I'M MICHAEL KONSTANTARAS, 2021 BARK BUSTERS DOG TRAINER & DOG BEHAVIORAL
THERAPIST OF THE YEAR!

For the past 15 years, I have helped my clients become "the leader of their
pack" using dog-friendly, non-food based techniques. My experience working with
literally thousands of dogs of all breeds will help me get you and your dog on
the same page and live the happy, peaceful life together that both/all of you
want.

I will help you build a loving, respectful relationship with your dog, and
address any behavioral issues without using physical force or doing anything
harmful ever to your dog. This will also be achieved without treats. NO
SHOCK/PRONG COLLARS OR HARMFUL TECHNIQUES ARE EVER USED BY ME. My goal is for
your dog to love and respect you, not fear you.

I will work with you addressing dog behavior issues such as housebreaking,
separation anxiety, aggression, jumping up, puppy nipping, walking on
leash/leash reactivity, and much more. It's never too early or too late to start
training with me. From puppies 8-weeks-old to any behavioral issue with adult
dogs of any age or breed, I can help you.

You'll be amazed at what your dog will be able to do once you learn to "speak
dog".

Please take a moment to read some of my client reviews. These are all real
people with true stories (personal references available on request).

about Cassidy below!

MY DOG TRAINING & PUPPY TRAINING SERVICES

In-Home Dog & Puppy Training: I come to you! Your home, yard, and neighborhood
are where most dog's issues occur. This is why it's best to start in these
locations. I also do off-site lessons in places such as Downtown Stamford,
restaurants, the mall, etc. to help socialize your dog properly in public
environments. My training will include small group socialization walks to get
your pup walking calmly and under your control in highly distractive
environments in the presence of other dogs, cars, bicycles, people, children,
etc.

I will effectively address any issue you may have including: aggression,
housebreaking, jumping on visitors, nuisance barking, getting into the garbage
can, demanding attention or bothering family members and guests, fighting
between dogs in the same home, separation anxiety, walking on leash, and much
more. I start in the home but all outdoor training is included too! Being in a
familiar environment where there's nothing competing for your dog's attention
enables us to address the dog obedience issues very quickly. In fact, it's very
common for clients to see results with dog behavioral issues in the first 20
minutes! I will work by your side so that you play a big role in shaping your
dog's behavior to the way you want it to be.

Personalized Dog Training Programs: No "one size fits all" group dog training or
puppy training classes. I develop a personalized one-on-one program for you
based on your dog's particular personality and your goals. 

Positive Dog Training: No shock collars, choke collars, pinning, alpha rolling,
or being harmful to your dog ever! By using Bark Busters' unique training
techniques, I can help you address any behavioral issue. Results will also be
achieved without the use of treats! Our dog training focuses on using dogs'
natural instincts to work toward a win-win situation for you and your dog.
Trust, clear communication, and understanding produces longer-lasting results
than treat training or physical force.

Effective Dog Training: You will learn more in our first training lesson and get
better results than in group classes that last several weeks. You'll be amazed
at what your dog will be able to do once you learn to "speak dog".

Speak Dog: Dogs don't understand English any better than Italian. It's no wonder
they can't immediately understand your verbal commands. You should learn your
dog's language, not the other way around. This is especially true if your dog is
stressed or seems resistant to what you have already tried. I will teach you to
communicate using the language your dog already understands. You will learn how
to use your body language and voice tones to get your dog to focus on you and
respond to your directions. It's really amazing for both you and your dog when
you can finally understand what each other wants!

New Dog Adoption: Adoption is at an all time high, which is great! I have helped
countless families welcome their newly adopted puppy or adult dog to their home.
Not all dogs (unfortunately) have had the best experiences before you adopt
them. I will help your new canine companion adjust to your home and establish
that calm, balanced environment that you both desire.

Our training is ideal for the following issues:

 * Aggression
 * Attention demanding
 * Barking
 * Basic obedience commands (come, sit, stay, leave it, drop it, fetch, etc.)
 * Begging
 * Biting
 * Chewing
 * Digging
 * Housebreaking
 * Jumping
 * Leash pulling
 * Marking
 * Running away
 * Separation anxiety
 * Sibling rivalry - tensions / fights with other dogs in the household
 * Respecting cats or other pets
 * Focus & listening
 * Improving confidence
 * Not rushing the door, visitors or kids
 * Preparing for a new baby or a change in address
 * And much more!

Have Michael come speak at your office, school, or next event:

I routinely speak at vet offices, schools, animal shelters, town and city
meetings and various other forums on such topics as General Dog Behavior,
Aggression, Dog Safety in the Workplace, Puppy Behavior, Adoption, or any
dog-related topic of your choice. Call me at (877) 500-2275 for more
information.

CASSIDY LEWIS, EXPERT DOG TRAINER & DOG BEHAVIORIAL THERAPIST:



I’ve always had a love for animals and have found they would also gravitate to
me. If you're reading my bio, then you'll probably agree there's nothing like
the companionship of a dog. We also know that when these companions have
behavioral issues, it can really upset the entire home. Having official Bark
Busters certification, and having worked with Michael the last five years, I
have learned the skills and techniques to help you address any behavioral issue,
with any breed, at any age.  From new puppies, to dogs well over 10 years old,
it's never too early or too late to start.  I will work by your side, in your
home, and in your community to get your pup to view you as your family's leader.
Once you learn how to communicate with your dog in a way your dog understands,
you will both live a more happy and peaceful life together.  All of this will be
achieved WITHOUT unnecessary treats or doing anything harmful to your dog (NO
SHOCK/PRONG COLLARS/BEING PHYSICAL EVER).

When your dog trusts you and can communicate clearly with you, your bond will
grow even more! Every day I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to help so
many people build the relationship with their dog of which they have always
dreamed.


CLIENT REVIEWS

I had been looking for a trainer to help me with my dog. My dog is super special
he's a service dog. And because of this 99% of the trainers I talked to said NO!
They wouldn't even look at him because they didn't want the liability. That
being said let me give you some history I have a 4.5 year old German Shepard/
Rhodesian ridge back, I got him at...

Sam N | New Milford, Connecticut

When we met Mike at Bark Busters we were HIGHLY impressed. He has opened our
eyes to look at our dogs in a completely different light. He has enlightened us
to understand certain behaviors and provided us with techniques that showed
immediate results. We consider ourselves very lucky to have 2 amazing dogs, but
we also knew there were things that w...

Julita J | Stamford, Connecticut

Our dog Jersey had several major medical procedures done in a short amount of
time and as a result developed a fear of people and began to nip if you went
near an area that had been worked on by the vet. This new behavior was not the
fun loving dog that we knew Jersey was and we reached out to Michael. Michael
was great and easy to work with. Be...

Jessica W | Stratford, Connecticut

I had originally called Michael to help us introduce a foster dog into our home
in hopes that they would get along and I would be able to adopt. My dogs were
not well socialized and Tuck my mastiff/pit mix being over 130 lbs made me
nervous as the new dog was only 40 lbs.. I met Mike in the driveway and was
literally crying because I was scared it...

Jackie & Anthony T | Norwalk, Connecticut

Our experience with Mike Konstantaras is one that can only be described as
outstanding!! We have a 1 year old American bulldog that is 100 pounds & still
growing. He has been controlling our house, our lives & has made it impossible
to have guests over without everyone feeling nervous! I'll admit that I was
skeptical of what Mike told me he could...

Susan T | Easton, Connecticut

We hired Michael to help us with our 8 year old Mini Dachshund named Ben. He
struggles with poor listening skills, anxiety and some aggression toward dogs
he's never met. He was bitten a few times in the past and this exacerbated his
problems. He was becoming more and more stubborn, wasn't listening to our
commands, and becoming nasty with other...

Wendy L | Fairfield, Connecticut

After speaking with many different trainers about their style and having some of
them come to meet Bronx (aka Bronco), I was told he is a "red zone" dog, a
liability, and should be put down. My heart could not accept this because I know
he wants to be a good boy. Two days later I was on the phone with Michael,
again, and two days after that Michae...

Dawn B | Shelton, Connecticut

My husband and I finally met with Michael from Bark Busters yesterday, all we
can say is WOW! We actually waited 3 months for our appointment because he was
so booked out but it was so worth it!!! We have tried many trainers with our
dogs at our home and even brining them places. It was really nice having him
come to the house and see our situation...

Nicola R | Stamford, Connecticut

My husband and I contacted Mike when we picked up our first puppy, Lemmy. I had
grown up with a family dog and my husband had never had a dog. While I grew up
with a dog, I had not been involved in the training aspect whatsoever. Both of
us are pretty inexperienced. Lemmy is a rescue, we got her when she was only
about 4 months old. Lemmy was over...
