Trainer(s): Tim Girouard
Rocky

Dog Name:  Rocky

Dog Age:  1 yr. 6 mos.

Dog Breed:  Boston Terrier

Behaviour issues: 

Barking, Dog Aggression, Obedience Issues

Rocky was a recent rescue by Jennifer from a rather less than desirable situation.  Rocky came into the home and began run at the door and bark at the bell, people,  bark when in the yard,  show aggression to other dogs when on leash, and would chase Jennifer’s cat, Buddy around the house to the point that Buddy would have to be separated from Rocky and be kept in the basement.  Jennifer felt very sad for Rocky because she knew he came from a less than ideal situation and she didn’t know how to deal with Rocky’s issues.

Outcome Descriptions: 

Rocky learned that Jennifer is a strong leader, Jennifer and Wendell are in charge of keeping the pack safe, and that other dogs when walking are Jennifer’s responsibility to deal with  and that chasing Buddy is wrong in Jennifer and Wendell’s rules for their ‘pack’.

Client Comment / Review: 

 Bark Busters is excellent! We would highly recommend our trainer Tim and the program to anyone who is looking to improve the comfort level of their beloved canine companion. The overall core values of the program were right on target with what our dog Rocky needed...which was to feel safe, have leadership and become more of a dog instead of the protector and provider. Since beginning to work with Bark Buster's one month ago, Rocky has developed a comfort level with our cat Buddy, enjoyed many afternoons running free at the dog park (something we never thought he would be able to do) and seems to be able to relax and enjoy long naps on our bed. Rocky was kept in a crate for most of his young life until we adopted him and brought him into our home. Bark Buster's has helped us give him the wonderful life that he deserves. Thank you Tim and Bark Busters. We are very grateful. Jennifer, Wendell and Rocky.
