Amazing! Learning how to get my dogs to respect me without using punishment. Amanda is so great and is helping me develop better boundaries and healthy behaviors for my pups. I have 2 great danes and i lost control. Amanda is helping me get it back and i definitely see the light! Highly recommend!!!
Amanda is an excellent trainer. She really helps you understand why your dog may be behaving the way they are and helps you with solutions that are achievable and effective to resolve your dogs behavioral problems. You’ll see results at your first lesson. If you’re looking for help with behavioral issues with your dog Amanda and Bark Busters can help. I highly recommend. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can’t say enough good things about my experience! From the very start, both Tiffany and Amanda were incredibly responsive and understanding. Tiffany took the time to answer every one of my questions and concerns over email and phone before our first session, which really put me at ease.
I came into our first session pretty anxious since my dog struggles with fear aggression, and I was worried about everyone’s safety. Amanda immediately made me feel comfortable and confident that we were in good hands. She addressed all of my concerns with patience and professionalism, adapting her training approach to fit my dog’s specific needs and behavior.
For the first time in a long while, I feel genuine relief and hope that helping and managing my dog’s behavior is possible. I can’t wait to keep working with Amanda and continue building on the awesome progress we’ve already made!
We’re expecting our first baby and reached out to Amanda because our 7-year-old black lab mix had started showing some protective behavior toward me. I was worried about how he’d handle all the changes that come with bringing a new baby home, and I wanted to make sure we set everyone up for success and not have our dog become a source of stress.
We are amazed at how much progress he’s made already! Amanda is awesome at helping us think through different situations that will arise when the baby comes and proactively address them.
One of our other goals was to have him crate trained by Thanksgiving (a two-month window) so we could host guests without worrying about him barking or him being in everyone’s space. To our surprise, literally after the first session, he already has the skills, and I feel confident he’ll meet that goal!
I really appreciate the practical tools and knowledge Amanda shares to help us reestablish calm, confident leadership and create a peaceful home environment. We’re so excited to keep working with her, and I already feel so much more at ease about bringing our baby home, knowing our dog is learning to respect boundaries and can just be a relaxed, happy dog.
My partner and I had our first session with Amanda yesterday, and it was truly magical. When seeking a dog trainer we read all the reviews before making a decision, and now I can understand crystal clear why she has 5 star ratings everywhere. Amanda has a different philosophy to training and we saw those results immediately! I would recommend her to any dog parent struggling with their fur babies. She also shared a ton of profound knowledge, new to me.
I've worked with dog trainers before and have never seen such quick progress with my dog Phoebe. Before joining Bark Busters, Phoebe would bark at every chance, cry when left alone, and raise hell on the leash. But after working with Amanda for just a few sessions, she's practically done a 180! It's also reassuring to know that we have long-term support and training if we need. If you're considering Bark Busters, let this be your sign to take the plunge!
Bark Busters has been amazing and helped get our household back on track. My partner and I felt stuck and frustrated with our large-breed dog, who would practically pull our arms off during walks. Within just one session, Amanda gave us the tools we needed to manage our dog's behavior.
WOW! Amanda came out and within the first session, my dogs responded perfectly! I was ready to rehome them because I was frustrated with their behavior and no clue what to do. A trainer was my last resort, and Bark Buster’s called me back promptly and put us on the schedule. Amanda talked with us for a long time to understand what was going on and what my goals were. She taught me to talk to them like a dog not a human and immediately they responded! I’m in love with my dogs again❤️ Worth the call and money!
Amanda is a God send!! We have had continual issues with our dogs and we have had multiple trainers either not believe us or provide guidance that did not prove effective. We were desperate for change and Amanda provided that. After the first session we had tools to address the biggest issues with our dog and felt like we had control once again. I also love that her service is more than just a few training sessions, we can message her for questions and there are scheduled pack walks every week.
