Dog training success stories

Karen was great! Very informative with our dog. She was great in explaining what we need to do, she trained us to train our dog.

Very informative and helpful. Corrected many misconceptions about training our dog and who is the boss.

Marc was informative ad so very helpful. The training we received today took a load of worry off my shoulders.

Very informative with lots of good strategies to work on.

Amazing results after a single session! Definitely will continue the training!

Very helpful insight into my dog's behavior as well as mine. Made me feel more comfortable with the new dog in my home with my son. Great advise for my son.

Karen was very professional and caring. She showed genuine interest in solving issues for Cutie and I. With simple terms and demonstrations, I feel very comfortable with progress and the future for Cutie and I. Thank You!

We were in a desperate place with our dogs when we signed up for this service. I only expected to get relief from from that particular situation. Instead we were empowered to take total control of our dog's behaviors and make our home a peaceful, enjoyable place. Thank you so much!

Karen was very patient, excited to learn to "speak dog".

Loved it, Karen is perfect and really took the time to explain correctly and very simple and easy!!

So great to learn how dog's think. I saw improvement already

Karen was very informative, all made sense, Trainer needs training,that would be me. I am very sure this training will work.

GREAT! The training was for me rather than Charlie. I am sure Charley will be a great "son".

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!

Karen was great at giving us basic training on how to communicate with Clover in a way she would understand and what to expect based on her age.

Great! We covered many issues and I feel we are off to a great start!

Quick turn around from a wild like dog! Great with the dog!

Marc was very knowledgeable in training our dogs. Dogs responded very positively to the training. I was very impressed.

The session was very informative. The amount of information and instruction was very exhausting Enough information was left with us so if we forgot something we could look it up. It was made clear to us that they were a phone call away.

The training was great. It was nice to be able to learn what is going on inside the dogs head, instead of just correcting. We are exciting to see what is to come.

Killian improved his behavior with me and around the house.

I'm a veterinarian who has been around the world of dog obedience training and behavior counseling, but have never seen the success up-front achieved by Bark Busters. The previous training methods I have witnessed include treats, clickers and/or physical contact, but none of this was necessary for Paquito, my Chihuahua/Min Pinscher mix dog. The knowledge passed on by Bark Busters was concise, easy to understand and can be put into practice immediately. I'm grateful for Bark Busters and their very knowledgeable trainer (Mr. Marc Deppe) who came to my home.

Karen was wonderful in educating us in how dogs think and respond in a pack. It was amazing how Dasher responded to us showing him we were the leaders. I am looking forward to working with him and Karen to accomplish all of our goals.

Training for my dogs and me as well. Looking forward to much more.

Very comfortable with the immediate response with Bella. The true promise to her behaving and learning.

Bark Busters has significantly helped us train our dogs within a couple of hours. They are great at explaining the reason behind how the training works. I am also glad that I can continue the training when they leave with the "homework" we have to help their progress.

Marc is very knowledgeable in all aspects of behavioral training. Great approach, kind, gentle and attainable goals.

It was really great we feel more comfortable with our new dog.

Karen was outstanding, kind and patient. Very through with explanations.

Mark was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He made an otherwise daunting task seem easy and we saw noticeable improvement almost immediately. Thanks Mark and Bark Busters. We highly recommend!

Helped with puppy play, mouthing and zoomies.

Very insightful and informative, I can't wait to put it into action.

Defiantly addressed my dog's issues and I saw improvement. I learned a lot.

Very positive and clear instructions.

Marc was an absolute pleasure to deal with and on top of it. We are pretty sure that he changed our lives and Louis's life for the better!!!

I never thought Sultan would act like this in just a couple of hours. Having him looking at my dinner with out eating it is magic!! Thank you!

Buster responded well to the training. The instructions were clear and easily reproduced, looking forward to follow up visit.

Mark was very informative and east to understand with a sense of humor. We feel confident that we will be able to follow his instructions.

The training was amazing! We were able to see immediate progress with all three dogs. We are very excited to see more improvements in the future.

Outstanding lesson with Marc today. Saw great development with my dog, Pepe

Very eye opening experience. Great easy lesson to follow and implement with positive outcomes towards a well behaved dog.

We worked on the "Bah" growl to tell the dog's when they are wrong and the "Good Girl" to tell them when they are right, positive behaviors. We also learned how to use the leash, collar and our body language to communicate. We addressed front door manners and jumping when guest arrive.

Marc was incredibly through with his demonstration. The training was easy to apply. We loved the outcome. It was interesting to train from a dog's perspective.

I had never fostered or owned a dog of my own and when I saw this poor boy's picture on Instagram I wrote: "I will foster him.". It didn't take long for me to fall in love with Woody, who is named after one of my father's favorite jazz musicians, Woody Herman. My problem was that I already had 3 cats and Woody wasn't about to play nice to say the least. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep him. I started to do research on dog trainers and found that some used harsh techniques like shock collars. Woody was already coming out of what appeared to be a violent background. People in animal rescue believed that he had possibly been used as a bait dog. The first two photos are from when he came to me. The white marks were wounds that were healing. Anyway, I asked Google for a dog trainer that could get my dog and cats to exist calmly together. Bark Busters came up in the search. I read the reviews and was impressed with the glowing reports of quick success. And I needed things to happen quickly! I called and spoke with Mark who is one of the nicest people on the planet! We met at my home and what I witnessed over the next several hours totally blew my mind. Woody was quite responsive and did very well with the various training exercises that Mark led him through. But the challenge was the situation with my cats. Little by little I exposed them to him and on a second visit with Mark and his wife Karen they encouraged me to go a little further and so I did. I would walk him in the house on a leash and use my "dog talk" when needed. I saw progress. Woody was kept in his crate a lot and whenever I would go out I made sure it was not only locked but would tie a leash around it in a double knot. One night when I came home he greeted me in my laundry room! I was shocked and scared. Worried about what I might be seeing as I entered the rest of my home my fears were extinguished when I found 2 of my cats on the arms of the sofa and my oldest, most feeble cat lying comfortably on the sofa! It was a miracle! This occurred one more time as "Divine Confirmation" to me that all was well and Woody now shares the house with my cats in a relatively peaceful manner. I say it that way because my cats have been more combative than him! He has had his face swiped pretty good when he's gotten too close! They actually intimidate him now and that is the last thing I thought I'd see! I'm positive this would not have occurred if I hadn't had Bark Busters training. Mark and Karen are excellent at what they do. Actually, there aren't enough words to describe their professionalism and deep understanding of animal behavior. They are responsive to phone calls and texts and most of all they care about pets and owners coexisting in a happy environment. Who wants to always be yelling at an animal? How can an animal love and trust you if that's how they're treated? The Bark Busters way is, in my opinion, and experience, the best way to train your dog! Look how happy my Woody is now! And I'm happy too! Thank you, Mark and Karen!

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!

The training session was informative and consistent. Our dog responded favorably to the training. We were able to understand the "dog" teaching via well explained techniques.

Absolutely wonderful learning how to be a "pack leader" in my own home. We saw results in the first visit.

We were very impressed with Shana's response to the exercises performed by trainer and then by us. Understanding that this is an ongoing situation, we nevertheless have better outlook that Shana will change her behavior.

Very happy with the service.

The training was extremely informative and helpful. both dog's improved in the first session. Mark was amazing.

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!

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.

We were amazed how quickly Shana Listened. Very impressive with how Shana responded to the instructions.

Session was enlightening and educational. My wife and I saw instant improvement in the behaviors of our dogs.

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 couldn't 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.

The dogs are much calmer now. Not on furniture or charging the front door.

Proficient and completely understandable. I feel I can succeed with this training program,

Karen was easy to understand and very pleasant to work with. She was great with Bruno!

We were pleasantly & satisfies with you service! Clear instructions given today for moving forward. Leonard loved and respected Marc, Thank you!

Extremely informative and well executed. Even with my dogs timid nature, the training was tailored to suit her needs. I genuinely appreciate that.

Brought calm and peace to aggression situation between new addition and three residents dogs. Integration techniques extremely helpful.

Great service, very informative, saw immediate results.

Marc was so helpful in helping us to understand Apollo's behavior and helping us learn to control him. He would constantly try to challenge us for the "alpha" position but Marc taught us series of exercises that would help break Apollo out of that habit. He would pull on the leash, jump on people, bite, and constantly take things that were not his but Marc taught us how to simply and effectively deal with it all. And I feel comfortable with his training knowing I can call Marc to come back if we are ever struggling or having problems.

Great improvement very quickly.

Very useful new information regarding understanding dog behavior before and to start training. Noticed a major improvements from first session. Mark is great!

I love the immediate response from all 3 dog's. The training was awesome. Came and reinforced power training. Taught us to take control of the pack.

Great to see that our dog's are trainable!

Karen and Marc are awesome! We HIGHLY recommended them to anyone having behavioral/obedience type problems with their doggie! You will be impressed just like we were. Now our pup Henry is clearly learning how to obey our rules and follow us as the pack leader. Karen and Marc are very accommodating and explain how to easy it is to speak dog. Thank you guys!

Great 1st session! Correcting bad behaviors does not happen overnight. I am extremely appreciated of Mark & Karen's time and coaching us to move forward.

Noticed immediate results. Dog's are listening and behaving better in the few hours we spent this morning teaching the. Excellent Trainer!

Very through and helpful with problems we are having. Great tips to help with housebreaking and puppy training.

Well explained, respectful and effective.

Fantastic! It was the most beneficial thing we have ever done for Finley. Would recommend to anyone looking to improve their relationship with their dog.

I truly was not expecting this much change in such a short time. Extremely simple process to follow to have amazing dogs. I am super satisfied.

Very knowledgeable, loving, patient and great job at teaching us to work with our sweet pups :) We are super excited to see the changes :)

Very, Very, informative. We were highly impressed with the method used and how well Tex responded.

I was highly skeptical until I saw the training in action.Every dog owner should and must do this!

Brooklyn learned very quickly with this method.

Dog's responded to training so well in all area's.

Thanks so much for the help. I really needed puppy and house breaking training.

Marc was wonderful and explained very clearly the training. We saw immediate changes in the behavior from our dogs.

Marc and Karen were great. Not only with our dogs, but helping us. They both were super friendly and made sure we understood not only how to do everything why it is so important.

Very informative on how to train dogs. Easy to follow directions. Understood everything I was taught. Everything I can remember and will be easy to repeat daily.

Karen did a wonderful job showing Amber & I the commands and how to instill them over the next 3 weeks to a month. Can't wait to improve my dogs behaviors.

Karen was amazing- Great Teacher to Winston and us! Looking forward to learning more.

I was not expecting the awesome results that we got on the first appointment. I'm looking forward to using the techniques we learned tonight

Tucker responded quickly to the trainer. Marc was very informative and helpful. Marc was amazing!

Very helpful to learn new techniques to help Indy to feel safer in our home.

I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about dog behavior. I was surprised at how much I didn't know.Marc broke down the training into manageable pieces and we were making significant progress in a short period of time.

Karen was so amazing! I saw great improvements with Blair immediately. Defiantly would recommend Bark Busters!

Marc was very knowledgeable and patient. He gave us amazing insight on how Max processes information. We feel it will be very valuable to us in working with Max. Marc has a fantastic personality.

Marc was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable about teaching us how our dog thinks and reacts before beginning our training process. This was beneficial especially from never owning a dog or working with a dog previously. It is reassuring knowing Marc & Karen are with us every step of the process and life of the dog.

The training session was very good.

We had a three hour of training session training dog's and the owner. One dog's arrived today, just adopted, so ensuring acceptance into the "New Pack" was important. Learned the basic commands and reward techniques. Everyone learned quickly. I could not believe the transformation from before after the session!!!

I am so pleased and feel so much more confident. Karen and arc were very patient and through. They provided excellent teaching and assisted with giving great feedback on any areas or methods that I need correcting.

It was a huge shock seeing Cooper in a state where he was willing to obey and behave. The training experience was easy to follow and the follow up training instructions were clear

I can hardly express my amazement at the change in Val. Marc is so through and explains everything in such an interesting way. I will recommend Bark Busters to everyone I know that is a dog owner.

Very Imformative.

Marc was excellent at teaching me how to teach Max. The techniques and skills I learned will last a lifetime. Mark is an obvious expert. I would recommend him unconditionally.

Karen was able to get Kairo's attention right away and address issues immediately. We noticed an improvement instantly with certain commands we have not seen before.
