We were amazed at how just a few simple tweaks and a little bit of guidance were all we needed to help our dogs feel more safe and secure in us as owners. I am very pleased at the simple and humane training techniques implemented and how Marc took the time to really explain to us the reasoning behind each technique. Marc was also equipped with different tools to provide customized training for each of my dogs. Thank you so much Bark Busters for restoring peace and comfort in our home!

As a Vet Tech, you would think my dogs would be some of the best behaving dogs, but not true at all. Marc did such an amazing job and I couldn't believe what he was able to accomplish and teach me in only 1hr. 100% recommend.

Thank you Marc for teaching us how to better communicate with Sadie. Before our meeting, we could barely get her to listen to any commands. Thank you again, Patti, James & Sadie

I've been looking for a dog trainer for my dog for quite some time. My main requirement was that it needed to be a trainer that could come to my home and physically be present to help me learn how to train my dog. I was really hesitant to bring BarkBuster on board due to the fact they didn't have a trainer in my area. I'm glad I took a leap of faith and hired Karen to be my dog's trainer. She's been been great and very communicative since day one. I've noticed huge improvements in my dog's behavior since working with Karen and highly recommend BarkBuster to anyone looking for a trainer.

I recently retired my service dog and got a new pup in the hopes of training him to step into the large job Tobo left behind in his retirement. It quickly became clear that I would need help curbing some bad behaviors in Blaidd before any consideration of service dog training could be made. Karen has been an incredible guiding force, through both good times and stressful recovery from surgery. I went through many attempts to find a decent training program and the life long program gives me confidence that should any issues arise, I have a willing and helping hand from BarkBusters. We still have a long way to go but so far its been great.

We have had an excellent experience using BarkBusters with Karen. We were hesitant about a virtual experience, but desperate because my dog was becoming increasingly anxious and aggressive and we didn’t know what else to do. After just a week of using Karen’s techniques and following her advice, we have already seen a huge improvement in both of our dogs. The approach is intuitive, simple, and effective. We are so thankful to Karen for literally saving our dogs life.

We asked alot from Marc and Bark Busters. Mr. Magoo is a great dog and one who we know wants to follow the rules. We just needed to learn how to be good leaders and how to 'speak dog'. We had engaged in basic obedience training with Mr. Magoo, both in person and online, and achieved some successes but still struggled with issues such as barking at and charging the door, maintaining a sit/down position and other issues that we really needed to correct. We couldn't be more pleased with the progress we made with Mr. Magoo in just a few short hours and we are confident that we now have the tools to continue this great journey toward achieving the goal of having a well behaved dog. Thank you Marc! Thank you Bark Busters! We will be happy to recommend you to anyone who needs your help!

I have been working with Karen virtually to help train my puppy and I have been so thrilled with the results. I was a little apprehensive to do virtual sessions, but it ended up being the perfect solution for us. I know that my dog is responding to me instead of Karen and being the one to do the exercises during sessions has allowed me to be a more confident leader with my dog. We saw an almost immediate improvement in our puppy after our first virtual session with Karen. We have been working on jumping on furniture, counter surfing, separation anxiety, etc and have seen huge improvements and success. The leash training exercises have even allowed me to take more peaceful walks with my dog, which is something both me and my dog appreciate. With Karen's guidance and consistency, we cannot believe our puppy is the same dog we took home a few months ago! Thank you, Karen!

We could not believe how fast Maggie understood what Mark was showing her, how wonderful she reacted to him and NOW we have this amazing beautiful little Aussie and it took all of 3 hours .We are very satisfied and in shock how Mark turned our Maggie into such a sweet heart to have as our puppy I would highly recommend Bark Busters to anyone that wants their dog to be well behavedR.O"Neil

We adopted a one year old Bernedoodle rescue who turned out to be riddled with anxiety, and slowly making us regret our decision by just the second week after adopting him. We had immediate problems with barking, biting, and overall anxiety issues, which were starting to affect our mental state as well.Luckily, contacting Marc and Treasure Coast Bark Busters was probably the best decision we made in 2022!!Within the first 10 minutes of our training session our dog was visibly so much more relaxed, and approachable. Thanks to Marc’s guidance on how to actually/effectively communicate with our pup, he has, with just one session, become the lovable goof we had originally fallen in love with and hoped to be bringing home as the newest addition to our family. Our original plans were to not only rescue a dog, but to have a social dog that we could integrate to our lifestyle and bring along on our outings without the fear of him biting those around us, or barking while out at restaurants or the farmers market, etc — Marc made this possible for our family!Definitely will recommend Treasure Coast Bark Busters to all our friends and family in the future!!

I learned more in the first lesson than I ever knew I needed to. I've had dogs all my life but they were just really good dogs and didn't need much training. Or if they did, I didn't know it. I had no idea my sweet Baby was an Alpha dog. She won't be for long!

Our experience with Marc was magical! We started the session with an anxious Bernedoodle, bitting, barking and pulling. Following Marc’s training, our dog’s behavior changed in a matter of minutes!!Marc carefully and patiently explained how we need to communicate with our dog and it has been an absolute blessing. Our doodle is no longer bitting or barking, and we are improving our walks every day.Thank you so much, Marc!

So simple to understand & such fast results! Marc had our dog listening in 15 seconds. He was very personable, helpful, & had answers to every question/concern we had. Definitely would recommend using Bark Busters!!

I'm not very big on leaving reviews unless it is totally deserved. That being said I would highly recommend Marc and the bark busters team to anyone who ask or doesn't lol. As soon as we started we could see results. My two male dogs were at each other's throats. I now have hope we can be a loving healthy family. Thank you so much for everything.

Marc came out last minute and very quickly taught us why our old style of communication wasn't working, and how to communicate in a way our pups could understand and respond to. The change in their behavior was immediate! In just 3 days (with lots of practice) we have noticed a huge difference in their leash reactivity, space claiming, and whining. They heel automatically, with little to no prompting from us (which blows my mind LOL). Stanlee isn't lunging and Josie's anxiety is almost gone! We know it will take time and consistency, but investing in this training was the best thing we could have done for our pups and for us! Can't wait to take them on all of our camping adventures with us! Thanks Marc and Bark Busters for giving us the tools to have the relationship with our dogs that we've always wanted!

Karen has provided me a strong foundation for training my puppy and I've already seen significant progress. I'm happy to have Karen supporting me on this journey towards establishing a strong and healthy relationship with my dog. Thanks Karen!

Karen was fantastic. She is very knowledgeable and patient with our dogsAfter working with our dogs for 3 hours, we couldn't believe the difference in our dogs, especially the barking. We're very confident that with consistency, we will have happier, calmer dogs

My trainer is Karen Deepe and we have been doing our sessions over live video. She has been completely amazing helping me fix my dog issues such as lease pulling, jumping, personal space, and door/people greeting. I have had these issues for a while and with what I have been learning and implementing from this program I have already seen a huge improvement. Do not feel deterred about it being over a video call, it is just as affective as in person training because at the end of the day it’s up to you and your dog(s) to continue the training to get the results you want. I have found a glimmer of success and only time will tell but I am very satisfied and I hope whoever else decides to go through this program is as well.(Here’s some cute pics of my fur babies)

Bark Busters, specifically, Karen came to my home and introduced Jack and I to their training methods. Before the session was over, Jack was treating me like the Alpha Dog, she could count on. Great Job Karen.

We rescued Rico last October. He was off the streets of Miami and in pretty bad shape. Thanks to the kindness of two strangers he was brought to Paws Fur Recovery and Lori Boettger who took great care of him, nursing back to health. It took Rico some time to adjust to being a family member for the first time in his young life. He was obviously intelligent and a playful goofball but as he became more comfortable in our home he started displaying fear aggression and he acted out in negative ways. We tried several training tactics over the last few months but nothing really curbed the reactiveness. As a last resort we contacted Bark Busters Treasure Coast & Boca Raton. As others have commented, the change in behavior was immediate and profound. Marc made it so clear that when you communicate to dogs on their level, which is to say, what is hardwired into their DNA from millennia ago, they almost have no choice but to comply. Truly amazing experience. Highly recommend.

I was very impressed at how efficient and effective Bark Buster's methods of communicating with dogs worked on my two goldendoodle six month pups. My expectations were exceeded. In just one 2 - 3 hour session with trainer Karen I learned how to communicate with my pups in a way that my pups understand. It was like finding the missing key! Better than being "obedient" pups who respond to commands (reactive), Karen taught us how to help teach our pups to be well-behaved pups generally (proactive). Thank you Karen for the empowerment!

Rebecca Harrison

23:35 20 Aug 22

After our first session, I can't tell you how MUCH our dog has CHANGED! And for the BETTER! We met with Karen for our first session and I will be honest, we've tried different training companies and different training methods and some of it worked. A LOT of it didn't. Overall, Karen was thorough and professional. She was also insightful to some of the errors we were making and helped us correct ourselves. We never felt like we were "bad dog parents", we were just learning dog parents. We even enjoy our "homework." Suddenly 20+ minutes a day goes by in no time because of the consistent training we do throughout the day! Hands down a GREAT experience and a GREAT company!

Karen is super helpful and patient. She is available whenever I have questions and has an answer for everything. She understands what my dogs are trying to tell me so I know how to respond. She cares

I had the opportunity to have Karen Deppe come to my home and train my rescue Sammy. What an improvement for my sweet girl. Karen came today again because I could not get Sammy in the car. I tried EVERYTHING! Karen had her in the car in 10 minutes. If you are an animal lover like me, its the best decision I made for Sammy. I highly recommend Bark Busters!! Thanks again Karen

I am so grateful for Bark Busters. I have an incredibly stubborn dog. Karen has shown me how to become the Alfa of the pack and just today I was faced with another stressful situation with my dog and she allowed me to control her. She sat and looked at me until I told her it was ok to move. I would have never achieved this without Karen. Thank you 🙏

It is less than a day since Karen met with me and my 17 week old terrier puppy. I cannot believe the amazing results. For the first time, my puppy relaxed on the sofa with me and didn’t attempt to bite me ONCE. She calmly allowed me to brush her and pet her and play for 20 mins. Today, she also didn’t even lunge for my pants leg, shirttail, or sneaker. I am so pleased because these were such big problems that I never thought could be resolved; and never quickly! Thank you,Bark Busters

We have tried 2 different training methods for our rescue, Black Mouth Cur mix and her leash anxiety was only getting worse. After one session with Bark Busters we are able to walk her without worrying that she will get crazy at the sight of another dog. She is so much more calm and listens to us. I would definitely recommend this training.

Our Cavalier King Charles spaniel is acting remarkably different after just one session with Marc. Mac was really pinning to me and I often had to leave our home by the garage. Yesterday after using the bark busters technique Mac backed off and I was able to leave with him in another room. I was shocked. Would definitely recommend to anyone having issues with their dogs.

I have worked with animals my entire life: horses, cows, goats, dogs, cats, and more, but I was confronted with my general ignorance when Mark came to work with our dogs. His training method is so simple and utilizes the dogs' natural pack instinct. While our dogs were not what anyone would consider "problem" dogs, this method immediately eliminated some basic issues we were having, including irritating non-stop barking at cars passing and strangers, somewhat aggressive treatment of strangers, chicken chasing, and issues with defining personal space. It took Mark longer to describe the training method than it did to correct the behaviors. The order of dominance in the pack (We have four dogs: a Belgian Malinois and three corgi/border collies- all rescues.) with my husband, son and I as alphas was quickly established and has not faltered even a moment in the three weeks since training. Going forward, I feel sure that this method can easily be applied to any future dogs that join the family and I am extremely thankful for a completely non-violent, contact free means of maintaining control over the dogs.

Wow! We can't believe the results Marc got in just one three hour training session! Our sweet but sometimes overly exuberant dog is no longer jumping on visitors, pulling us on our walks or going bonkers when we get in the pool. We have not had to do much to keep her in line— just reinforcing the things he taught us. This was well worth the money!

Karen was awesome! She had Zeus listening and obeying within minutes! After dinner last night, he was right at the dishwasher to do his usual licking and after doing what we were taught he walked away. First visitor to the house this morning and no jumping or nipping! He appears less anxious and more relaxed. I highly recommend Bark Busters. So thankful we signed up!

I am absolutely amazed at the progress we made with my two dogs with a few hours of training. Mark Deppe from Bark Busters came to our home, showed us their training methods — methods without pain or treats! I’ve been through several other training sessions and none of them came close to helping with my pups. We are committed to daily practice with the pups to maintain their progress, however, when Mark left the home we had all the tools needed to continue the training at home. One of my dogs was extremely aggressive which is what prompted my call to Bark Busters. We walked him today without any aggression issues. Finally!!! I highly recommend Mark Deppe and Bark Busters.

It has only been a few short weeks that I have been using the training taught to me by Mark. The results are amazing!! Home and outdoor activities are calmer and more enjoyable, since her behavior is not out of control. She responded quickly to my behaviors, and as a result, it has made an enormous change in her behaviors. Cannot thank you enough!!

Karen from Bark Busters was amazing and I think she truly saved my dog's life. I adopted my dog Little Bear back in October 2021 when he was only 8 months old. He is a pitbull mix who had obviously been abused in his past life. He had some very difficult behaviors such as severe biting and jumping on us. He was very energetic and nervous and would go after my family members to the point my family wanted me to return him to the shelter. When I contact Bark Busters they got me in contact with Karen who was a tremendous help. She was always available even though I live on the West Coast and she is on the East Coast. The virtual sessions were extremely helpful along with all the protocols she would send and she was always available and easy to contact. Now it is February 2022 and Little Bear is a completely different dog. He is secure and feels safe in our home. My parents adore him and I just could not be happier with the results from the training. We are keeping up with the daily training and my family could not imagine sending him back to the shelter. I am so happy with the results and would recommend Karen to anyone who has a dog that displays difficult behaviors. Thank you Karen!

Mark is awesome. He trained us in dog language so we could better act as leaders of our dog pack. Our first session was last night, with amazing results. My wife and I are now serious about getting the right technique and applying it consistently. If you're serious about having a better relationship with your dog pack, take the course, do the work and be a better dog leader. Your dogs will thank you.

We were so surprised how quickly Sunny responded to this way of training. After a few hours Sunny is much less apprehensive outside and can actually walk on a leash without pulling our arms out of socket! We are thankful!

I am completely blown away at the transformation in our Murphy. After only 2 hours Murphy was able to walk on leash and pass other dogs without any aggression or barking. Truly a miracle worker. This is my second day. Murphy follows my lead and has been terrific. No issues at all. He is still the same cute little character we have loved for 6 years only better now because we can take him out knowing that we are in control. Thank you Mark.

We've been using the Bark Buster protocol for just a week. When we first starting researching trainers, we watched the companies testimonials and were a little skeptical. When Marc came to our home for our 3 hour session, the first 20-30 minutes was spent explaining the process and telling us what the key things were that we need to do and do CONSISTENTLY. After that, he/we started to work directly with Gracie. Within minutes, Gracie's behavior changed. We couldn't believe it. By the end of the 3 hours, we new what we needed to do (with back up documentation provided to us) and have been diligent in following all the steps. It's been a game changer. The key to this programs success 110% lies with my husband and I doing exactly what we were taught. And I am confident that if we have questions about any aspect of what we learned, Marc gave us several ways to get in touch with him. If I didn't see the almost immediate change in Gracie for myself, I wouldn't have thought it possible. While Gracie was a great dog and obedient, there were some areas that required immediate assistance. We've got the tools now. The program is worth its weight in gold.

It is almost impossible to believe that my little dog is the same dog he was before working with Marc from Bark Busters on October 14th. In part because of a terrifying experience with another dog, he had become aggressive with other dogs in the neighborhood and sometimes with people. Within a period of three hours, Marc showed Ed, my boyfriend, and me techniques to use to correct those behaviors, resulting in what I can only describe as a miraculous transformation. The techniques do not involve corporal punishment or using treats; they simply show Charlie by our stance and firm commands what we expect. Both we and Charlie learned them and started using them while Marc was here. For about 24 hours, Charlie seemed a little bummed out by the new rules, but that passed very quickly. He no longer displays behavior that displays anxiety, like biting at his paws. He and we are relaxed, and the neighbors are overjoyed. Ed and I are committed to being purposeful and consistent in employing what Marc taught us. I HIGHLY recommend Bark Busters. It is pricey but worth every penny.Kay Hammond

Marc was amazing As soon as he entered the home he had control of my dog.My furry child Had so much anxiety She would bark all the time, loud noise would scare her. She absolutely hates the pool guys, She would run out the door every chance she got not coming when called.I had lost all control.She was a unhappy dog.Then Marc come and saved my dogShe comes to me when I call her She even walks outside but stays by me no leash, When the pool people come there is no barking, Someone comes to the door she barks to let me know and then she's quiet Love that,People can come into my home without her carrying on, thunderstorm she just lays by my side totally content she's has even eaten her food Thanks to mark she is a carefree happy lovable dog Thank you Marc from the bottom of my heart You rock!

Wow, simple yet effective training method, we really did see results on first lesson (huge difference with 2 rottweilers, not easy task) I said simple and I mean simple, you just have to stick with it....I would highly recommend bark busters treasure coast if you are in need of training with our pooch(s)!

Amazing experience with Marc from Bark Busters! He showed up on time, was very professional, relatable, knowledgeable, and most importantly, Easy to talk to. We were somewhat spectacle about the progress they claim they could make, but after not even 5 minutes of starting this program, our jaws hit the floor, we were stunned at the almost instant change in our dog. We are happy to say that we can see a future where not only is our pup going to be happy, but we are going to be happy as well. Thank you again for everything you do!

Marc is AMAZING!!!! I have three big boys, two shepherds and one we are not sure of. They range from 4 years to 13 years old. This last year has had a lot of changes in the house and when my kids moved out our house was no longer a peaceful place. Within the first session I had the tools I needed to be the leader of the pack and I noticed a big difference in the boys. I investigated a lot of different trainers and none of them felt right until I found BARK BUSTERS.THANK you so much Marc and BARK BUSTERS our lives are so much better and I am looking forward to our future.

After a lot of cuts and bruises and pretty much giving up on my dog I contacted Bark Busters. Within three hours Mark showed us how to handle our wonderful Scarlet so she could be part of the family and not the problem. Today a day later she is like a different dog. My mom who is 4 foot seven was even able to come over without her jumping on her and knocking her down. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to Bark Busters so we can keep Scarlet and she will be a wonderful addition to our family. I am eternally grateful.

With our furbaby Dawson we had bark busters come train. He was demanding at playtime and sometimes jumped on people. It was very important to us that he was not touched or traumatized in any way. After the trainer Mark left Dawson has been listening to everything! He is so smart and the funny thing is they taught us how to speak dog and be the alpha and that is all it took. Dawson is still loving as ever. Everyone is happy in our household.

Marc has an amazing sense for dogs and their humans, who he trains. Personable, patient and knowledgeable, my 2 totally uncontrolled dogs are walking on their leashes like well behaved pups. They don't rush the door anymore. I can walk past other people and dogs and it's not a crazed barkfest of insanity. It's only been 3 days and the difference is astonishing. You HAVE to work the program, but it's not hard once Marc teaches you to speak Dog. I highly recommend Marc and Bark Busters to ANYONE looking to get their beloved pets under control and living their best lives in all social settings. I also highly recommend working on your best BAH, you will need it!

CJ Cobb

Hiring Marc was the best decision I have made this year only mistake was not picking up the phone and calling sooner. The 3 hours of training was well worth the money for the information and training guidance he shared with us. My wife and two daughters felt more confident in themselves and being able to get our dog to be the best family dog for US.Lastly Marc bluntness and directness was perfect he took away any doubt we had about our dog and our ability to speak "Dog" so we would enjoy having a dog in our household. If you are in need of getting your dog to be best dog for your house stop looking around and Call Marc from Bark Busters you wont regret it.-CJ "Gunny"

I honestly don’t know what I would have done if Marc hadn’t come to our house to help with our dogs! I have one dog with such severe separation anxiety that I have literally been a prisoner in my own home. After just one session, my pup already has more confidence in being left alone. The improvement with all 3 of my dogs in just mere days is seriously hard to believe. My house isn’t chaotic anymore and I’m actually not embarrassed when I have people knock on my door.I can not thank Marc & Bark Busters enough for the time and knowledge.

Marc is our trainer. He is SO incredibly knowledgeable and was so clear in his instructions on how to work with our dog to create a calmer environment. We are less than one week in and we are already seeing major changes (for the better) in our dog. Excited for this to continue so we can ENJOY our dog and not constantly be chasing her or yelling at her for doing ALL of the wrong things/ruining our house!! HIGHLY recommend Marc!!

My dog has special needs from being abused and requires a great deal of patience and understanding when working with him. I turned to bark busters when my dog began to get leash aggressive towards other dogs and men. Marc came to my home and was wonderful with my dog. Marc took his time with him and was so sweet with him. He also explained a lot to me about why he was acting the way he was. What shocked me the most was after only one session we took my dog for a walk and walked him right up to a man on the trail behind my house and he didn’t bark, didn’t growl, and never lunged at him. I was speechless. Marcs methods work 100%. My dog is not only better behaved but just seems more relaxed on walks now. I would recommend bark busters to anyone.

Marc is an incredible trainer! If you’re looking for a dog/human trainer for any reason, please do yourself and your pup a favor and call him. He is AMAZING!!! He will teach you to lead and manage your dog with simple, yet effective methods. They work, I am telling you, THEY WORK!! I have a 100 lb awesome dog, we are basically the same size, and I can control him during walks and and keep him calm and relaxed thanks to Marc’s teachings. And it was all done rather quickly and with ease. I recommend Marc to any and all dog owners! He’s personable, knowledgeable, confident, professional, kind and loving to our dogs. Your life and your pup’s life will be better for it. Just do it!!! Worth every penny!!! Thank you Marc!!!! Lucas and I love you!!!! ❤️🐾❤️

I have to admit, it feels a little weird at first but it’s the most efficient way I experienced in controlling my dog behavior. I’m impressed! Marc has teached me a lot on the 1 st day and I already see a big difference in my dog! It makes sense and it’s working!

Deborah Morey

20:33 22 Jan 21

Marc is a true godsend. Our dog Ella has some serious issues, mostly wanting to attack anything with 4 legs due to being attacked herself a couple of times. Marc taught us what we were doing wrong in trying to get Ella to not attack and showed us the correct way to change her bad habits. After only 1 visit we can already see a difference in her. Thank you Marc and Bark Busters for all the information and help.Dan and Deb DuBois.

23:22 13 Jan 21

Wow, if could give a higher rating of 5 stars I would. Marc is wonderful. He is very knowledgeable. I was amazed at how well our fur babies reacted. We have a 2 year old lab who has been in training twice before. He is doing so much better in just one day of training. ie barking, walking on a leash, staying put when the door is open, jumping on people Bark Busters and Marc Deppe are the answers to our prayers!

As a dog owner for 50 years I finally learned how to communicate with dogs to get the behavior I desired.I was a psychology minor in college(behaviorist learning) so I had a background in human behavior. BarkBusters in one very intense 3 hour teaching session showed my wife and I how to elicit the behaviors we desired for our 2 dogs.( 1 puppy and one 6 year old.). After less then 1 week we are communicating with our dogs and getting the behavior we desire! We are truly amazed! We have more to lear at our next lesson. All this behavior with NO treats! The dogs still love us but now understand our needs. We highly recommend BarkBusters!

Simply amazing. Didn't think it was possible to control my dog aggressive 80 lb Pitt/ boxer mix. Tough to control? Not anymore!! It worked and it makes sense. Love Marc, dedicated dog lover. I am so glad I called Bark Busters!!!

Though my family & I were not skeptical of what Marc could do with our pup, we certainly were not expecting to see results that day! Learning to speak your dog’s language is life-changing for your dog and the relationship you have with them. We finally feel in control of and understand our dog’s behavior. He’ll love your dog as his own. Very grateful for Marc!

My Coton de Tulear barked so excessively that I was cozened about being able to keep her. In one visit Marc showed us how to all but eliminate the problem. Now she does not make a sound when I take her outdoors to relieve herself.

It was great to learn to speak Dog. It was very encouraging to see how quickly the concepts provide results. We look forward to continued work.

My husband and I are thrilled to have Marc working with us and our sweet rescue dog. Bark Busters philosophy of using methods that don’t hurt or frighten the dogs mirrors our own. Our Gigi was very stressed when Marc arrived. It was a problem with anybody coming to the house, and we hoped her frantic barking could be controlled. Marc showed us the technique Bark Busters uses, and we’ve been practicing every day. A workman came to the house a couple of days ago to finish some work he was doing. When he rang the doorbell, she barked and started for the door. I immediately used the technique we’d been taught and Gigi stopped barking, stopped moving, and laid down. She stayed there while I went to the door and let the worker in. When I invited her closer, she was quiet and respectful approaching him. No reaction, other than friendly. She has never exhibited aggressiveness so we were not worried about her hurting anyone. She was frightened, and that’s how she reacted. We’re excited to have Marc work with us on the other issues we have. I want to emphasize that Marc is amazing with Gigi. After he had spent a short time getting acquainted with her, she was in love with him. I joked that I thought she wanted to trade us in for Marc!

Karen from Bark Busters is helping me to solve issues with my 11-month-old American Field Labrador. We met for 4 hours in the first session and I was quite amazed at the progress in one session. I'm learning how to take back the leadership of the house. She helped me solve problems with barking when the doorbell rings, jumping on people, and my dog surfing the counter-tops for food. My home has been so much more peaceful. I highly recommend Bark Busters and Karen.

I had lost hope that my 2 dogs who really love each so much would have to be separated forever because of sibling rivalry They had a few spars in the past but the last one scared be enough that I cannot leave them alone ever I needed help. I went to the internet and found varkbysterd and also called several vets and they came highly recommended. When I xss as lord I knew it was the right place just from our conversation. I set.an appointment and had one session and we were completely amazed at how easily the dogs responded to the training. For months my boyfriend and I are practically living separate lives because the dogs Xantech be togeather but from what I saw with only one session I am confident things will get back to normal. He is basically training us how to deal with them and take control I am so grateful❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

The improvement in our puppy’s behavior is dramatic. He has stopped nipping at me, jumping on guests, and chewing on forbidden items. He is happier, I am happier. Well worth the cost and we are just getting started. I highly recommend Bark Busters

Marc and the Bark Busters training system really is amazing. I can’t believe how easily it actually works! Like anything you have to take the time to practice but I am seeing virtually immediate results with my 10 week old Goldendoodle. He seems to actually understand what I am telling him thanks to the simple but ingenious method of “speaking” his language. Marc spent quality time with me, my kids and Kiko explaining and showing us the method. He responded quickly to all of my follow up questions & concerns (which are many as I have never had a puppy before, let alone any dog!) This training is worth the cost and is invaluable as I am learning skills to ensure a lifetime positive relationship with my puppy. Thanks Marc! Thanks Bark Busters! You have taken out the guess work from puppy training.

Marc has been extremely helpful and resourceful with our puppy training. We have no regrets for calling Bark Busters and encourage others to do the same! We are brand new puppy parents so we had no clue what to do at times but Marc has helped us through the process along the way!

We have a one years old boxer named Walter and he has the sweetest temperament, but has some behavioral issues. He is over protective of me so is pinned to me wherever I go and has separation anxiety when I leave the house, which results in massive destruction. (ie. remote controls chewed, dog beds destroyed, anything left on the counter chewed). When someone came to the door he rushed to it and jumped on the door. Anytime I was cooking, his paws were on the counter, looking for what he could get and finally when he wanted to play he would nip at my ankles and jump all over me. When Marc came over and we went through each problem area one by one, I was amazed at how simple the techniques are that they use and how quickly they work. I used Marc's training technique with the door and Walter didn't come near it. He learned that in under 1 minute without treats or a command word. I learned how to claim the kitchen and my own personal space in under 5 mins. Marc is so in tune with how to communicate with dogs and now I know how to communicate better with Walter. I am so happy I contacted Bark Busters and if you are having any issues with your dog and want quick and effective resolution, this is the place for you.

I am a vet tech in vero beach. We had Marc come out and do a lunch and learn with us which really caught my attention. Then the Veternarian I work for Gave them a try and had only wonderful great things to say. So I figured to give them a shot since my dogs were having some serious misbehaving issues. Marc was very thorough and took his time to help teach me everything! We covered all of our problems (nipping, door manners, claiming person space, leash walking and more) I am more than impressed with Bark Busters! For a long while I was becoming discouraged because my young aussie wasn’t listening no matter what I did. Even after the first visit I could see improvement in both of my dogs! I would definitely recommend Bark Busters to anyone I know with a dog! They’re wonderful people and honestly amazing at what they do.

Amazing service! Extremely friendly trainer! Let's be honest, I was very skeptical when I heard how they planned on changing my Pug, Frank's bad behavior without touching him, no treats, and no shock collars. I was floored when the trainer began his lessons, and I was totally sold, within the first 5 minutes of him showing his technique. It works! It's worth every dime that is invested into this training. Very satisfied customer!

I cannot say enough about my experience with Bark Buster's. I worked directly with Marc, and appreciated the basic principles taught to me so as to improve the relationships in our "pack!" My dog responded immediately and is making fine progress and so am I as a pack leader now. I look forward to bonding more each day with my dog and trust that Bark Buster's is there for me anytime we need them! Thank you Marc!

I have always been a dog owner but never before did I have a pup that would bite. My adorable bernadoodle was wonderful at the dog park but a terror at home. He bit me, my son, the groomer, and even a potential beau..... twice!So instead of throwing him out of the car.... ( just kidding!) I decided to look up aggressive dog training on line.I saw a video of a miraculous change, in one afternoon and I was intrigued. I called the number and hooked up with Marc. He regaled me with story after unbelievable story and I was hooked.So here I am to say it is all true! I had already tried a regular trainer who asked to board and train, who had my dog for a week! I'd already gone to obedience training where treats were dispensed so frequently I thought we'd end up with a an eating disorder.Here are the behaviors that are now90% gone. ( hey it's only day 1 )begging at the table, charging at the door, pulling on the leash, climbing into the front seat of the car, not letting me brush him, and basically being a constant nudge.Instead I have a calm happy dog that I can walk and run with,He knows I'm the Alpha and I don't have to do anything more than speak in a gutteral tone and sometimes spray water at him.Absolutely amazing experience and clear follow up instructions with a promise to provide followy up even my home state.

Very hesitant about paying so much money to have a few corrections made but after watching Mark work and also working with us to understand the process we realized that there was no way we could have done this alone. The system is easy and the result are immediate.

Marc did an amazing job with Leonardo on our first visit. The main thing I needed worked on was his barking at the door as I live in a senior condominium yet Leonardo took to Marc immediately that we had to induce barking while Marc remained outside and knocked on the windows and yet still no barking. It was not until the knock on the door and the attempted entry when Leonardo finally started to bark which was immediately stopped by using the techniques Marc had worked on with me.In addition he no longer jumps on me while I am at the computer and stays outside the areas I am in unless invited in as Marc showed me.I still need a lot of work on me but Leonardo and Marc were wonderful.I would recommend him to anyone.Susan R.

Our baby Beagle is so sweet but lacked so many social skills. We would never hurt her and didn't want to use a cruel shock collar. We tried scolding and/or banging a newspaper or magazine on the table. We tried a louder and a softer "No" to no avail! She seemed to have a mind of her own. We knew her love of people and other animals (Her jumping) was not always well received. Even worse, she might run out of the door despite our calling her and be injured or killed by a passing car. She chewed everything and was always underfoot in the kitchen, we couldn't eat a meal without her trying to steal it. We felt so confused and finally realized the real culprit was our lack of knowing what to do to get through to her. We called Marc at Bark Busters and explained our dilemma. We were shocked to see how our baby girl stopped all that bad behavior during a 3.5 hour visit with Marc. Now, well armed with knowledge, the rest is up to us to practice a mere 10 minutes every day! Our puppy has really learned a lot and our frustration level has lowered dramatically. We look forward to our next visit in two weeks. Marc is a true animal lover and nothing he does is mean or cruel, in fact much of his visit was spent praising, petting and kissing our 7 month old puppy. Marc and Bark Busters are worth every penny and their guarantee is for life should any new problems arise in the future.

My dog Ava had a lot of behavior issues. Even after a 3 week board and train program, I was still at my wits end with her behavior. When Marc described the difference between an obedient dog and a well behaved dog, it perfectly explained the issues I was still having with Ava. With in one session a saw a complete difference in the way my dog responded me. She stopped charging the door, jumping on guests, picking up everything in her mouth she was not supposed to, and the goes on. Essentially she went from having zero boundaries to completely respecting any boundary I put in place. I would highly recommend Bark Busters to anyone who is struggling with their dogs behavior. I wish I had found them sooner.

Contacted Bark Busters and within an hour had a response. Mark the trainer came and spent 3 glorious hours with us. Sawyer, our 6 months old Samoyed went from a wild “I’m Alpha” dog to a well mannered loving puppy that very night. Walks are enjoyable now...I’m not getting mouthed nor barked at nor pulled. Wish I had known about this method of training sooner.Worth every penny!

After adopting a bonded pair of 2 year old boxers (previously trained by Bark Busters) we found we needed to learn their language so they would respond to commands. We have ten grandchildren, and these are big pups who are full of energy. We had to gain control of their behavior before someone was accidentally hurt. Karen Deppe came to our home, explained the Bark Busters training methods, and provided tools for us to use. We put her suggestions to use immediately and the results were dramatic. The dogs come when they're called, they sit when they are told, they are playing with their own toys and not our shoes... Amazing. We still have to work with them every day, but this investment of time pays big dividends. I whole heartedly recommend Bark Busters and Karen Deppe.

Truly transformational! It was amazing to see what Marc could accomplish in just 3-hours. He taught me how to be the "Alpha dog" so Ollie doesn't think he needs to do it - i.e. no aggressive barking when friends come over. The leash training is still a challenge - we continue to practice each day. It's a long road, but I think we'll get there. Thanks so much!

A couple of months ago I had the privilege of working with Marc from Bark Busters. With the short amount of time that he worked with my golden retriever, Rhett, I saw a tremendous difference in Rhett’s attitude and behavior inside & outside that I didn’t think was possible! The techniques that Marc used with Rhett are very unique and by the end of the 2.5 hours Rhett was a completely different dog! Can’t thank Marc enough for the training and I will be working with the company more in the future!

Marc from Bark Busters is a very good teacher and personality. We learned key strategies in a very short amount of time. It was surprising how simple the concepts were and how quickly the dog responded to Marc as soon as he arrived at our home. We think Marc is terrific and would refer others to him.

Lisa Flynn

I was very skeptical about getting a dog trainer, but Marc exceeded our expectations of what would happen in just one session. Immediate improvement in both my dogs behavior and easy to follow training instructions. We are extremely satisfied and look forward to continue to working with our dogs to have well behaved and happier dogs. The pups are much less anxious as anxiety was a huge problem with our two smaller breed dogs and Marc worked with us to explain how dogs think and behave. Would definitely recommend! I feel like I learned so much!

Sherry Millar

15:33 16 Aug 19

Amazing experience! We worked with Marc and just can't say enough positive things about our experience. Marc is very knowledgable and helpful and has a way of making learning a positive experience both for us and our two dogs. From the minute Marc entered the house he had the respect of our dogs and helped us to do the same and achieve the results we were looking for with multiple issues including barking at everyone who came to our home. We are so very pleased with our results and would highly recommend Marc and Barkbusters!

Chloe Wilkins

Wonderful business. Mark (our trainer) is a patient and excellent teacher. Even a year after our initial meeting when we were still having issues with our 115lb great Dane, he came on his day off to help us with a new method to prevent pulling. Always friendly and absolutely willing to help, very honest, and absolutely loves our dog (she loves him too)! Would definitely recommend Bark Buster's.

Lisa Villeneuve

14:05 08 Aug 19

Mark and Karen are very professional and really know how to help you. We have three dogs and they taught and showed us the true simplicity of being a pack leader without making training hard. Looking forward to continuing the exercises we were given to see how far our dogs come in a couple months, because just in the first few hours there was a noticeable change. So happy we went with bark busters and would definitely recommend to a friend!

Second Review...because they are that good! We recently moved and 1 of our girls regressed a bit as she was the problem child to begin with. Marc immediately answered, worked through multiple options and came to our new home to make sure she was progressing. It seems as though Marc has seen it all when it comes to bad doggie behavior and he always has an answer for us. Since our last visit, Bailey is back on track and making leaps and bounds. As with all things, repetition is key and as long as you follow Marc's guidance, keep to the training, and give your dogs the time they need, you will not be disappointed! Would highly recommend!

We adopted a one year old Bernedoodle rescue who turned out to be riddled with anxiety, and slowly making us regret our decision by just the second week after adopting him. We had immediate problems with barking, biting, and overall anxiety issues, which were starting to affect our mental state as well.
Luckily, contacting Marc and Treasure Coast Bark Busters was probably the best decision we made in 2022!!
Within the first 10 minutes of our training session our dog was visibly so much more relaxed, and approachable. Thanks to Marc’s guidance on how to actually/effectively communicate with our pup, he has, with just one session, become the lovable goof we had originally fallen in love with and hoped to be bringing home as the newest addition to our family. Our original plans were to not only rescue a dog, but to have a social dog that we could integrate to our lifestyle and bring along on our outings without the fear of him biting those around us, or barking while out at restaurants or the farmers market, etc — Marc made this possible for our family!
Definitely will recommend Treasure Coast Bark Busters to all our friends and family in the future!!

My wife and I are floored and ecstatic. Marc came to our house and helped us work with our 2 rottweilers,one of which has aggression issues. In a simple effective manner Marc taught us methods to change our dog's behaviors. We saw a change right in front of our eyes and I was skeptical because I have been to many trainers. Not only did we see a dramatic change in behavior in the first session the dog's continued the next day so WE were able to easily produce the same results! For us this is life changing stuff.We still have daily work to do but it's really simple to follow. if you are serious about training your dog I highly recommend treasure coast barkbusters!This is the real thing results and method!

Wonderful experience with Marc and our two dogs. I saw immediate improvement in their ability to listen and respect us as the Alphas of the house. The training methods are easy to follow and we are actually enjoying implementing them into our lives. Anxiety was a huge problem with both our dogs and after just one session they seemed much more relaxed and content. I would definitely recommend to any dog owner looking to have well mannered and happier dogs. I’m looking forward to working with them on leash manners and actually being able to take the dogs on walks without being dragged along and worrying about them barking and running after anything they see. Couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Four goldens, ages 1-7, the oldest was rescued because his owners couldn’t ‘handle’ him ... needless to say, I was a skeptic. After one session with Marc and Karen, I am back in control of my home. The goldens responded as if they had been waiting their whole lives to understand me. It’s been only 2 days and these guys are so obedient now!! No more pushing, pulling, yelling or crying! I’m posting two pictures... one of my laundry room that I ‘claimed’ ... you will see two goldens calmly waiting behind my invisible line for me to finish my work. The other is of my kitchen that I also ‘claimed’ ... when I opened the trash drawer, the old golden moved in, so I claimed that as well! I couldn’t be happier! Can’t wait for our next lesson when we get to go outside!

OMG I never in a million years thought I was going to be able to train my dog, thinking he was already 4 years old and extremely misbehaved I had little to no hope. I read a lot of reviews about Bark Busters... a lot!!! For days!!! and finally decided to give them a try... it is money back guaranteed if you don’t see it working for you on your first 3 hour visit... so why not... right? I first met with Karen, for a 3 hour initial visit that went very well, still a little skeptical i did feel it could possibly work and just decided to apply all the lessons learned and follow instructions given by Karen. If you don’t do this repeatedly with your dog it will never work! Is like everything... practice makes perfect! A few months after I started noticing my dog’s behavior was improving... little by little but I kept practicing with him and teaching him that I am the alpha in the house (and not him)! A few months after I moved to a new house with my boyfriend so I called Bark Busters again to come meet us both with my dog Bruno at the new place, this time Mark came down to see us. It’s been about a year after the first training and every single person that knew my crazy dog says he is a totally different dog now, he obeys now!!!! I open the door of my house and he doesn’t go running out which was my biggest fear before because one time i almost lost him!! I open the door now and he stays right next to me, he listens and follows instructions... Crazy!!! This investment was worth every penny!! Totally recommend Mark and Karen, they know what they are doing... and trust me... everyone that couldn’t stand my dog before... loves him now!!! Shocking!!! Thank you Karen and Mark!!

Karen and Mark are wonderful. They opened a new world of communication between us and our precious Dasher, our one year old Boston Terrier. Dasher became very challenging at seven months old, not listening to us and we were at our wits end. We contacted Karen and Mark and they taught and guided us to connect with Dasher using Bark Busters’ methods and now there is peace in our home. Dasher is still a puppy and full of puppy antics but he knows what is expected of him. The change in him is a miracle! Thank you to Karen and Mark!!

Maizy is a 16 month goldendoodle & Bentley is a 9 week Bernedoodle! Bentley will eventually be trained to be my daughter's emotional support dog, but first we have to get Maizy under control, so Bentley will start off on the right path!

Marc & Karen came into our home with such a positive & warm energy. What they were able to teach us in just a few hours will change our world forever! Marc was amazing with both dogs & has patience of Job! :) We have been doing our homework with both dogs on a daily basis & we all can tell a huge improvement, esp., with Maizy! Bentley is still such a puppy, but he is doing great with the behavior techniques!

We HIGHLY recommend Bark Busters!! I have even had small questions & Marc takes the time to text or call to help me through a situation.

We can't thank you, both, enough for your time & love you have for what you do! Our family is forever grateful!

You would be proud I have the voice down now. Lol

Gotta see this. Check out Bark Busters for specialized dog training. It is truly like a dog whisperer thing. AMAZING. It works instantly depending on the dog's mannerisms. We are trained immediately to be the leader of the dog.

They are in many countries. They started years ago in Australia. They are just about everywhere in this country.

Gotta problem? So worth the experience. It is practiced every day for the rest of the dogs life. Essential. If biting is one problem, this is the way to go.

If you are in Southeast FL, let me know here, and I will give you the telephone number of an advanced trainer. Call this husband and wife team, and you will be given the understanding of this practice over the telephone.

Again, you must witness this.

Bark Busters is AMAZING!!! They came out today to give our dog Murphy (German Shorthaired Pointer) and me a refresher course! We both needed a little tune up - and in less than an hour Murphy was a new dog! Back to the well-behaved pup he used to be! Thank you so much. We are ALL so much happier. I HIGHLY recommend Bark Busters to all dog owners! ��

Marc with Bark Busters and his program was amazing with our dog Niko!! Niko has always been a sweet dog but has had numerous behavior problems with recognizing us as the leaders of the house. Especially when it came to disciplining him when he was bad and he would just growl at us and snap his teeth in defiance.

After a few hours with Marc, Niko instantly improved on being walked with a leash and not walking ahead, also being called to sit next to me and not move. These exercises and more condition the dog to recognize our alpha position over him. What’s more, last night he jumped on the couch after he had a bath and laid on there (full knowing that was bad) and I got on his case and disciplined him like I usually do. But this time....NO growing back or snapping his teeth! We didn’t even train that part with him but he KNEW where his place was and he just sat there and listened. My wife and I couldn’t believe it!

Marc and his program has worked beyond ourexpectation and know he will be able to further train him in other areas using this system. And we know we can rely on Marc coming over to help us again if we ever need the help. Very much worth the money! Thank you again!!

I can't tell you how grateful we are that Marc came into our home and taught us how to communicate with our dogs, especially our oldest one Bear. Bear used to jump, charge the door, bark at guests, etc. Now that we can communicate he's almost an entirely different dog. It's definitely worth the time and the money to have complaint fur babies and a quite and happy home.

We have 2 nightmare puppies, German Shepherd mixed with Belgian Malinois brother and sister. They ran our home before Bark Busters arrived! In just hours, we regained control of our home and learned how to communicate with our monsters. 100% worth the time and money!

My husband and I just finished our Bark Busters training session with Marc and Karen for our two puppies Roxy and Remy, and we are BEYOND AMAZED. Before this, our puppies literally ran our house and everything we did was a battle with them. From non-stop barking in the crate, to barking while outside of the crate, to charging at the front door and jumping all over people, jumping on doors, digging, fighting, being wild in the house, and the list goes on and on. We couldn’t even watch TV without yelling at them every few seconds. Marc and Karen were patient and did an incredible job in teaching us to “speak dog” and properly communicate with our dogs so that they know WE are the leaders, and so that they understand and comply with what we want. Within the few hours they were here, my husband and I see a MIRACULOUS difference in our dogs. It’s seriously life-changing and I have no words. I’m so excited about what we learned and to continue reinforcing everything so that we maintain a peaceful home with amazing dogs!!!! Thank you! To anyone that is skeptical about Bark Busters, I was there too. But now that I have experienced it, I will vouch for them any day and it was worth every dollar!!! Don’t look anywhere else.

The Deppes are the dog whisperer of the Treasure Coast !!
They gave me the dos and dont's of walking myself and

If your dog is giving you love while destroying your piece of mind, look no further. These people are the best you will see for the money
