Our dog Rocky had some behavior issues that we were struggling to manage, but Pete's guidance made a world of difference. From the very first visit, he provided us with clear, effective techniques that immediately helped Rocky improve. His patience, expertise, and passion for what he does truly stand out. Thanks to Pete, Rocky is much better behaved, and we feel more confident as dog owners. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate trainer, we highly recommend Pete!

Please note this is for the trainer working in all of Bucks County (to my understanding)…read more Our trainer came over on a Sunday and informed us training would be approximately 2 hours. Almost 4 hours later the training session was over. We set another session for 2 weeks later. The trainer did not arrive on time. We texted and then called with no response. We finally got a response that he had out session down for 2 hours after we had agreed on and he blamed it on his scheduling team being in another time zone. He came over and we had to have a rushed sessions because our kids had to get to their activities. We set another session for 2 weeks later. He again didn't show up. We reached out and got a text back that he was in a training session. We were able to connect on the phone and he said he didn't have us on his schedule. He then blamed his phone memory being full. Given that the contract said you should give a 15 minute grace period and the trainer was not within that grace period either time I reached back out a few days later and said after thinking it over he hadn't built trust with us and we wanted a refund (and that he should keep the booking fee- we don't want to be unreasonable here). The trainer said he would sit at his computer and handle it when he could because he had only given 2 refunds this year so this wasn't too bad. That was on Friday. I gave him the weekend and reached back out Monday. Then Tuesday. Then again today which is a Wednesday. He is now ignoring me so I am sharing my experience with everyone so that you do not use Bark Busters. They can't be trusted. Do not use this service. Find a local trainer who charges by the session and will show more respect for you as a client.

Occasionally I have my dogs groomed there, knowing they cancel without contacting me, and miss hair matts behind my dogs'ears and underneath but I was desperate. Today was the worst .

But then she said oh, I think you made the appt for tomorrow at 5. Nope. I .did .not. I said I couldn't have. So I left. In the car I looked at the my screen shot I took when scheduling and discovered they changed the appt without my knowledge leading me to believe I'm going insane.

I didn't think they would be capable of learning much more but I was wrong. They learned many basic commands...sit, stay, they'll drop whatever they have in their mouth when we tell them to "drop it" and so many other skills that are needed in everyday life. They are now pros on a leash but I think one of the really important things they learned was interacting with other dogs and people. When we go on walks they're not distracted by other people and they're not pulling me trying to chase other dogs. We completed Beginner & Advanced classes, I highly recommend taking both classes.

From the start, Chris Carr was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly dedicated to helping both dogs and their families. Over the course of 10 days, Buster received 4-5 training sessions per day -- and the transformation was nothing short of amazing. When we picked him up, Chris spent a full hour training my son and me, making sure we understood how to maintain the progress at home. Since returning, Buster has been a completely different dog -- calmer, more focused, and so much more enjoyable to be around. We've even had friends and neighbors compliment his improved leash manners and overall behavior. Chris truly gave us the tools and confidence we needed to bring out the best in Buster, and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're considering a training program, I can't recommend Chris Carr and Strong House Training Center enough!

Honestly amazed at what Chris accomplished with our dog Figgy in just one session. Figgy is a 14…read moremonth old rescue who had issues with jumping, hated cars and was horrible on a leash. We had to spend 5 minutes just to load him into our car and would have to lift him in. When on a leash he would pull either pull or just lay down. Within 5 minutes Chris had him walking without pulling on a leash and got him to voluntarily jump in the back of our SUV! Chris walked us through his training process, the commands he would teach based upon our feedback of areas we wanted addressed as priority. The hardest part was waiting to the the results but as the saying goes good thing come to those who wait! The dog we picked up no longer jumped upon greeting, walked on a leash and was overall a much better behaved animal. Chris walked us through the training, gave recommendation and welcomed us to contact him with any questions or concerns. I would like to say the key takeaway which Chris stressed and I'll attest to is reinforcing the training; especially with a dog like Figgy who prior was allowed to let his bad behavior be considered acceptable. We ended up getting sick shortly after bring Figgy home and within a few day some of the bad behavior started to surface. Once we were able to get back to daily reinforcing his training from Chris he settled right back in to being the dog we knew he could be and Chris helped bring out. We are 100% satisfied with the results from Stronghaus and would highly recommend. Are the results worth it if you are willing to put in the work and stick with the training; 1000% yes! Chris showed us how to act as Figgy's leader, alleviating him from acting on bad behavior and being a dog who is now as laid back as can be and loving his new life. Worth every penny!

Prior to working with Daniel, my dog, Eugene, would bark, spin, mouth, run, and turn into a high-energy dog whenever someone entered my space, then stay high-energy after they left. It made me nervous having guests over. I put off dog training because I thought I could Google and read my way to a solution, we had a decent foundation in obedience on our own, and, frankly, Eugene and I had been stuck in our ways for some five years together. I wasn't sold on dog training. How wrong I was! Daniel's expertise went above and beyond anything I could've figured out myself. He helped me apply the obedience work we'd already done to create stronger boundaries and a better relationship. He noticed a few quirks in Eugene that meant generic dog advice just wasn't enough. Because Daniel has read so extensively in addition to his real-life experience, he could call out advice I'd picked up that wasn't serving us or help put it in context. Daniel is also dedicated to making the training process efficient -- he's not trying to sell you sessions you don't need -- and he makes himself available between sessions, which was a godsend as we were working through new behaviors. The result is a dog (and an owner) who is more confident and less anxious. Eugene has become a pleasure to be around, and I am so grateful for this. Thanks, Daniel!

Daniel immediately stood out when we were looking for a trainer for his credentials and after a short phone call we already felt confident he was the correct choice. At the initial assessment he observed us and Asher before sitting down & creating a gameplan for training. His training proved priceless, after a week we began to notice a difference & now a month later it is like he is a new dog. An additional benefit is that Daniel made it clear that we could text him any time with questions. We can't thank Daniel enough for how he's helped us and can't recommend him enough to any other dog parents looking for assistance. Thank you Daniel!

With that commercial-esque start, we would like to share our experience on Yelp. The past few years, we didn't face a situation where we had to travel without our dogs. But in August, my sister-in-law was getting married and it was hard for my mom who was at home to manage their AM and PM routines. We didn't find too many reviews for pet sitting but decided to give this service a call since they were local. A few days prior to our departure date, Sandy came down to our place to go over the initial consultation and by the end of it, all our concerns were allayed and we felt comfortable enough to let her run the show in our absence. She is very thorough when it comes to getting to know your pets, noting down care-related instructions and health conditions asking relevant questions when in doubt. A natural with animals, both our dogs loved her company from what my mother said. She was very punctual and even sent us updates on how they were doing. Highly recommend the pet sitting service to anyone looking for help.
