Bark Busters - Mike The Dog Trainer

Fairfield Connecticut has its very own dog whisperer. Michael is the absolute BEST! He was first recommended to us via a friend and then through a quick Facebook search on behavioral dog trainers, and we couldn't be happier that we were led his way. First off, he's a great guy. He's funny, personable, helpful and genuinely wants the best for you and your dog. Our first session was 3 hours long and so informative. It helped us recognize the role we played in regards to our dog's behavior. At the end of this session, he had our dog responsive to his techniques and, therefore, calmer in general. We had homework to do and Mike was always accessible with any questions/concerns we had. His response time was incredible. We are gradually addressing our concerns and the second session was equally as productive with our dog minimizing his aggression towards other dogs within a few exercises. It is truly unlike anything we could've imagined and our expectations have indeed been surpassed. Our dog is no longer furry and furious nor is he bouncing from the windows to the walls, he is becoming the pet we always knew he could be. We are so grateful for Michael and the bark busters techniques and couldn't recommend him enough.

Mike is by far the most knowledgeable dog trainer I have ever worked with (and I have had more than a few over the years). Within the first session I noticed astounding positive change in my dog’s behavior in the house as well as in public. Mike is always available when I need him, whether it be over text/email, over a quick call, or in person. He has even helped me with dietary and allergy advice for my dog. After working with Mike, not only has he taught me how to make my dog understand what I need, but he has made me understand what she needs to be a happy, respectful companion. She is truly happier than ever. I cannot thank Mike enough!!!

I just had one session with Mike and I am now sitting on my couch completely mind blown!🤯. My two dogs constantly jumped on people (and me when I came home), barked at every dog or person that walked by and severely begged for food, they were practically on my plate. In one session Mike put an end to all of those behaviors. My youngest dog is only a year old and was a freaking maniac and now I’m looking at this well behaved one year old dog in disbelief. I don’t know how Mike does it but he did and he also gave me the tools that I need to maintain the training. I can’t say enough good things about Mike and his ability to change the lives of dogs and their owners so quickly. He’s worth every penny!! Thank you Mike, you are truly amazing.
