They guarantee it for life.
They come to your home. Is it best to have a trainer come to your home to help you with your situation, rather than just take your dog to classes?
Is trying to be the "alpha dog" the solution to many problems?
Please let me know your own personal situation and experience.
Thanks.
Important Dog Training Information
Recommended Answer:
Run, do not walk, to your phone and call Bark Busters!!!
Every pet store and veterinarian in my area recommends them because they are amazing...
My neighbor's aggressive dog was scheduled to be euthanized...the vet and other trainers said he could not be helped. They tried Bark Busters training and it saved his life! He's like a totally different dog now...
I used the same trainer for my dog and I saw immediate results - his issues weren't as bad, but in 1 lesson I got total control of my dog! I paid a flat fee and my trainer will give me ongoing help at no extra charge for the rest of my dog's life.
I tried group obedience classes, and after using Bark Busters I absolutely agree that In-home training is best because it's the dog's natural environment - the dog was much more focused and learned better and more quickly in his own home - too much distraction in a class.
Being 'Alpha Dog' or being a good Leader is most important because the dog understands pack law. Your dog needs to see you as Leader in order to trust you, respect you, and learn from you. Bark Busters teaches you a ton about the principles of dog behavior...how to show leadership in a dog way - it's kind of like a Harvard Education in dog psychology!
Bark Busters training is AMAZING!!!
If you want others' opinions, check out the thousands of testimonials on their website www.barkbusters.com. They also have a video clip on the site with tons of customer and vet testimonials.
The Basic Commands of Dog Training
- It's a franchise I don't agree with their methods or level of training they give their instructors.
Alpha Dog ala Cesar Milan can get you in a lot of trouble. For a lot less, you can get a real trainer to come to your home and do private lessons.
If you're just starting out, group lessons with other people and dogs is really the way to go. Call a local Humane Society or Rescue and see if they have classes. It's a lot of fun and great socialization for the dog AND YOU! - I have used Bark Busters....love them ..love them..love them....best money I ever spent..they did such a good job, I even paid for them work with my grown children's dogs. I would do it over again in a heartbeat.
- Do they have a web site that I can review their method on?
Many trainers are very good....This price is inline with national standards...a guarantee is nice if it means free lessons....remember this however: Your success is largely based on your understanding of what they do and say and your commitment to continue it....hard work is in order, but not for a long time....good luck
I just found their website....I have to say this: They seem professional....however I'm always taken back by folks who claim they are the "only" ones who.....or folks who are also engaged in selling franchises..... - We are using Barkbusters right now for an aggression issue in an ACD. The first time he came to the house to observe, he surprised us all with what we were missing in the behavior of our dogs. We currently own 5 dogs and also foster for a rescue group. In about 10 minutes, he had shown us some simple methods that had an immediate effect on our dogs overall obedience, and we were sold. He actually identified our pack leader for us(it wasn't who we thought it was) and suggested we work on the behaviors of three of our dogs in order to get the ACD under control. We have had three sessions and there is marked improvement in all of the pack, including the fosters. We are very thankful we hired this trainer, as we were terrified that we would have to put our ACD down.
Their method uses nothing physical with the dog, which is great for us, because we don't believe in any of that. It is hard work, though .You have to be committed to your animals and practice and train every day, even if it's only for 15 minutes. If you can do that, you will be as successful as we are. It was well worth the money.
For Sniffydogs, my instructor went through 225 hours of training for his certification. Plus he had a backround in dog training. I think that qualifies as enough. - ***PAY**** somebody $600 to train MY dog???
LMFAO!!!
NOT BLOODY LIKELY!!!!
I have a collar,leash,crate & BRAINS & a*SPINE*!!!
Unless they "guarantee" it'll be able to dance BALLET PROFESSIONALLY!!!!
