Bark Busters In Home Dog Training - Hamilton Niagara

My husband and I are so grateful to Linda for her help with our two dogs. We have a 10 year old heeler lab mix and 9 month old aussie/german shepherd collie mix (both rescues). Our 10 year old always had a few issues that we just lived with but when we got our puppy- we felt like we had no control. We hit our breaking point last month when we couldn't even walk him anymore and he was jumping all over everyone when we have a baby on the way.We contacted Bark Busters and they made an appointment for us with Linda. When she came to our house we could immediately tell she was extremely knowledgeable and we trusted she could help us. She was very thorough and took her time going over each of our dogs with us and explaining the training/correction methods.By the time she left, both dogs were completely different in their behaviour and how they responded to my husband and I- our neighbours even noticed a change! That evening I was able to walk the 9 month old for the first time by myself in months. Both dogs are calm, relaxed and responding to the corrections she taught us. The puppy didn't even jump up at our 8 year old son when he got home. Thank you SO much Linda- we recommend you to anyone!

WORTH EVERY PENNY! Saw a difference in our dogs' behaviours after only one week! So nice to understand why our dogs are acting the way they do, now we have clear conscise direction on how we react (or act). Love the power of the BAH. Linda is amazing!

Linda is amazing! Worth every penny if you care about your dog. Like us, after decades of dog owning and obedience training the underlying cause of your dog's behaviour will be a 100% lack of owner understanding dog speak"

Michelle helped my family with a 2year oldrehomed beagle. When he came to our home 2 months ago he was jumping up on guests and us when he was very excited (coming home, entering a space). He was also demanding our attention by mouthing or pawing us. Michelle let us know she was training us not the dog :)Michelle gave us some great tools to manage this behaviour. We saw many positive changes in him immediately. We feel Michelle really took the time to hear our concerns and challenges knowing that Buster was still new to our home and that we were all still getting to know each other. At our check in we shared that we had some challenges with him in the yard so she came back to our home and provided us with some more tools. Again she took the time to really hear where the challenges lie. She also helped us fine tune some of the tools she had already provided us with. She gave us great feedback at our check in as well.Michelle also gave very helpful write ups that we revisit (daily at first) to remind us of the tools and things we need to do to make them successful. She also provided us with great resources to share with our 4yr old son. Michelle is very responsive toquestions or concerns which was great!Michelle truly helped us transition Buster into our home successfully by training us and increasing our confidence in managing his excitement. She gave us the tools to show Buster where he fits in our pack. We are grateful for her help and will not hesitate to reach out to her again in the future.

Linda just gets it. Linda speaks and understands dog but is also such a people person. Her sessions with our dog have made such a positive difference in our lives. We already loved our dog so much but bark busters helps us love her even more!

After reading the reviews we decided to try Bark Busters to help us with our 6 month old rescue puppy shepherd/husky mix. Linda has personal experience with rescues and came to our house and within minutes had him respecting her commands and setting the groundwork for us. Between the initial training session as well as the equipment supplied she has made a lasting impact on how we interact with our dog and how he will now respect our commands. A few immediate changes were boundaries involving furniture(photo posted) , kitchen work area, entering and leaving the house and leash walks. Although we had plenty of reviews to base our decision off, we were still astounded by how simple and straightforward the work is for us as dogs owners.

Cannot recommend Michelle enough! We noticed a huge difference in only an hour with my pups! They are aged 2yrs and 12yrs so young or old Bark Busters is the place to use!! We look forward to our future sessions! The WaggWalker is a game changer!

Working with Michelle at BarkBusters has been an amazing experience for our family and with our dog. This method brings common sense, understanding of dog behaviour and easy to follow training to the dog ownership experience - as a new owner I am so glad I called BarkBusters! Michelle was patient (with the humans!) and open to a million questions - she is great to work with! I highly recommend this training service - and Treacle is so thankful to be relieved of his guard dog duties and leave his owners to be in charge! If you have issues with ANY dog behaviour - this is the way to go and Michelle is terrific!

My husband and I engaged Michelle to assist us with an addition to the pack. Michelle attended our home to learn about our pups and to train us. Michelle is the most patient and passionate trainer we have ever met. She takes the time to understand our situation, and coaches us step by step. Her love as a trainer is evident in the way that she engages the humans and our four legged family members. Michelle’s instruction has lifted a weight off our shoulders and we have continued to feel supported thru the progress checkins, emails and subsequent visits. In addition, Michelle ensures that we are comfortable with our homework, shares goals for the next visit and reminds us that she is an email, text or call away. We highly recommend Michelle…she is a dog whisperer, human whisperer and miracle worker. Thank you Michelle!

My boyfriend and I have a 2 year old Bernadoodle that has gained some aggressive/ protective behaviours. After one session with Linda I’m amazed at how he’s responding, I know it’s early but I haven’t had progress like this in the year I’ve been researching and trying to fix this uncomfortable issue we’ve been having. I can’t wait to continue and give my pup a better and happier life. Thank you already Linda, your awesome!
