Dog training in Cape Coral seemed easy to find. With so many "options" or call centers really, Eric…read morewas the only real live human that actually is the owner that answered the phone on my search. He is amazing. My little Frenchie needed a lot of help if he wanted to continue to be invited to Grandmas house. Since Eric started working with Piggy and training me, the change has been remarkable. Eric utilises positive reinforcement and is extremely fun to work with. The change in just two visits has been remarkable. On the third visit Piggy has learned to sit, stay, and come. This is remarkable considering how rambunctious my little guy was. My love and relationship with my pup has increased 10 fold. This is all due to Eric at Elite. He also has a website speakingdog101.com. He really teaches you how to speak to your dog. Look no further for a trainer. He is also a great value. Athens quotes were insane. Eric is the best! You won't be disappointed!

In just 3 visits my little grand dog has become so much easier to interact with! He no longer attacks brooms and vacuums, he has stopped urinating in my house and he has gone from being extremely food aggressive to sitting like a gentleman. Thank you, Eric!

There aren't enough words for how AMAZING this facility is and has been for us!!! We welcomed a new…read morebaby in December. To prepare for this we brought our 3 dogs to be trained in November. When we got them back they went from completely untrained to trained in every way! Door manners, in the car, on the leash, and other basic commands, you name it! They were crazy about food and now they will sit in front of food and wait to eat it when they are told. It's amazing! We then brought them back for a tune up when our son was born. It was awesome knowing they were with people who knew them and loved them. Our dog Charlie ran and jumped in the lake immediately! Happy as can be. A huge shoutout to Derrick! When our son was born 4 weeks early he went out of his way to pick our dogs up when we were stuck at the hospital. He truly loves the dogs and cares about the families. You can tell this is his passion and it shows through his work! Lastly, Anthony has been fantastic to work with throughout too! Due to him and Derrick we will continue bringing our dogs back here when we need boarding knowing they are in the BEST hands. If you're looking for a great training facility with the best people, look no further. You found them!

Life-Changing Dog Training--Seriously!…read more I waited a full month before writing this review because I wanted to be sure the changes we saw weren't just a fluke. Now, I can confidently say: Patrick and the Bark Busters program are nothing short of incredible. If you read nothing else--just know this: Patrick is the real deal. From the moment he stepped into our home, everything started to shift. He gave us tools, guidance, and insight that immediately began to transform our household. And here's the critical takeaway: Patrick will show you the way--but you have to do the work. There's no shortcut, no magic wand. The key is consistency. You'll be amazed at what you and your dog can accomplish with daily, intentional effort. If you're struggling--whether your dog is a puppy or a seasoned adult--pick up the phone and call Patrick. We have two Labrador Retrievers: one is 3 years old, the other just 8 months. We thought our older dog was well-behaved because he was calm... until we learned what calm really means. Meanwhile, our puppy was an adorable whirlwind--jumping, barking at the door, and definitely not ready to meet his older sibling. We knew we needed help, and fast. Enter Patrick. In just minutes, he had us "speaking dog." No gimmicks, no harsh discipline--just firm, clear leadership. Our puppy's behavior began to shift before our eyes. By the end of that first session, we were stunned. We felt more confident. The house felt calmer. The dogs were listening. Now, don't get me wrong--this isn't passive training. There's homework, every single day. In fact, every interaction becomes part of the training. But it's worth it. The results speak for themselves. And Patrick is always just a call or text away for support, clarification, or encouragement. One month in, and we have a completely different experience with our dogs. The puppy and the older dog are now peacefully coexisting--playing, lounging, and even responding calmly to the doorbell. We've established boundaries, learned to lead with confidence, and--maybe most surprisingly--realized our older dog wasn't quite the angel we thought. (Thanks, Patrick, for gently pointing that out in your follow-up visit!) Our new mission: bulletproof recall and calm, confident behavior in public. And thanks to Patrick, we're well on our way. If you're thinking about reaching out--stop thinking and just do it. Bark Busters and Patrick have given us tools that truly work, and a better relationship with our dogs. Whatever challenge you're facing, I honestly believe they can help.

Stay away from this dog training company! I contacted Bark Busters and set up an initial visit…read more This cost $300 whether or not you decide to use their service. I was scheduled with Patrick at the end of June. Due to their schedule I had to book it a month later. Well, Patrick came to my home. He is a very nice man, who thought he was the end all to training. Okay, I listened, he started out with the owner has to be the alpha dog. He actually said that dogs do not understand when we speak to them all they understand is "BARK". He claims that's how the converse with other dogs and this how we need to converse with them. I disagreed. I could believe this man and how he became a trainer. Anyone who has a dog knows they understand us. Patrick stated all I have to do was say "BARK at a normal voice and if they do not listen to say "BARK!!!" using a deep, strong, loud voice. I continued to disagree with him. Patrick stated we should part ways. I believe I should get my fee of $300 back. Especially since he would not offer their services. Patrick offered to send me some videos to help me with corrective training. I never received them. Oh by the way, Patrick stated he is the number one dog trainer in the area. He has a website don't remember the site but just put in search engine Patrick Dog Busters. I am amazed that this company is still in business and anyone would use them. Hoping they return will my deposit due to how ridiculous the initial visit, what a joke.

We went into Petsmart to get to Banfield Vet to take our cat for a periodic checkup. Banfield was…read moregreat as always, and asked us to walk around the store while we wait for our cat to be treated. Then we encountered someone who told us that they were closed, and were trying to stock shelves, and need to go sit on the benches at the back of the store near Banfield. My wife explained, but she was having none of it. She asked us again to go sit down. I couldn't believe my ears. We were not even remotely close to being in their way and were about 50 feet away from her. A real control freak. Why would Banfield ask us to shop around the store, only to be told to go sit down at the back by an overzealous Karen employee of the store? They need to fix this, as it will happen over and over. Not going back to shop ever again at Petsmart no matter what.

You deserve a review with admiration and respect and I will try my best…read more My terminal husband at 43 was gifted a Cane Corso pup a year before he died. (I often joke she was a shitty gift for a dying man). He was oxygen dependent and on chemotherapy. He spent one afternoon with you. He went for a meet and greet lesson and came home with nearly 4 empty bottles of oxygen he was there so long. He also came home with the tools to make Groot a good citizen who can play catch from a chair in a small room, who can walk on a leash without knocking over an oxygen bottle on 2 tiny wheels and who's shoulders will literally permit a man to rise from sitting while using the dog for stability. All before her 1st birthday and his death. I will never know all that was discussed that afternoon, whatever it was it was far more valuable than the $40 given. Groot is my constant companion and last link to my best friend gone too soon. Jay liked you all very much,and that is a lot as he didn't like many.
