OMG- Curtis gave us such great tools!! We saw immediate changes in our dog's behavior- barking! She also gave us great tools for leash training. It was money well spent!! Thanks Curtis.

I was a little skeptical at first when I called and realized that Bark Busters is a franchise. However, I set up a complimentary consultation with Curtis anyways and I am SO glad I did. I have two dogs with very different needs, one is a very shy puppy and the other is an outgoing sweet as can be Australian Shepherd but turns into a completely different dog when the leash goes on. We have tried multiple methods and trainers to help with leash aggression and nothing has worked. Curtis was able to correct 6 years of bad behavior within an hour of meeting Buckley. To say I was shocked would be a complete understatement. I didn't think it was possible, especially in such a short time frame. We have continued working with Buckley on this and the change is still astounding. Curtis gives a dog owner the tools they need and does not promote dependence on him. With very few in person visits, she is able to initiate big changes and is consistently available via phone/text/skype when specific questions come up.

Wow, Curtis and the Bark Busters technique are both amazing. I spent an hour and a half with Curtis this afternoon. In one session we transformed the leadership in the pack. My dogs now look at me for guidance in how to react. We have also corrected the dogs pulling while on walks and aggressive behavior to the front door when a guest arrives. What I am most surprised by was the ability to bring another dog into my house and have Kingston not react. Normally he lunges at any dog he sees however when I brought a new dog in the door he looked at me vs give the new dog any attention. I feel like I don't recognize my dogs after our session because they were so well behaved. The training starts now and I have my homework to work on to ensure I stay the leader of the pack. Curtis, if you need a reference please have someone reach out to me directly.

After lots of research, I called Curtis. She answered my many questions effectively, was patient and positive. We have two labs, around 6 years old, and the male Jake believed the our iron fence was not to be approached by others - dogs, strangers, kids. He would bark a lot, and his back would go up. His partner in crime, Bella, would bark sharply and often. They knew if their bark collar or training collar was on or off. No amount of "Stop" etc. would work though they are well-trained in many other areas, such as bird hunting, and can be kenneled with other dogs and get along with the dogs. Curtis explained what Jake was thinking and effectively taught us how to change his attitude and behavior. Another trainer was going use an electric fence for a couple months, but these dogs know when this sort of thing is active or not. We must continue to work with the dogs - it's only been 2 days- but we know what to do and Curtis' techniques are very effective and cause no harm nor negative reactions from the dogs, rather, they look to you for direction and praise. We will happily call Curtis for any additional issues or corrections.

You can rest assured Curtis will be there whenever you need her. Sometimes a simple phone call is all it takes. She is great with dogs that are nervous and anxious, that I know from experience, and always reassures me that the disobedience is only temporary with the right training. Very encouraging trainer, I 100% recommend to anyone looking for someone to help with their pup!
