After the birth of my children, I kind of let myself go. I became somewhat unrecognizable. I had…read morethe motivation, of course to live for my children but nothing I tried as far as working out seemed to "work out" for me. January of this year I found Charlie! Charlie is not only a great personal trainer but he's just a great person overall. He's more than a trainer he's a life coach, he helps with nutritional decisions, and he's encouraging! I lost 15 lbs in less than two months. I'm starting to feel like myself again. I already have more energy, more focus, and more drive. I highly recommend Charlie P. Not only did I find a great trainer, but I found a great friend!

I cannot thank Doug enough for his help in teaching me to be the best Pawrent to Zahra. His…read moreconstant coaching and support, plus the tools provided have been a godsend to us. After the very first visit, I was astonished and how well my 6-month-old Golden Retriever responded. I went from being frustrated and, honestly, disappointed in myself, to one of hope and excitement for our future. It is some of the best money I've spent. It was an investment that has give me a return of more than I could have ever dreamed of. I know that I have Doug's support throughout Zahra's lifetime and that, to me, is priceless. In my opinion, you will find none better than Doug with Bark Busters. Zahra and I are forever grateful we found him through the recommendation of my nephew, who used Doug for help with his Giant Schnauzer. You will not be disappointed, I can promise you that!

WORTH EVERY PENNY AND ASTONISHINGLY FAST!…read more Doug Rountree with Bark Busters of Louisville is fantastic! In the first hour, he completely changed the way we interact with our dog. Before we began the training, our puppy was lovable but demanding and thought she was in charge of our whole family. Practically 90% of her behavior problems (like mouthing/biting, barking, jumping on people, pulling) are virtually gone in less than a day! The rest are already much improved and I'm sure those will continue to get better as we reinforce our expectations with her. Our home is a much more peaceful, enjoyable place and our pup definitely seems happier and less stressed now that we have set clear, consistent rules in a language that she can understand. I love that it's done without treats or physical correction but instead uses how dogs naturally communicate to change behavior. Thank you Doug!

Best petsitter anyone could ever ask for! Michelle, owner of Got2Petsit, has stayed with our 7,…read moreyes... I said 7, little dogs numerous times and she is absolutely amazing! Our dogs range in ages from 8 months old to 17 years old. Not only does she excel at keeping all of our littles well taken care of with care that's tailored to each of their individual needs, but she also works with training them, she sends us several daily reports with photos and videos, she's always available for us to get ahold of if needed, she gets our mail and packages, she keeps our house safe and clean, and the icing on the cake is that she spoils our babies with LOTS of love! Michelle has taken them out for adventures, car rides, walks, pup cups, the list could go on and on! Most recently our 17 year old shihpoo became sick with stomach issues while we were out of town and Michelle gave her genuine mother's love! She went to our vet to pick up prescriptions and administered medication. She had to do lots of cleaning and laundry due to the illness. We trust Michelle with all of our dogs care and everything in our home to the fullest ! We will never use anyone else! If it weren't for Michelle we wouldn't be able to take time away for a vacation. She puts our hearts and minds at ease to be able to enjoy ourselves worry free. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Got2Petsit!

6/4/22- Here's my review of Artisan Dog Training (Adam)…read more Adam spent 2-months on my Dutch Shepherd correcting problem areas & teaching good obedience.  Initially I wanted to focus on this and that for Cassie, but I was going about it the wrong way. Initially during a few 1-hr sessions, I saw Adam's mastery in action almost instantly.  I realized that  weekly 1-hr classes weren't cutting it, and that month-long bootcamps were MUCH better for my hyper Dutch Shepherd. She was hyper, wouldn't listen, had obedience issues, beginning to be destructive, and VERY unsocialized (frightened of people!).  Not good for a Dutch Shepherd puppy of 3-months!! During the 2-month bootcamp, Adam first established a framework to FOCUS my dog's attention by establishing trust & communication which doesn't happen overnight.  This takes time, but KEY to garner my dog's obedience. Once done, Adam was able to unlock my dog's potential & focus on obedience training for her to be a good citizen. These are the things Adam worked on with Cassie: - Corrected bad behavior (jumping, biting/nipping) - Basic Commands (come, heel, down, wait...etc) - On/off leash activities (verbal/non-verbal commands) - MAJOR work on socialization (people, dogs) My lack of understanding how to socialize my puppy had drastic effects on her.  She would cower behind me or pull away strongly when meeting strangers.  Fixing this took more than just going to PetSmart for socialization.  She needed to focus first, understand that strangers were normal.  Again, Adam worked pretty hard on this. Result: My hyper Dutch Shepherd was much more manageable, no longer jumped on me or would bite thinking it was play.  She also learned how to potty on command & her socialization improved GREATLY compared to before!  Now I have to do "my part" to reinforce this training & make this permanent.

I highly recommend Stonnie's online puppy classes…read more We never met Stonnie in person but he replies to all our inquiries really fast. His instructional videos are very educational and his program is very informative. We started seeing results within one week of doing his online puppy program. His online puppy classes is beneficial to our family. Our pup, Newton is healthy, happy and on his way to be a well-behaved dog. With Stonnie's program we solved jumping to people, counter surfing, excited urination and pulling. Our pup doesn't chew our sofa, socks and remote control! He only plays/chews on appropriate objects. Thanks to Stonnie! Getting this puppy program is so worth it!
