Dog Training Review

Does anyone have a review of BarkBusters trainers/techniques?

For those of you out there who don't know, Barkbusters is a website that has a method of training dogs. They claim to be the largest trainers in the nation and have "certified" trainers all over the nation. They have a lifetime guarentee and once you pay for the service, you have the trainer for the life of you dog. Anyone try them? If so, how were the results?

I think they are a crock.

There was a big article in the paper here about this guy who had a BarkBuster franchise and how he was a "certified dog trainer and behaviorist". It went on to say he bought the franchise and attended the 3 week "intensive" training that qualified him to apply their special training techniques.

I wanted to vomit.

Our newspaper gave this quack free adverstising as an "expert" after 3 weeks of training.

I've been involved with rescue for over 10 years. I've had multiple dogs my entire life. I volunteer with an organization that trains service dogs for people with disabilities.

Compared this this guy, I'm a Ph.d. In reality, I'm fairly dog savy. I'm no expert... I just have a lot of experience, I read, I listen, I practice, I keep learning and I'm smart enough to know I don't know everything.

Make sense?

Find someone with tons of experience. Ask your vet, your friends, and who the shelters and rescues in the area recommend. That's usually a good start. Then get referrals. Please stay away from franchises of so called "experts" like that. It's like the McDonald's of Training. Yuck...
