FirstBarkI googled dog trainers and found Bark Busters. I am a review person, so I read all the reviews before making a decision. We met with Patrick today to work with our recently rescued 6 1/2-year-old chocolate lab. Hazel is a large lab at almost 95 lbs. Just one session with Patrick and both my husband and I feel more confident in how to address Hazel's anxiety and reactive problems.

Do you do training for protection
Hi Jim, Thank you for your question. It is one we get a lot. We do not do protection work or any Schutzhund training. We work with family dogs. Thank you again for your question and good luck to you in your search for a trainer.

Need a professional to get my 6 y/o golden retriever able to go on an airplane as my Psychiatric service dog. He is a therapy dog at the Cape hospital.
Susan, Thank you for reaching out. We do not train any types of service dogs. Again, thank you for reaching out.

Do you train for Canine Good Citizen awards?
Specifically, no. In general, yes. I’d like to think my clients who wish to complete this test could easily do so using our methods and the training equipment we recommend is safe and accepted by the AKC.

I have 2 5 year old Jack Russell Terriers, Benny and Gracie. Benny has been aggressive and territorial over the past 4 years of his life. He has made it very difficult to have people at the house, going for walks, playing at dog parks etc. I found BarkBusters via google and their reviews seemed promising. I scheduled an introductory lesson with Patrick and there was an immediate improvement. Not just with Benny but also Gracie. My parents and I learned so much in how to communicate with Benny and Gracie that there has been a noticeable improvement. Before Patrick came, there had been serious discussions about re-homing Benny due to his aggressive behavior. Now that we know how to communicate with him and we stay committed to the techniques and the homework, we are hopeful that Benny can stay home with us and live a happy life free from stress and unwanted aggression. Patrick, from all of us, Thank you so much. There aren't enough words to express my deepest gratitude for you and for BarkBusters Sincerely, The Barbaccia Family
Patrick worked wonders with our 4-year-old Dachshund Wyatt!! We took a walk today during our first training session, Wyatt did not bark or lunge at the neighbor's dogs!!! It brought tears to my eyes! Day one I couldn't believe my eyes; I now will look forward to future walks with my boy instead of worrying who or what we will encounter along the way. Thank you, Patrick!! Sincerely Kim & Doug
Patrick was fantastic. He met our high-drive Malinois for the first time and was able to get her calm within just a few minutes. We were extremely impressed with his skill and approach.
