I can only give Mike five stars, but I wish I could give him more. He has been so helpful on our dogs journey. He responds to our calls and messages, questions, concerns… His talent and understanding is undeniable. Thank you Mike!!!!

Michael is a super trainer! He helped us and most importantly our almost 4 yr. old beagle learn, w/ a special collar and his expertise,to stop pulling hard and dashing about when on leash. We are in our 80’s and need her to stop.

Mike was amazing with both my 8 lb yorkie and my 100 lb rescue mix. The dogs responded to his methods immediately and I already can see a difference in their temperaments in an extremely positive way.

Mike was excellent! After just one session, I was able to see results for my dog who had previously struggled with fear and anxiety around strangers. Plus, no more leash pulling thanks to Mike's tricks! He's not just about training dogs, he's all about helping you understand and communicate better with your dog. The best part about his method is that there are no harsh tactics or treat bribery involved. Mike is very knowledgeable and always available. Would highly recommend to anyone, specially new dog owners. Looking forward to working with him so I can have a healthier relationship with my dog!

Cassidy is a miracle worker! My two year old Shih Tzu had suffered from anxiety and aggression towards people and other pets since he was a puppy. Within the first 20 minutes of training I noticed such an improvement in his behavior that I was genuinely shocked. I never would have expected my dog to respond so well to the training. Everyday I continue to see such great progress from him and its been less than a week since meeting Cassidy. Bark Busters is amazing and made me see how my dog and I can live in a happy environment. I honestly cannot stop saying amazing things about Bark Busters and my experience.

Fairfield Connecticut has its very own dog whisperer. Michael is the absolute BEST! He was first recommended to us via a friend and then through a quick Facebook search on behavioral dog trainers, and we couldn't be happier that we were led his way. First off, he's a great guy. He's funny, personable, helpful and genuinely wants the best for you and your dog. Our first session was 3 hours long and so informative. It helped us recognize the role we played in regards to our dog's behavior. At the end of this session, he had our dog responsive to his techniques and, therefore, calmer in general. We had homework to do and Mike was always accessible with any questions/concerns we had. His response time was incredible. We are gradually addressing our concerns and the second session was equally as productive with our dog minimizing his aggression towards other dogs within a few exercises. It is truly unlike anything we could've imagined and our expectations have indeed been surpassed. Our dog is no longer furry and furious nor is he bouncing from the windows to the walls, he is becoming the pet we always knew he could be. We are so grateful for Michael and the bark busters techniques and couldn't recommend him enough.

Mike is by far the most knowledgeable dog trainer I have ever worked with (and I have had more than a few over the years). Within the first session I noticed astounding positive change in my dog’s behavior in the house as well as in public. Mike is always available when I need him, whether it be over text/email, over a quick call, or in person. He has even helped me with dietary and allergy advice for my dog. After working with Mike, not only has he taught me how to make my dog understand what I need, but he has made me understand what she needs to be a happy, respectful companion. She is truly happier than ever. I cannot thank Mike enough!!!

I just had one session with Mike and I am now sitting on my couch completely mind blown!?. My two dogs constantly jumped on people (and me when I came home), barked at every dog or person that walked by and severely begged for food, they were practically on my plate. In one session Mike put an end to all of those behaviors. My youngest dog is only a year old and was a freaking maniac and now I’m looking at this well behaved one year old dog in disbelief. I don’t know how Mike does it but he did and he also gave me the tools that I need to maintain the training. I can’t say enough good things about Mike and his ability to change the lives of dogs and their owners so quickly. He’s worth every penny!! Thank you Mike, you are truly amazing.

We are the parents of four dogs, 3 rescues, ages 2 to 5, and a ten-year-old Yorkshire Terrier. Earlier this year we adopted our three rescue dogs and fortunately the dogs all get along wonderfully.The problem was that there were various disciplinary issues including excessive barking.We contacted Cassidy at Bark Busters to make an appointment for a visit to our house. She arrived promptly at the agreed-upon time. After a brief introductory meeting, Cassidy began what I can only describe as a magical experience. Within a few minutes we saw results. Cassidy’s method is to train US to communicate with our dogs in THEIR language. After three hours, Cassidy left so that we could begin our “adventure.” It was and is truly unbelievable. Cassidy was amazing with us and our dogs.It is now several days later and we are so thrilled. We have follow-up appointments to reinforce our newly learned skills and improve on other aspects of our dogs’ lives.We highly recommend Cassidy at Bark Busters in Stamford. We are looking forward to continuing to work with her and from our results so far, if you choose to work with Cassidy, we are sure this too will change your life!

Michael Konstantaras recently changed my life by helping me to adopt a dog that was in need of a home that was not in a city life. With Michael’s guidance he’s helped Teddy settle into our home and become a wonderful new member of our family. It’s been six weeks now and michael’s training and guidance have invaluable! Thank you so very much Michael, the Boos family.

We are very happy that we invited Mike into our home to help with our 3 year old labradoodle Amaya and our 3 month old Old English Sheepdog Oakley. Mike is very professional and came with a wealth of knowledge and experience. He was able to immediately connect with our dogs and stop Amaya from charging the front door and Oakley picking up everything on the floor. He has a fun and respectful teaching style and taught my family so much in the first session. We look forward to working on what Mike taught us and having a healthier relationship with our dogs! We highly recommend Mike and his training!

THE BEST, I wish I could leave 10 stars! Mike is top notch, and took amazing care of my pup. Mikes knowledge, professionalism, and overall care for dogs is unmatched. I’m leaving this review some time after our interaction and am here to testify to everyone reading this that Mikes methods work! Listening and implementing Mike’s teachings is priceless. Mike has become my “google” and has helped me with many questions and concerns I had regarding my pup. Great experience, amazing help, and an even better person!! Someone give this guy his own tv show.

I have worked with Mike for 9 years and this time I needed his help with something much different. Yesterday we had to put our 14+ year dog down. Not only did my family lose a companion we have had for so long but our 9 year old pup lost his buddy. I immediately thought to call Mike to ask for his guidance on how to help not only us but our dog get through this loss. As always, Mike was available to help us. He gave us tools and tips to help us. When I first began using Mike he said “I am here for the life of your dog and beyond.” He meant it then and meant it now! I can’t thank you enough for all you have done through the years and let alone yesterday. I wish I could give more stars than just 5. My wife and I fully endorse Mike and want people to know he will help you with tools to get through everything you have challenges with your dog. We have begun the adoption process again and I can say with 100% certainty, Mike will help us again! Thank you so kuch!

Cassidy is amazing!! Our puppy was very difficult to deal with before we called Cassidy. She is an incredible teacher and trainer. I appreciate all that she has done to teach us how to deal with our dog and train her so we can go on walks and feel comfortable. We highly recommend Cassidy if you are having issues training your dog!

Cassidy has been amazing to work with! She has helped us with our pack of three energetic dogs. We recently rescued Moose, a small but mighty dachshund, and the pack needed major training. We’ve only had two sessions so far but have seen significant improvement in their behaviors and overall pack dynamic (barking, jumping etc.) The Bark Busters team is extremely knowledgeable and tailors their approach based on various behaviors that need to be corrected. We’re excited to continue training with Cassidy!
