'm looking forward to following the recipe to a calm well behaved dog. If today is any indication of what that is like I'm going to have the dog I've always wanted.
We are seeing progress instantly with our puppy. Patrick is so knowledgeable and had us laughing and learning the moment he walked into our home. We are so happy with our first lesson and the techniques and skills to teach our new puppy.
The "girls" are a lot calmer and better behaved than ever!! A little more work needed with Kai and the Amazon delivery, but we now know what we are doing and doing it right, for once!!!! We all loved Patrick!
Patrick was very patient and had a lot of useful information for us for our pup just only on day one! We can’t wait to see what the future holds with our training as we implement these daily activities into our routine.
Today I had the pleasure to have Patrick Logue, Behavioral Specialist @ Bark Busters in my home to meet my chihuahua, Lola and myself. Lola had a traumatic experience outdoors 5 weeks ago and would not go outside. Lola's veterinarian, Dr. Kim Seredick @ Treeline Animal Hospital recommended Patrick when I was ready for more professional help. Dr. "Kim " was awesome helping me through a trying time. Patrick was very helpful and provided excellent suggestions to help Lola get over her fear of going outside. Patrick listened carefully to me and was patient and thorough. I am grateful for Patrick and his calm demeanor. Thank you 😊
Patrick was amazing. Provided lots of information and very helpful tips. I am very happy we called them. Thank you all. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful and lots of communication the entire time
Patrick with Bark Busters was amazing with the techniques he's taught my wife and I. We have 2 Shih Tzu that bark too much.He was able to train us to train them not to bark, IN THE FIRST LESSON!!
Patrick from Bark Busters have given our girls back to us. We have a 7 year old and a 3 year old that never exhibited aggression towards each other but within the last 3 months it started with nipping but then ended in a all out attack. After many vet visits and medical issues were ruled out our vet recommended Bark Busters and Patrick. Within the first four hours we saw immediate improvement in the door greetings and backyard barking behavior. We have had no aggression exhibited but am watchful and we have a plan in place if it does. We now know our dogs behavior is largely 80% us in inconsistency of communication and maybe 20% in their makeup. We went from wondering if we would have to make the terrible decision of either overmedicating or giving up one of our beloved family members. Thanks Patrick.
Oliver, my 1 1/2 yr old Scottish Terrier, and I had our first lesson today with Bark Busters. Patrick Hogue is out teacher. I really approve of his training method. Oliver reacted well to his lessons and I learned how to have an in control happy dog. Reccomend this company and their approach to dog training completely. Very enjoyable learning experience for both myself and Oliver. Looking for ward to more lessons.
After getting a 7 month old Frenchie I quickly learned that this breed has given me a challenge I didn’t expect. My dog is now over a year old and my training techniques are not working at all. I found bark busters on line and the reviews were exactly what I was looking for. After the first visit with Patrick I learned to take control of some behaviors that really needed attention. Patrick was great going through the procedures for keeping the dogs where they need to be: relaxed.
Even towards the end of just the very first session, our dog was behaving better. Patrick wasnt lying when he ended the first session with "enjoy your new dog". We are in our first week of Bark Busters and already our relationship with Judith has improved so much. I'm excited to continue to see both us and Judith grow into a trustworthy and respectful relationship with her. Also Patrick has been so awesome and helpful. Highly recommend him as your doggy trainer.
Patrick was amazing! After first session, my husband and I felt so much relief and our dogs have made significant changes in just a short time. They are listening and not crazy, out of control dogs stressing us out!!
It was a pleasure working with Patrick. Very knowledgeable and informative. At first I was a little confused and not sure if this was going to be what I was looking to accomplish with our Abbey. I was amazed at what Abbey was able to do after just a short demonstration by Patrick. We can't wait for Patrick to return and teach me, Ed and of course our Abbey. I am very excited for our next visit. Thank you Patrick.
After having dogs all of my life and being able to train them without issue, my family recently adopted a dog that defied logic. How can that much destruction, mayhem, and loud never ending barking come from one small thing that looks like a teddy bear? And how do none of my previous training methodologies work? And how can I have tried 2 different trainers before Patrick and Bark Busters and still have nothing work. My life and my house had been taken over by a 14.5 lb teddy bear who was the warden and we were the prisoners and no visitations were allowed. Patrick corrected a major miscommunication error and I feel confident my home will be my home and my dinner will be my dinner and we will also have a happy not yappy, healthy dog for years to come.
What a great experience we have had with Patrick! He is really great at training us to better understand our pups and their needs! We highly recommend Bark Busters Home Training.
With this being my 5th doberman and finding training exhausting, slow progress and darn, not fun! I wanted a trainer different from the person I had used before. With a Google search, I contacted Barkbusters and was connected with Patrick. I specifically did not want clicker training (awful). WOW! No treats and we got weeks of results in one session!!!!!! 😳. Our first season was today and Patrick actually made it fun. His personality is award winning, too. What we learned was all new to us and a total game changer! We are super excited!!!! Knowledge is power! Our 4 month old doberman is a good boy, smart, sweet.... and now a 180 under control after one session. A miracle to us!
Patrick was very helpful with correcting and educating us on what we needed to do to help with our dogs behavior and walking. In a short time we were able to see results that worked really well and we will continue to use the training to improve their behavior and walking.
What amazed me most was how quickly the dogs obeyed and responded to the training. It is fairly simple and if you follow the program the results are very impressive. Patrick does a fantastic job of training you to train your dog.
My husband and I enjoyed meeting Patrick and we found both the dog psychology and hands-on training really understandable and easy to follow. Implementing the instructions is working well and our dogs are really getting it! We're very excited!!!
YEAH!!!! We got through to Bomber on our very first lesson and boy does he catch on fast! Patrick was positively amazing and insightful! I can't wait to be fluent in DOG!!!
Patrick from Bark Busters is awesome. He really knows his stuff. He changed my dog’s behavior after just one lesson. Plus he helped us understand how to communicate with our dog better.Can’t wait to continue to see our fur baby become a more enjoyable companion!🫶🏻🐶
OMG, I had a fantastic experience with Bark Busters today. I had taken my dogs to an off-site 10-day obedience class about a year ago. They were perfect with the trainer in "her home," but when I picked them up, I only got a 15-minute overview on handling them. Once I got them to my home, I was very awkward trying to work with my dogs, and it was back to square one in no time. Patrick with Bark Busters came to my home, and instead of training my dogs, he trained me!! By the time Patrick left, my dogs were no longer jumping on people, barking at every ant that crawled by, or following me around everywhere I went (which were the three significant behavior issues I wanted to fix). Patrick taught me how to speak "dog" and change my body language, and I kid you not, I was 100% managing my dogs' behavior by the time Patrick left. And it feels right; nothing awkward about it. That was 7 hours ago, and the transformation in my dogs is unbelievable. Patrick also gave me some great tips for potty training that NEVER would have occurred to me, nor had I ever heard about them from other trainers or research on the internet before. But as soon as he shared those with me, it made perfect sense. I've already started and have high hopes this will work too. I am so excited and can't believe how easy this was. Call Bark Busters; you won't be sorry.
We met with Patrick for the first time today to start training our 5 month old puppy. We are very encouraged by his positive but intentional and meaningful approach to training and feel it aligns well with our personal philosophies. Patrick has great energy and we felt confident to move forward with his long term program as we felt he cared and would support us on the journey.
My wife and me like to thank Patrick alot for the remarkable training that in 2hrs achieved a complete turnaround in Higgins and Cruise anxieties in Higgins somewhat lowered to level 1. Patrick training to dogs and parents unbelievable. We highly recommend Bark Busters
From the start, Patrick was able to explain dog speak in a way we could be into practice immediately. We know the changes we want won't happen overnight but feel confident if we do the homework and use the tools provided, we will have success.We were impressed with Patrick's knowledge and strategies and look forward to making the positive changes we need to make.Thanks Patrick!
A huge thanks to Bark Busters, excellent decision on your part to make Patrick a big part of your team! And to Patrick thank you for instructing me on how to become part of my dog's life. Leo thanks you as well. After the next session he should be able to post the reviews on how I'm doing!
It was amazing we have 2 new dogs. I was skeptical on if it would work. But by the end of the initial training our dogs were behaving like we never seen before. Highly recommend Bark Busters
Patrick is very professional and engaging. It’s a lot to learn and we are up to the challenge. Can’t wait to see the progress made at the 2 week follow up.
Patrick, my trainer was knowledgeable about everything he was teaching me. He explained everything step by step and showed me how to do, We practiced it all. I felt very confident on the progress we had made! I know if I continue to do my homework it will only get better.
Patrick was amazing! The dogs reacted to the bark busters training method so well! Turns out I was the one that needed the training! The change in the dogs when answering the door and walking was AMAZING! I’m going to have the best behaved dogs in all of Bonita Springs. Thank you again Patrick! 🐶🐶🐶🤗
Patrick was great. The techniques he taught us have really started to work on our frenchie, after the first day following our first session their has already been a remarkable change in our pup.
