Dog Health Questions: Anyone used Bark Busters??? In Home Dog Training.?

I think I might go with them over "Dog Training In Your Home". I'm not one hundred percent sure yet, so I wanted to see if others have used them? They have a lifetime guarantee, and wherever we move we can continue to use them at a flat rate of $495... they do lifelong training no matter when and what problems arise even after my dog is "trained".

There are no true 'certifications' for dog training...anyone can call themselves a dog trainer. I've used APDT 'certified' trainers who were absolute crap...most people who call themselves dog trainers have 0 training - they work based on their own inflated ego and 'experience'.
Bark Busters trainers are some of the best in the world...yes, they are franchised but they go through very extensive training...and if you want results, they are the best. Just check out the THOUSANDS of customer testimonials on their web site www.barkbusters.com
Plus, if Joe dog trainer decides to close up shop one day, you're screwed. Bark Busters will always be around to support you with a network of hundreds of trainers around the world...
I work in a vet hospital and we do not recommend dog trainers lightly (as other responders to your question would have you believe) - we only recommend the best...we recommend Bark Busters because they trained all of our dogs - and the results were amazing!

Rescue Dog Training

• I've said this before....."Do not use a 'franchise' trainer'. Paying $50,000 for a few classes, videos, books and promotional materials does not make someone a dog trainer".
  I've dealt with more "RE-TRAINS" than you can shake a stick at. And believe me, by the time I get them...they're REALLY messed up.
  Find a professional.
  
  Additional:
  I'm not talking about you...I'm talking about how THEY get "certified". They have "credibility" from shear numbers. Vets and shelters rarely know squat about dog psychology. They wouldn't know a good trainer from a bad one....especially if they show them some type of "certification". You're just as well off to get a book from the library, or go to petsmart.


• Many times your vet will know of puppy classes or trainers in your location that are good because his clients will tell him of their own experiences.
  
  I think five hundred is too much, but the idea of "lifelong" is good.
