Client Comment / Review:
My experience with Bark Busters and Bill was the best thing I have ever done for myself and my dog's! It all started when I had to appear in court, as I was being charged with "persistent noise and barking" by the city of Mississauga (up to a maximum fine of $5000) resulting from leaving my 2 dogs unattended in the backyard of my own home. As a dog owner and lover, I found it hard to believe that my two German Pointers were the cause of this situation in which they were unfortunately upsetting my neighbours. I never thought my dogs were untrained as I thought I was doing a pretty good job with them. The reality was, they were only listening when they wanted to! After appearing in court, I had the opportunity to try to improve the situation myself. I have seen many dog's attend multiple dog training courses, but the results in my opinion were unsatisfactory. I knew I had to find something different! I researched on line and when I came across Bark Busters..I was rather impressed with their experience and approach. I contacted Bill, explained my situation and decided to take the chance. I met with Bill a couple days after our phone conversation and after our first training session, I was astounded at the immediate results of this program. To say the least, no training is ever easy if you want results, but these were immediate and all they required was a little bit of time with my dog's each day. My dog's - Maxine and Shooter became like two different dogs, they weren't just listening when they wanted to, they knew from that point on, that I was the boss and the changes were just remarkable. My dogs have since stopped barking, even to the point that my charges were dropped and have even improved in many other areas. They aren't pulling on the leash when we go for a walk, no matter how excited and thankfully have even learned to not eat my belongings. Maxine and Shooter have become the most wonderful dog's I am proud to say I have trained them with Bark Busters. Bill, your patience and your time is greatly appreciated and I am soooo thankful that I took this chance. It was worth every penny if not more!
