Bark Busters - Mike The Dog Trainer

Mike is fantastic, and made an enormous difference in our dog’s behavior after just one session. His approach made the most sense out of all the trainers/dog owners I’ve spoken with — communicating with your dog in a way that they are able to understand. I’d tried so many other things that had been suggested to me, but none worked particularly well. With Mike’s help, our dog understood what we wanted immediately. On top of being an effective trainer, Mike is also reasonable, kind, and enjoyable to work with. I would highly recommend Mike/Bark Busters to anyone looking to improve their dog’s behavior as well as their own relationship with their dog.

Outstanding Results with Our Reactive German Shepherd After years of struggling with our 100-lb, 4-year-old German Shepherd Zach, Cassidy Lewis from BarkBusters completely transformed our lives in just two sessions. Background: Zach was never properly socialized due to COVID and early health issues. Previous group training attempts, including a 6-week "Reactive Rover" class, were complete failures. We were at our wit's end with his constant barking at everything and our inability to walk him safely. The Results: In her first 2-hour home visit, Cassidy completely resolved Zach's constant barking problem. During her second visit, she taught us effective leash training techniques that we now practice daily with success. What Made the Difference: Cassidy's approach is refreshingly humane and natural - no intimidation, yelling, or harsh methods. She teaches you to communicate in a "canine way" to establish leadership through structure and boundaries. Her method focuses on becoming the "pack leader" while still maintaining a loving relationship with your dog. Professional Excellence: Cassidy clearly understands dog psychology and behavior. She recognized that Zach is intelligent and sweet, and her techniques brought out the best in him. Her follow-up communication was thorough and encouraging, complete with educational resources. Highly Recommended: If you have a reactive dog or behavioral issues that group classes can't solve, Cassidy's individual home training is worth every penny. She succeeds where others fail because she truly understands how to reach difficult dogs and teach owners effective communication techniques. Don't waste time with ineffective group classes - call Cassidy Lewis at BarkBusters of Fairfield County. She's a true professional who delivers real results.
