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.

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!

She was very broken, but eventually came out of her shell with some love and training. Unfortunately, she was still aggressive towards other members of my household and would not leave my room when I wasn't home. So, I turned to ABC K9 for help. I had a few sessions with the daughter of the company, who was kind and helpful. The mother on the other hand, I had never met before this incident. This woman comes in, yells at me, telling me I need to purchase another dog. I am so confused, as 1. There was already another dog in the home and 2. Who in their right mind buys another dog when they're having issues with the one they have? She spoke to me like I was sh*t on her shoe. I left crying as the daughter apologized to me profusely for her mother's behavior, swearing she had no idea what was going on. I never heard from these people again, not that I made an effort to reach out. My dog is now just short of perfect. She has since then moved into our first home, seen 13 states, hiked mountains and walks miles with me every day, despite being disabled. No thanks to these people.

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!

Furthermore, I love the daily dog reports that they send to me via email when my dogs are being boarded. It's nice to see that on the occasions when I need to kennel my dogs, that both of my dogs don't seem to mind going to Busters Happy Tails. Awesome dog kennel!! Definitely recommend!!
