My dog, Siggy, a highly anxious dog, did not obey my commands. She pulled at her leash, barked at strangers, and was terrified of nearly everything. Trying a treat-based approach did not work for me. Michael showed me that a bit of leadership and guidance is what Siggy really needed. He gave me a few exercises to try out and within minutes, Siggy responded positively. She now miraculously walks without pulling at the leash. She is gaining more confidence, and I truly believe that with more patience and training, she can overcome her anxiety. Walking her is now a pleasure for both of us. What a difference that makes! I cannot recommend Michael enough. Let him work his magic with your dog and you'll be amazed at the difference.

Joe turned my dog from a little menace into a little model citizen. My dog is inching closer and…read morecloser to my idea of the perfect pet, and I have common sense and JR to thank for it. His methods aren't rocket science, they are consistency and hard work. He's been at this for 30+ years and it shows. He came highly recommended from the well-regarded rescue where I got my dog, and so far I've got nothing but good things to say about the results I've seen. Don't bother with ignorant comments about dog abuse here - whatever corrections he performs on the dogs are far less intense than what they do to themselves in the wild. It's impossible to imagine how many dog's lives he's saved so far, but I imagine it's more than a few.

He should be stopped! He makes you pay full price in advance because he knows most people will quit after a couple of lessons. Which is exactly what I did.

I beg of you, do not take your animal to him.

I was skeptical about hiring bark busters because of the negative review below, but after inquiring…read moremore, I realized this was the rare (only) bad review I could find! Graham from Bark Busters came over and spent 4 hours at our appartement. During this time, he went over everything possible, starting from the origins of dogs, to the food they should actually eat, to the vet they should see, to actually correcting many bad habits our dog had. He was extremely patient and answered ALL of my questions thoroughly, in no hurry whatsoever. Yes we used the pucks and yes we used the growling sounds, but boy did those things work! We also practised how to properly walk our dog, which involved no growling or pucks! It came out to about $700, which includes a lifetime guarantee. If a bad habit comes back - so does the trainer. If you move somewhere else and your dog barks at the new doorbell - the trainer comes back. If you move to a new city/province/country and need help with new behaviours - the trainer comes back. Given the amount of knowledge Graham has and how transparent he is in his recommendations, I considered the price a nice bargain! I would not hesitate to recommend Graham from Bark Busters to anybody that has any issues with their dogs at all. In fact, I would recommend him even to people who don't have any issues with there dogs! There are so many misconceptions about dogs in the food and vet industry, it's great to hear an unbiased opinion on them. Thank you Graham, and we'll see you soon!

If you love your dog and you care about its wellbeing, please take the time to read this review…read more Last year, we decided to give Barkbuster a try because we were at our wits end with our dog and this company had great reviews and seemed promising. We contacted Graham who assured us that there would be no use of physical force on the dog (i.e. prong collars, choke collars, etc.) and we felt confident he could help us. What he failed to mention is that his method uses dominance and negative reinforcement to get a result. (i.e throwing a puck towards your dog and growling at it multiple times until you ''break'' the bad habit) While I am sure that this method can work on some dogs, I really do not recommend it on any dog who already suffers from anxiety and is insecure. After just one session with Barkbuster, our dog went from having small insecurities to full out recoiling, hiding from us and even growling at us. For the first time since adopting her, I was afraid she might snap at or even bite us. It took some time before she became her loving self again. Although I appreciated Graham's approach on nutrition and crating, I urge you to take the time to research properly what kind of training/trainer is best suited for you and especially for your dog

There is even a dog groomer in the back! Covid wise, they have a hand sanitizer on the window sill so if you blink you might miss it. Apart from that, because of its spacious floor plan, it never feels too claustrophobic even though there's a number of people there coming in and out for dog grooming services. The shop keepers were really nice and let Kimchi try a new perch! This was great because we were in the market for a new perch. It was pretty affordable, and they gave us a brand new one in a box even though Kimchi had tried it. They were also so nice to Kimchi in general and had a lot of questions for us about having an adventure cat. She was even allowed to walk a little bit in the shop, but we quickly put her back inside her backpack when we saw a dog come inside.
