"I've noticed your negative comments regarding Bark Busters training method in several of your posts. Was the problem actually Bark Busters? Or, was the problem your inability to understand canine psychology, communication, and education? After all, they have trained over 350,000 dogs successfully...and, look at their website and the thousands of testimonials indicating how impressive their trainers and results have been for dog owners all over the US.My neighbor has a GSP...they used Bark Busters and their dog has been AMAZING ever since. He says the method is absolutely not based on intimidation or fear, and that in fact the method is based on a very humane, non-physical verbal correction, then LOTS of guidance and praise.I wonder why your experience was different?... - Anonymous"
Because I am different and my dogs are different we had a different experience. My dog was terrified by their training technique of throwing a corrective aid (a piece of chain) close to him. Bark Busters may well work for others, but it was my experience that it did not work for Skooter. Relationship based training is what worked for Skooter. Training built on trust. That again, was MY experience with training my dog. - Sam

Dog Training for the most part is training the people, not so much the dog. Dogs behaviours are based to a large degree on instinct. People who humanize their dogs, attaching human perpectives, only confuse a dog. Dogs are not people, so when you don't approach from the way the dog understands, you will have limited results. In the wild, there are not dogs treating other dogs for behaviour, nor is the physical element of picking up and holding back present, which is something most other dog training is all about. My best results where with Bark Busters, and I have had dogs all my life.
