Our training with Michael using Bark Buster's methods has been incredible. While the methods are quite unconventional and at times we fully thought Michael was joking when he asked us to do things like growl at our dog, the methods WORK! We have a one year old Australian Shepherd who struggled terribly with anxiety, trust, food aggression, and lots of fear. He was a stray before we adopted him and we had a ton to work through. We tried other training methods and spent thousands, only for those methods to not work. Finding bark busters was our saving grace! Michael taught us how to understand Milo's behavior and meet his needs to allow him to flourish. We have addressed our struggles with Milo and are now able to take him to the beach, hiking, walking around crowded areas such as parks and outdoor shops, etc. Don't let the unconventional methods scare you, they truly work and it is amazing to see how the dogs respond to them!

We love Bark Buster! Of course we also love our personal trainer Michael Hagan. He is very prompt with replies to our problems and has been spot on with our Lab mix, Buddy. Our big baby has a lot of problem and is a very anxious dog, I hate to use the word "reactive" because it is so over used. We had problems with aggression towards other dogs. Pulling on the leash and going after other dogs off leash that approached him ... very scary. Michael showed us some specific leash controls to start with Buddy and we had great success. When we moved we had a complaint from our neighbors of barking. Our first response was not our baby but after buying a camera we saw that we had a problem and again Michael had great insight and came through with a regimen for separation anxiety. Which I am happy to say has worked and we now have happy neighbors and a happier Buddy. We did opt for the gold membership and we are glad we did as we have had to call a few times for a short consult via phone and it has worked perfectly for us. Michael is very knowledgeable, kind and supportive. He has great insight in dog behavior and is quick with a response to solve our behavior issues with Buddy.

We love bringing our babies here for boarding! Our babies…read moreSalem and otter have stayed for boarding and just to play. Both times were great as we can see what those two are up to thanks to the cameras! The communication is great with staff too and they are very welcoming. I highly recommended beach dog fun for your babies.

My family and I were looking into dog boarding over Labor Day weekend, and found this place on…read moregoogle. What interested us in this place was it being specifically for smaller sized dogs, under 40lbs. We took him on a trial visit which he loved, although he was very nervous. After that, about once a week we would take him to regular daycare just so he can get used to being around the employees and the dogs. When we would pick him up, he would be so full of energy and joy. He would mainly stick by the people rather than the dogs, he's just like that. During his stay, he had gotten a minor injury(due to his fault not the daycare), which they called us to let us know of what had happened, what they will be doing (cleaning the wound and making sure he doesn't lick it). If it had escalated, they would provide some medication, but luckily he was perfectly fine and unbothered. They were very informative and caring for the dogs, have a great location, and the people are kind, we are grateful. Although we do not need to take him to daycare or to board him anytime soon, we would definitely return here if we needed to.
