We contracted barkbusters to help us train our new puppy 4 years ago. we spent 800 to have them work with us for the life of our dog. as it turns out- this is a joke. the woman, laura, came once and every time we called (about 1x a year) she gave us attitude and was annoyed we were calling with questions or for help. this company is JOKE. laura works for house calls in all of manhattan and is TERRIBLE. she is a fraud. she will take your 800 bucks and give you a hassle should you ever need her again. complete fraud - i wish i never paid this horrific woman.
I used Bark Busters and had a very positive experience
She cam to my house a few times and that's all I needed the system works like a charm. I tell everyone about Bark Busters. I have used other trainers and never had results as good as this. It isn't the kind of training that they do the work. You have to do it or the dog will never get better. I'm very happy with Bark Busters. I know three other friends that have used them as well. They are happy too. Donna.
I also purchased the lifetime training package from Bark Busters and have had great results. My trainer was available whenever I needed him and has done about 6 or 7 sessions so far and I'm very happy with the results. I would definitely recommend them.
So happy it worked for you. I had a no-trainer from hell in Florida who got the money and couldn't be reached again...lifetime help didn't last more then 1 visit and a promise
Ya know it seems to me that some folks would rather complain in this arrina than confront the business owner. About 90% of the time I'm able to resolve the issues I have with business owners, if I take the time to talk with them and be honest with myself. This dog training company tells us up front that we have to do the work. My trainer told me from day one that she was my coach. Not the dogs pack leader. It was clear that I had to call her if I needed her. And yes if I called her 3 times and didn't do what she told me to, I would expect her to be a bit on the firm side. I am a life coach so I know it's up to us to make change. Not the coach! They guide us and we listen. After all if I ignore my coach, why should I get mad at her? It's my own issue. Well I guess I'm just frustrated today. As a coach myself, I take on a lot of my clients problems. I wish that woman well but I suggest she call the trainer or at least her manager. It is a franchise!
I called and she never responded. So check with the people who complain before you stick up for the lousy trainers
My Attitude towards Bark Busters. Fraud. I complain to the HQ in Sydney and it was the same guy from the 1st time that return my e-mail, which I just as well ignore him.
Pugs are Impossible to Train. adorable, but can be stubborn. Train when to do his business. and it did not worked. right in front of yeah. and it was the owners fault.
I have now have a Beagle after the Puppy Pug sadly but, absolutely. did not suffer when he pass-away to doggy heaven. sure my Beable has been naughty insides, but, after while, he is learning. he barks when he must go out side. and in the middle of the night, he goes nut's until he goes outdoors.
Anyway, the Trainers. said that my pug should not sleep with me, which is hog wash in my house, telling me what to do.
that is the point, to train him in case of an over night break out doors.
The Trainers said not to take him to Church, which, we not only bless our Pets. St Johns Episcopal Cathedral in NYC blessed an Elephant
Therefore, well behave dogs are welcome to attend. and my Doggy is so good and quit, he prays as well, we will never known.
matter of fact. I put a bill on his Paw. and help him put in the offering plate adorable.
and actually, I have trained him on my own, with help from my friends.and tips. just self Initiative training..
I had a friend from out of town, that wanted to join us. the Trainer was rude and bossy, and I said, this is still my house, and besides, he is a witness towards your Attitude, he Immediate change his moodiness.
Thank goodness. I never saw him again. some service, he never iniviatively bother to call to follow up.
it was too late, but, my neighbor, whom, I have no clue whom they are. inquired, to him and he as rude as he wanted to change the price.
Learned all I need to know about BarkBusters. I was a dog obedience instructor years ago.Walking with my well-adjusted dog today, I met a couple with a very nice German Shepherd.
"Is your dog friendly?" "She's unreliable." My dog has good dog-manners, and I trust her judgment. "You can go ahead and let them sniff--nothing will happen." The shepherd was friendly, then confused, then made a bit of an attack--no harm, my dog stepped away, didn't get excited. "Have you considered getting some training?" "Oh we have a private trainer." "Who is your trainer?" "BarkBusters." "How long have you been working with them?" "A year." "A year? Your dog has no idea how to behave!
May I know what this service costs you?" "$500" "Look, folks, the usual obedience course takes around six weeks, and I am in a position to tell you there is not a thing wrong with your dog except that it is completely untrained, has no social skills, and you have no idea what to do. A competent trainer could teach it the basics in a matter of hours, have it more or less trained in a week or two.
Add a couple of weeks to finish training you, and that's all there is to it.What did you get for all that money?"
