My dog, Siggy, a highly anxious dog, did not obey my commands. She pulled at her leash, barked at strangers, and was terrified of nearly everything. Trying a treat-based approach did not work for me. Michael showed me that a bit of leadership and guidance is what Siggy really needed. He gave me a few exercises to try out and within minutes, Siggy responded positively. She now miraculously walks without pulling at the leash. She is gaining more confidence, and I truly believe that with more patience and training, she can overcome her anxiety. Walking her is now a pleasure for both of us. What a difference that makes! I cannot recommend Michael enough. Let him work his magic with your dog and you'll be amazed at the difference.

If you love your dog and you care about its wellbeing, please take the time to read this review…read more Last year, we decided to give Barkbuster a try because we were at our wits end with our dog and this company had great reviews and seemed promising. We contacted Graham who assured us that there would be no use of physical force on the dog (i.e. prong collars, choke collars, etc.) and we felt confident he could help us. What he failed to mention is that his method uses dominance and negative reinforcement to get a result. (i.e throwing a puck towards your dog and growling at it multiple times until you ''break'' the bad habit) While I am sure that this method can work on some dogs, I really do not recommend it on any dog who already suffers from anxiety and is insecure. After just one session with Barkbuster, our dog went from having small insecurities to full out recoiling, hiding from us and even growling at us. For the first time since adopting her, I was afraid she might snap at or even bite us. It took some time before she became her loving self again. Although I appreciated Graham's approach on nutrition and crating, I urge you to take the time to research properly what kind of training/trainer is best suited for you and especially for your dog

I was skeptical about hiring bark busters because of the negative review below, but after inquiring…read moremore, I realized this was the rare (only) bad review I could find! Graham from Bark Busters came over and spent 4 hours at our appartement. During this time, he went over everything possible, starting from the origins of dogs, to the food they should actually eat, to the vet they should see, to actually correcting many bad habits our dog had. He was extremely patient and answered ALL of my questions thoroughly, in no hurry whatsoever. Yes we used the pucks and yes we used the growling sounds, but boy did those things work! We also practised how to properly walk our dog, which involved no growling or pucks! It came out to about $700, which includes a lifetime guarantee. If a bad habit comes back - so does the trainer. If you move somewhere else and your dog barks at the new doorbell - the trainer comes back. If you move to a new city/province/country and need help with new behaviours - the trainer comes back. Given the amount of knowledge Graham has and how transparent he is in his recommendations, I considered the price a nice bargain! I would not hesitate to recommend Graham from Bark Busters to anybody that has any issues with their dogs at all. In fact, I would recommend him even to people who don't have any issues with there dogs! There are so many misconceptions about dogs in the food and vet industry, it's great to hear an unbiased opinion on them. Thank you Graham, and we'll see you soon!

When we brought home our Belgian/ German Shepherd (Ralf) we knew that we wanted to get into…read moretraining with him at any early age given that Ralf was going to be a large dog and full of energy. What we were unaware of was the difference between a Belgium and a German Shepard. We soon found out as per the description of a Belgium Shepard, they exhibit energy levels that are among the highest of all dog breeds. Furthermore, they can have puppy-like energy until the age of three, though it is not uncommon for them to exhibit this energy level until the age of five. That was Ralf. We looked into many training options but found that Gaby Popper's methods and approach made the most sense, we wanted a happy dog but also a dog who worked with us to maintain a balance in the home, and that is what we have. From the beginning Gaby was clear on what he expected from us and from Ralf and worked closely with us to ensure that the results that we wanted could happen. Ralf responded to Gaby in such a positive way which helped give us the confidence in both our ability to train Ralf to be the best dog that he could be but also established a trust between Ralf and ourselves which laid the foundations for success. Ralf wanted to learn, he loved his training sessions and responded well to the methods put in place. We could not be more grateful for Gaby's help and guidance, we now have a very happy dog who understands his place in the home, who listens, follows instructions, respect the boundaries set and the love and affection that he gives us is a direct result of being content in his environment. In addition, we have taken a very similar approach with our existing dog who is also now much happier with the new structure in place. We would highly recommend Gaby Popper and his Montreal Dog Training School. We are looking forward to attending the group sessions.
