Meet Alexandre Messier

Alexandre has transformed the lives of over 1,500 dogs and families across the Greater Montreal area since 2011. As a Grand Master Trainer and Behaviour Therapist, he’s one of Quebec’s most experienced and trusted dog trainers. Coming from a background in the media industry, Alexandre developed strong communication and teaching skills that translate perfectly into helping families understand their dogs.

After spending a decade in television, he reached a turning point and made the pivotal decision to combine his passion for teaching with his love for animals. Determined to help families build better relationships with their dogs, Alexandre became committed to transforming behaviour problems into peaceful, loving companionship. As a certified Behaviour Therapist and Trainer, he specializes in helping dog owners communicate effectively with their companions so families can enjoy the calm, connected relationships they deserve.

His mission is simple: help dog owners understand their canine companions so they can enjoy relaxed, happy dogs.

“Every time I go out to see a client, I am given the opportunity to make a difference. The best part about being a dog trainer is the moment someone tells you: ‘You have changed my life!'”

We Understand How Frustrating
Dog Behaviour Problems Can Be

You love your dog. But their behaviour is draining you.

  • Your home feels chaotic.
  • Friends avoid coming over.
  • Walks are a constant battle.
  • You’ve tried training classes, tools, techniques, and nothing has stuck.
  • The barking wears you down.
  • The aggression makes you anxious.
  • The separation anxiety breaks your heart.

It’s exhausting. And it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Why Our Approach Works Where Others Fails:

  • In-home dog training addresses real-world behaviours
  • No punishment-based methods
  • Tools and techniques designed to work long-term, not just mask the problem
  • We train you, not just your dog
  • Results often visible in the first 2–2.5-hour session
  • We offer lifetime support, which means you’re never alone

Laval Dog Owners Just Like You Are Finally Enjoying Well-Behaved Dogs

“Great experience so far. Alex has been extremely responsive. We got set up with an appointment and a work plan less than a week after we reached out. He’s introduced new concepts in a very accessible way, and we feel confident and excited about putting our plan into action with our dogs.”

— Leann Brown, Laval

“We called Barkbusters for help with our 2 dogs, who are all reactive, who bark at any sound, who jump on people. After 1 session with Alex, we already saw a HUGE difference in our dogs. Alex not only gave us great tips, but he also helped us better understand our dogs and how to communicate with them. Alex was incredibly patient with us, with our dogs; he made sure to explain every step to us. Highly recommend Bark Busters to anyone who needs help!”

— Jasmine K., Laval

FAQs

How much does training cost?

We offer a one-time fee that includes your initial assessment, training sessions, and lifetime support. Pricing depends on your specific needs. Call 438-777-8248 for a free quote, or book a consultation to discuss your situation.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients see noticeable improvement during the first session. As Jasmine shared, after just 1 session, she saw a huge difference in her dogs. Long-term habits take consistency, don’t forget! We schedule follow-up appointments to suit your dog’s needs and help you! Your lifetime guarantee means you always have the support you need.

Do you train all breeds and ages?

Yes! We’ve successfully trained puppies to senior dogs and all breeds. No dog is too old or too stubborn to learn.

What if my dog is aggressive? Is training safe?

Aggression is one of our specialties. Each Bark Busters trainer is trained on our unique “Stand Rite No Bite” system, and must pass a test to make sure they know how to safely approach aggressive situations. We use safe, effective communication techniques, and coach the humans on how to address the root cause of aggression to create lasting change.

Why in-home training instead of group classes?

Dogs behave differently at home, where they’re most comfortable and where problems actually occur. In-home training addresses the exact behaviours causing you stress, in the exact setting where they happen.

What does "lifetime support" really mean?

You can call us anytime – weeks, months, or years later – for advice or follow-up sessions. There’s no time limit. We’re here for the life of your dog.

Do I need special equipment like bark collars?

We do not use any form of shock collar. Your trainer will assess and advise you on what your specific dog will need. You do not need to buy anything in advance.

How long are training sessions?

The initial session is typically 2-2.5 hours. This gives us time to assess your dog, teach you effective techniques, and start seeing results immediately. The follow-up sessions are typically an hour.

What areas do you serve?

Alexandre offers dog training services in North Shore, Laval, Repentigny, Terrebonne, Saint-Jérôme, Mascouche, Blainville, Lorraine, Rosemère, Lachenaie, L’Assomption, and surrounding areas.
