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

Yesterday I had Marc from Bark Busters come to our home to begin training our 3 dogs - a 4 year old Plott Hound Lab Mix, a 13 year old Basset Hound Cockerspaniel Mix, and a 2 year old Puerto Rican Street Dog (Mutt) - whom we just adopted at the end of May. Although 2 of them were great - they were not trained the way they should have been and then bringing a 3rd into the mix who came off the streets we really needed help. The proper training techniques that Marc gave us during just the 1st visit really make me feel this will work. Last night was our first time testing out new boundries, etc. and this morning it was still working. Also, walking them (1 at a time) was wonderful - zero pulling on the leash and when I did a specific command as the bicycle rider went by - my dog just sat and watched - that was amazing. I know this will take time - realistically and a lot of repitition but I know it will be worth it! Thank you Bark Busters - can't wait to show you the results next time we see eachother.

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

I am BEYOND pleased with my service thus far with this company! I met Marc for my first session and I will say I was excited and nervous at the same time because my dog has gone through so many different trainers and none of their techniques work except for Bark Busters! I immediately saw a big difference in my dog's behavior! I am so happy that my trainer Marc gave me useful techniques that I needed for my dog. I learned that I have to be more patient, calmer and be a badass boss (thats what Marc would say! lol) for my dog to feel safe and secure under my care. I am confident to apply the skills I learn from the first session and will continue to apply these skills for the rest of my dog's life. My dog has an alpha to follow all thanks to Marc!! Thank you!!

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.

Did an incredible job with my doodle. You can immediately notice a difference in behavior. Highly recommended if you need a trainer on the treasure coast.

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.

unbelievable the change in my rescue pup that Marc achieved in 1 visit of a few hours. Oreo is already so responsive and Marc did a great job of training me also. Highly recommend.

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!

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.

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!

Karen from Bark Busters was very professional, as well as very caring about our new puppy Abbie.She is very knowledgeable about all breeds and helped us begin to help our rough collie begin her understanding to listen to us.Karen showed us the correct way to adapt to a new puppy and do the correct things.We would be happy to reccomend Bark Busters to any pet family with any issue they need assistance with thier dog at any age.Cynthia

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!!!

Lily Warner

23:39 20 Dec 20

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.

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.

We recently contacted Bark Busters to help us solve a problem with our 5 year old toy Australian Shepherd. She is very sweet and well trained until someone comes to the door. She instantly becomes super aggressive and will "herd" our guests nipping at their heels and sometimes their hands. She also has begun growling to signal when she wants to be left alone. All of these behaviors are not acceptable and we were concerned that they seem to be escalating. We were worried that she might bite someone. Although we've been able to train her easily we've had no luck with this door and guest behavior. In addition, she is terrified of loud noises and shakes like a leaf in the car (even though she loves to ride in the car). We took her to a behavioral veterinarian who gave us medication for anxiety (which only made it worse) and had us crate her anytime we had guests. That works at home but doesn't work when not at home and the aggressive behaviors were beginning to happen outside our home.Marc met with us within days of our initial call and spent about 3 hours training us on their philosophy and methods. He taught us about how important is it is for Piper to see us as the leader of the pack so she can be calm and feel safe. The changes we saw in her behavior were immediate. We've been following through on the training instructions for 2 days. Here are just the early results:1) We've taken Piper on long walks. She walks calmly next to me with little to no correction needed. No pulling or sniffing, just walking until we give her a sniff break.2) Took her on the beach today off leash to let her run. She'd run like the wind but come immediately when called.3) Had a 2 hour lunch with friends and she laid quietly by my side without any pulling or whining. That's never happened before.4) She loves to go in the car but trembles and pants. We were on the go for hours today (market, beach, restaurant) so she was in and out of the car many times. Each time I put her in the back seat, she laid calmly and quietly. Never once tried to get into the front seat (that's a first).5) No visitors yet but the training exercises are going well. One loud "bah" stops her in her tracks when we ring the doorbell. Feel confident that she will respond well.Based on these first 2 days and how Piper is responding exactly as Marc predicted, we highly recommend Marc and Bark Busters' methods.

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.

Definitely worth the investment. I cannot believe how simple the methods were, and how quickly and effectively it made my dog feel happier, safer, and calmer. Definitely don't sit this opportunity out! Jack says thank you!

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!

Marc was great, so many things we were doing wrong. The lessons that Marc thought us were so informative and made sense. We look forward introducing the lesson into our daily routine so that we can have happy well behaved dogs (Stella & Tobi)Thank you for all help.Warm wishesAimee

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!

I can’t say enough good things about Marc and Bark Busters Dog Training. Marc is not only personable with his “human clients”; but his love for his canine clients radiates! We recently adopted the sweetest, most loving tripawed German Sheppard from Big Dog Ranch rescue when our loving canine passed after 16 wonderful years with him. Our new fur baby “German” is perfect in all aspects, with the exception of severe separation anxiety. We could not leave the room - let alone the house - without our new member. This separation anxiety was so severe we were terrified our new baby would seriously injure himself if left alone. After countless hours of research, I reached out to Marc for help and he responded immediately. Realizing the severity of German’s separation anxiety, Marc acted quickly and we had our first training session last night. We were blown away - to say the least - at the response German had to the training! After just a single session with Marc, I am happy to say German is completely cooperating and I can already leave a room for a while without him. We will definitely put in the work we need to do to make our baby feel not only loved, but completely secure. Today, I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that this was the best decision we could have made for not only German’s health, but ours as well. Thank you Marc for being the best thing that has happened to German! I look forward to the baby steps we will take for a long lasting, healthy relationship with our beautiful boy! I urge anyone that is in need of behavioral training to reach out to Marc and Karen. You will definitely not be disappointed and your fur baby will be in the best hands ever!

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

14:02 29 Sep 19

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

14:19 11 Aug 19

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!

19:35 31 Jul 19

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!

Marc just worked with our dog Duke who is a cane corso and was great. We were having issues with him acting up when we were gone and also with interactions with dogs and distractions. After 2 hours with Marc, Duke seemed more comfortable and less anxious. I cant wait to see what happens after 2 weeks of practice!!

Doug Carrion

20:46 16 Jul 19

Great trainer, very professional! I was skeptical after working with multiple companies, but Marc exceeded everyone's expectations and those of the people we referred him to. Marc was very engaged and went out of his own comfort zone to help us with our aggressive dog by going above and beyond to make a difference in our lives. Thank you for keeping our family together.

Valery Sommers

20:19 27 Jun 19

It is truly amazing how Marc and the Bark Buster’s method made me feel so empowered with my little dog. She responded amazingly, and today we are still doing well. I definitely recommend this program for people who are struggling with how to handle their dogs.

Our trainer Marc was extremely informational and effective in just the single three-hour session we had. Our dog immediately picked up Bark Busters learning method and responded very well to it. I completely agree with their methods as there is no treats provided nor any cruel or harsh objects used on the dog. This was something we were really looking in dog trainers and Bark Busters provided all of it for us! Five star recommendation!

Ashley P

00:06 22 Jun 19

With Marc's help, we accomplished more in 3 hours with our pit mix puppies than we had accomplished in 1.5 years of training with other trainers! This system really works. It seemed crazy when Marc told me about it, but the dogs responded immediately and they continue to learn everyday! We have much happier pups now!

Elaine Bowman

21:35 16 Jun 19

I am so happy we decided to call Bark Busters. Marc was wonderful in the way he explained everything, from why dogs do what they do to learning to speak "Dog". I was stunned at my dogs reactions and absolutely amazed with their behavior today... Its like we have two different dogs! I highly recommend Bark Busters if you have any issues with your dogs!

Bark Busters was an amazing experience. Marc came to our home to help us with our 2 Dalmation puppies and older Dalmation. The results have been immediate. Marc set us up for success with several tools to practice daily with the dogs and all is well. We were even able to take them to the dog park for the first time in over a year. The constant barking has lessened and walking has become a pleasure. Looking forward to continued success.

We had our first season with Bark Busters and we were amazed how our 4 dogs responded to the training. I have been used to giving treats to work with commands, which I prefer not to do. I am pleased to say everything we learned for our dogs did not consist of treat rewards. There are 4 dogs and when someone comes to the door there are 4 barking, obnoxious dogs, which is very annoying. Bark Busters showed us how to manage these barking monsters in one class. Amazing. They are good. The best part of their training is that there is not any treats, not any loud reprimands, or any force, only calm assertive training. I love their methods of training.

Doug Parlamento

13:02 09 May 19

Great 1st session with Karen. Instant results and the tools to give our new boy the training to make his life and ours stress free. Bark Busters is well worth the time and investment and we look forward to having their support throughout the life of our best buddy!

Within just a few hours Marc was able to train our family and give us the lifelong tools to help deal with any dog training issue that might come up and the existing issues we were having with our puppy. With lots of practice, I think we are going to have one amazing dog. If you need help with any dog behavior issues, I highly recommend making an appointment with Bark Busters.

This was the greatest experience we have had with our dogs. We have two giant schnauzers who are well trained and very social. About a year ago, the younger one started fighting aggressively with the older one (2 yrs and 6 yrs). It was frightening to watch when this happened. We were at the point where we even discussed having to find home for one of them. We didn't know what to do or how to fix it. We had to keep them separated in the house. UNTIL....... this Friday we met with Karen and Mark from Bark Busters TC. It was unbelievable! I was skeptical when they told us they would spend 3 hours together and we would see a difference. It was so simple and everything they said all made perfect sense. Helping us understand their process, and teaching us, we had both dogs listening to our commands and reacting to them immediately. Within 3 days, our dogs have stopped barking at people who come to the door, or walking past our fence. They know their boundaries and I must say the young one, who was trying to be the leader is the calmest I have seen him. They are both happy dogs. Our next session is bringing them together with Karen and Mark. I can't wait. I highly recommend both Karen ad Mark. They are both remarkable dog trainers (people trainers). :-)

AT our wits end and no where To Turn we looked for a training program to fit our needs and our schedule and our budget. We found inexpensive but I firmly believe you get what you pay for. I had checked with the pet store only to find out they have minimal experience so I checked bark Busters the price seemed high but then I had no options that even compared they came to me and I have two dogs that has a lifetime guarantee. AFTER THE SECOND hour I noticed a huge difference in both our pets and both my husband and myself. We are a work in progress and my only complaint is that we didnt do this earlier. If I never see her again I got my money's worth in just one visit. Very impressed and more importantly my pet kids are becoming much better family members.

22:36 15 Feb 19

I have had one session with Karen Deppe and I saw a complete change in both my dogs. One of them had many behavioral concerns that I needed addressed (including aggression) as well as training for my other dog. She took the time and explained how I needed to become the "pack leader" and gave me so much information about how to be successful with training. I highly recommend Bark Busters (Karen and Marc Deppe) for all your training needs. The main thing is to be consistent and if you follow through you will not fail. I am so happy I reached out. I felt hopeless and that there was no way to restore order in my house but we are headed there!!!! THANK YOU!

13:53 06 Feb 19

Marc was amazing with my dog! My pup Leo and I moved to Florida from NYC and we were both experiencing "moving anxiety". We had worked with Barkbusters in NYC and I knew it was the way to go! He spent no less than two hours dealing with all our (and I say OUR as of course it's up to me to make it work!!) issues. By the end of our session, Leo was definitely compliant and I was reminded of all the reasons BBusters is the best home dog training there is (shout out to Sarah in NYC too). Marc left me with a complete write-up on all the things I have to do to make sure Leo behaves - and this way I can't say I don't have the tools to make it work! I LOVE BARKBUSTERS.

Marc at bark busters really expanded my canine knowledge. He really helps you understand your dog, and just how to “speak”. I didn’t expect my dog to respond so positively and quickly. You can’t expect to train your dog if you don’t do a little training yourself.

Teri Tripodi

18:00 18 Jan 19

I couldn’t be more pleased with Bark Busters & the fantastic results we're having so quickly! Quickly, as in our very first session! Our pooch was a “road-side find” 2 years ago & she came with all kinds of issues. She was anxious, afraid & traumatized. She desperately wanted to please us but her fearfulness was causing her to show aggression toward other dogs & sometimes people who came to the door. This became a huge problem & we could see it progressing to the point when she’d probably bite another dog eventually.We were not in favor of other training techniques that utilize choke collars, shock collars & other painful devices which made it challenging to connect with a trainer that we were comfortable with. I finally found Bark busters & am so grateful for their training ethics & technique! No pain to our sensitive pup & she responds so well I can hardly believe the progress! She’s not afraid & is relaxed in our home rather than pacing around like she’s on guard duty all day. She doesn’t lunge at other dogs during walks & we were able to take her on a recent family vacation with 100% success! Everyone commented about how beautifully behaved & well mannered she was!I’ve enjoyed every minute working with Karen from Bark Busters while she has patiently trained ME & my pup. Thank you, Karen, for your incredible gift of teaching & showing us the way to a truly happy, content dog!!Huge thumbs (& paws) up for Bark Busters!!!

Marc came out to work with my two Great Danes. When he first got here my boyfriend and I were skeptical about the process because they are both older dogs however, after the session was over We were amazed. One of the big issues we had with Kena (my female Great Dane) was that she would listen to my boyfriend but not me. After the training session and some homework, she now responds perfectly to both of us. Another issue we had was leash aggression, when you are walking 270 lbs of dogs that is a big issue.I am now able to walk both of them alone with no problem. He addressed every concern we had, I would highly highly recommend them. My dogs have become respectable member of society and I absolutely love it.

Thank god for Marc and bark busters! Marc came to my house a few days ago and helped to train my 2 year old spunky spitfire of a pitbull, lady. Lady had issues with jumping on people, and just being over excited and inattentive to me. After just a short time with Marc, Lady was looking to me for direction, she was no longer jumping on myself and my boyfriend when he walked in the door, and she was a thousand times better at walking on a leash. Marc taught me how to continue my training with Lady and how to be her leader. im so grateful for bark busters for helping me with my wild child!

Janice Brown

Such a great experience from beginning to end. I literally watched my 2 dogs transform right in front of me. It was absolutely amazing to watch. I became the leader and learned how to guide the dogs to the rules that needed to be in place. I am now left with the tools to have a happy loving balanced household. Thank you so very much!

Marc and the Bark Buster team were great! They knew exactly what they were doing and are very effective in training all types of unwanted behaviors. My dog pulls on the leash and barks at anyone who knocks on the door. After just one visit, both of these issues have resolved and he is a much calmer, less anxious dog. Being a manager at a local animal hospital, I will definitely be recommending Bark Busters to all my clients!

Christine Anderson

13:50 31 Aug 18

They came to my house and taught me how to work with my dogs (stubborn, difficult to train American bulldogs!) and within an hour got great results!! I'm amazed and couldn't be happier! It was all done so gently and without force! Amazing.

A few months back I rescued a German Shepherd and named her Lady. Shes definately been a handful and training her has been pretty difficult, especially living alone. Marc, and the rest of Bark Busters, have been a blessing in disguise! He came over to help with training Lady yesterday and ever since it's been a whole new world with her! Of course Rome wasnt built over night and we, and yes of course there's still work to be done with her. But overall she's been more attentive, responsive, and calmer than before her training and I couldnt be any happier! I thank you for taking the time to come by and show me the ropes to properly get Miss. Lady on the path for success! I'll make sure to refer you to anyone I know who needs some professional doggie training! -Stacey A.

My husky mix always tried to challenge us for the "alpha" position in our family and we were having a hard time controlling him. Marc came and immediately helped us to understand Apollo's behavior and understand how to keep him from challenging that position. After the first session Apollo is already walking better on his leash and has even retained a lot of what we learned from the session. And I'm very comfortable in his training knowing that I can always call them to come back and help if we are struggling with Apollo's training or if any new problems arise. I would definitely recommend Marc and Karen to any dog owner dealing with behavioral issues!

Karen Deppe is excellent at training not only dogs but owners as well. She is a wealth of information on speaking "dog" and even dog health tips. My two dogs are going to be much better because of the lessons I learned from Karen on how to be in control! BarkBusters is the best dog training around! I highly recommend Karen and Mark Deppe for all dog training.

When we got out Shepherd/Malinois puppy, we thought we knew what we were getting into. We researched everything we could and talked to as many people as we could. Being a first time large breed owner, we were outsmarted In just a few weeks. Mark came in and trained US for awhile before even meeting Maverick. It was exactly what we needed. Maverick caught on quickly to be calm and obedient while still being his huge ball of love. We couldn't believe our eyes. We're beaming with pride!

Being in the industry, we have owned our own vet practice for 15 + years and have seen a lot of training systems. THIS is BY FAR, THE BEST approach to training we have ever witnessed. Our trainer/therapist had our pack doing exactly what was asked of them, quite literally, minutes after starting the program. There was no yelling, no angry voices, no touching or hitting of any kind. The approach is staggeringly simple. I would not only recommend this to every dog owner to help correct issues, but I hope that every dog's person would give THIS, the gift of connection to their companions, as the dogs don't just need this, they WANT this, as it bonds them even more to us, their people. We feel safe, they feel safe and everyone is happy. Gone are the days of being embarrassed when people come to the door. We enjoy walking with our pups and look forward to the next time we can work with them. They, in turn, are so much happier and enjoy us, their people, even more. It is not so much reprograming of your pet to do what you want as much as a programming YOU to be able to ask of your companion what you want in a clear way that THEY understand. You are taught how to communicate with them on a new level. Once you see the training in action, you simply will not believe how simple, how utterly stress free and enjoyable the whole process is.THIS, in our professional opinion, is THE ONLY way one should attempt training. It simply works and the bonus is that there is no need for lengthy sessions of months but most see the results they need in one 3 hour session. It is worth every penny. I would pay twice the going rate and it would still be a bargain. Don't put this off any longer, you have found the best training available, trust us, we know after more than a combined 40 years in the industry.

Trainers did an awesome job showing me how to take control of my dog which was aggressive towards people and other dogs. Didn’t take very long to transform my dog to be submissive. Now I can peacefully walk my dog and feel comfortable with her around people and my new puppy. Absolutely greatful that my dog can be calm and live a more peaceful life. I’ve tried other trainings but nothing compared to the results I saw with Bark Busters. It was instant transformation!

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!The Sirens

I can truly say that I am so very grateful to Marc and Karen. I have 3 dogs that were constantly charging the door and trying to run away along with other issues. When the lesson was complete I have very well behaved dogs who now listen, they stay in their own perimeter, they don’t yank me down the road and they don’t bother me at the table. I can’t say enough about how exceptional and patient these 2 wonderful people are. They truly are the best at what whey do.

My dog rescue dog Petey has severe separation anxiety. I have worked with a dog trainer and a behaviorist previously to try to correct this but have not made any progress with his anxiety. My friends and family haven’t been able to visit without being jumped on constantly, or subjected to his loud howling and crying while being crated. After the first 30 minutes of training with Marc, Petey is a completely different dog! I’m happy to say that the techniques I have been shown are working very well and we continue to practice what we learned everyday. My family and friends are blown away with the difference in Petey’s behavior. I highly recommend this service, it’s been worth every penny!

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.

We have two 6 yr old rescue dogs. We've had them since they were puppies, but we never managed to train them, especially pulling on the leash, so walking was always a hustle. Also, seems that they were ruling us, not the other way around.Marc came to us and in one visit of just over 3 hours, changed all that. The results were immediate.Of course, he trained us, also, so we can continue reinforcing what the dogs learned.

HIGHLY recommend Bark Busters!! Marc is amazing - he was extremely personable and fantastic with Murphy! In less than an hour, my out of control, spaz of a German Shorthaired Pointer was coming when called, & sitting nicely without barking as I answered the door and welcomed guests and family into the house! Today he wasn’t trying to run out of the house or gate, and he followed me out doors! He’s a new dog and I’m a much better, happier owner!!

Marc and Karen were wonderful trainers for our Bella and Peanut. They were loving, caring and professional right from the start. We certainly made the right choice hiring them.We couldn't believe how fast our little puppies picked up the new rules of the house. Right before our very eyes we saw them follow the new commands like they have always been doing them. I have to say they are both adjusting well. Bella and Peanut both took to Marc and Karen immediately.They're extremely patient and its nice to know that they are always there if you need them.I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for professional, knowledgeable trainers.Great job guys!It was truly a pleasure working with you .Cindy and Phil

I started training dogs when I was 14 years old for Leader dogs for the blind, I though I still knew a thing or two about training dogs. After a quick session with Mark my eyes were opened to a completely new and easy way to train dogs! Our Riley was a good girl to start with, but now after only a week, she is the most respectful, polite, and obedient dog we've ever owned! This process is a complete game changer! Thanks Mark!

I was a skeptic. Now I’m a believer.My dog, although very sweet with me, would not allow anyone else into the house without constant barking, jumping up, chasing, and nipping at heels. Whenever I had company, Luigi had to be boarded- an expensive nuisance, to say the least.Three trainers before I enlisted Marc’s help had absolutely no success. One even told me that Louie was a “special case”. I had all but given up.Then someone told me about Bark Busters, and I decided to give it one more try. Now, here’s the amazing part of the story- 3 hours into the first training session, Luigi was sitting, quietly and contentedly, by my side, while Marc and I were conversing.I recommend this service 100%, without reservation. Many thanks to Bark Busters and Marc for showing me how to solve my pet’s unacceptable behavior...easily, effectively, and without any trauma, either to Luigi or myself!

14:16 19 Feb 18

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 our expectations 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!!

Marc came into our home to work with our two fur babies Bear (1.5yr) and Nyx (12 weeks). I was skeptical at first because Marc claimed that by the end of the session we would see a dramatic difference in the behavior of our dogs by the end of the session. Boy was he right. Bear was focusing on us (my husband and I). He usually barks and jumps on guests or he jumps on me when I get home as soon as I walk into the door. When I got home from work yesterday, I was able to walk in, put my stuff down, get a drink, and then when I was ready to greet Bear I did. I was shocked. Then later that night my brother came over (the day after our session with Marc) and Bear only barked at him a couple of times. My husband and I corrected him. He allowed my brother to enter the door and get passed the designated no enter area before he sniffed him and then he sat at my brother's feet and wagged his tail. If this were two days ago Bear would have been barking his head off at him (for some reason he has always growled and barked at my brother). We just did general puppy training with Nyx since he's still little but he is doing better with walking on a leash and not leaving his crate until he is allowed. Marc is coming back right before Nyx is 6 months to teach us more and I cant wait to see where we are with my fur babies then. Thank you so much Marc!

Marc and Karen from Bark Busters arrived at our house at 11:00 AM and were faced with a barking overzealous terrier and a huge 150 pound extremely nervous 19month old English Mastiff. The Mastiff was extremely difficult to walk and frightened of all noises and people encountered during her walk.By 3:00 PM there was a miraculous change in both dogs. Ella the Mastiff can now be walked by my wife by herself which was impossible prior to Marc and Karen. We are now able to control Teddy the terriers constant barking. With the simple commands we were taught we now have our home back. If I was not present during the training I would never have believed it possible.Thank you Marc and KarenBob and Denise LainoVero Beach, Fl.

It has been three days since our meeting with bark busters and we could not be any more pleased with the results. Both of our dogs are unrecognizable in the best of ways after the training. They responded very well to it all and seem eager to learn and be good boys every day. I recommend this program to every dog pwner i know!!! You will will be greatfull for investing in you and your dogs happiness

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.

My experience with Bark Busters is priceless! Rooney, a 16 month rescue mix breed lab suffered from separation anxiety. He would bark and carry on and even break out of his crate. Damage to my door frames was becoming a problem and expensive. After just 3 hours of training with Marc Deppe, Rooney is a different dog. The next day, following the training guidelines, I was able to coax Rooney into his crate voluntarily and left him for 30 minutes! There was no barking or howling or trying to break out of the crate!! Our walks are enjoyable for both Rooney and myself. I can not recommend this program more highly! Thank you Marc and Bark Busters.

When my wife told me about the training I was very sceptical. But something need to be done after our dog became aggressive .Boy was I wrong. After only a few short hours our dog was a completely new dog. We are continuing to work with our dog for a few minuets each day with dramatic results.

I am in total awe at the way Mark and Karen brought our dogs together in only a few short hours. They are amazing!!!I had four dachshunds, ages 14-16 1/2. I thought they were too old to train. My fiancée had a rescued puppy mill poodle, age 10. We were trying to move in together, but the dogs were a pack going after the little poodle. After only one session, we are now in control, without using bark collars or extreme measures. The dogs walk together and we are all much happier.We will recommend them to everyone we meet...I cannot say enough about Bark Busters.The program works!Donna Robert

Marc Deppe visited us yesterday, kindly filling in for our usual Texas trainer, to help us address some issues with our Rottweiler puppy. After 15 minutes I didn't recognize the often rambunctious puppy we had been living with! His communication skills with her and with us was incredible. He was very patient with us, listening to all the issues we had been facing, and systematically set about to tell us and then demonstrate to us how to effectively correct these behaviors. Our puppy loved him!Marc really does have a special gift for dog training, and I couldn't recommend him any higher.

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!!

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.
