Just over a year later and I'm taking two dogs to classes at Lucky Dog Company. I've gotten to know…read morea lot of cool people. I am the only one here training Yorkshire Terriers and one of a few men bringing their dogs to classes. My rescue Jax is now registered with me as a Therapy Team with Pet Partners. We're doing visits with other teams at a memory care facility. Soon we will be doing visits at a summer class for special needs children. My long term goal is to be able to visit children in hospitals and shelters. Jax just melts into the arms of a child. Dog training is about training the owner to better communicate with their dog. I am amazed at what I've learned in the past year. Jax has came a long ways too, not to mention his little brother Stud Muffin. I firmly believe there is no better trainer out there than Mary and no better facility than Lucky Dog Company. Hope to see you there.

I am deeply disappointed with the care provided at this facility. The lack of empathy, clear…read moreunderstaffing, and complete disregard for the well-being of pets are shocking and heartbreaking. Our two puppies, Cava and Sofi, suffered terribly during their stay, leaving us devastated and questioning how this facility is allowed to operate. We entrusted this facility with our perfectly healthy, happy puppies, and they were returned to us in horrifying condition. We were instructed to bring our pets in harnesses and collars for easier handling but were never informed that these would remain on them for the entire week. When we picked up Cava, I was horrified to find her harness had dug into her fur, creating painful open wounds in multiple places on her body. I had to peel it off her, and it was clear she had endured immense suffering. Both Cava and Sofi were shaken, traumatized, and clearly unwell when we brought them home. Cava has been vomiting her meals and experiencing persistent diarrhea, while Sofi, who was also perfectly healthy before her stay, is now suffering from vomiting, diarrhea, and a persistent cough. Their physical suffering and visible distress make it abundantly clear they were not given even basic care during their time at this facility. To add to this nightmare, I provided clear feeding instructions and more than enough food for their stay, yet the facility somehow "ran out" of the food I brought. They then had the audacity to try to charge us extra to feed our puppies from their own supply. This blatant mishandling of such a simple responsibility is just another example of their incompetence and disregard for the animals in their care. Adding insult to injury, we now face costly veterinary bills to address the harm done to our puppies. When we approached the facility about a refund, they only agreed to provide a partial refund, which is unacceptable given the mistreatment our puppies endured and the complete breach of trust between us and the facility. This gesture falls far short of what is necessary to make this situation right, both financially and morally. This review is intended as a word of caution for anyone considering this facility in the future. The lack of communication, proper staffing, and basic empathy for the animals in their care is inexcusable. Shame on this facility for neglecting the very pets they are entrusted to care for. I urge management to take immediate action to address these issues--no pet or pet owner should ever have to go through this kind of heartbreak.

That demonstrates a lot of care not only for the business but relationships. She listened, understood the situation and worked to resolve the situation. Kudos for accountability and a lovely professional demeanor. I like the trainer Loyda who was very successful with gaining rapid improvements with my dog Kalie and highly recommend her. The trainers should be autonomous to decide the next steps of progression and micro managing reduces client confidence. All In all, Ruffgers does give a better effort than any other place I've been in the Lee and Collier areas for dog day care and that's not an easy achievement.

When we got them back they went from completely untrained to trained in every way! Door manners, in the car, on the leash, and other basic commands, you name it!

It was awesome knowing they were with people who knew them and loved them. Our dog Charlie ran and jumped in the lake immediately! Happy as can be. A huge shoutout to Derrick! When our son was born 4 weeks early he went out of his way to pick our dogs up when we were stuck at the hospital. He truly loves the dogs and cares about the families. You can tell this is his passion and it shows through his work! Lastly, Anthony has been fantastic to work with throughout too! Due to him and Derrick we will continue bringing our dogs back here when we need boarding knowing they are in the BEST hands.

Life-Changing Dog Training--Seriously!…read more I waited a full month before writing this review because I wanted to be sure the changes we saw weren't just a fluke. Now, I can confidently say: Patrick and the Bark Busters program are nothing short of incredible. If you read nothing else--just know this: Patrick is the real deal. From the moment he stepped into our home, everything started to shift. He gave us tools, guidance, and insight that immediately began to transform our household. And here's the critical takeaway: Patrick will show you the way--but you have to do the work. There's no shortcut, no magic wand. The key is consistency. You'll be amazed at what you and your dog can accomplish with daily, intentional effort. If you're struggling--whether your dog is a puppy or a seasoned adult--pick up the phone and call Patrick. We have two Labrador Retrievers: one is 3 years old, the other just 8 months. We thought our older dog was well-behaved because he was calm... until we learned what calm really means. Meanwhile, our puppy was an adorable whirlwind--jumping, barking at the door, and definitely not ready to meet his older sibling. We knew we needed help, and fast. Enter Patrick. In just minutes, he had us "speaking dog." No gimmicks, no harsh discipline--just firm, clear leadership. Our puppy's behavior began to shift before our eyes. By the end of that first session, we were stunned. We felt more confident. The house felt calmer. The dogs were listening. Now, don't get me wrong--this isn't passive training. There's homework, every single day. In fact, every interaction becomes part of the training. But it's worth it. The results speak for themselves. And Patrick is always just a call or text away for support, clarification, or encouragement. One month in, and we have a completely different experience with our dogs. The puppy and the older dog are now peacefully coexisting--playing, lounging, and even responding calmly to the doorbell. We've established boundaries, learned to lead with confidence, and--maybe most surprisingly--realized our older dog wasn't quite the angel we thought. (Thanks, Patrick, for gently pointing that out in your follow-up visit!) Our new mission: bulletproof recall and calm, confident behavior in public. And thanks to Patrick, we're well on our way. If you're thinking about reaching out--stop thinking and just do it. Bark Busters and Patrick have given us tools that truly work, and a better relationship with our dogs. Whatever challenge you're facing, I honestly believe they can help.

Stay away from this dog training company! I contacted Bark Busters and set up an initial visit…read more This cost $300 whether or not you decide to use their service. I was scheduled with Patrick at the end of June. Due to their schedule I had to book it a month later. Well, Patrick came to my home. He is a very nice man, who thought he was the end all to training. Okay, I listened, he started out with the owner has to be the alpha dog. He actually said that dogs do not understand when we speak to them all they understand is "BARK". He claims that's how the converse with other dogs and this how we need to converse with them. I disagreed. I could believe this man and how he became a trainer. Anyone who has a dog knows they understand us. Patrick stated all I have to do was say "BARK at a normal voice and if they do not listen to say "BARK!!!" using a deep, strong, loud voice. I continued to disagree with him. Patrick stated we should part ways. I believe I should get my fee of $300 back. Especially since he would not offer their services. Patrick offered to send me some videos to help me with corrective training. I never received them. Oh by the way, Patrick stated he is the number one dog trainer in the area. He has a website don't remember the site but just put in search engine Patrick Dog Busters. I am amazed that this company is still in business and anyone would use them. Hoping they return will my deposit due to how ridiculous the initial visit, what a joke.
