Default Bark Busters in The Villages

We used them in Las Vegas with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. After one lesson we quit the program (which at least in LV must be paid in full upfront.). Our poor dog was terrorized, and it took him several weeks to recover. If I had it to do again I would ask myself what the goal of the training should be. There are other forms you might want to investigate as well.

I'm sure there are many successful cases here, and you should take what they say into account as well. Our experience is likely in the minority.
