    Photo of Molly, Reyna & Mac We had our first session with Ryanne, in our home for our 3 dogs with Bark Busters Dog Training. Our dogs have been barking uncontrollably out of the window at our neighbors, counter surfing, getting into fights with each other, and more! After the first session, we are reclaiming the windows and the kitchen. They are learning to respect our space. We still have work to do to become the leaders in the home that we need to be, but we are off to a great start!

    Photo of Bella Marie and Shelby Lynn Damon is absolutely the best!!! He is the most patient and kind trainer. I was blown away by his knowledge of dog behavior and just watching how both of my girls responded to him. I felt completely at ease asking any questions that came up and trying all training techniques with him present. I have a 7 year old female mixed breed and just rescued a 2 year old chihuahua. The 7 year old has had some trouble adjusting to not being the only dog in the house. She is a bit jealous and the new rescue really hasn’t had any training. She was a barker, was partially potty trained and has really severe separation anxiety. I turned to Damon because I clearly needed help. It was amazing to see how both of my dogs responded to me without treats or punishment on the very first day of training. We are working on training daily and being consistent and it has made all the difference. The 2 yr old has not had a single accident in the house since our initial training session and she has gone to doggy daycare successfully! We are still working on barking, but she is MUCH better. Peace has returned to our house and it is great!! I couldn’t be more thankful and do not regret my choice at all!!

    Could not recommend Bark Busters enough.

    We called Kevin to help us with our blind 2 year old Aussie mix. He was getting the (wrong) idea that he was in charge of the house and neighborhood. Barking, lunging, pulling at the leash, guarding the front door. We were worried this would lead to a bite. Kevin showed up promptly and calmly. He efficiently sussed out the household. We have an elderly dog who is generally well behaved, but Kevin determined that we actually work with both dogs because we were basically a pack and the pack had no real leader. He taught us how to properly communicate with our dogs using dog language, and how to let them know that we are the ones in charge. The change seemed on the verge of a miracle and everything turned around for us after only one session. No crazy leash walking, no barking at dogs and humans. The house is calm and the dogs honestly seem happier. I recommend Bark Busters to friends who come over and wish their dogs behaved like ours!

    Photo of Bruce & Pepper I have to say, I wasn’t totally convinced I’d see a difference in behavior after that first visit. I was hopeful, but a little skeptical.
    When Sarah arrived, we sat down and talked about my dogs. I have two; 5 month old female lab/pit mix, Pepper, and 4 year old make pit/kelpie mix, Bruce. After talking me through the process and explaining why dogs behave certain ways, I was an intrigued to see how my dogs would react. Within 20 minutes, Sarah met my babies. Bruce was calm, but excited; Pepper was her crazy little puppy self, jumping and licking and nipping at Sarah. Within a minute, that behavior stopped and if it started to show its face again, it was gone again in a matter of seconds. No bribing with treats, no yelling, no touching. She just spoke their language!! Sarah was calm, yet assertive, confident and encouraging. The dogs reacted to her as if she’d been their pack leader forever!! Over the next three hours we worked through the process, allowing me to take the lead and showing the dogs that I could lead them too. She left us with homework and an appointment for our next visit. When she says consistency is key, she isn’t kidding! It’s like I have two different dogs now that I’m speaking their language! We have boundaries. Walks are calm. I get to walk up the stairs without being tripped! I’m so much more relaxed! And they are so happy!
    TRUST her when she says you will notice a difference after that first visit! I witnessed it! I’m living it! She’s amazing and encouraging to both dogs and owners!!
    I am forever grateful to you, Sarah. I cannot wait to show you the progress we’ve made in such a short amount of time and I can’t wait for you to meet my grand dog, Morty!!
    Thank you, Sarah! You are incredible at what you do! I cannot thank you enough!!!

    Photo of Frankie Frankie is our 1-year-old male Schipperke. They are a strong willed and very intense breed. We were experiencing some behavior issues with him, and I heard about Bark Busters at our veterinary office. I signed him up and Deb Boswell came out to our place in early February. She immediately got his attention and started showing us some of the training techniques they teach. We were quite surprised in how quickly he learned that he was not the boss anymore.
    Deb has made one other follow up visit, and we have her phone number if we have any questions or need further visits.
    He is making progress and are very satisfied with the Bark Busters program.
