Training was amazing, we learned a lot of new useful techniques that will help Suki be the beast! Amazing instruction and results!!!
I learned how to get Beau's attention and how to hold it. I also learned the firm no / loving praise!
The training session was so helpful and made so much sense. John is an amazing behavioral trainer and so very knowledgeable. We felt heard and our issues were completely addressed.
John was great! It was a very productive session.
John is amazing!
Our experience was so helpful - I feel like we gained so many new skills to resolve the issues with our dogs, the dynamics, and establish leadership in a confident way. I feel hopeful and see the path forward which feels so good to say after living in such stress for 2 years.
Everything I had problems with was addressed. Time spent working with Bruno was great!
John had a wealth of knowledge for us. We saw an improvement on the first night of training. We are so looking forward to well-behaved dogs.
It was a productive traning session. We learned leash training setting boundaries and overall leadership. Orlando was a amazing trainer and was able to answer any questions we had. We are very happy with our session.
Orlando was amazing and I was well informed on how to train puppies without using force. After the training I feel confident to keep my puppies in my home.
Helped make sure the meeting between Bella & Mr. Tiny would be peaceful and both can co-habitate peacefully.
Orlando was Amazing! Honest & worked hard to train my dog quickly!
I had an amazing experience with Robert — I saw results with my stubborn dog almost immediately. He quickly understood his personality, pinpointed the real issues, and showed me simple, effective techniques that actually worked. My dog is already calmer, more focused, and finally listening, and I left the first session feeling genuinely hopeful. I highly recommend Robert to anyone struggling with a tough dog.
Michael came to help with my 10 month old Australian Shepherd, who is mostly blind and hard of hearing, and my 6 year old Papillon/Springer mix. On day one Michael took the time to listen to all my concerns and carefully explain how to help and I saw an immediate drastic change, especially in my 10mo who was the main concern. I am blown away and so grateful for the help.
I have a beautiful and very sweet dog that I love dearly who is great with people and most dogs but literally wants to eat small dogs. I called Bark Busters desperate after an incident that ended in my husband getting bit pulling my dog off a small dog. Michael came into our home and spent the time listening to us and observing. He gave us tools to regain the control over our animals and taught us how to read body language in the dogs to be able to get the dog back into a “green” Zone and avoid “red” zone situations. We may never be able to fully trust our dog around other small dogs but we are very aware and using Bark Busters techniques to keep control over our giant breed dogs. I’m so happy and feel this was money well spent. Thank you so much!!!
John has been incredible with our two pitbulls. I love telling people that my personal trainer is coming to the house - because the reality is that my husband and I are being trained how to be responsible alpha dogs! The training and guidance we have received has enabled us to produce two dogs that people can enjoy being around. Our daughter was blown away by the level of calm that has developed in our home. We still have a lot to learn but feel confident because John's unique training provides us with the tools to correct problems as they come up. He is available when we need him! We look forward to seeing him to show off what we accomplished. We recommend John to everyone!!
Both my husband & I have enjoyed working with James!! He’ is truly a dog “whisperer”! Although, we’ve had many dogs in our life, we found ourselves struggling with a young lively pup. He was reassuring, patient and always positive. We definitely benefited from his innumerable advice. Now after almost a year, we’ve gained a handle on our precious pup, Etta! She’s much more disciplined and delightful because of his guidance! We most wholeheartedly recommend Bark Busters!!
Andy took our family from a place of nervous hope (having adopted a young pitbull from the local SPCA) to confident pride in our dog's ability to learn and improve. After the very first session, we felt we had a better handle on things. Andy has a natural ability to teach. In our case, his audience ranged from an 11 to 82 years old and we ALL walked away with the same impression: we understood better how dogs think, and how to can use that understanding to improve behavior. We have worked with professional dog trainers in the past (with previous family dogs) but have never felt as educated, empowered and joyfully optimistic as we did after our time with Andy. He truly is gifted at what he does!
Robert began the training 20 minutes before our scheduled time with a call to our house to explain techniques to help with our dog that races to the door and excitedly greets guests by jumping on them. Then he patiently spent three hours with us to go over methods to establish boundaries that helped with our real challenge: a 65lb dog that likes to pull. I’m amazed at the progress we’ve made in just two days. Turns out WE needed the training and Robert was an excellent teacher for us all. We’d highly recommend.
Susan has been fantastic. We’ve only been working with her for about 2 weeks and already there is significant improvement in my dog’s reactivity. My dog would pull on the leash and bark/lunge at people, other dogs and bikes. Susan is knowledgeable, patient and results oriented. The training exercises are simple and practical. I’d highly recommend!
If you really want your dog's behavior to change rather than just teach them tricks, this is the Person you go to. Luis is a very kind and professional human who loves dogs and you can tell. He’ll definitely teach you how to understand your dog and read their behavior. My relationship with my dog has never been as strong as it is now, after he taught me to understand her and be there for her. My dog is 3 1/2 years old now, and I first hired Luis when she was approximately five months old. Having a husky is a challenge, but Luis has made my life so much easier. I recently moved in with my partner. Luis was there for us so that my partner can have the same connection with my dog as I have. Thank you so much, Luis!!
Today was my first training session with Bonnie(amazing!!) and I couldn't be more pleased. She thoroughly explained what we would be working on with my 5-year-old golden, as well as the reasoning and science behind it. I saw changes in my dog after only one session working on staying calm and greeting people coming through the front door, recall exercises, leash walking and most importantly, establishing myself as pack leader (a work in progress!!) I can't wait for my next session and to see how my dog progresses. I was very pleased and impressed with Bonnie. She is very knowledgeable and a great trainer for both dog and human.
Rob was amazing. We saw results with our dog almost immediately. Had all the tricks. He has been the only one willing to help us. The whole experience from the first phone call was amazing, professional and caring . Highly recommend.
I have been working with Ryan at Bark Busters Colorado Springs, since February 2026… and I can’t tell you how much peace it’s brought me, and more importantly: my dog. As a single woman, and owner of a crafty hunting canine, I have employed at least four different dog training professionals. Ryan and the Bark Busters philosophy was the first where we had immediate behavior change, clear boundaries, and sound logic to make me feel confident in the ‘why.’ I have met with Ryan three times in the last month alone, and he’s always met my dog and I with empathy, kindness and enthusiasm. His gentle demeanor is appropriately countered with holding both of us (mostly me) accountable to the step-wise fashion of the program. I continue to see improvements in my dog’s confidence, a greater focus on me, steadiness in the home, and immediacy in responding to basic obedience- especially recall. I cannot recommend Ryan and the program enough! Seriously. If you’re considering their services – just do it. You, and your dog, will be so grateful you did <3

Is Bark Busters Right for You? Let's Answer Your Questions.

Every Bark Busters trainer has received extensive instruction to understand how dogs interact, learn, and perceive the world – and we teach you to communicate with your dog in ways they understand. We conduct private, in-home training sessions that are customized to each dog and client’s needs and give you the tools and skills you need to address challenges as they arise. We also offer a life-of-dog guarantee that ensures we are here to help whenever you need us. Any Breed. Any Age. Any Issue. We support our clients and their dogs with everything from puppy training to resolving severe behavioral issues.

Sometimes the case calls for the use of food to build positive associations; however, Bark Busters does not use a treat-based reward system. Our research and 30-plus years of experience have shown us that praise and affection are the best motivators, particularly in dogs that are stressed, fearful, or not food-driven. 

No. Our approach is humane. Pain, punishment, and fear do not work and most often make things worse. Education using clear communication is our key to getting great results and building a trusting, positive relationship between you and your dog.

Your trainer will learn your dog’s temperament and any behavioral challenges you wish to address. After we determine your training priorities and goals, we will coach you through the exercises best suited for your dog. Our training methods are built on trust and respect between you and your canine companion – techniques we have seen achieve consistent, long-lasting results over our 30-plus years in business.

The number of visits depends on both your and your dog’s needs. Some people begin seeing progress with their dogs immediately; other dogs have more persistent problems and require numerous visits. We charge a flat fee, so if your case is more challenging or new issues arise, you don’t pay anything extra. We are here to help you get results!

The cost depends on your dog and its issues, your location, and the number of dogs involved. Please contact your local trainer so we can find out more about the situation and provide you with an accurate quote.
