Micheal is awesome I learned a lot from his visit to my house. I truly learned a lot from what he was teaching. By the time he left, my dog was a completely different animal.

If you want results after only one session, I strongly recommend hiring Mike. Mike is exceptional at what he does. After three failed attempts with other dog trainers, he was our last hope. He took the time to ask important questions in order to gain a sense of the household dynamics. Mike also took the time to educate us on our dog's behavior and how to best address the issues at hand. We learned how to implement boundaries with our dogs to help them feel secure and safe which in turn eliminated unwanted behaviors (excessive barking/nipping at others) He provided us with tools and confidence to continue the training on our own: Mike was with us throughout the entire process and always checking in on progress made. Mike's passion for dogs is evident in his work and his knowledge and experience is reflective in his skills. Don't waste anymore time and call Mike today!!!

Mike has changed not only our dog’s lives but all of our lives! We got our rescues a few months apart they were getting along great for the first month and a half and then we started having issues. I didn’t think this could be corrected I was living in fear walking on eggshells and not sleeping. Mike is truly a miracle worker he taught me so many things I never knew about dogs and people. I’ve had dogs my whole life and never knew any of this! He took his time with us and didn’t rush us and explained everything that he was doing and the reasons for it. He answered all of our questions. If I were to text him about anything he would call me back immediately. He came back for a follow up visit and spent more time with us. I don’t think there’s anyone else in this world that can help you And your dogs better than Mike. God bless you Mike!

We can’t thank Mike enough! He made time for us on such short notice when our English Staffy, Jade, developed severe separation anxiety. She had become completely attached to me — following me everywhere, refusing to engage with my husband and kids, and even disassociating when I wasn’t home. Mike is truly passionate about what he does, and it shows in every minute of his work. In just a single 3-hour session, he shared what felt like over 10 hours’ worth of expertise. One of the most eye-opening things we learned was that the intense bond Jade and I created was actually being perpetuated by my own responses to her behavior — something I had been completely unaware of. His technique is incredibly effective: by the end of the session, we were already seeing a positive shift in Jade’s behavior. We left with clear homework for the next 10 days to 5 weeks and, more importantly, real confidence that we can correct these issues for good and help Jade feel balanced and happy again. If you’re struggling with behavioral challenges, I highly recommend Mike and Bark Busters. His deep knowledge, patience, and genuine passion truly make a difference!

We just had our first session with Cassidy and the results are dramatic! Our two dogs are now capable of sitting calmly when a stranger rings the doorbell and comes into the house! I wouldn’t have thought it was possible in only one session. Next week is walking on a leash, and I can’t wait to see what kind of progress we can make. I am so happy with Cassidy and Bark Busters and would completely recommend them to all dog owners out there!
