Not only are they there for hands on training with Enzo, but they are also training us. Teaching us the importance of timing and having your dog trust you. We learn valuable insight and tips on how to continue actively training Enzo to have him the be the best dog for us. We never feel like customers/clients to them. They treat Enzo, and us, like we are family. They genuinely care about dogs and always love to see the progress Enzo makes week to week. Enzo is a very smart breed of dog and it is definitely showing thanks to them! Would definitely recommend

Watch out for the word compulsion because it means forcing the dog to do something (aka punishment). Tony says he was trained by world renowned dog trainer Dr. Helmut Raiser who's RSV2000 kennel club is currently under review from being expelled from the VDH (German Kennel Club). Dr. Raiser has published many books but is formally trained in dentistry - dog training was a hobby that he turned into a career. I am not aware of any formal schooling that Tony has had. Tony will throw a bunch of fancy terms and accomplishments but never provided me with any of the documentation - he was on Oprah and consulted with Michael Vick's dogs. Couldn't find anything to back that up from my research. If you care for your dog, please don't sign a contract that releases someone from gross negligence with your dog. I hope no one has to see what I had to see and have to lose their dog.

I can't say enough good things about K9 Tailshakers in Frankfort!!! They are absolutely…read moreincredible. Every time you walk in the door, you are greeted with a huge smile. Our dog has been boarded there several times and this last time they went above and beyond my expectations. They treated our dog like she was one of their own, went out of their way to make her feel comfortable and not miss home so much. The ENTIRE staff are so great and all deserve a top notch recommendation. The owner Jan, went above and beyond to make our girls stay a happy one. I would HIGHLY recommend this place for daycare/boarding/training, they are the best you will find. Great job K9 Tailshakers, you outdid yourselves. Thank you from the bottom of our heart and Emmie's too!!!! We are so grateful.

Let me start with a brief description of my puppies; two adorable tyrants! My neighbor excited for…read morehis results with his puppy, told my about bark busters. I called bark buster and left a message within minutes Marlene called back and she was extremely helpful and professional. We agreed to meet at 11 AM on a Sunday... Marlene and Howard arrived 15 minutes earlier. They were wearing professional attire and display grace and friendliness. Once they enter the apartment with such manners, you can feel they are family already. They looked at my puppies and went to explained the program to me, while Howard was explaining the program, my puppy started chewing a piece of wood, Marlene, said a command and the puppy stopped immediately (magic). Not only I was impressed and I felt secure by Marlene and Howard, they only want from me to provide the best life for my puppies. We did some training with the puppies and the results are amazing. The puppies are lovely, tender, respectful. Thank to Bark busters I can continue my training to have best friends for life. They have a great way to explained the reality of a dog life! Highly recommended

Waste of $2,000. After a few sessions it was apparent that this service was not going to be…read morehelpful. The training sessions were very generic and we did not feel like any progress was being made with our dog. We did not reach out for further sessions after the first few but circled back after a few months hoping for a different experience. After booking an appointment we were notified that the only trainer for this company in our area was leaving the business. Now we have spent $2,000 for a lifetime trainer that we can no longer use. We have reached out to corporate for assistance but no one will respond to us. Overall I would not recommend this company unless you are looking for basic training. I do not think all behavioralist trainers are created equal and this company is not providing a true behaviorist trainer. Certifications don't necessarily translate to quality. Couple that with poor customer service and you have what appears to be a money grab from customers that are genuinely looking for help in a time of need.
