Bark Busters Home Dog Training

I have a 7 month old Border Terrier that can be a bit of a terror. Scott has helped me learn to rein him in with just my voice and simple prompts. I was a little worried at the initial cost of the training, but Scott is always willing to stop by, call or text to keep me and Oban on track and advancing through new commands. Absolutely worth EVERY penny!!!

We recently rescued a new canine family member and required extra support for assistance with «Melville’s» fear-​based aggression. Scott’s arrival to our home was punctuated by Melville’s over the top behavior charging the door. Literally within minutes Scott effectively instructed my husband and I with proactive, preventative methods. Our first session worked! It hasn’t even been 24-​hours and the positive change in how we interact is beyond miraculous. We are learning how to speak «dog» and look forward to our continued relationship with Scott at Bark Busters as we chart a healthier, new relationship with Melville. Do youself a favor and get Scott’s help today! You’ll be glad you did.

We LOVE Scott so much. He has helped us from the early days with our French Bulldog puppy Frida. We’ve made it though all the hard puppy stuff, thanks to Scott’s wisdom. He’s so easy to talk to and has such a kind heart. He’s been so easy to communicate with and its really so nice having his lifetime support. We’ll just text with our freak outs about this or that and Scott always has some suggestions and a calming spirit to help ground the situation. AND, Frida just melts like butter when she sees him…

We have a brand new dog.
I honestly can’t believe the changes that were made with our dog in such a short. Of time. He was horrible on the leash and had incredibly aggressive behavior towards anyone coming to the door. Literally within one hour we had learned techniques that have transformed him into a dog that we, at times, thought we might have to get rid of to and Incredibly well-​behaved. The training is clear, concise, very thorough and He makes himself available whenever you need follow-​up help. I will never get another pet without using him to help. I cannot say enough about this service. Anyone with a dog who barks too much, is too aggressive, pulls on the leash, or anything else that you need to correct should call them immediately.

Scott is a wonderful dog trainer. He has helped us out immensely with our dog. He is not overbearing or demanding and has a very effective approach. In general, he is just a very pleasant guy to work with and we look forward to his visits. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone without any hesitation!

My family just adopted a 3 year-​old American Bulldog. His temperament is wonderful and he is very gentle around the kids, who are 7, 3, and 2 years-​old. However, the dog is mediocre in his obedience training and difficult to walk on a leash. Scott came out to the house and after a couple of hours had us speaking a language the dog understood. I was able to walk him on-​leash by the end of the session. At dinner that night, the dog stayed away from the table and did not attempt to eat any of the food dropped by the youngest child. I am amazed at the success we had after one training session. I am even more amazed that the training did not require treats or clickers! I am very satisfied with Bark Busters and Scott Schwab. I will continue to update my review after we experience more sessions.

Scott has been working with my almost 2 year old Aussie/​Lab mix Clifford for about two months now and the results are already so clear. Clifford is a puppy with an insane amount of energy and has a very difficult time listening to commands. He is my first dog and I had no idea how to train him. After the very first session I saw dramatic change in his behavior. The home training is friendly and my pup responds very well to it. Today we worked on leash training and Clifford responded to the training right away and is already much easier to walk. Scott is always on time for our appointments and treats my dog as if he were his own. Bark Busters has been the best investment I have made for my dog.

I was having trouble with leash pulling and jumping with my 1 year old Australian Cattle dog/​Border Collie mix, Apollo. After the first visit Apollo changed completely! Scott’s techniques are quite effective and simple to learn. He is relaxed and easy to talk to, I very much recommend Bark Busters Home dog Training with Scott!

Scott has been great helping to train our lab puppy. He is strong willed, but Scott’s methods have proved effective. Scott is always on time and efficient in fixing our biggest problems with the puppy. We are excited to continue the training!

Scott worked with Finny, our 3-​year-​old lab mix, for the first time this past Friday. He is some kind of magical dog whisperer – we saw results immediately! Finny has always had pretty high anxiety, has pulled and barked on the leash, and has barked for attention since the day he joined our family, and after just two days of going through the exercises Scott showed us, Finny is more relaxed, is much easier to manage on-​leash, and has hardly barked at all. He is so much more at peace!

We adopted a shelter dog on January 2 and she started barking non stop not long after we got her home. We brought Scott in 5 days later and we’ve had a different dog since. The barking has basically stopped. As other issues arose, not following commands to leave the bed, not wanting to do her thing outside and refusing to go out in the morning with my husband, we brought Scott back and he showed us how to work with her. He’s encouraging to our dog as well as us! He can tell she wants to learn. We know it’s up to us to keep practicing and show her she is not the boss. I have already recommended Bark Busters to a friend and would recommend them (and Scott) to anyone looking for a great dog trainer.

Scott came over on Saturday to work with our almost 2 yr old Malamute. We saw a difference within the first session! His methods are friendly but assertive. I definitely feel like i am in charge!
Scott was on time and efficient, and we are so grateful he helped us get Thor on the right path. Thor’s separation anxiety has already decreased and we are excited to see him continue.

We just had our second session with Scott and I am so encouraged by the changes we are seeing in Indie, our 2 y/​o rescue Doberman. Her leash pulling/​lunging was so terrible that I was afraid to walk her. Scott was able to come in and begin to teach us the basics of being the pack leader. He has some awesome tricks up his sleeve that have already produced great results after only 2 sessions. We are excited to keep working to teach Indie to be a calm follower in our pack with Scott’s help. I highly recommend calling Bark Busters.

My dog Charlie is a corgi/​husky mix and for a long time I thought it was not going to be an easy task to train him. After just the first visit with Scott we saw a significant improvement in his behavior. Relief is all i am feeling and i couldn’t be happier. We will continue to use his techniques and can’t wait for him to come back to see his improvement! THANK-​YOU SCOTT !!

We just had our 2^nd training visit from Scott and we are so impressed with how well and quickly our pup, Sage, has responded. She’s a german Shepard mix, 10 months. I had worked with her from 8 weeks old on basic training and she could do the main commands but I was having trouble controlling her «manners» in the house (jumping, barking, etc). We also needed a lot of help with leash control. She just wasn’t responding to the training tactics I was trying. We learned from Scott that she thought of herself as the alpha and with some basic commands we had her understanding that she wasn’t in control.
The first visit we worked on indoor issues, and she’s been responding incredibly well, stopped jumping right away, THANK YOU! And it’s great to be able to tell/​show her when we need her out of our space, she’s not perfect with this yet, but it’s been a huge improvement and we are still working with her. The second visit concentrated on the leash and especially not pulling/​leading. Already impressed with her response!
We knew we had a smart dog on our hands and we wanted to get everything under control quickly, especially with a 2 yo in the house and a baby on the way. We love our Sage pup and want her to be apart of all of family activities without being a pest. Thanks Scott!

I am so thrilled with the training Scott provided to my puppy Lucca. He took the time to understand my specific concerns and issues with Lucca’s behavior and gave me the tools to help train Lucca in a humane and effective way. Lucca has responded beautifully to the training Scott provided, and I couldn’t be happier at the transformation in his behavior. It’s obvious Scott cares deeply about the dogs he trains and his clients; he makes himself readily available for questions or concerns. If you are having any issues with your dog – young or old – call Scott. You will be so glad you did!

I honestly can’t say enough great things about Scott. I had been going back and forth in my mind about seeking professional help for my 2 rescues and had been disappointed by Petsmart puppy training classes. I want to raise 2 happy dogs and, as a result, have avoided any sort of real discipline. I did, however, realize that my dogs were not viewing me as the leader and were engaging in defensive/​protective/​anxious behaviors as the result of my lack of authority. After the first visit, I was blown away by the noticeable difference in my dogs. With a few simple techniques and exercises, my dogs started looking to me before acting, seeking to understand what I wanted them to do. They no longer bark at the mailman or dogs passing by. They no longer jump on visitors or race me to the door. They leave me alone when I’m working or eating, and they seem to feel infinitely more secure in their lives now that they know they don’t constantly have to be on guard. I hadn’t realized what a disservice I was doing to them by not making my role as their leader and caretaker more clear. My friends and family are stunned by the changes they have seen, and I truly believe my dogs are happier. Scott makes the process so easy and if you’re truly dedicated to practicing with your dogs on a regular basis, the results are amazing. I am so grateful that I called Bark Busters and made that investment in my dogs’ futures!

Scott came to our home, with our dog Bella barking and jumping at the door as she usually does. Letting Scott know who is in charge.
Well, we sat down and discussed some of the issues our lab mix Bella was having, and what we had done. Scott showed us some new techniques, talked them over knowing why its used and when to use them. We then practiced, to our amazement Bella was behaving perfectly. We have been practicing using the techniques and could not be more pleased with the results. We can’t wait for Scott to pop in on us to see how Bella is doing so we can show him how great it has been since his visit. I strongly encourage you to give Scott a call with any and all dog issues. He was so good, I almost want to prepay for him to help my neighbors with their excessive dog barking problem. Thanks Scott. You have helped us change the entire attitude in our house. We are in charge now and Bella understands.
Call Scott today !!

We recently added a 5 month old puppy to our family. He is a boxer/​lab mix and we named him Spencer. I’ve never had a puppy and was shocked that they are more work than an infant. Spencer was having all sorts of «puppy» issues and after a few weeks I knew I needed help. More than just the advice of our friends. I did some research and found Bark Busters online. I sent an email and got an immediate response and phone call from Scott Schwab. We set an appointment for the following Saturday. In just a few hours he helped us, mostly me, understand how to speak «dog» and our puppy is like a different dog. I’m very excited for our continued partnership to help our family and our Spencer to thrive. Thank you Scott!

Excellent trainer Scott Schwab of Bark Busters. Helped my Dog Gardener with barking and aggression /​leash issues. His training is so unique and easy to follow if your dedicated to you pup ! He is a very kind and gentle trainer. I have tried other methods when I first adopted my pup. But nothing really helped. Basics were not an issue, as he got older is when he became troublesome. Scott and his method literally changed Gardeners and my life. So grateful to have found such a great pet person!
I will be using Scott for all my future pups!
