I have two rescue dogs that were adopted 2 years apart. Both are female Chihuahua mixed breeds. The youngest, under 1 year, had major trust issues, we couldn't even pet her or pick her up after 4 months of her living with us. After 1 visit with Connie she was allowing us to pet her and love on her. Our 5 year old is an obnoxious barker that again Connie was able to help us with right away. Any loud noise and she'd bark but not anymore. We are only two visits, and one email into our training and I'm loving the results. Connie is honest and straightforward. I completely trust her and highly recommend her. I'm thankful we found her.

We wondered at first what we would get from the training process but Connie connected with our German Shepard mix George right away . She has changed his negative behaviors almost overnight and helped him to become a really good boy without having to resort to any kind of negative training regiment . She is great and George is doing really well so we would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pup . Thanks Connie! Jim & Jeane from Bothell

Connie du Bois is great. She obviously loves & understands dogs. She’s easy to talk with, really listens and is a great problem solver. We highly recommend Connie & Bark Busters. We called Bark Busters because our cute, loveable Yorkies were out of control. Dash & Annie barked at the door, in the car, everywhere! Walks were terrible when they met people or other dogs. We’ve always had dogs. In the 1990’s we took our Yorkies with us for a six-month stay in Germany. They were great in restaurants, parks, stores and hotels. So why couldn’t we manage these two now? How frustrating. To start Connie asked what we wanted to change, what bothered us most. During the next 2 ½ hours, she observed us in different situations at home and outside on walks. She said we confused Dash & Annie by treating them too much like children. She explained dogs are wired to be part of a pack with a strong leader. If Dash & Annie felt no one was in charge, then they had to step up to the job. Barking was one way to dominate & protect their environment. Sounds simple & we already knew dogs were pack animals, but Connie made it relevant. She showed us how to establish limits for acceptable behavior and how to enforce them consistently. The key is Connie trains owners and dogs, not just dogs. She’s dedicated to creating good outcomes. She really wants us to succeed. Connie is always gentle but firm with our dogs. Punishment isn’t part of the program. Because she knows dogs so well, she approaches each problem in a positive manner and rewards good behavior. Another reason Bark Busters is so effective is it’s not a classroom setting with fixed dates and generalized answers. Instead they make it personal. Connie came to us to solve our problems. She always explained what worked best and why, but was realistic and flexible too. Connie showed us how to be in charge by setting limits and rewarding good behavior. It works. We’re so pleased with Dash & Annie. Connie’s just great!
