After the very first visit, I was astonished and how well my 6-month-old Golden Retriever responded. I went from being frustrated and, honestly, disappointed in myself, to one of hope and excitement for our future. It is some of the best money I've spent. It was an investment that has give me a return of more than I could have ever dreamed of. I know that I have Doug's support throughout Zahra's lifetime and that, to me, is priceless. In my opinion, you will find none better than Doug with Bark Busters. Zahra and I are forever grateful we found him through the recommendation of my nephew, who used Doug for help with his Giant Schnauzer. You will not be disappointed, I can promise you that!

WORTH EVERY PENNY AND ASTONISHINGLY FAST!…read more Doug Rountree with Bark Busters of Louisville is fantastic! In the first hour, he completely changed the way we interact with our dog. Before we began the training, our puppy was lovable but demanding and thought she was in charge of our whole family. Practically 90% of her behavior problems (like mouthing/biting, barking, jumping on people, pulling) are virtually gone in less than a day! The rest are already much improved and I'm sure those will continue to get better as we reinforce our expectations with her. Our home is a much more peaceful, enjoyable place and our pup definitely seems happier and less stressed now that we have set clear, consistent rules in a language that she can understand. I love that it's done without treats or physical correction but instead uses how dogs naturally communicate to change behavior. Thank you Doug!

They give you a decent window of time in the AM and PM to drop off and pick up your pup so it's convenient for everyone. He was a little nervous on his first day but quickly warmed up to his trainer, Dakota. At the end of each week, you go in and are given a lesson going over what your dog has learned. Sit, lay, heel and place are just a few of the commands he learned. Our walks are MUCH calmer and we work on what he learned often. The staff is awesome, the place is clean and all in all I think it was worth the time and $ spent. They also have other programs depending what you're looking for.

I'm posting pictures from video as she's being trained to assist going up & down stairs. It's my opinion that even if you just try basic obedience, a trained owner and dog adds to the wonderful experience of canine ownership! We feel blessed having found Double H and Rich Hardin.

Prior to training she would drag me on walks and didn't know a single command. After just one session with Stephanie she was walking nicely by my side and by the end of training is a well behaved canine citizen. She can sit, down, place, and much more. I feel more confident with my handling of her and it has taken a lot of stress out of my life. I also love that Stephanie works on whatever you and your pup are having specific issues with (food aggression, reactivity, car riding, etc.) and it's not a cookie cutter program for every dog. She comes to you and is flexible in scheduling your weekly sessions! I highly recommend her!

When it comes to pet supplies, even though there are quite a few options in town, PetSmart is the…read moreplace we go. We feed our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and our Sheltie limited ingredient food. PetSmart has a large variety of limited ingredient options, and we switch up once in a while, but stay in the same brand family. I think I counted 4 aisles of dog food at this location, as well a 2 or 3 other aisles of treats and snacks for your favorite four-legged friend. Along with that, they have all of the accessories you'll need for the canine of your choice, including flea/tick treatments, collars & leashes, bedding, booties, and toys. More feline-friendly than canine? They have just about as much stuff for the cats as they do dogs, so basically copy/paste the previous paragraph and add litter and litter boxes. Speaking of cats, they also have an adoption area where you can take home the cat the catches your attention -- or the cat the chooses you -- from any of one- to two-dozen that they have at any time. Frequently on weekends they'll host an adoption event and bring in even more. The options don't end with dogs and cats, supply items for aquariums, birds, lizards.... The staff here has always been helpful, and at one point one of the employees helped solve an issue with one of our dogs that our vet wasn't able to, so don't downplay experience over education. We had our boy at the vet 4 times and his problem persisted. This employee asked a couple of questions, said she thought he had acquired an allergy to chicken and to change up his food. Within three weeks he was all better. A number of PetSmart locations in the area have animal hospitals and day care available, which is a very convenient service if you're traveling or need to get out of town unexpectedly and your regular pet sitter isn't available. Add to that a grooming service and PetSmart is pretty much your one-stop shop for all the things that live in your house that have more then 2 legs...or...um...gills?
